ALBANY REGISTER.
Paper for Orriron.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1874,
Wooijen FACTORy The Fctcbr.
Steps tat the erection of a woolen
lactory in tin Spring, have been taken.
Mr. Pratt, prooably the most tliorough
manufacturer on the coast, is chief of
the enterprise a certain guarantee ot
its success. The building and ma
chinery will cost foUOOO. ami will
prove a first class investment. To
the energy of such men as compose
the directory of the Sautiam Canal, is
due the growing prosperity of our city.
The building of a woolen mill is only
the forerunner of other large enterpri
ses which the near future will develop
in our city. Thesua"essfuljpnipletion
of the Santiam Canal has brought to
our doors the best ami cheapest power
for propelling machinery, and when
the many and great advantages of the
"situation" are made known to the
"outside world," capital, the only
thing lacking at present to establish
and successfully prosecute all kinds of
industries in our midst, will be easy
of attainment. The out-look for
Albany never appeared so fair and
promising, and with a continued efTort
in the right direction by our people,
all will be and remain well with ns.
Again we say, all honor to those who
have, against a sea ot obstacles, stood
firm and unyielding in their deter
mination to push to a successful issue
the first great caue of all our antici
pated prosperity, the Albany & San
tiam Canal.
Pacific Coast Mai. The proprie
tors of the S. F. Chronicle have kindly
sent us one of their splendid Gift Maps
of the Pacific Coast. It is excellently
gotten up, aud I3 a valuable present.
This map was gotten up especially for
the Chronicle, and is presented to all
new subscribers to that journal, fije.
As a thorough and reliable newspa
per, the Chronicle takes the lead of ail
the California journals, and is rapidly
reaching a position In the very front
rank of journalism. In energy, tact,
ability, in fact all the qualities which
go to make up a complete paper, it
stands pre-eminent. The weekly is fur
nished at 4 per year, and is a large
64 column paper, containing news,
mtscellany, markets, etc. Go for it,
it yon want a California paper.
Supposed Suicide. A man named
Woods, by occupation a tailor, died
at hl residence in Brownsville, on
flu 2d inst. it is supposed, from the
effects of poison administered by his
own hand. He had been on a spree
through the holidays, which so de
pressed his wife that she procured and
awallowed poison ; but as the fact was
discovered almost Immediately after
tlie act, and medical assistance ob
tained, her rash design was frustrated.
When Woods sobered off, and began
to 'reflect seriously on the cause which
had driven his wife to attempt suicide,
it to supposed he concluded to relieve
her of all future trouble on his account
aud he has.
Arson. A fellow named A. StClair.
has been arrested in Portland, charged
with being the party who fired the city
on the morning of the memorable Au
gust 2d, 1873. The police of Portland
had been 011 his track for months, but
not until the 7th Inst, was there deem
ed sufficient evidence in their hands to
warrant a conviction. He is an old
penitentiary convict, and under vari
ous aliases, lias ben guilty ot many
crimes. It Is to be hoped the evidence
this time may prove sufficiently clear
to enable the Court to free community
c such a pest forever.
Vbry Low. The wife of our
worthy City Recorder, J. R. Hen-en,
lias been very ill for some days with
inflammatory rheumatism, and she is
yet in a very critical condition. Her
friends and physician hope for the best,
however.
A row days ago the country about 80
miles north of Yakima City was shook
up oy an earthquake. Great fissures
were made In the ground, arid the peo
ple were' 'terrified thereat.

Installation Of officers of Albany
Lodge No. 4, 1.O.O.F., came off last
Wednesday evening. As the cere
monies incident to installation were
public, a goodly number were assem
bled at the hall on the evening in
question. After the installation a
very pleasant time was had by those
present. Following are the names of
those installed : W. Ketchum, N. G.:
H. D. Oodley, V. 0.; P. H. Ray
mond, R. S. ; G. W. Yoang, Treas

Ccbiosity. The Adrocate has the
following interesting item : A curi
osity has been dug up at North Yam
hill, consisting of a petrified human
finger with the nail perfect as life.
George Robinson and his brother were
digging a well, and at the depth of 30
feet they came to a clam bed, and
among the petrified clams the finger
was discovered. We are satisfied that
it never belonged to Noah aud his fami
ly, but cannot tell but what it was the
property of one of the "sufferers" of
that period. This relic lias been pre
sented by J. S. Robinson to Mr. Wood,
for his museum in Portland.
The Republic We are In receipt
of this excellent political magazine for
December. The mission of the Re
public is to disseminate political in
formation. It is probably the ablest
magazine of its character in the world,
and should be in the hands of every
intelligent citizen. It is published by
the Republic Publishing Company,
at Washington. D. C at $2 per
annum in advance.
Muddy. The roads leading to this
city are reported as being in an
execrable condition. One of the con
ditions of the continued prosperity of
this city is, that good roads be made.
Let our business men consider this
fact.
A man named Gosa, living a few
miles below Portland, has been ar
rested on a charge of incest on the
person of his , step-daughter. It is
further asserted that the girl lias taken
steps to procure an abortion, in which
a prominent physician of Portland is
somewhat inpliented.
San Francisco market shows no
advance in Wheat. The supply was
much greater than anticipated in the
State, and shippers are offering but
$2 2532 30 per cental In consequence.
At Portland $1 85S1 90 is the quota
tion. Oats are reported dull at 403
45c per bushel.
The Legislature of California has
