Railroad went into et feet on the first of the week. The train bound north passes this city at 12.10, passing the other train at .Miller's Station ; the southern bound train (from 1'orttotid) passes thii city at 12.40. Both are "mixed" trains, that is, both carry freight as well as passengers. Packages of any size can lie sent daily by either train a very great accommodation to the public, but calculated to les sen the receipts of the Kxpraes Com pany. . A new dry goods establishment will soon be opened, and a new tin shop is talked of. The completion ofthe Albany & Santiara Canal has attracted the attention of a large number of business men, who have visited the eitv to see for themselves the advantages offered tor the investment of capital. The result seems to have been generally satisfactory, and a good deal of inquiry for property, especially to the business portion o! the city, hs been the result. It is generally be lieved that the coming season will lie a brisk one, and that business generally will flourish as it never has before. Handy. The Albany Express train now leaves this city for Port land at 5.30 each week-day morn ing. The train starts from the foot of Ferry street, opposite the City Mills, and does not go to the depot at all. Therefore, passengers should 'be on hand at the City Mills live minutes before train time. Tickets can be procured on the train. This is a much more ac cessible point, right in the heart of the city, and must certainly prove a gieat accommodation to our citizens. The fare, too, on this train, is much cheaper than on the regular train, , The Daughters , of Kebekah, of this city, talk of getting up a grand Fair or Supper in the course of a tew weeks. Whatever they do de cide upon we unhesitatingly predict wi 11 pro v e a fi rst class success. Let us have something of the kind soon. If the D. H.'s can't make a success of anything they undertake, who can? PLnSt Charles Hotel, Eugene (!itv, is an orderly, well kept, and Urn crop or any oilier crop.

Monday being wwh-day, is not a i good day for intinerant venders of , them in 1870, namely, $305,800, quack nostrums, as soma of them 1 000 ; next we find the value of the tjavefbtod oat of lata.

Register': The following is a correct statement of the census report of School District No. 5, Linn county, Oregon, for the year 1874: Whole number of legal voters 470 Whole number of persons over 4 and under 40 years -males, 247; females 2ii'2 -total 509 Total number per last year's report 445 Showing an increase of In the above enumeration of per sons between the ages of 4 and 20 years, 389 have attended the Dis trict school; 83 have attended the College and other schools, and 137 have not attended any school during the last year. Now, Mr. Editor, permit me to say to the cit izens of School District No. 5, that the above report con clusively prows that we badly need another school-house, and to that end let every voter in the District come out to the school meeting, on tiie first Monday in April next, t with his mind made up to vote a tax to build a school-house, in some good locality in the District, capaf ble of holding at least one hundred and fifty pupils. Our present school-house isalready overcrowded, and yet there are one hundred and thirty-seven children who have no chance to attend school because of the want of room. Certainly such a condition of things should not loiig remain unremedied. A. N. Arnold, DiBt. Clerk. Parson's, the "Singer" man, was in the city on Monday. He says the demand for the Singer is still unabated, and therefore the sales are large. The Gr'anger, having received iiew type, and rentei the room for merly occupied by the Register for an office, will hereafter try it alone. Success to it. Greatest Crop of the World. A question widely discussed in. volves the relative value of the wheat, cotton, tea and hay crops of the world. Which of these crops employs tlie greatest amount ofthe j world's capital? It is said that hay leads the rest, and the items that enter into account as stated are somewhat startling and will make a Granger's, hair stand on end. Cotton and tea are local crops, while hay is produced everywhere the world over, and thus the hay ! crop greatly outweighs either of the other two. The aggregate re ported value of all farm products of 1870 was $2,417,538,058; but as this includes additions to stock, "betterments," etc., it is probably too high. Now the hay crop of the year that is the grass dried and cured for use or sold is report ed at over 27,000,000 tons. This at half the selling price in the large cities, would amount to $405,000, 000, and is far greater than the -A" l - --j. - aggregate nome vaiue oi me cot- even in the roughest way In the lirst place, live stock, in eluding horned cattle, horses, sheep, swine, etc., to ine vaiue oi i,ooo,- 00O.OOU, were reu .rum iihmjw, Averaging the lives of those at live years we have oue-fifth of that sum as representing the grass fed ALBANY REGISTER. year to be $809,000,000, and as this is an annual product, the whole of it for the present will be credit ed to the great crop of 1870 as 514,000,000 pounds, which at the average of 25 cents, amounts to $128,000,000, and this goes to the credit of grass; next we have 235,000,000 gallons of milk, which, averaged at the low estimate of ten cents per gallon, adds 25,000,000 more to the credit of the grass crop; then we have. 100000,000 pounds of wool at 25 cents a pound, adding, $25,000,000 more; and finally 53,000,000 pounds of cheese at 10 cents, adding over 85.000,000 to the total of these credits to the grass crop of 1870, which aggre gates $887,000,000..- Vermont Chronicle. .MOW TO-BAY.
