Last Monday noon Hon. John Sherman,
Senator from Ohio, passed north over the
O, A C. Railroad on a summer trip along
the Pacific Coaat. He wan greeted in this
city by a large concourse of citlitens, ds
airous ot teeing a man whose name had
been eontinuaiiy before the people of the
United States for I'uilv thirty years, as one
of the feeding statesmen of tbe U.S. and
an ambitious candidate for the Presidency.
The Albany City Band furnished some
excellent music for the occasion. After
Mr Sherman had partaken ef a fine dinner
gotten up by "mine host" Gross, he was
introduced on the platform of a car by
Mayor Ketvhum. whan he made a fw
pleasing offhand remarks about Oregon,
the Willamette Valley aud our people, in
anch a manner as to maka the large num
ber who heard him forget that he was oue
of the leading, u not the leading. Republi
can politician of the V nited States, It is
always a privilege to meet, see and hear a
noted man, whatever his nationality or
politics.

From a private letter from Mr lUi.i, who
-purchased "Oregon Btauty,"tthe mam with
the long tail and mane.) of O P Adams, of
Miller's, in this county, we lern that Mr
Reid showed her four days in Medford and
took in $2S5,two days in Red BlatTs and took
in $12S, three dsys in Chico snd took in
$177, one day at Oroville and took in $38.90.
making a total of $t31.90 in 10 days. It
would setm Mr Keid tfot a good bargain when
he gave $1500 for the "Oregon Beauty," but
Mr Adams has a colt that outstrips the mare
in beauty and worth. Mr Reid writes that
he was offered 92M0 by two different per
sons, but declared he wouKi not take four
times that sum for the mare.
The Market .
The wheat market remains unchanged,
with highest quotations in this city at 66o :
but each week makes the shortage appear so
great throughout the United Slates that
nothing else than high prices can very well
prevail, regardless of any European war, an
uncertain event. Flour, $5 ; bran, $10 ;
middlings. $16. No change in meats, cared
or fresh. New potatoes continue it JO cents
a peck, peas, 6 :. per poand. Blackberries
have arrived at 50c. per gallon. Strawberries
remain at 6c. ; new turnips 10.. a bunch
and radishes the same. Bunch, though i an
indefinite expression for it may mean much
or very little, generally the latter.

At the last term of the Circuit Court Wes
ley Fleetwood, an old man living somewhere
in the county, was indicted by the Grand
Jury for breaking oat windows in a certain
Grange Hall near the Santiam. Last Tues
day Deouty Sheriff Smith succeeded in cap
turing Fleetwood a few miles beyond Halsey.
He brought him to this city and placed bim
in the County jail, where he will languish
until the next term of Court in October, un
less bailed out. This should be an example
to Albany boys who are so f re-; in their use
i stones in mutilating buddings and break
ing out windows.

The Farmer's Revive, published at Chicago,
under date of May 31st, gives a summing np
from tbe reports of 3000 correspond ents, sov -ering
every wheat producing county in Ohio,
Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri. Kansas, Iowa, Wiscon
sin, Minnesota sad Dakota, together with a
very accurate and recent summary of the
Pacific Coast. Tbe outlook for fall wheat is
the worst for ten years. The tetal yield of
winter and spring wheat this year will fall
considerably short of the short crop ef 18tl
when tbe total product was 380.000 bushels.
The total yield it is thought will be about
320,000,000 bushels against an average yield
of 464,000,00 bushels last year.
Cervallls Firemen Pleale.
Several loads of Albany people attend
ed tbe picnie at Corvallis on Thursday of
last week, and returned home pronounc
ing it a successful and interesting affair.
Tbe contests were exciting, part of tbe re
sults being a surprise to many, The hoe
and hook and ladder races were both won
by the Lebanon firemen. The two foot
races were won by Rsy Raber. A ball in
the evening, we understand, was well at
tended, several young people of tbut city,
taking part in tripping tbe fantastic toe.

Down rrona rex Valley.
Mr J B Trask, of Fox Valley, is in the
city this week, laboring before the County
Court in tbe interest of the proposed bridge
at Mehama, A bridge at that point would
provs a wonderful factor in building up that
section of the county, which is now held
back by large ferriage fees across the Santi
am. Certainly a bridge will have to be con
structed there at some time, and the citizens
there ar most emphatic in saying that now
is the time.

The Secretary makes the statement that
the new comers settle in sll parts of the
State about evenly, aud what few valley
editors seem to appreciate from the thought
less maimer in which they sniHctimu writs.
that a majority of tho now comers have their
location practisally selected before hand, al
though some waut to look around more than
other. Kveu if he chose to do so, the Secre
tary could exercise little influence in the
matter of selecting a location. He is en
title,! to this in his favor. Kcry aoek uuin
erous apphciti ma are made for farms in this
city, and aa wiil Iks seen by our long real
estate list of transaction, some buy and
some hunt still farther. On the whole I.iuM
county has little to complain ol.

of the above society gave a most successful
social at the residence of Mr. I. Mauslit id
in this city. Several weeks ago such au
occasion at Corvallis was atteuded by ubout
twenty-five of our oung people, arousing a
strong sentiment of friendship letween the
members of the societies of the two places.

Halting for Mlfihrr Triers
The evil effect of waiting for higher prices
has been shown most forcibly in the matter
of the sale of hops. - cents, were offered the
first of the hop season, but nearly all waited,
antd many have just sold for about a fifth of
that price. While there may be individual
cases where money has been made on hops,
wheat, etc., by putting otT selling for vision
ary high prices, take it as a rule, and it is a
judicious proceeding to sell in an early mark
et if it only offers aversge advantages. In the
long run the farmer makes the most w ho
dees it. Hop raisers will not again see that
wonderful qaotatioa of three years ago of SI
a pound, nor wheat raisers the traditional $1 j
a bushel. Among tbe hop raisers of lann
county one had 20,000 pounds which he has
jast sold for 850 oyer freight and commis
siou, leaving him $2000 out of pocket ; an
other received $225 above the commission
and freight for 10,000 pounds, making him
$800 out of pocket, snd other case are re
ported with the same result, altogether leav
ing the county many thousand dollars poor
er. Bet these gentlemen did no different
fren what nearly every farmer doi-s. Believ
ing hops would raise they kept them. Where
several thousand dollars are at stake a meat
serious matter is presented, and it is certain-
y a very natural proceeding for oue to wait
for an increase in the price of a commodity
for the sake of making a few hundred dollars,
even though there are the most chances for
the pries to go the ether way. Yet is it
business in the long rau. Fanners should
stndy this matter serioos'y.

From this city the excursion will return
to Portland either by Corvallis or over the

is doubtful it any particu lar demonstration
is made by the citizsns of this city. Efforts,
though, are being made to get up an excur
sion for them to Corvallis.

The Granger's picnic at Jsffsrson this
week was eminently a success in every senae
of the word. The weather waa clear, but
just cool ceoagb to be pleaaaut. The crowd
waa large, but very orderly aud qnist Esti
mates as to the number present differed very
much, varying from ,Wi to titfJ. The pn -yerbiat
hospitality of l-inn county farm era
manifested itself when tune fur lonah came
for men and women with big hearts, hands I
and baskets were seen in the bigbwajs and
hedges almost compelling men and women lo '
come into the faaat prepared for the occaa-
ion. Unfortunately we were present st the i
picnic ouly part of the day oa Wednesday. !
The program for th day was carried out as
fully as circumstances would admit. Ho
listened to excellent speeches by Hons R P
Boise, Dan Clark and tT R Bilyeu. Space
does not permit us to give sn extended notice
of the speeches but suffice it to ssy they
were all replete with good sense, sound logic,
and devotion to the interest ef farmers.

Considerable excitement has been oc
casioned by tbe death of B. Coffey, tbo
"Oregoniau" carrier at Salem, which oc-
curred under bid circumstance, An ex
change gives the following particulars In
reference to the affair :
"It seems that on Sunday last Coffey
was in Independence. Lata in the even
ing he hired a man named Matney to take
him across the river, in a small boat. On
reaching tbe east side a dispute arose be
tween tbem as to the compensation for mo
doing, Matney recrossed, and returning
brought with him two other parties, nam
ed Cooper and Lawrence, and the three
attacked Coffey with such severity as to
bring on brain fever, from the effect of
which he died this morning. Coroner
Wsrriner held sn inquest at Maletn, and
tbe jury returned a verdict that death was
caused by brain fever, brought on evi
dently by llltreatmeut received at the
hands of Matney and others. All the as
saulting parties hsd beeu drinking hea -Hy,
which no doubt was the foundstion of
tbe whole trouble. Parties from Inde
pendence had, on the day previous to tho
attack, visited Coffey's barn and broke a
number of windows- In one of his houses,
aud bis visit to Independence was for the
purpose of ferreting out the guilty parties.
The fact that be displayed considerable
money led runny to think that au attempt
was made to rob him"
On examination Matnoy, Lawrence and
Cooper were held to await the a rtion of
the Grand J urv.
