the (f & C. 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?

Report for School Dlatrlet No. 5.
Ed. 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

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
