The Sctt Atlas.
A few days ago we received a call from
Mr. Edgar Williams, who showed ns the
maps and plats of the cities of Albany, Hal
sey, Harrisburg, and surrounding country,
which are now being prepared for the atlas of
Linn and Marion counties, which is to be
published this fall by Edgar Williams & Co.
The maps in this atlas will take in all that
part of each of these counties which is now
settled, giving the names of the persons who
originally owned the claims, the location of
. all dwellings ia the country, all county roads,
etc, which will make it the most valuable
work of the kind ever prepared in any section
of our State. Messrs. Lawrence and Alex
ander, two first-class civil engineers, have
charge of the map drawing, which is sufficient
guaranty that the work will be correct.
The Cash Secared.
W. P. Hamilton, of Corvailis, who has
worked so assiduously during the past few
months in the interest of the Yaqnina Rail
road, informed us last Monday that we conld
announce that the necessary amount of money
has at last been secured to complete the first
tea miles of the road. He had been working
in this city for several days, and reduced the
amannt wanted to about $200, and he told us
that could be raised at home in a few mo
menta. So now hurrah for the Yaqnina Rail
road. Work wjll soon commence on the road.
and soon the "bull-gine"' will be tearing
around over the Corvailis commons and wak
ing the echoes in Yaqnina canyon.

On Friday of last week the Albany, Leb
anon and Brownsville R R. Co. was incor
porated, with the following names: O. P.
Coahow, J. M. Mover, W. R. Kirk, D. Fro-
man, M. V. Brown, L. C. Rice, A. Pearce.
Last Saturday the editor ef this paper
received the fallowing from He. D. P.
Thompson, of Portland:
Will yon be kind enough to let me knew
what action has been taken in reference te
yoar "Narrow Guage" from Albany to Leba
non and Brownsville? If ao action has been
taken, or if matters have not takes any def - j
nite shape yet, I will take hold ef the matter, j
as I have aasuraneea ef the iron and rolling
stock being furnished me if I take held of
the matter. I will not interfere if the Al
bany people wish to go ahead alone.
As will b seen by this letter there art
others in this State besides we cled-hoppen
who think the A. L t B. read eeuld be made
a financial success. Knowing that if a few
men, who were ia possession of sufficient
capital, would take hold of the matter it
conld be pashed through to completion with
greater rapidity than if the same plan should
be adopted which is bow being followed by
the Yaqnina Railroad Compaay, the Commit
tees are new corresponding with Mr. Thomp
son with the intention of turning the enter
prise over to him, providing satisfactory
arrangements can be made, and a eenfereace
between him aad the committee has been set
for next Monday afters eon. The committees
met in joint session in this eity oa Friday
and Satarday of last week and drew up and
filed articles of incorporation for the Albany,
Lebanon and Brownsville Narrow Gauge
Railroad, placing the capital at $80,000,
divided iato 1,600 shares of $50 each. Stock
books have boea epoaed ia Albany and
Brownsville aad the matter is progressing
nicely. The first maa to take stock in this
city was David Froman, whe put down his
name for 20 shares, aad we loara that 300
shares have already been taken at Browns
ville. This shew that the people aro -in
earnest ia the matter. The stock hooks have
not been circulated ia this eity, and will not
be until after the meeting next Monday,
when, if it is concluded that it is best for the
Linn county people to build th road, our
city will do its share.
P. S. A dispatch was received from Mr.
Thompson last evening announcing that he
would be ia Albany oa Monday. The Leba
non and Brownsville committees will take
notice and be on hand.
Large Laaaber Ceatraet.
Mr. Nimred Price has seen rod the contract
for furnishing the lumber for the construction
of the bridge across the Saatiam between
this city aad Scio. The Lina county author
ities have awarded the contract for building
the bridge to Messrs. Miller I Sea for $12,000
the bridge to be completed by the first of
August Mr. Price is to furnish 300,000
feet of lumber from his saw-mill, 6 miles
above Lebanon, for which ho is to receive
$14 per thousand feet delivered oa the bridge
site. This is perhaps the largest lumber con
tract ever let ia Linn county, aad is a high
compliment to the quality of Mr. Price's
lumber, as well as to his ability to furnish it
Mr. P. informs ns that he has about 100,000
feet of the amonnt sawed, and will have the
balance ia eood time, besides capplying all
bills and filling all other orders which may
be given him by the public Let the pablic
remember that he keeps constantly on hand
the very best quality of lumber of all kinda,
and is fully able to compote ia the market
with any other mill as to quality aad
prices.
A Severe Accident.
John Bryant who last ceasea worked at
the Fruit Dryer in this eity, is now working
at Frank Wood's mine on the Greenhorn Bar,
at which place he met with quite aa accident
last r ndav. its was repairing the ditch
which supplys the diggings with water; and
while cutting limbs from a fir he fell out of
the tree, and falling a distance of about
twenty-five feet, struck on his shoulders and
back. He was picked np senseless aad taken
to camp, but afterwards revived and is bow

"Co Than and Ds likewise."
Editor Democrat:
I find the following local notioe in one of
the Salem dailies of recent date:
CaismiAS AKRSrreD. John Mlnto ever keens an eye
oponto business in regard to nuisance. A few days
aw he ordered a china.nan who conducts a washing
House, to clean up the back yard. Yesterday he made
an Inspection ot th place and found that the chinaman
had paid no attention to hi. warnins, and ho im
mediately laid the elutcbes ol the law upon him and
marched Bin) before the Recorder, who toreed him to
pay the sum of 15 for his noRlij-e,.. A fow Inore
examples like the above, aad these Cllinameu will learn
to obey our law.
Now, Mr. Editor, this is exactly the kind
of work we want in Albany. The stench
arising from the Chinese wash-houses in this
city is perfectly horrible, and a great amount
of sickness is caused by it. Physicians tcU
me it cannot help but breed virulent fevers.'
and with this staring them in the face how
can our city authorities sit idly by and do
nothing whatever towards abatinc the nuis
ances which are the prime causes of these
disorders. A short time ago a petition, signed
by nine-tenths of the property-holders and
business men on First street, was presented
to the Council asking for tho removal of all
Chinese wash-houses from within the citv
limits. What was tho result ! I see by
your report of the proceedings of the Council
that it was referred to a committee with in
structions that they should "report an ordi
nance which would remedy the evils com
plained of." Instead of doing so the com
mittee reported that the enforcement of n
certain section of our present city law would
be all that was required, and this report was
received and nothing more was said about it
la the meantime the Chinese are just as
dirty as ever, and their premises do not smell
one whit the Utter. Why can't the Council
in some way stiffen up the backbono of our
City Marshal so that our city papers could
spea ot turn like they do of Miuto in Salem?
The evils that are complained of at Salem
are just the same as they are hero. There
the Marshal gets away with it in good shape ;
here, there is nething dene whatever, and
the lives of numbers of our citixeas are
placed in jeopardy in consequence of it
It seems to me that the Health Committee
if there is such a Committee) can find enough
work to cause them to have a report at each
meeting of the Council, and for the purpose
of giving them a start we will mention a
couple of large privies which should be pur
ified at once one at the Revere House, and
the other (by all odds the worst) behind Fio
man's brick block, in the rear of Blain a
clothing store.
I know advice is easy to give and hard
to take, so the city officials can use their own
pleasure in regard to what I have said. The
health of oar eity, and probably the lives of
several of our citizens, are . iu their hands,
and consequently they should act quickly,
and when they hear of any nuisance within
ur city limits, have it removed, even if in
doing so they do tread oa the corns of some,
of onr richest men.
Yoa may possibly hear from me again, if I
see a chance to growl NEMO.
Am Aaswer to "Xeme.,
"Nemo" asks some very pertinent questions
ia his communication to-day, and also gives
some very good advice, but the Marshal tells
us that he cannot at present have nuisances
removed on account of the lack of teams.
All teams that can be had are now hard at
work clearing up alleys, and several of the
wasb-kouses have already been drained. Th
Marshal evidently intends doing his best to- '
wards purifying our eitv. and wo would!
advise that whenever a citizen knows of a j back, and the entire breed have been co
nusance within our city limits he givo the torious inflationists ever since the liooj.

It Is Heaven to come, with birds and boas,
To the toast ot apple bloom.
For the gabled root ef hems arose
O'er the sheen of the orchard snow.
And is still my shrine, when storms repose
And the gnarly branches blow ;
And tho music ot childhood's singing heart.
That was lost in thi backward gloom.
Mar be hoard when the robins meet and part
At the (east ot apple bloom.
And I think, when the treos dUplay a crown
Like the gleam of a resting dove.
Of a face that was framed iu tresses brown
And ajlow with a mother's lore ;
At the end ot the orchard path she stands,
And I laugh at my manhood's doom
As my spirit flics, with lifted hands.
To the feast of apple bloom.
When the rainbow paths of fade i.les
Aro restored with the diamond .-"'.in.
And the joys of my wasted paradise
Are returning to earth again.
It is sadder than death to know how brief
Are the smiles that the dead assume ;
Hut a moment allowed, a flying leaf
From the feast ot apple bloom.
Eut a golden arch fores er shines
Iu the dim and darkening past
Where I stand again, as day declines.
And the world la bright and vast;
Tor the glory that lies along the lane
Is endeared with sweet perfume.
And the world Is ours, and we are twain
At the feast of apple bloom.
Eh: wu mors than fair In the wreath she wore
Of the cmamy buds and blows.
And she comes to mo from the speoohlese shoro
When the flowering orchard glows ;
And I sigh for tho dreams so sweet and swift.
That are laid ia s sacred tomb
Yet aro nothing st last bnt fragrant drift
From the feast of applo bloom.

THE MISTS riSS.
Men amr, Oos., April 16th, 1S73.
Editor Democrat :
Wa are classed a Republican, and plead
guilty to the accusation ; at the same time
asserting our free born citizenship and refus
ing serfdom to any ring, claiming the prerog
ative of censuring a family incendiary, or of
lauding the nobility of an enemy. The Dem
ocratic Senator from Oregon has gained many
friends ia this and contiguous counties of
the State by introducing a bill for opening
up the Mt Jefferson Pass Road, better
known locally as the "Minto routs." If
Senator G rover will stand firmly by this
measure to a final consummation, he will
have accomplished much for the State, merit
ing continued confidence aud support For
rock, ocean and mountain hemmed aa our
tote is, the opening of this route would give
us a direct aud easy outlet into Eas tern Ore
gon, and from thence without difficulty to
Winnemucca and other points on the U. P.
R. R. It makes accessible to the land hunter
millions of acres of land now under Nature's
lock and key. The wool clip of Eastern
Oregon can find a much quicker and readier
reached market Stock can be driven across
at almost any season of the year, owing to
the lower altitude of this Pass over others.
Yeur correspondent was at the rnmit iu
this pass 3 years ago the past Novei: Wr. and
was surprised on coming out to the valleys
to read of travelers snowed in 0:1 other routes,
almost perishing, and in one or two tustances
compelled to leavs team, wji.ins. etc.ln
the drift behind them, wfcen, on tlroe sums
dates there was hardly suew euough at the
summit on the Miuto surrey in which to in
dent a respectable footprint e hope that
Senator Giover will push this matter through,
and that no purse of the O. S. N. Co. or
other monopoly will influence him to desist
from this meritorious move. We lire in an
era of subornation and purchase of otEeials
in high positions, aud let us hope that no
silver cup" nor Potiphar beauty shrill ia-
flueuce our high official from the interests ft
the State. Crowd this measure, Senator j it
is one of our State's greatest wants.

To t'te Member) of the Hon Companiet, A.
F. D., and the Albany Musical and Liter
ary Society:
This moruinj I was presented with the
sum of $S3, raised by your united efforts at
the benefit last evening, aud in return can
do er say but little else at present than to
return yon my sincere thanks for your yine
ly aid. 1 may never be able to repay you
(or the interest you have taken in the wel
fare of me and mine, but rest assured that
those who have helped me in my extremity
will never be forgotten, and should I ever be
placed in such a position as to be able to ren
der any of you a service, that moment will
bo one of the happiest of my whole life.
Hoping that none of your members may
ever be so unfortunate as to need the help of
irieuds, and in the event that you should,
that you may find many who will be as kind
aud'true to you as mine have been to me, I
retrain,
Vour obedient servant,
