were united in marriage at the Presbyterian
church, in this eity. The services were con

Rev S G Irvine. Beaotif.il flowers neatly
and tauily arranged, made the place of
marriage very attractive, fit emblems of the

soms and veil, and received deserved com
pliments for her tine appearance. Mrs Mag-

Messrs. James Charlton, Walter Turrell, O

The Laws of Oregon, Cnapter LXI, Sec
tions 1 to 6, provide for the destruction or
the dagger cockle burr, generally known
aa the Canada thistle, on the public roads
of the county. That law makes it the
duty of the Supervisor to attend to the
matter, in such manner as te him shall
seem meet effective, and he may call out
public laborers to do it. Any Supervisor
neglecting to do his duty under this Isw
is liable to a tine of not more than twenty
five ner lees than five dollars, to be re
covered for the use of the county by any
Justice of the Peace. The law also makes
it incumbent on the owner of land to
destroy these thistles, and gives tOe Su
pervisor power to coss pel him to. If he
refuses to after being duly notified by the
Supervisor or any other person, then the
Supervisor may cause the weed to be de
stroyed at the expense of the owner.wh'cb
may be recovered by suit in the name of
the county. The city authorities also may
be compelled to remove these weeds, a
failure to do which renders the city liable
to a fine of not less than fifty nor more
than five hundred dollars.
Considerable complaint is made through
the county of the prevalence of these
noxious weeds, and in several places, we
aie informed, there will bo snits
brought If the matter la not attended to.
Now is the time to do it, and the impor
tance of attending to it cannot be too
strongly urged. The law is plain, and
Supervisor should beware.

The first of the week we received the fol
lowing extra from the Dlsmminmtot of Har
rsburg :
Monday, July 21st, 18S4.
Broken with unspeakable grief, we send
this brief message to our patrons to account
for the noo appearance of the paper this
week. For a lew months over sixteen years
our pathway has been brightened by the
most amiable,dutifal and affectionate daugh
ter that ever lived ; to-day death claimed
her,and the sun has lost its brilliancy for the
rest of pur earthly journey. Tears bide the
letters as we record : "Died Monday, July
21st, 1884, at 1:30 p. m., Minnie O. Train,
only daughter of S. S. and M. J. Train, aged
16 years, 5 months si d 1 days."
Mr aad Mrs Train bare the universal
sympathy of all in this terrible affliction, the
extent of which only a parent can appreciate.
They have lost sn accomplished, loving
daughter, the memory of whom not even a
life time ean efface.
Will Kaaptojr Indians.
The Albany Dbmocbat in a recent issue
said that it bid been informed that Lane
county bop grower were going to employ
Chinamen this year instead of white per
sons and Indians. That is a miatake. Our
neighbor of the Dem .okvt it no better in
formed on that subject than be is on tbe
Presidential campaign. The bop growers
of this county will, they toll m, employ
whitesand Indian", a they always have
doae. Indians are tbe best pickers there
are. They are preferred because they will
worn light along tbe seasou through, and
not want to unit as eooo a tbev have
earned a dollar or two. Hop growing is
one of Lane county's mot important in
terests, and employment is fumithftd for
a large number of laborers during that
season. Cor. "Oregon mn."
Our information was good on tbe above
subject, but we only stated that tbey were
talking of having Chinamen ; and we are
told that it is a fact that a meeting was ap
pointed for the purpose ef considering tbe
advisability of hiring Chinamen. We are
glad to know that it waa decided not to,
although Chinamen would do it for three
bits a box, whereas Indians and white
people ask fifty cents.

On the Ill-fated Florida.
By a letter received by J W Blain, ou
last Monday it was learned for tbe first
time that among the passengers who
went down with the ill-fated Florida, In
mid ocean, in the Atlantic, about two
months ago, was John Hutchinson, once
of Albany. Most of our readers knew
the terrible particulars of the affair.
Mr Hutchinson was well known in Al
bany as a man of most exemplary hab
its, and this sad news brings out the
strongest sentiment of sympathy for
his family in Ireland, he being on his
way home for them at the time.

A singular phenomenon was observed at

seemed to come from all directions to catch
the shower. Th- lor of the lower cloud

There was a big eared and large mouthed
young man on the streets Friday and Satur
day of last week, with a cheap frame and a
looking glass iu tbe middle, getting cards to
place in the frame, at three dollars snd five
dollars a piece. He succeeded. In order to
get the cards he would run down the virtue
of advertising in the newspaper, stating thst
no one ever saw the ads., etc., which, as
every business men knows, was infamous
lying, and very "smsll beans" on his part.
The moaument of this infinitesimal youth
can be seen near the delivery hole in the
Post-office. The cards are a good job.
However many doubts and fears there
have been about the Oregon Pacific Railroad
being completed at an early date, tbey no
longer exist. It is a settled fact. The evi
dences are too marked. By the middle of
November an engine will run to Corvallis
from Yaquina City. The road cannot stop
at Corvallis. That would make it an ele
phant m the owners hands, it will go
through to Boise City. Only thst can make
it a paying road. It will not ealy help us,
but tbe valley. People owning property
should not get excited and sell it, on ac
count of close times, nor should they put an
unreasonable value on it.
A correspondent ef an East Oregon pspsr
attacked another pspsr, charging ths lAttsr

the correspondent "got it in the neok," to
uses pugilistic expression : "He is not only
a liar, bat the meanest specimen of a thief,
because he attempts to steal another man 's
reputation, which would injure us. but do
himself no good whatever. If he is a law
yer, he is a sneaking, pettifogging shyster,
ia comparison to whom Uriah Hasp would
be an angel of light. If he is a preacher, he
is a sniveling, hypocritical, canting, black
hearted, puny-soulad, shriveled -brained beg
gar, who ought to suffer the hell of his dis
eased, debased imagination. Whoever he is,
be is a liar, a thief and a villain s and is out
ef the penitentiary or the insane asylum
only because he is too much ef a coward to
act what he thiaks, and too much of a fool
even to manifest the usual signs of insanity. '

The fallowing extract I copy front a
paper published In California I
'The mayor of Oakland has ordered
tbe revival of tbe aid custom of ringing
the curfew bollsevery evening at 9 oVlock,
with reaponeee from the bells on the en
fine houses, and the police are to arrest
all boy under IS In tho straeta after tbat
hour. In ires a tho order to arrant young
boys found In the streets late in the even
ing having no good reason for being
away from bom at such aa hour baa
been in rem rer several mouths, ana It
has certaitily resulted in good."
In the t-Uy law of th city of Albany,
Ordinance 103, reads as follows: "That
no minor shall bo permitted to go abroad
upon ar wander about tb otreeta of the
city between tbe hour of 8 o'clock p. in.,
and Ao'oloek a. ss., af the following morn
ing utile such minor, etc , etc"
Tbe same law Is In effect at Oregon City
and Salem where it Is enforced and baa
given good results. Why should not a
law which doss good in Callforn ia and
other Oregon citte prve benenciu! in Al
bany ? It would if enforced by tbe police
as It should be. No one will dispute the
(act tbat to day there sre more young
boys "bumming" tbe streets of Albany
after night than In any other city of Its
size in Oregon. There should not be and
would net bo if the city laws were proper
ly enforced. X, X.

Lurch, th senior partner has been arrest

duplicated seme notes sa many aa four
times. Tbe story sf tbe whole present a
bad picture. Here is ano such case
netted in the "Oregoaian," against tbe
Sea lor Larch
a
Some time since a creditor sf Lurch paid
off a nte for foOO. ami thoughlieaaiy left
the note lying on tae eK. J nere wera
witnasaas to the payment, so the man was
in no hurry, to secure bis paper, and did

ed" four times.
And from tbe same paper we get lbs
following charge ;
He held s note acalnat a responsible
farmer fe- $900, which had nearly been
liquidated by partial payments, all prop
erly endorsed in Ink on the back. Pay
ments had reduced tbe note to a value or
about $10. Nome four weeks ago he went
to another farmer and aakad the loan of
fiao offering the note just mentlaned as
I ...HbUmI Th. .mm. ,.. wHAark k, nn1lfl
collateral. Ths man to whom hejspplied,
an honest, not ovsr shrewd granger,
looked at the face of the note, knew that
ths slgnsture wss good for ten times the
amount, neglected to turn tho note over
and read the endorsements thereon, snd
promptly let Lurch hive $900. He will
get about one oent sn ths dollar.
The farmers of Lane oounty will lose
about $35,000, by tbe failure. Verily is it
not time that they begin to open wide
their eyes, aad refuse to confide in 'very-
body.

A Mm ml I Even I,
A trip to Portland and back is a smsll
event but enosgH of one to reveal many in
terosting facts, as tedious as the trip if.
Tussdsy the writer performed the task. Mr
Young, the genial and accent mods ting Con
ductor of the I obanon express acting as
guide. He understands his business. News
noys on a train are a necessary evil ; but
some sre queer mixtures, particularly the
one on the Ubanon traia, who played tbe
Ave cent dodge en us, and made us psy flf
teen cents for an Otegonlan. If is sphsro is
Hawking lomonade in a circus, a task that
roquires hair brsiaed young men.
Notwithstanding the ominous looks of the
clouds considerable hsrvesting was being
lone, although iu most places farmers seem

much.
At H u bL.nl a young man got on the train,
whom we wera told was tbe Worthy Chief
lemplar ef a flood Templars Lodge. He
wss sober. On coming home in the evening
tbessme yeung bud sppesred, with a tongue
thiok trem the use of too much fire water.
In other words he was intoxicated. Eril
associates did it, for it was not his habit.
Portland is decidedly dull, if the word ef
many ef her bua'neas men is to be taken as
authority ; at the same time rot a dorable
ife is manifested, and we are inclined to
think matters are simply at par. Her boom
was too much for her, and so is her reaction.
Very little real estate is changing haads.and
oempsratively a smsll amount ef building.
Many look gloomy ; yet we have great con
ci 1 , . , ... ...
oueuue in rorwau'i s prosperity, anil it a
greater effort were made to produce steady
growth snd leas of booming, it would work
much more to Portland's advantage. East

The DsjsOobat is a part of Albany, it

never ceased working for its beet Interests,
from tbe dsy that It started. It continue a
to do so, with an abiding faith in its fu

natural advantages not to lie changed by
less than an Iowa cyclone. Albany is
bound to oontlnne upward, and the Dsmo

from those whs know bow to appreciate
a good newspaper, realizing that like in

paper published in a olty like Albany does
not have the facta to work from like ono
