THE AI.RANT REGISTER
Will hereafter wivar u a semi-week
ly, and e isiiJ on Wednesday and
Stturtlav morninc of each week. The
advantage of a paper issued twice in
stead of once a week to its readers are
0 many and obvious that we need not
recite them. We shall endeavor to
give the latest intelligence, both local
and foreign, and make the Register
a sprightly, newsy, readable paper.
The subscription will remain the same
three dollars per annum in advance.
We hope by Issuing the paper twice a
week to make it generally more at
tractive to the home reader, ind thus
gain largely over lormer subscription
lists. If our fricndB will help us, vol
ume six will prove more prosperous
than any of the preceding volumes.
In this hope we send out the initial
number of Volume Six.
Examination or Teachers. A
public examination of teachers will be
held in the Albany District School
House on Saturday, Sept. 27, commenc
ing at 9 o'clock A. M.

Scoar Corn. F. M. Wadsworth
has a large quantity of splendid sugar
corn, the finest article for roasting and
sucatash puriose.s we have seen. It is,
also, exactly the thing for drying, and
those who desire corn for any of the
above purports, nan pmrairn it at
Wad., at reasonable rates.
Successful. Charles Mealey, Hank
Mendenhall, John Walton and Jerry
Winters, who returned from the Cas
cade Mountains last week, got away
with thirty-six deer. They killed four
the morning they started for home.
Hank Mendenhall has our best bow
for kindly remembering us with a
choice ham. No wonder they have
good luck.
To Advertisers. We have read
justed our rates for advertising, and
now ofFer ?pace in the Register for
small, short-time advertisements at
much lower rates than heretofore. No
man can expect to succeed In this age
of telegraphs and railroads, who does
not use printer's ink freely. Send in
your cards.

A Big Dat's Work. On Saturday
last, wheat, which had been gradually
advancing in price, suddenly jumped
from 82c to $1 per bushel. The news
that wheat commanded one dollar,
spread like a prairie fire, and the rush
and excitement was tremendous. Mr.
W. S. Newbury, agent for C. B. Corn
stock & Co., bought eighty thousand
bushel's at the Co.'s warehouse in this
city, on Saturday, while agents of the
house in this county, during the same
day, purchased filly thousand bushels
more, making a grand total of cne
hundred and thirty thousand bushels
of wheat, tor which the round sum of
one dollar per bushel will be paid.
This is the largest transaction in wheat
that ever transpired In one day fn this
city.
Junction Crrr. This place, a town
that has sprang into existence since
the building of the O. AC. Railroad,
a few miles south of Harrisburg, is
already a place of considerable com
mercial importance. Messrs. Smith
& Brasflekl have erected a large two
story frame building, 20x100 feet
occupying the lower story for the sale
of general merchandise, and convert
ing the upper Into an Odd Fellows
Hall. These gentlemen do a business
of between four and five thousand
dollars per month in merchandise
alone. There are six fine warehouses
completed, with a capacity of 190,000
bushels. We were told that between
250,000 and 300,000 bushels of wheat
would be shipped from that point this
. .! . .(
Thanks. Charley Mealey never
forgets his friends he would have
been a richer man but for hH Mg soul.
We are indebted to him for the present
of a pair of venison! hams. We shall
always live well while we number
such men as Charley among our friends.
Good Yield. Judge Baber's oat'
crop averaged sixty bushels to the
acre- His wheat crop was alio over
avenge. '

The country being entirely new to all
the company. Tuesday and Wednesday
were entirely consumed by our hunters
In getting the "lay of tlie land," and
getting a big ready to go for venlon.
On Thursday parties received tele
grams from home, informing them
that hus'ness matters made it impera
tive that they shonld immediately
return. This being the state of affairs,
on Thursday evening it was resolved
rather than divide up the party we
would all retnrn together on Friday
and thus It was that the exciirtionists
returned several dayseai Her titan at first
anticipated. For fovors extended dur
ing the excursion, the party are es
pecially indebted to Conductors, Root,
Stroud and Bloomfield, all ot whom
are gentlemen of the first water. No
party ever received" better treatment
at the hands of a Railroad Company's
officers, each vicing with the other in
extending courtesies. We hope to he
afforded many similar pleasant occa
sions.
Good Times Coming. The good
times so long looked for and anxiously
expected, it would seem are at least in
close proximity to this commonwealth
now. It is estimated that Linn county
will have about one million and a half
bushels of wheat to sell, which, should
present prices maintain, would put in
circulation In the county, for wheat
alone, the neat little sum of one mil
lion five hundred thousand dollars a
sum which, if equally divided among
our people, would afford each roan
woman and child quite a little amount
ol Din money. Add to this amount
the receipts for oats flax seed, woo)
eta, and we would not be for out of
the way should we place the grand
total that will be received in nsh this
season by our formers at f 2,500.000,
It looks now as if Oregon, and especially
Linn countyv was on the eve of "flush
times" the most prosperous ever en-
oyed. Certainly as a people we are
being specially blessed, and should be
duly thankful therefor.
