ALBANY REGISTER.
LOCAL MATTERS.
A Grand HNTEnrnisR. Messrs. A.
F. Cherry and others of tlijs city have
filed articles incorporating a joint
stock company, with tlie avowed jxir
pose of building suitable works in
which to commence the maiMifaetitre
of all kind, of agricultural inipleineiits
and in iclriiies needed by the farming j
community on the Pacific -slope . The
capital -stock is to be $50,000, divided
into liftv shares of $100 per slia.-e.
The enterprise should meet with the
hearty support of all citizens who are
truly in earnest when they say they
hope for better times in Oregon. The
course hitherto pursued by out people
is clearly a suicidal one ii course tliat.
if still persisted in, will certainly bank
rupt the State. We speak now of tlie
almost universal practice of our farm
ers and others, of purchasing their
wagons, harvesters, etc., of Eastern
manufacturers, tints discouraging
equally meritorious work at home.
Thousands of dollars are annually ant
to the East from Mini county to pay
for Eastern work, the money never to
return, when equally as good if not
better work conld have been obtained
at home, on as reasonable terms.
There is, however, really no need of
extending our remarks. Tlie point
is just here: if we wish to see Oregon
become agrea t and prosperous State, we
raut cease tlie practice of draining our
purse-s ev-ry year, in the purchase of
articles from .he East, that we can
have manufactured within her borders,
in as good style, as durable and as
cheap, and thus retain tlie money
among us. This is true economy.
Every dollar taken trom circulation
here, and sent off to iay for foreign
goods, is just so much taken from cir
culation that will never return to us.
The completion ot the Albany & San
tiatn Canal, which is now assured tit
an early date, will give us advantages
for manufacturing purposes equal to
those of tlie most tavored localities
It will enable us to manufacture all
kinds of agricultural implements and
machinery, it may be, at lower figures
than the same articles can be obtained
for from the East. Columns of argu
ments might be written in advocacy
of the establishment of this and similar
enterprises among us. but tlie good
sense of our people w ill lead them to
see the advantages to accrue from
Uiem, and we hope, w ithout further
urging on our part, to sub-scribe for
the stock, and inaugurate an enterprise
that will prove of greater general ben
efit to our people than can be estimated
at this time.
FiRR. The alarm of "lire" on Sun
day night, which created such an ex
citement for a few moments, was
caused by the upsetting of a gasoline
lamp at the residence on corner ot
Second and Montgomery streets. The
fire was extinguished soon alter the
bell peeled out the alarm, but our
firemen were not aware of the fact, ol
course, and tlie way they went for the
engine Wits a caution! Churches were
almost emptied in a jiltV, and soon the
engine house was filled with a crowd
of panting, breathless, sweating lire
men, ready to do nil in their power to
save life and projiei-ty.
Leo Broken, Last Saturday a
twin sou of Theodore Hodges, who
resides in Benton county, some four or
five miles from this city, made a mis
step in getting off a sulky plow, got
his left leg esitiaht In some manner in
the plow, and fell, breaking the two
bones in the legls-twcen tlie ankle and
knee square off. The hoy Is about
fourteen years of age. Dr. Lbiwy
Hill was called in and rendered tlie
necessary surgical aid. At last ac
counts tlie patient was doing finely.
NEW Papkh.-I). C. Ireland. Esq..
of Portland, gave us a call on Friday.
He proposes to issue a seuii-weekly
journal at Astoria, and has already
ordered the material therefor. Mr. Ire
land is a newspaper man of large ex
perience, and if anybody can make a
success in the newspaper line at Asto
ria, he will. He Us our best wishes,
t any rate,
Firemen's Picnic and IUix.-The
picnic on '1-uesduy was altogether tht
most pleasant and agreeable one that
has transpired here siuce we havebeei
a resident of tlie city. For three dav
previous the mornings had been cloudy
and threatening rain, and fears were
entertained that the pWuio would be
spoiled by falling "mists;" but the
morning of the lltth opened without a
cloud, everybody wore smiling f;u;e-s
thereat. A very large uroce-ssiou.

I. followed by vehicles of virions
descriptions, loaded with festive
plclllcers headed by the Albany Bras
Rami, moved out to Hat'klemau's
beautiful oak grove in the eastern sub
urbs of the city, shortly after 9 o'clock
A. M. The place Is specially adapted
to festivities of this character, and its
eonarin beauty we have not seen on
tlie coast. Here swings had been
erected, croquet ami base ball grounds
laid out, a stand erected for the orator
of the day aud the music, with com
fortable seats tor the audience. Sev
eral refreshment booths were also pro
vided, where ice cream, pies, cakes,
soda water, etc., could be obtained by
those who came unprovided with re
freshments. The large concourse of
people, variously estimated at from
1.500 to 2.800. proceeded to enjoy the
time and occasion as pleased each in
dividual fancy, until one o'clock P.M..
when, after iiiu-ic by the Albany Baud
and a song by the Glee Club, the orator
of the day, Gen, M. V. Brown, was
introduced, aud proceeded to orate,
"bringing down the house" every few
minutes with scintillations of wit and
liappy "hits" at the times. The ora
tion was well received. The Glee
Club deserve special mention for their
excellent singing. The crowd, d state
of our columns precludes further re
marks at this time on this subject.
Suffice it to any the Firemen's Picnic
Was a big thing! The Fireman's Ball
in the evening, at the splendid new-
hall on Second street, recently erected
by our fellow townsman. Mr. D.
Fromau, and christened Pacific Opera
House, was another triumph for the
Firemen. At a guess we should say
there were two hundred and fifty per
sons in attendance, the preponderance
in numbers being in favor of the ladies.
The East Portland string hand had
been engaged and discoursed sweet
mudefor tlie dancers. The arrange
ments for the comfort and pleasure of
the company were so perfect that not
a ripple disturbed the smooth gliding
hours, and a more enjoyable hall don't
often make itself visible to the naked
optic. The supper, gotten up under
the supervision of Miss Ellen Murray,
and set in the engine house opposite
the ball room, was complete, and de
serving of a more extended notice.
Picnic and ball, taken separately or
together, were grind triumphs, not
excelled in elegance or in tl e general
satisfaction given to all partaking of
them, anywhere and our firemen are
deservedly proud of the occasion.
