DeVanej Una ( uanl) Tbo article which we shall publish descriptive of Linu county and ita re sources will be one whose main object is te represent the advantages of the county and cities and villages in the county, for homes, business, etc. We shall not attempt to describe the busi ness men, but In connection with each branch of trade shall show by whom the different localities are represented merely in order to exhibit the x ten t of that particular business . The number will show the resources of the county and the plaeoa within it. As the dif ferent parts of the county wiU be writ ton up by men in such parts, it may be depended that it will be done fairly, and thathalf will not be left out. Less has been dene towards advertising the re sources of this leading county than perhaps any in the state, so that it be hoves the citizens of the whole county to lend their mite by purchasing and sending at least fifteen or twenty-Are copies each to friends all over the East. Inorderto know how many to print, we would request the orders at an early date, for the issue will appear in two or throe weeks. Those desiring can have the papers mailed for them by sending the names, and the extra amount for postage. We shall pal the price as low as we can afford, 7 copies 50c; 15 for SI ; 25 for $1 .50 or 50 for $2.50. We put the price down in order to insure a large circulation of this particular issue. A Decade. Lookin t at a file of the Democrat of just ten years ago, January 2, 1874. we glean some foots which may be of inter est to many. Hon E N Tandy was te County Judge, while the name of George Helm was signed to most of the legal notices. Amoag the business mea wno advertised were Blain, Young A Co., P C Harper A Co., D W hitelaw A Co., furni ture dealers, W Weed, Beehive Store, R Cheadle, Peters fc dpeidel, John Vchaaeer, bakery, Montgomery Gore, R C Hill Son, druggists, W H Mendenhall, City Meat Market, Titos, Bougardus A Co., Wyatt A Clarke, etc., none of whom are here now in the same capacity, although several are doing business here under a different head. Allen Parker was then sheriff of the county. Among the Demo crat's agents who were then receiving compliments for favors were O P Coshow of Brownsville, and Sam May, of Harris burg, and. since then, they have stood by the Democrat through thick and thia, aa they are doing to-day. Capt Jas Shields was the efficient County Treasurer. "Our yeung friend" Ike Conn, is spoken of as having just married and Loo Fox was just starting for Germany. As the Demo crat office had just been burned out, the issue was on a half shell. A Clea Call- Last weeek Bud Johnson, J W Marks and two others were bringing a raft of logs down the Willamette worth three or four hundred dollars, and had reach ed the Centennial shoot when they met with an accident which undid the labor of weeks. The water at that place is yery swift, so swift at this time that it diew the logs under and turned the whole raft over, two or three times, the four men in seme manner clinging to the edges, all of them coining within an ace of being drowned, but fortunate ly, almost miraculously, succeeded in getting out, in a very exhausted con dition. The legs were drawn under the shoot in such a manner that they could not begotten out, and probably will not be, go that they are a total loss to the young men. They have about 120,000 feet more up the Wiliamette, and pro pose to get them down, "sink or swim, live or die," and we hope they will. . r. c. A. Tiie 1'PCA on last Sunday afternoon adjourned sine dl, after an uninterrupt ed existence of seven or eight years. It was the only successful association of the kind in the state outside of Port land, and has seen many bright days. It is the intention of reviving it again, but at what time is not known. It has bad for its members at different times many of the prominent men and wo men of Albany, the moving spirits of which have moved away. In its pres ent death is seen strikingly the illus tration of the ship without a rud der. It had no president, no secretary, no ene to lead in singing. A society to be strong needs a master spirit in it This has had none lately, and its mem bers thought best to discontinue its meetings, which they do, leaving be hind it a good record, and its debts pa id.

Several Albany people have land at Ya- quina Bay. and already the price of some has been doubled. New Taooma has a balance of $4590.62, ia her treasury, Astoria, of $13,094.37. and Albany of $00000.00. Dick Tucker of AumsvUle has no thumb oa one of his hands. He was not born so. A gun did it a few days ago. A boy at Soda Springs has been named Napoleon Bonaparte, on account of his legs being the bona part of him. One half of the good resolutions of Jan. I, have already been bi oken, particularly the ene to pay tke printer before the 4th. During 1S83 there were more marriages in October in Lane county than anv other month, eleven beiug the most. Rev P C Hetxler, the State Biblo agent, will preach at the Evangelical church next Sunday morning at the regular hour. Several Albany boys who went to the Bay to work hays returned, not finding work to do. It is not always gold that gutters. The political pot will soon begin to boil, and it might be well for voters to get their ladles made to keep it from running over. Too much water the past week compelled the mills to shut down. The cold snap, though lowered the river to its uaual dimen sions. New Year's calls were made quite ex ten . siveljr in this city Jaaaary 1st, fnlly six going the rounds of the half doxsn who re ceived. A third of the popalatioo of Linn county is in Albany, Harrisburg, Brownsville, Scio, Halsey and Lebanon, as nearly as we can reckon. Nathan Cole, of Portland, has gene East.

The supper given at Grange Hall New Year', sight by the ladies' of the Congrega tional church was well patronized, and was an interesting affair.

The Y P C A Hall has been given up by tke association to the owner, and there is no reason now why it shonid net be made a public hall. The location is the best in the city.

One lady in this city has a class of 40 scholars in S S, which filled her hands full on Christmas. We understand her scholars are quite indignant at a proposition mads to divide the class, which numbers nearly half of the school. It would be funny if that lady who seemed to pay so much attention te a rich old bach elor at a church sociable lately should sue eeed in breaking his stony heat and taking him in out of the cold. The New Years Oregonian is a fine paper, being complete in its statistical and descrip tiye information, showing in plain figure, the progress of the Northwest.

Two young men of this city have resolved to stop using tobacco. The one who smokes or chews first is to buy the ether s $40 suit of clothes. Our name is net Wiggins but we predict that some lonesome day they will take a puff at the same time. The Yaquiua Bay Pott is becoming fearless in its assertions, but it speaks the truth when it ssys that the Port is "the liveliest, widest awake, newsiest, most independent, spiciest, solidost, breesiest and reliableat newspaper ever printed on Yaijuina Bay, Or." A couple years ago a bridge mooting was held in this city, when it was voted to giye e v. i . n. b. eu.uuu towards the con struction of one across the Willamette at this place.

We leave the holiday advertisements in the DxatOL-aAl this week in order to take a holiday ourselves. Next week we shall give) full amount of reading matter, and shall make a greater effort than ever to giva our readers all the county news it is possible to obtain and make the Democrat as it has been a representative paper of one of the best counties in the state. There are 68 ministers of the M E Church in the Oregon Conference, 75 churches, 4936 members, 90 Sunday school, and 5036 scholars. The value of the eburcke amounts to $277,250.

Wednesday morning the train from Leb anon ran off the track at the junction of the main track and the Lebanon branch, the engine, tender and one car running all wheels off, the .witch having been left turned. At noon both expresses, and a freight train were all hnddled together, aud it was not until sometime that all were on their way again. The dday was the greatest damage. Several gentlemen were recently discus- ing as to whether the hoodlums or boolum- M of Albany Were the worst, and inci dents were given to prove both. We were considerably surprised at several told about the latter. Both sides of the question prov ed their points so well as te conyince us that there are many parents in this city who might do well to put a bridle on their chil dren, and in nurnot-ou-t eases, it is just where the parents are being fooled the most. Some one asked us what we thought of Coer D'Alene. It is a hard question to an swer, from our knowledge of it, but we cer tainly have only a small amount of confidence in it, and believe that there will bo more sunk in it than will ever be taken out. As the proof of the pudding is the eating there ill be plenty to prefer that way of finding out, and already several hotels snd numer ous saloons have been put up. Did any scientific physician know the formula from which Ammen's Cough Syrup is prepared, he would net only reccommend, but prescribe it te his patients troubled with a cough or cold, or any disease of the throat apd lungs.

A teacher in our public schools once, by mistake called a little girl by the name of another little girl, whom the former little girl and her parent, particularly disliked- As the story goes this mado the parents mad, and they gave the teacher a genuine scolding, and we are not certain, but think they took their little girl from school . Peo ple shoald learn to overlook such trifles, and should not pay too much attention to every idle tale a child carries home. oouplo of hoodlumes who were outting up at the Court House at the Union meeting last Sunday uigbt found out in a yery em phatio manner that that was no place fer carrying on their hoodlumism practices. They were taken bj a oouple ef gentlemen te the .tags, where they were given a seat in the face of the whole congregation, much to their shams. I c was the greatest punish ment that could have boon given them. Both were old enough to know how to be h.ve themselves. We have Just ascertained how 0 rant's Pas. in Southern Oregon got it. name. Aa it was in a curious sort of a manner we pub lish tho origin of it.

Grant picked np his cards and had the right bower, aoe and king. Me conuluded to pass, thinking he could euahre his opponent, a burly miner. The result was that be lost his dollar, and the place was called "(J rant's Paso." Those who receive charitable presents should not complain at the amount of butter on their bread, A little boy with a drunk en father was reoently given a new suit of olothes, but the pockets were not in the right place, and the peats did not suit him, nor the coat, and he wanted a eoetlior outfit. This is as bed a case s. that of the woman in thi. city who was aeut aome'C sugar, which he returned with the announcement that he was not that kind of a poor person, and at austher time returned some meat because it was not porter house atoak. Naturally enough oue has little sympathy for that olsss of people for they do not deserve helping.
