lie chan-ged from an easy chair to a lonnge,

wheels, can lie pushed In any direction. It
is designed especially for invalids or aged

Money is very tight indeed, and we
hear the complaint on every side. "I

others find it difficult to keep even, the

the last debt to be paid is his.

Among the newly elected officers of

John H. Smith re-elected Secretary.
Messrs. Flklns Bros., of the Lebanon

One of the oldest buildings in the

Washington and Second, owned by
Mr. Walter Monteith. around which

arly settlement of Albany, has been
raised two or three feet from tlie
ground, a ueat brick wall built under

or two of paint, it will be one of the
most elegant buildings in the city.
On Tuesday, as Mr. John Crawford

scarcely an ounce of superfluous flesh,
with a magnificent frame toughened
and strengthened by years of honest

his journey.

painted invitations to go to Baum's for
clothing, dry good, groceries, etc. A
number of the merchants on Firt
street objected to Batrm's monopoly of
the sprinkling wagon so long as their
money helped run it, and ordered a
reconstruction or they would discon

stood agreed not only to pay the
amounts subscribed by those refusing
to pay, but bound himself to give Mc.
a new suit of clothes, provided he
would continue through tlie season to
sprinkle the streets with the newly
painted sign-wagon. But tha contro
versy became too hot for Mc, and he
trundled his wagon up to the paint
shop, and had it painted a gorgeous
dun colored briudle and once more
peace reigns.
IT. tt. Offielal Paper
FRIDAY.
SEPTEMBER 25, 1874.
Tlie Legislature lias gone to work ap
parently in earnest, judging from tlie
number of bills introduced in the two
houses. Repealing bills have been in
troduced, which, it they become laws,
will undo about al! the work of that
body two years ago. Among them
we notice a bill to repeal tlie Litigant
Act ; to abolish die law creating Com
missioner' of Srate Lands for Ij Grande
district ; to repeal the game la w ; to
repeal the law ci eating a State Board
of Equalization ; to repeal the law pro
viding tor the payment of tlie traveling
expenses of the Supreme Judges, etc.
Bills have been introduced providing
for tlie abolishment of tlie grand jury
system ; to amend the mechanics lien
law ; to provide for the payment of
claims arising out of the Modoc war;
to amend the Code In relation to prac
tice In the courts ; to amend the road
law ; to provide for the payment of
bounties on the scalps of wild animals;
to provide lor the disorganization of
Tillamook county; to provtue salaries
for clerks and sheriffs, instead of fees
as now paid ; to amend the act for pro
tecting game and fish ; providing that
the Legislative Assembly shall meet
on the second Monday in October,
1876, and on the same day every second
vear thereafter: to exempt a home
stead from forced sale in certain cases
Also, a bill, introduced in the House
on Mondav. was read a second time
and referred to the Judiciary Commit
tee, to reiieal the act of 1872. providing
for clerical aid in the office of Secretary
of State. A bill has also been intro
duced re pea 1'u in the act creating an
Assistant State Treasurer. Retrench
ment is the watchword of the hour.
and all parties seem to he striving to
fulfill the promises made in the last

The excitement over in Benton
county regarding tlie proposed Cor
vallis A Yaquina Bay Narrow Guage
Railway increases in intensity, and
the feeling that her people not only
have the ability hot the will to com
plete the road-bed ready for the ties
and rail, grows stronger each day.
The subscriptions for stock in the en
terprise has progressed so favorably
since the books were opened, that a
meeting of the stockholders has been
called for the 17th of next month, for
tlie election of Directors, aiid the tran
saction of such other business ns may
be deemed necessary, by which time
it is confidently believed that every
dollar of the stock will have been
taken. The Gazette asserts its confi
dence in the belief that by ' next bar
vest tlie railroad will be an accom
plished feet, when Benton county will
bo placed on a par with the most
favored counties in the State in the
way of an outlet to market for all her
surplus produce. We hope tliat these
bright expectations may be fully real
ized. No one, we p res time, will for m
moment dispute the fact that the com
pletion of the improvement under con
sideration would prove of immense
importance to the commercial interests
nf Benton county, affording as tt
would cheap and quick transportation
to market for all her surplps products..
The completion of this railway would'
be the precursor of other important
lines leading to the heart of the Wil
lamette Valley, which, connecting at
Corvallis, would build up a city there
ot no mean importance. Yaquina
Bay, too, would soon teel the influence
of the mighty trade that would at once
lie inaugurated by the completion of
I he iron track to her border, and a
great commercial mart would be
erected on her banks, affording em
ployment to a large and thriving pop
ulation. Seeing the prospect before
them, let the people of Benton county
take courage now, and give willingly
and liberally toward the prosecution ot
this great enterprise, and the future
will repay them a thousand fold.

which would enable such officer to be
of vast benefit to tlie State.
