Official County ani City Paper. Saasr First The following facts, though familiar to old settlers, will be of Interest to most of the Democrat's readers, in the seyeral precints of Linn county, mentioned : Albany was laid out by Thomas and Walter Montelth. Davis A Layton opened the first store. Jas P Miller was the first Postmaster; Squire Thornton the first Lawyer, Dr R C Hilt the first teaober and physician. In Harrisburg D A A A McCully opened the first store In 1853, Brownsville was laid out by James Blakely in 1&-VJ. Ths first store was kept bv Hugh L Brown. The first store in Lebanon was kept by J and Wm Ralston. The first voting wss done iu Scio in 1848. The first building was put up at Shedd's by A Wheeler in 1801. Peoria had Its first settler In 1831 ; its first store was kept by Arthur and Jehn U North. The first settlers in Orleans went there in 1846, among them being William and John McCoy. In Franklin Butto Johu F Crabtree was the first settler and the first permanent one In the whole Forks. Tramp.. Oregon is being overuo with tramps, a noble set of itinerant beings who help build up a oountry. As they are an in stitution deserving of the greatest oonsid eration (a number 10 boot) we give a few pointers to Linn county people which will eaable them to get in their good graces, ths dear (costly) fellows : Always give them hot biscuits well covered with but ter, (and red pspper) plenty of beef and potatoes by the peck (with an ague pre sc iptlon thrown in.) Let them steep in the best bedroom (with a can of dynamite under it thst ex plodes by contact with loud soon,) Do not ask them to work, It bu rts their feelings. (Put a revolver to tneir head and make them.) Leave your purse aud silver ware around, (with a chronometer safe lock in front of It) f -r they are hoceat, the much abase! fellows, (when they are in the lock up.) Tell theas to comi agaiu (if they wish o die, and when they leave present them with your best walking boots (the toes will do.) Bsseraiard Cr Victor E. Piolett, Past Master of the Pennsylvania State Orange, in a recent address to the patrons of husbandry ,ay : "These are perilous times for farmers. There Is not a product which we are en gaged In making that will sell in the markets for more thsn the labor required to grow and prepare it for sale. The capital invested in our farms and their equipment does not psy us any percen tage of profit. We are competed to use the most rigid economy in order to make the receipt equal the expense of our year's operations. Farmers are not so associat ed and organized as to limit their products to the demand ; cannot say to the laboring men, we will suspend work two weeks in Jnly and so many days in August, in or der to prevent surplus production, nor publish to the world that we will charge fixed price for articles of human subsis tence," Fsrm-is. though, can raise a more diyersifisd crop, and we are glad to notice are doing so. The fact ths' there is much less barley raised in the United States thsn is consumed is a pointer. In Oregon, at least, though , it is a fact that it they branch out the price drops to almost nothing, as for instance as in the case of potatoes this year. Yet in potatoes at 25 cents is there not as mucn money as in wheat at 70 cents, if not more. Yaiialn rasters. Oar plamksrveit this season waj sextuple that of last year. The Alsea people brag on a c w that gives nine gallons of milk per day. The Albany stage got into trouble with the Fountain House, Wednesday, and Judge H afford assessed the One at fifteen dollars. M M Davis' drag store st the docks was completed about the middle of the week. D J Watts, lecturer of the State Temper anoe Alliance, delivered excellent lectures in Phelps Hall, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings. Judge Kelsay, of Corvallis, delivered a lector on the political issues of the day at Phelps Hall Wednesday evening. Geo Washington and S Nicholas started out fishing the other day in old ocean ; got into the surf, lest their oars and had to tear a piecj of board out of ths boat to paddle ashore with. They concluded that it was not a goal day for fishing anyway. A CerreeUoa. The notice in the papers last week made it appear that the ladies of the W C T U gave the free dinucr os Thursday, which was aa uointential mistake as the dinner was given by the firemen under the auspices of the Ladies Coffee Ciu'. VV. U. T. U. Wkat a Mississippi Pilot Says. Capt. D. M. Riggs, who is well known at New Orleans and along the Mississippi river says, "I have been suffering from dyspepsia for the past five years, and from broken rest, by severe pains in the bowels and kidneys. I tried every medicine reo omended for ehese diseases, without suc cess. At last I used a bottle of Brow n's Iron Bitters, which proved a perfect sue cess in my case." It cures all liver, kid , ney and malarial diseases. Wheat Soles. 25 acre of wheat threshed on the farm of Jesse Archibald averaged 40 bushels to the acre. Hackleman L Bridges in 15 days threshed 22000 bushels of wheat, with a Massillon thresher. NOTICE.

Hoffman A Joseph's being flooded this week by people who want first-class cool di inks, ice cream, cigars, etc Mr Used, of this city has purchased a farm at Wells Station, aud his son-indaw, Mr Bronwell, will run it. We have no hesitation in saying that Ken ton's Sea Lion Polish is the best we have ever used. You ought to try it. The largest and best stock of harness and saddles in the valley is to be fonud at E. L, Tnoinpson k Co. and their prices are low. An Astoria paper is looktug for around for a city of 100,000 population. It may, aud perhaps wUI, see the day when it wtil need it. Bell Brothers, of Jackson county, it is claimed threshed on au average ufiy-four bushels ot, wheal to the acre from forty. three sere. With water-uieiuus, cucuiuoer. green,' corn, green apples, green peaches, etc., iu the market Doctors should do a thriving business. Go to Smith k McCartney's for bargains in drugs, medicine, etc., they are selling cheap to dupose of their stock before closing out business.

The man who quits advertising in dull times is like the man who would not mend bis roof because it did not rain snd of course did not leak. Smpon, Coles big elephant got to mis behaving himself lately while on his way East, and bad to be killed. It took 120 shot ballets to dispatch him. A twelve thousand dollar lire occurred in Portland Monday night, among other build ings I'ennoyers saw mill was burned. Half of those burned out were insured. Among the many other merits of a Fire men's Tournament, one is that the city gets fixed np in better style. Streets are cleaned, windows ditto and everything presents a good front. Parties wishing to get bargains in drugs cutlery, etc., should call on Smith k Mc Cartney. They are selling their stock at bed rock prices, as they will close about Aug. 25tb. Last Saturday night Mr. Andrews, agent for the Examiner, while skating at the rink, fell, dislocating one of the lingers of his pen hand, much to his sorrow. Dr. Wallace ixed it np. Horses that have to shake their manes to go in 4:40 must have carious sensations thrill their bones if tbey ever read of Jsy Eye See's trotting in 2.10, two miles to their one. Those who have imagined that Mr Strong has taken a partner in his business from the sign across the street near his store, reading, ''Brave and Strong." are mistaken. It ap plies to the firemen. The bottom has fallen completely oot of Coer D'Alene. Lots for which $1500 were asked at one time, cannot be sold now. The whole was one grand bnmbug, and was evi dently gotten np for that purpose. Onr contemporary last week stated that it would cest sixty-six dollars to iosure the Court House for twenty thousand dollars for one year. As a matter of face it woe Id cost two hundred dollars, the rate being one per cent. rfe go to press this week earlier than usual n account of the State Firemen's Tournament, to obtain the proceedings of sll of which it wool 1 be necessary te be a day behind hand, which is contrary to our principles. The Tariff question is to be thoroughly dis cussed in the North American Review. Free Trade arguments will appear in the Septem ber number, and Protection views in the October. The ablest writers on both sides have been engaged. There are 192 hop yards in Oregon, and of this number about one-third are in Lane county, which is the hop connty of the State There is money in boos at even 15 cents. 20 is almost certain to be received, this year probably 25 cents. Do jou wish a beautiful complexion? Vhen use Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It cleanses snd pur ifies the blood, and thereby removes blotches snd pimples from the skin, making it smoth and clear, and giving it a bright and healthy appeal anee. i The best medical authorities acknowledge the great value of Ayer's Carthartic Pills,aud frequently prescribe their use with the ut most confidence, well knowing that they are the most effectual remedy ever devised for diseases caused by derangements of the stom ach, liyer and bowels. Many people are shocked at the stories of jtheGreely survivors living on the flesh of their dead companions ; yet as a matter of fact could five starving men, almost berefi of reason, be blamed for eating even human flesh rather than perishing themselves. There are at least two sides to the question. As we anticipated all of the Chinamen who stopped work on the O P last week have gone to work having been paid one month wages. Payments are clow on all roads.mucli less might they be expected to be so on a road receiving nothing, not yet doing any bust nasi. Mr William Peacock remembered the Democrat efice with a watermelon early Monday morning. It had the true ring to it, was wsbfootall through, snd wss greatly appreciated. Mr Peacock was the first one lsst year to remember the Dkmoorst office in a like manner. K T T Fisher, County Surveyor of Linn county, is prepared with field notes snd township plats of this county to correctly locate corners of land where the same have been lost or destroyed and will replace the same with permanent monuments. Persons wishing surveying done will please address him at Miller's, Linn county, Oregon, Following is a list of tho Mayor's of Al bany. beginning with the year 1865, in the order of their term : Judas J C Powell.

K O Clsrk, David Freman. I C Dickey, Walter hetohum, Dr J C Hill. Hon. M. W. OlTutt, State Senator, Tow- son, Maryland, writes: "1 had occasion to apply treatment te a severely sprained knee from which, and from inflammatory rheuma tism, I bad been suffering for six weeks. Some one suggested St. Jaeohs Oil, which 1 tried, and it not only gave immediate relief to the sprain, but it cored me of every symp tom ef the rheumatism." Mr II Kenton received freiu Yanuiua Bay last week a large bone 5 feet, 2 inches one way and 3 feet, 2 inches the other. It is shaped like the bone of a sea lion, which be has in his possession, and it is possible came from a man moth member ef those peculiar animals, but as far as we know that fact is partly speculation. It will be used by Mr Kenton in advertising his sea lion silver pol ish, the best manufactured. A dispatch from HiUsboro,IU.,says : "The authorities in some of the towns in thin part of the State have been making war on the "Mother Hubbard" dress. In Mattoon the police issued sn order that no woman should appear upon the streets wearing a Mother Hubbard dress unbelted, the persons violat ing the order being liable to am at and fine. The authorities allege that the Mother Hub. bard costume tends to au indecent exposure of tho person and is therefore immoral.' The proper thing to do is to muzzle the po lice there, the poor feUows.

The Sea Lion Silver Polish is the finest for cleaning windows yet invented. We know for we nave tried it thoroughly. Five or sit years accumulation of fly soeoke, dirt, dost, etc, vanished before its magic power, leav ing nothing but the glass und putty, snd paint spots, which of course it cannot take off. Oiii residents now gel st the front window of the Dcaorsar office with woo dec They had heard of printers towels that stood alone being cleaned, but this surpassed their imagination.

One needs to go awsy from home for news. The following we clip from the Ashland Tiding. "A pointer for those who are somewhat skeptical concerning the market for fruit here, may be fonnd in tbe fact that E B Hunsaker, the grocer, received an order last Tuesday from sn Albany man for 140,. 000 lbs. of plums snd prunes, for which 1) to 2 eta per ponnd would be paid en their de livery at the depot ia Asblsnd. Mr Hui -saker probably could not find a thousand pounds of this fruit here sow, but many new plum and prune trees bsve been set out within the past year. The Albany man who want the fruit has an establishment in which fruits are dried, csnned and used up in various wsys. the making of campsgne cider and vinegar being one of tbe methods of utilizing what iu most places is only re fuse or waste."

Jamb Evan. Terrible Fir at Resetmrg. Tueoday morning Roeeburg met with one of the worst and most destructive fires in the history of Oregon.two blocks being completely burned or nearly so, From W It Rica aire nt at this City, we learn part ef tbe particulars.

The new way would avoid this. In a short time, when familiarized, It would seem the natural way. It Is as easy to say nineteen o'clock as seven o 'clock, and much easier than to say seven o'clock, yesterday morning or evening, as It maybe, as we now have to. Like telephone, an elevated railroad, a boile'i shirt, or a tooth pick toed shoe, it Is something easily gotten used to. Let us have the standard system.
