' Aa lafaasaas Trick.
Some dastardly wretch in tuts city evi
dently has a spite against Oregon's famous
horseman, V. C. Myer, and to gratify their
thirst for revenge has twioe this spring tried
to poison his beautiful horses. Some time
last April the "Pride of Parch" was poisoned
with arsenic while at Marshal's stable, but
good treatment brought him oat all right in
a few days. A little over two weeks ago
White Prince was poisoned in the same st ay
and while . occupying the same atal. As
the apartment which he occupies is locked
every night, it is thought the poison was ad
ministered by being pat through a couple of
cracks in the beards jast over the feed box.
This horse has also entirely recovered from
the effects of the poison, but for several days
his chances for life were rather slim. We
can't find words mean enough in oar rocal
a burly to express the contempt we feel for a
man who could act so inhumanly. It would
be a god-send to the community if ha were
to accidentally take some ot his own poi-
tee tag the Sights.
A letter was received in this city from
Bob Foster a few days ago, dated ea the 17th
alt at London. He had jast finished up
seeing the sights in that little burg, and his
letter contained glowing descriptions of
West minister Abbey, the Tower, St, Paul's
Cathedral. London Bridge, etc He says
Queen Victoria has already expressed a will
ingness to take the Democrat, but she
didn't have any change ia her pocket when
he "bammed" her to subscribe. We have
always got to know a person's standing in
society before wo will let them hare the pa
per "on tick."

Saturday, June 1st The price of tickets

As a ill be seen by the table the game was
one-sided. Tbe Jefierson boys are as stent
and s;tive as any set of fellows we have ever
seen, and have the material for a good club,
but they lack the practice. They really did
not expect to win the game, and enly wanted
to play tite match for the purpose of gettiag
instruction. Oar boys played as well' as
t's-:.l, and fully sustained their reputation as

Kit realm, rente Sermon,
Prof. L. J. Powell, of the Alliany Collegi
ate Institute, this week extended an invita-
, to Rev. W. B. Floyd to deliver the bae-
" " , ,
week, and we understand the reverend gen
tleman has accepted the invitation. The ser
mon will be delivered on Sabbath, Juue 9tb,
and as the time and place has not been defi
nitely settled, we would suggest that it be at
the Court House, and ia the evening, so that
all can have an opportunity ef heat ing it. It
will be remembered that Rev. Floyd is the
flew minister who has just arrived from the
East to till the vacancy in tbe pulpit of the
Calvary Society, occasioned by the resigna
tion of Rev. Howard W. Strttttou,
A CeanpUnsent.
J. J. Yaleutiue, General Superintendent
of the affairs of Wells, Fargo & Cos. Ex
press on this Coast, was in our city last Eri
day. He is making a tonr of the State in.
spec ting the business of the various express
offices, and we are glad to be able to state
that he found everything "ship-shape" at
the Albany office, aud complimented Mr.
Wyatt very highly for the perfect way m
which he and his clerks conducted the busi
es. Before going away he took a carriage
aud went over our city, aud he gives it as
his opinion that Albany displays a greater
degree of thrif t than any other city which he
has visited on this tour.
Boauad Aver..
Abraham Gadaway, who was , arrested a
few days ago at The Dalles, was brought
back to this city by Sheriff Herru and y ester
day had his preliminary trial before Justice
Wolverton. He had a jury trial and was
defended by Conley & Montaye and prosecut
ed by Humphrey & Bilyeu. After a short
deliberation the jury brought in a verdict of
iruiltv and Judire Wolverton bound him
over to await action of the grand jury, plac
ing his bonds at $1,000. That amount of
money is scarce in this county and he will be
very apt to lie in jail until next October.
The Santlam Bridge.
Miller & Son, who have the contract for
building the Santiatn bridge, arc rushing
their work along fast. They brought their
engine and pile-driving machinery to this city
during the past week, and on i'riday trans
ported it to the site of the bridge. It
weighs about four tons, and for the purpose
of transporting it they bought an extra large
sized wagon out in the country a short dis
ta nee, and then had no farther trouble.
THE OITLOOK,
The seeding la about done in this sec
tion, ami the prosfiact bids fair for
good crop; the weather has been very
favorable to that tbe farmer, bare got
tlieir grain sown iu good shape. Of
course tbis information is not new to
the most of us, but is gratifying all tbe
fiauie, or at least ought to be, for as this
Li tt farming country everything defends
upon the prosperity and success of the
farmer; he is as it were the foundation
stone upon which everything rests; bow
necessary is it then that he should sue
ceed, for if he does not, every class and
every rson suffers ; the farmer builds
tip towns and cities in oar, midst in
fact everything depends u(on him; ev
erything that comes into our locality
has the expense of tran-tftortatiun added
to it, aud as a natural consequence the
farmer has it to jry bow is it with
products that is shipped out I
Every bushel of grain or produce of
any kind sent from here has to hare the
freight denlnctej from the farmer, cat.s-
ing a direct loss of thousands of dollars
to this country every year, and yet the
ful-niers seem to be perfectly satisfied
with this arrangement so much so that
they are totally indifferent on tbe aub-
joct of a narrow guage railroad to Al
bany to connect with the river, and thas
take off the sharp edge of this knife of
a mouopoly that cuts on both edges
that adds high freight on every pound
of merchandise brought up here, and
cuts off considerable from every bushel
of produce sent to the markets of the
world. It does seem to ns that every
candid thinking man must admit that
the farmer will really be benefitted more
by this road than any other class in the
community, and yet hey seem the most
indifferent of any of our citixena on this
question.
Look at tbe history of the road al
ready in operation: Lands along the
line of that road have advanced from 75
to 100 per cent, in value, from the di
net cause of that road beinz built 1
Now supiiose, for instance, tl the Al
bany &. Brownsville railroad is con
atructed, and the landn advance only 20
per cent. a very low estimate we
could easily see what the fanatfrs along
the line would gui:t by helping it atlong.
SupKtse a man's farm is worth now,
$5,000; 30 per cent, of that would be
$1,000; could not that man well afford
to subscribe for stock iu this rtad to
the amount of $500 for the sake of en
hancing h is land 8 1 ,000 1 Where is the
farmer that lives near the line of this
road but what could do something to
wards helping it along! It is not nec
essary for all to subscribe money; work
is just as good, and now that seeding is
over many yes, nearly all could put
on teams to plow, scrape, haul ties, or
do teaming of some kind to help this
grand project along. It is estimated
that from $20,000 to $25,000 will get
the road bed ready for tbe iron, and as
soon as this is done the company can
(by mortgaging the road-bed) borrow
all the money necessary to finish and
equip the road at 5 or 6 per cent.
What is $25,000 to the people along
this whole line of road, compared to the
immediate benefits to be derived from
it? The saving in hauling, freights and
storage would amount to nearly tbat
sum the first year! In the fall when
tbe days are short it is a long distance
to haul grain to the other read to pay
monopoly rates upon, while an this
road tbe farmers could join together
and build warehouses, and store their
own grain, and whenever the price suit
ed them they could send it to town asy
day, which is more than they have ever
been able to do on the present road.
little help from every one along the
road and it could be built immediately
then would steam mills go up into the
great lumbering regions of. the Upper
Calipooia, causing that rich section that
now lies dormant to enrich tbis whole
country by its magnificent timber, sec
ond to none on this coast !
Freights and goods would be cheaper,
farms and property would be increased
in value, population and capital would
come here in fact, if this road is built,
it is hard telling now what tbe future
of Linn county would be. BrowntvilU

CatANB MEET1YC
The Democrats and Independents of
Multnomah county held a grand ratifi
cation meeting at Portland last Thurs
day night. The Oregonian and Stand
ard both state that it was the largest
political meeting tbat bas been held for
years in that city. Stirring speeches
were made by Col. Kelly, J. B. Congle,
Judge Page, and others, and the utmost
enthusiasm pervaded the meeting.
CITTIXt HIS OWX THBOAT.
The fact about the Republican candi
date for Sheriff spending so much mon
ey in Albany to secure bis election is
spreading rapidly throughout tbe county
and will have the effect to secure for
Dickey at least 100 Republican votes,
whUe George's money cannot procure
for himself over 50. - You are cutting
your own throat, George.
TEHI HIST COME TV THE FB0ST.
The llepublicansof Linn are very much
depressed because the Greenback tn. Vj-
meut doesn't draw so heavily from the
Democrats as they expected it would.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Rad
ical organ of this county as well as the
Radical canvassers in the field, have
been patting the Qreenbackws en the
back in the hope that the movement
ould divide and deplete the Demo
cratic ranks and destroy our majority
in the county, it is now discovered that
there is about as many, if not more,
Republicans in the movement an Dem
ocrats, and thus the scheming einmy is
hoist by their own petard." It is
much to thft credit of the Demcicrata in
that movement that tlW . not pro
poso to be gata sniped and hoodwinked
as they were in the Petor Cooper Atrco
of 1876; but that they will see that the
Republicans who have promised to be
with them in this cause shall fairly and
honestly show their bauds on election
day. They will permit no tricks or
do.ible-Jealing to be practiced tiptn
ietn this time, but will iusi.it that ti e
Radicals who hare entered into lb a
covenant with tbetn shall act ou the
square and in good faith.

very aptly disposes of them in these
brief words :
It sseears that all the stiffi. dot beats. ru-rh.
bloat and bilk, of tbe tedfie Coast have gathered at
Pendleton ef late."
We learn that these "dliff-s dead
beats, bloats and bilks" are to infect
Albany with their foul presence before
the election is over, hence we want our
people to understand what sort of char
acters they are and avoid them as they
would any other pestilential vermin.

That slippery little ground-hog, Jess

there was something Ilippleish about

ELECTIOS tAW.
It must be remembered tbat a person
entitled to vote at an election must
have been in the State six months, and
in the county thire months, and that if
he moves into any precinct even the
same day of the election he is entitled
to vote there, ibe impression seems
to have gut out tbat a person must have
been a resident nf the precinct iu which
he wishes to Vote thirty days, but tliis
is wrong. AH that is required is that
he shall be an actual resident of that
trecjnet, and that he must have resided
in tbat county three months, and in
the State six months.
