A thunder storm is entirely oat of place
in Oregon, People don t know what to

the time between the flash and thunder, and
as it indicated that the rambling was about
two aad a half miles off, probably breaking

Ia another column we publish the list of
maniages in Linn county for 1883. One
hundred aad seventeen all teld, and several

Multnomah take a back seat, and we feel
proud of it, for it means that there were at
least 117 men, in the oonnty who thought
they might possibly, if something turned
up, be able to support 117 wives, and that is
considerable. Just atop for a moment and
think of what the immensity Qf the love in

would amount to if they were all heaped op.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF MAYOR HILL.
OetUUmen ef the Couneil : In assuming the
sponsibilities of ths office of Mayor of this
oity for the coming year, I think it fitting to
briefly address you.
As we are, with few exceptions, noviciates
in administering to and governing the wel
fare of incorporations of snoh magnitude, it
behooves us to consult freely with those who
have, by their votes, signified a desire for ns
to guard their interest ; and not, nnder any
circumctances, allow our actions to be con
trolled by coltish motives. Many improve
mentc are necessary, but before making any
expensive order we should remember the
ctringenoy of the timec, and the effect that
cuch improvements would have en those who
have them to pay for. As a matter of com
fort, benefit and safety to the oity, the Mar
sbal should be strictly required to se) that
all sidewalks be constructed, 'and kept, ac
prescribed by the ordioanoes. The past ex
perience that the city haa had, in being ar
raigned before the Oeurto for negligence, in
having unsafe cidewalkc, should prompt ns
to greater caution. Tha city haa had two
law-suits on account of the condition of hsr
sidewalks, and one fifteen hundred dollar

dangerous oonditien. The money that was
inexcusably expended la tbeee Instaasss
would have been sufficient to put a scooad
steam Are engine In the hands of oar f rem en
a part ei your mission is the election or a
nlgbt police force, to serve fer twelve months,
or till your successors are sleeted. There
will doubtless be many candid a tec offering
their services, aad while each applicant will
be treated with the courtesy dac every oil!
md, yen will please pardon ms for suggest
ing, that ia making Ibe ecleetlon, if yoa are
not already acquainted with the qualiflea
tiono ef the different candidates, you should
take lime cuffloent te acquaint yourselves,
and in addition to the usually required qual
ifications of pelioemsa, you should elect no
one that the merchants and other business
men ef the oity, would refuse credit to for
while pevcrty never debars a man, in gener
ous Oregon, from tha leaicaoy necessary for
present want, when known honesty presents
itself as hie security j either penury or afflu
ence, when encumbered with dishonest v. is
below par. And it would be passingly
strange if those wheeteoted this oounoil would
be satis fled should you put men to guard their
property at midnight, while the owner
sleeps, thai he would be unwilling to trust
in their hands at mid-day, while be is awake.
It ia not right for us to require more of our
own oitixvns than we do of these who come
to dwell with as, aad who demand onr pro
tection ; end to thsl end we should require
more ef Ihs Chinees population than we do.
If sny oitiaea cbould think, for a moment,
of allowing bis basiaces home to emit a font
odor that would atiflc the passerby, his bouse
weald be closed as s public nuisance. It ia
sometimes almoet impossible to pass the
Chinese stores aad wash-houses without be
ing suffocated with the fames of opium and
the eshalatioas from their peculiar ediblce.
While they live in our country and our eity
we should require them to conform to our
mice ef decency. Their mode of living is
suffloient to breed a contagious pestilence to
sweep the town ; aad we have been placed
in power, not to ereot a moaument of "dead
men's bonce," but tol to the hesltb, as
Welles wealth, ef our eitiseea.
It looks bad, iodeed, to see the front of
many basiaeea houses defaced with lawyer's
aad doctor's eigne, bnt snob must be the ease
ia aay oity that ia negligent with its streets
and walks, and that tolerates the eeed of
diseccc te be pltnied and foetered in itc
center. VTe were not elected telle dormant; 1
IsSSOS, we must move ; but in doing so we
must remember that we are moving on the
domain of ethers, and ooaducting our brok-
on other men's capital. Daring our
official career wa cannot avoid impinging
upon the feelings ef some, but by prudential
reasoning we need not materially imfnoge
upon their righto. As they, have repoced eo
ssasa confidence ia us. we choutd not fail to
honor their judgment.
Onr fire department, in drill, discipline
and activity, is seoenJ to none ia the etate,
Albany should, and- does, feel Justly
preud of her boys who volunteer their labor
and skill to cave the city from the Usance.
We muct not forget that each aad every fire
man, ao difference hew bumble, is s special
pottoe against incendiarism, aad his only
reward for hie arduous and soms times dan
gorous cervioee, is ths polite bow aad hearty
shake of the hand we are pleescd to offer.
More than paasing notice should be exteaded
te those ladies who thoughtfully uigcaissd
themselves into a band ef workers, --on ths
rreaoe ef fire, te furnish hot coffee aad
good cheer to those who are toiling at the en
gine. No night cince their organisation, haa
been too dark or stormy to deter them from
their purpose, aad no act of oars, as city
aboald be each that
will not be proud of.
By an oversight, the eity coseented to the
toying of water pipes through her streets,
without exacting in return the use of the
water for city purposes. By this lesson we
Shoalil profit, and when an individual, or
corporation, ta the future, asks the city's
franchise, we cbould duly consider whether
we should be liberal and give, or thrifty aad
sell. There is probably no ether eity of equel
population in the slate that haa fewer drunk-
oo its streets, which speaks well for
our outgoing officers, aad well for these
Who conduct drinking places. We must
that we are too diminutive
weak a body to amah the liquor traffic, while
those in higher power endoise it j aad for
this reason it behooves us to survey well the
situation compare the present with the
pact of oar city's morale. A tow year ago
Albany waa ever-run with little one-herse
whisky shops, midnight brawls, aud thieves,
both behind aad in front of the bar. All
that was necessary for the migratory
niok-Docket to do was to reat a stall and
get s jog ef whiskey, aad be forthwith an
noanoed himself one of Albany's h acinose
men. To-day the saloon-keepers of Albany,
without exception, are reeponsiblc fer their
contractu and straight in their dealings.
Boats of them are owners of realty, and
their interest in ths eiSies wolf are is eo-
equal with our own ; hence, as we are oom
polled to accept of this traftlJ
I think it
stands us in hand to retain the present
keepers, for in my judgment, ahoujd we
trade them for others the oity wonld be
badly cheated.
With the preeeut and prospective educe
tional advantages, and high aosial, moral,
and religious privileges, tncre is no reason
why Aloany should not be sought by the
continuous immigration as a desirable place
for their future abode. And If we look well

our oity with their produce, will be accept

Willamette Valley eutcide of the metropolis,
can boast of larger or better cteokc ef goods ;
and oar merchants are inviting, and receiv
ing, cos torn from far aad near, by offering
their effects at the minimum price. Our mills
and fonndriea are substantial advertisements
abroad, aad the Santiam canal announces
tha future prosperity of Albany to all be

natural and aoquirod.that Albany poeeeeaes.
we should prepare ourselves to enjoy these
