Taml ('averted Jew.
Rev W O Turner, Presiding Klder of the
Walla Walla district thus goes for Barnhari,
"the converted Jew," who was id Albany
several months ago :
A certain religions tramp net long since
passed through this country, claiming to be
a converted Jew. That he is a Jew is not
seriously questioned ; but tbat he is a true
Christian yon will judge for yourself after I
state facta that have been given me. He
came to Pomeroy some months since and
passed himself off as a Methodist. He then
went to Lewiston and claimed to a Presby
terian. Soon after he made the Colfax peo
ple a visit, aad there was an ardent Baptist
He had occasion to visit Palouse City, and
finding the Campbellites in the ascendancy,
he became a most ardent and zealous advo
cate of that faith. Some people in this
country in their bread charity (?) think him
crazy. Others of severer judgment pro
nounce him "a whited sepulchre," a base
imposter. His constant ability to find out
wbich is the strongest denomination in a
new place, and the remarkable coincidence
of his happening to be a member ot that
strongest denomination in nearly every in
stance, convinces some people tbat be is net
simply a religious crank, but a downright re
ligiuus tramp. A word to the wise is snf
ficent. Look out for bim.

Tbat big, little, eld aud young-, are

l ast Monday Mr Ihoraas Humphreys
J ft a bunch of hops from the yard of
Mr L Parser, near Lebanon, which takes
the loaf of bread. Some of tbe heads
are three inches long, and tbe whole if
a good sample, indicates a large crop,
which we are assured re will be. Mr
Parker's yard will average 1200 to 1500
pounds to the acre. At only 25 cents
per pound, with a cost of 8 cents per
pound to raise, aod 1200 pounds t the
acre, there is a profit of $200 per acre ; or,
at as low as 800 pounds to the acre, over
$103. Certainly this is much better
than wheat.
M ill be Completed.
The Oregon and California Rail Road, we
are now assured, will be built. It most cer
tainly should be bnilt. Whether it will help
San Francisco or injure Portland, or turn Mt
Hood bottom side up, has nothing to do with
it. We need, and must have, a direct commun
ication with California by rail overland. That
is the point that interests the people of Oregon.
These selfish side issues should never be
raised under the present condition of things.
A country must have railroads to be advan
ced. One might as well attempt to stop the
IPillametts running down hill as the bedd
ing of a railroad between here and California
eventually.

It becomes a part of my pleasing duty
to-day to extend a band of wnlcniiui in vim
all on hehairof the city of Albsny snd
alsoetl behalf our Firo Department. The
ottlsena of Albany, tbe Albany Firs Ds
partment and In fact the people of old
Linn In general feel a Just sense of prldo
to know that so early in the history of
too wrogon state Firemen's Association
our own beautiful and prosperous city i
favored tfle aoospted plaou for holding
its third annual tournament,
Albany Is beautifully eiisuonood In tbo
most fert ile and salubrious portion of the
central Willamette valley and It Is not tho
Intention of her oltlaens to deliver any
material part of it to the do-trovlmr
clement, aod when occasion offers they
enter ths conflict with the looping flamen
with all tbo seau ratio of suwesa requisites
to a satisfactory Insuo. I say her mtlxeii
nUtr Into sues contest, Why say olilaen 7
ro cause nor clUxsna, both women and
men are pre-eminently deserving recogni
tion In this reaped. It iiuy seem novel
toeoine, when Informed that Albany has
u uiomiigui orgaiilxod, sollve, working
force of lire wciueii. but such Is happily
irnn, ami should those who look upon It
as a queer departure from tbo common
rule, ehauoe to be present on the occur
ronoo of a fire In Albany, their curiosity
would Immediately be converted into en
thusiasm when they saw a company of
woiuen drilled la their respective diiiios
with a much precision as a like number
of soldiers, prerlug hot ooffoo to stlmu
late aod invlgorato tho boys at the engines,
while all along tho line of battle, tho girls,
with oup In hand, are actively engaged in
administering to ths neoda of the tired
firemen ; ana such help hss mm-b to do in
elevating tbe moral sieuderd ef our lire
men'a profession. The buildings ofAl
bany are commensurate to tbo demmU
of the con ut ry and tbo requirements of
the times, aud are fairly equal to these of
her sister cities ; hence we owe the Ore
flood nothing, and will pay it no more
thsn we owe.

The great firemen's tournament baa
come and gone, and while In many re
spf ote It was a success, It did not fail to
engender the usual amount of dlssatis
faction peculiar to most of sucb oocas
Ion The Astoria firemen kloked
about the hotel keepers and because
tticy did not bave things free, tbe Al
bany boys becauss they had bad luok,
and tbeHalem boys on general prlnol
!: : but all the kicks put together
would not have upset a seven year old

none of the iu have buen mails, if a
company offliemen enter a lourna
ment It should bo with tbe Used put
poso of puttlngup with little grievances,
abiding by the decision of Judges aod
taking matters philosophically, except
ing, of course, In cases of gross Injustice.
Nothing mar tbe success of an affair
tike this more than kluklug, and It is
matter of deep regret tbat any occurred
In tbe late tournament.
During tbe late tournament a gentle
man In the upper story of tbe Revere
House stuck bis bead from tbe window
and "shot off bis mouth" iu a bolster'
ous manner while the firemen below
were discussing some matter that had
cm up. Just as h completed his
scnteuceometblug dropped from his
mouth to the side walk below, and such
a look of black consternation and child
Ish helplessness was never before seen.
He shut bis mouth, perhaps learning a
leasou to keep his tongue to himself.
It was a pity that several others could
not have been In a third story with a
set of false teeth to drop.

A Portland paper seeks to cause a ssnsa
