By reference to our advertising columns it
will be seen that the Board of Svhool Diroo-
tora of this district have called a meeting of
the legal vott n to take actiou npon the ques
tion of levying a special tax for the maiuten
auce of free schools. At tho same titne the
question will be considered of enlarging the
present school buildings or selling them and
erecting others. These questions are of great
moment and the attendance at the meeting
should be large. It is an acknowledged fact
that our schools now rank hither than ever
before, but at the same time the buildings
are perfectly iuadennale to accommodate
those wishing to attend, and more room most
be provided. This will take money. The
question then which the people must decide
i will we have free schools? if this ques
tion is decidrd i'i the ailirntatite, more school
room must lw provided, or the sebuols al
lowed to de-ueratc into w hat they were ten
or tiftecn yers ain. All those iutetrsted in
these questions should at once oimti'Hve in
vestigating the matter so that they may be
able to speak intelliKcutly opoo the subject
at the meeting to lie held at the Cuart liuase
on Monday evening. March 1st, at 7 o'clock.
Oa M.mday, March Sh. an election for
one school dirt-tor and a clcrfe i.' be leld

For about a month cut the jMmof.-ii has
had a "corteet(?l report of the markers np to
noon yesterday, and persistently qnuted
wheat at $1 a bushel, when at no time during;
the last month has it reached a higher pvice
than 93 cents, and for three weeks has not
been above $5 cents. llr.-a'J.
We are extremely proud of the fact that
Albany has one very observant individual
who is so well posted in every th'ng that be
can correct us whenever we make an error,
and judging from appearances he is very will
ing to do so. In fact, after read-ng the above
we arrived at the conclusion that be was alto
gether too willing. When we placed that
item in our columns relating to tbe price of
wheat it was correct, rnd it is so yet We
know of several thousand basheht of wheat
having been sold dur'ng the past three weeks
at SI ir bushel and only Lutt week, at just
about the time probably that the If fro! J ed
itor w rote hLs "cortection," S. E. Young sold
a lot at that price. Sill w e are glad that
our sponsor came foi ward promptly w hen be
thought we were in error; it shows that be is
interested in the we' fare of our readers. "

When Dr. Simma delivered his last lecture
here he invited qni'a a, xiiaber oT, yoong
people up on the stage and then "paired"
them off according to the roles- which he
thinks should goTtra. marriage. The young
men he had np there were of all aorta; the
wrinkles oa their foreheads ran in every con
ceivable direction; some of their noses indi
cated great penetration, while others kicked
like they had been battered in the priieriog;
some cb;na pro traded worse than that of
Ditty Nick" which stared at them from
among the pictures on the wall,' while others
bad dimples in them equal to a gopher hole;
their walk vsi of every 'Herfptiou some
woold glide like a zephyr, ethers would am
ble along over the floor in a manner that
would outdo the miMe antics of a saw-horse,
while others had worn off their boot heels
behind until their toes turned bV like s
Turk's; in fact almost every feature described
by the learned Doctor as indicating tbe dif
ferent mental and moral traits of a person's
character were here thrown promiscuously
together on the stage, and, strange as it may
seem, when tbe young men were asked if
they knew ef any reason 'why thcjT ahonld
net be immediately joined in the "holy bands
of padlock' to the persona with whom they
had been paired, they all with one voice an
swered "ne." Although so many different
temperaments " were congregated there, all
were of the same op-'nion on that subject. In
this case "Barkis was willing" but it being
leap year the female IUrkiitesJida't econd
the motion.
The Ladle' Aid Society gave anot!er of
their popular festivals last Wednesday
evening, and also spread a two-bit lunch
yesterday. It wan not yet known exactly
what the receipts bad been when we went
to presa, but it la very probable that they
have netted folly 100. The table looked
magnificent atul were loaded down with
good tfclngs,and tbe ladies spared no pains
to attend to the wants of all tbe giiols.
We hope they may give many more featl
vals, and feel aure that alL will meet with
fully as much aucceas as the one on
Wednesday evening. The'r cause is a
good one and oar citizens a re 'always will
n: to help them. ' '

A Tee Asapwlaled. ',
A young man named Morgan bad bis feet
frozen so badly during the late cold snap in
Eastern Oregon that be had to have the first
joint of one of bis great toes taken off. .The
amputation was nnskillfully performed, and
when he arrived here last week the end of
the bone was protruding through the flesh.
He consulted Dr. Hill, and that physician
concluded that the only way to treat it was
to take off the toe at the second joint, and
the operation was successfully performed last
Monday.
A Merleas rail.
Last Monday morn'ng the wife of Rev.

The Temperance Alliance.
The ktate Temperance Alliance r,i at
Eugene on Wednesday of last week, and re
mained in session until Friday evening. The
attendance delegates was very good, there
being over two hundred re ported by tho com
mittee and the meetings were interesting.
; The following officers were elected i Pres
ident, J. Y. Watts; Vice Presidents, TV J.
WHaon.'N'. B. Humphrey and Mrs. Kato
MoCluug: Sue, J, K. Houston; Asa'tMco., A
W, Eowerj Corresponding Sec,; F R. Skip

J. K. Atterbary; F.xecutiva Com., B.
F. iHirris, Thomas Condon, Isaiah Hurt, I
M. Davis and J. J. Walton.
A new constitution was adopted, and tho
next matter of importance was the passage of
the following resolutions:
Be it rrnolml, that this Alliance reenm.
tend to the tax -payers of the respective coin
tittees, tho formation iu each county, as a
matter of economy, a Tax-payers Protection
Association with a view to tbe collection of
the necessary funds, and the payment of
such rewards for the arrest and conviction of
persons guilty of violating the laws regulat
ing tbe sale of spirituous liquors, etc, as
shall render such arrest and conviction cor
tain to follow a violation thereof.
I That while we are not at preseut In favor
of organising a prohibition party, we believe
it to be the important duty of our temperance
workers to se their political intluenoo in the
cause of temperance, n
The third resolution was iu substance that
no tetuiterance man should vote for a drinker,
or one who will not pledge himself to do all
in his power to advance that cause.
On motion of Dr. Geary, the President was
authorized to appoint, at a titne optional with
him, a committee of Qvo to meet aud confer
with other committees aud present the de
mands of the temperance cause to the Legis
lature of Oregon, -
' Mrs. IhiDtiiwsy was on baud and as usual
had her woman suffrage resolution iutro
duood, which after being debated was indefi
nitely postponed.
' Portland was chosen as tho place of hold
ing tho next annual meeting of the Alliance.
This we believe is about all that was accom
plished by the Alliance.
The delegates from this city are loud in
their praises of the hospitality of the eiticus
of Eugene, saying that they were never in a
cesttiuaaity which paid so much attention to
tbe welfare of iU guests.
Halew Water rower. -
Front a late issue of the Tclnji-ntn we learn
that tho city of Salem is about to luse its
water power, derived from a diU-h tapping
the North Saulism at Stay ton. During the
past winter the Hantiam river at the point
where it was tapped by tbe ditch has so
changed its cli.-mc, that it is now some dis
tance beyond the head of the ditch and thirty
feet lower. It shifted over into a iav:ne and
piled aand and boulders into its former bed.
making a high embankment between the
river ami ditch, thereby cutting off the sup
ply. In a short time aml-a soon as the sur
face water runs off, tbe dozen of (louring
mills, sash factories, etc., tbe mill machinery
at tbe penitentiary, and in fact nearly all the
manufacturing interests through that tmrtion
of middle Oregon, will come to a stand still
A ditath at least iifty fect in depth w ill lie
necessary to draw a supply from the Santiam,
and most be dug through sand, bouldet and
solid rock at great expense and hard labor.
From indications it will have to be substan.
tially wallod in to prevent waabing out and
caving in ot the banks. Water must le
taken from that stream to supply power
along Mi'l Creek, no matter w hat tho cct
may be or the amonut of labor necessary to
complete the same. The mill property along
the banks of the stream, which is valued at
several nvUions of dollars, would bo uclcts
almost, without water power. As soon as
tbe surface water is exhausted and the shoals
and bed of tbe stream begin U put i an ap
pearance above the surfaoe of the sluggith
water, there will lo a tusl'ing among mill
owners along its banks.
In the meantime Allaiiy's fmi iu water
power is as good as ever, in fact lw-tter. It
now propria about sixteen turbine wheels,
ami this number w ill be doubled iu very
few years. There is bo chance for the cupply
ever giving est, and it can lie iiu-rra-d to
any amount dwitred at a slight cost. Albany
is the best location in Oregon fur manufacto
ries of any kind.

Ouo day but week our city was ch ctiiliid
by seeing an item in the Portland papers an
nouncing tliat L- C. lhckey, sheriff of this
county, had been arrested iu that city on a'
charge of adultery made 1y one Gofoilh, but
a'l who knew him felt sure that tbe charge
was groundless. Those who knew (loforth
at ouce set the matter down as on attempt
by him to extort money frmi Mr. Dickey,
and tbe sctjucJ shows that tbi-y were correct
in their surmises. The folloaing from the
Portland Trk'jram shows tbe matter up ia
the right light and lets us know what the
people down there think of the rase :
Tbe crowd and tumult of yesterday was
repeated to-day in the police court, the
habitues being vUibly duapoiiited in the
turn of affairs, which cheated them out of n
sweet sensatioual morsel. Th r-cctM
public will however be nleawd to learn that
a Kentleman has escaped the mehes of a dark
conspiracy which a low villain bad concocted
w ruin mm. ror a lime nis position was one
of extreme peril, but all will rejoice tbat be
has come out of the onleal without a blemish. I
When the case of the State of Oregon vs. I. I
C. Dickey was ca"cd, Distiict Attorney
tapirs explained to tbe Court that a subpuua
ba.1 been served but evening upon the i.roe-
cuttmj witness Gof.tli. who tmrsistcntly re-
the charge was sn outrage iu the first place.
.. . 11 .....
but in the interest of justice, as welt as for
the good name of Mr. Dickey, be was com
pelled to bring suit He was convinced now
that Gofortb was a tonondrel, and deserving
of tbe penitentiary, and be would do bis very
utmost to send bun there, and he was sure
he would succeed. He retiueoted His Honor
to tune aa attachment for contempt against
him nil apimtl favorably considered by tbe
Court. Referring to tbe ca-j. Judge Steam
said he was coo v need in his mind that Go-
forth was a rascal, a blackmailer, bad con-
doned with his w-te, had traded or endeav
ored to trade ujwn her honor and virtue.
For such persons be had no symttathy, and
as tbe law had been coinnlied with, and tbe
defendant appeared ready f.ir trial on the;
three occaslous upon which he was ca''ed, he
felt it bis duty iu the alswnce of the witness
to discharge Mr. I tickey from further attend
ance. This mtleman was warmly congrata-
lated by bis friends who felt a'l tbe time be
was the victim of a rntliauly plot. The olli
cers are now on the track of Gofortb, who
will be tried on separate cliarges if arretted.
I-ATK8 Goforth was afterwards a.iewtcd
ami taken before the police ju Jg on a charge
ot contempt oi court. lie plead guilty and
was lined to tbe fullest extent of tbe law
