LOCAL EVENTS.
Tub Steamkii Aliianv. The 0. C. A
E. K. Co.'s new steamer, which I the
N. 8. Bentley rebuilt, nmde her maiden
trip during the week. The Albany is
the second boat of the nam? that has
navigated the Willamette. The drat
Albany was built at Caneinah in 1808
by the People's Transportation Com
pany, and her dimensions were some
what less than the Albany now at
Corvallis. fihe operated on the Wil
lamette until January, 1875, when she
sank at the mouth of the Long Tom.
She was in command of Captain Vickers,
who met his death month later from
the effects of exposure. At the time
be was wrecked portion of the old
boat drifted down to Buens Vista,
where' it remained on an island for
several years. In the spring of 1871
the Albany made 18 consecutive trips
between Oregon City and Eugene, clear
Ing from $800 to $1600 per trip.
A Bucesss. The concert given on
Toe day; evening by Hiss Neitn Barlow's
St. Cecilia chorus was the musical event
' the season. The chorus, which con
sist d of U singers, rendered some of
the choicest selections. The sing
ing of Miss Agnes Watt and Mies
Lois Steers and Miss Alex Ttiomis of
Portland was fins. Miss Morey made
a most favorable Impression at this,
ber first appearance before an Ore
gon City audience, and likewise
Mrs. Casaius U. Bsrlaw.. The in
strumental solos of Beatrice Bartow
showed remarkable talent. The string
quartettes composed of Misses Campbell
and Caufield and Messrs. Stevens and
Campbell were favorites. Each number
was encored and all seemed highly
pleased with the entertainment.
Rkmuious Discuhion. We learn that
arrangements have been made between
Bishop ' Dillon of the United Brethren
church and Elder Healy of the Seventh
Day AdventititB denomination to hold a
public discussion in Oregon City for
several days braining March 10th, on
the Sabbath question, as to which day
should be obseived according to the
Bible, Saturday or Sunday. . They will
also discuss the nature of man and the
cWi i Ion of the soul and spirit after
death. Both these men are disputants
of more than local reputation and will
doubtless ably represent the views of
their respective denominations.
