Td new lew (teased at the lent sesal on
O'the Legislature amending section Bill of
t leoode of criminal procedure of Oregon
to k effect May 20, It prohibit Uie eel
libg, lauding, giving away, distributing or
showing any indecent magaslue, newapa
per, etc., particularly prohibiting the eel
llu, ahawlng, etc., to any miner of any
p iblication principally made up of crlml
nal new, police reports or accouuta of
o 'lmtnal deeds, or pioturea and stories of
deida of bloodshed, lust or crime. The
law la strict and Its object is clear as those
of laws geuerally, sufficiently so that
aach psperaaathe "101100 Oaaette" aud
" .Sewa" are plainly within the proscrip
tion. Tho dealers of this city, looking at
It this, way, have diacontlnued selling the
at) v papers, and they can no longer be
found in Alb my. As the line is set at
5J0 to 1500, it w ill be well for dealers all
over the State to he careful how they pro
ceed in the matter. The law Is a good one
and should be enforced.
A fertile eertlsa
The land all through the forks of the
Santiaui and the Willamette is noted for
its fertility, a splendid thing to be said
a Kut a section of country ; but while it is
"perfectly immense" on wheat, it makes
n) distinction when it comes to weeds,
very thing has to grow, A few days ago
Mr Thomas Alphin aeut the Democrat
office a bunch of French pinks, all from
one seed, on which there were the large
nam be. of 805 pink heads This pest has
multiplied so fast that it is now fouud
atica'ng its many beads up all through
that section ef couniry, and withal has
proven t great nuisance Its advent was
an interesting one. The seed waa origin
ally ordered by Mr Crooks for his (lower
garden, but it has kept branching out un
til it has a very pernicious influence
Ha rut- alley.
Mr. James Eikins returned from Eastern
Oregou last Saturday. He reports times dull
and no stock buyers io the couatiy. Cattle,
burses and sheep are all low. Some horses
have been driven off to California and sold
for moderate prices. Crass is excellent sod
stock fat and doing well. Sheep-shearing was
about two thirds tlone. Wool will be low,
will as iog about lti cents per pound. The
Harney V alley excitement is uot abating
much yet. He says the valUy is a large and
beautiful one, but tit only fer raising horses,
sheep and cattle. It is too cold and frosty
to grow grain. About two out of five who go
ther will take hemes and remain. It is no
place for a poor man. He must have stock
to live there.
Blue Burke I Uiaglags.
Several weeks ago the Dbmocbat gave
several accounts of these famous diggings
with anounoeooent of a departure for
them of Mr J J Davis aud several others.
From Mr. Jas. feuktns, wbo has just ar
rived across the mountains we learn that
the party reach the traditional grave in
safety, where they sunk two shafts, but
found no gold nor indication of gold.
The party left the place satisfied the blue
bucket was a visionary business, some
going in one direction and others in an
other, Mr Davis searching pi inci pally for
the festive deer. Though they may have
found no gold, they certainly must have
bad a pleasant summers' trip, which was
one of the inducements for them to start
on the exuur sion.
The
era.
The Democrat is steadily increasing in
popularity and circulation, Its proprie
tors are laboring to make it the paper fer
the people. It is now recognized as the

I nriher l.n aliens by Be. T. M. While
I beg your Indulgence to write up autre
farther observation on the great sTkpasrl"
t ion recent h- cloned In New Orleans. The
multitudes who thronged tho vast build
tugs and grounds from day to day were
disseminators of intelligence and the ob
servations made by them. Our own Ntate

fact exhibit, under tho aupei vision of the
genial, whole-souled Allen, had a ready)and
enthualastlc talker, Allen was eminently
I'utcd for his work, and tight well did he
do It. Some deuree of tithuiasm 1 nec
essary in any calling.
Albany our own gotn of tin. valley, was
represented In tho pincers of our friend
Johnson, tho axe hsudle of Mr Richards,
while a ton of the Hed Crown Hour, sent
by our enterprising miller, laom, I .an

now onr friend with iho now roller pro

and challenge the world, Home enter
prise and busiucNs U)t are worthy of men
tion. Well, the whole Journey presented
a series aud congeries of scenes of iustruc
lion that can never bo forgotten.
I thought when I got to Baltimore on
my way to New Orleans, and was there
trlngling with thoo hospitsble, intelligent
christian people for about a week, thst
that wabrtit the best place I bad ever
struck, 'then when I went to Charleston
aud received the kind courtesies and hos
pitalities of that city of which I had learn
ed when a school-boy, "the citizens aie
noted for their hospitality,'--thought,
well, this lett Itallimoro a little. Then
when I got to Savannah, went In aud out
there a week or ten! days, and saw the
spirit and miinner of that pe.opto,I thought
well, If anything, t hi beats Charleston,
Then when I got to New Orleans where I
had lived and hail a pastoral charge for
throe year, and fell into the boNom of old
frieuds and rotative, u.iugling with those
I love and respected, receiving their ca
resses and t-nograt illations, und feeling
the throb of their .ouls in the shvke of
their hands, 1 thought, well, if possible
thi best Savannah. And no after I get
ba-'k to the beautiful Willamette Valley
aud receive the cordial welcome from so
many friends, and have such a home like
leeling, it seems to me as if it were getting
better and better, I am constrained to
say, there ia so much of worth, beauty and
lovelin ss in thi world that I can reiwal
tho line v-ith emphasis: Humanity Is
all akin " It good and true and U-atiti-tul,
fur out balancing the evil. Thankful
to a Diviae Providence which, with a
father tender care, hs guarded aud

expectation of t he friends of those who
took part in the play. Mr. Fred Nutting

the following glowing trlbuto toOregou :
Uentlemeu, (he chief attraction about

Irving threw over all that h wrolo

Srhael Meeting
A school meeting was held at the Court
House last Monday vnio for the purpose
of authorizing the Directors to bnrrow money
to build oar new school hoose. This author
ity was giveo by a voUj ef the district some
time ago, but it was not legal ss the law un
der which the authorization was made bad
not yet gone into effect. The directors were
autheriz! to borrow SlO.jfJO on the tnnt
f ivorable terms. The following are the reso
lutieas authorizing the loan i
Rt-.-,. f. That the Directors of School
District No. 5, Linn county, Oregon, be md
they are hereby empowered and authorized
to contract a debt in the name of said Dis
trict, not exceeding an amount equal to two
thirds of the cost of the proposed new school
house for said District, by borrowing money
in the name of the District, a sufficient sum
necessary to complete said school house, with
the money now on hand belonging to said
District.
IltKoltfrf, That the Directors he empower
ed and directed to borrow the sum of $IO,.ttO
for said purpose at the best rate obtainable,
and to issue the bonds of the District there
for. The same to be made payable as fol
lows : $3,500 in three years ; $3,500 in six
years ; $3,500 in nine years, interest payable
semi annually.
On motion the Directors were instructed to
borrow the money and issue the hoods, there
for, as mentioned in the above resolution', at
as early a date as possible.
The C'aHBtry Newspaper.
An exchange says that the country news
paper is the most useful of all the agencies
which stamp the impress of progress upon
villages and ialand cities. Without the aid
of local aewapapers towns are, as a rule, thrift
less and dead. It is common for small great
men to speak with contempt of the loca'
newspapers, but the village newspaper makes
more great men out of loss material more
bricks without straw than any other factor
in politics, and it is the one ladder on which
men climb to local distinction as the begin
ninu' of wider f w , i'u advent of the local
Dewapsper has always dated the increased
thrift of the community. The local news
paper is the life of the locality, and the
measure of its support, as a rule measures
the advancement of the people.
The Iowa Printers' Excursion.
A meeting of citizens was held at No. l's

A Mystery Kxplalaed.
Several days ago it was mentioned in the
columns of the .sVniinf that (1 sorgo Bus
sell, a boy aged 15 years, and a pupil of llsr
rison street school, had lieeu missing from
his home since Sunday, May 3lst. Sunday
ast the Coroner was untitled by two hoys
that a body had been found in tho !ough,
half a mile north of City View Park. Clothes
were discovered hanging on the limb of a
tree. The Coroner brought the body to the
city whore it was identified by Beujsmin
Russell, the father, as that of his missing
son, Au inquest was held, the only witness
of importance being John Wells, who testi
tied thst ho and Mr Bene, uu Sunday, while
rowing on the river discovered tho clothes
hanging on a limb, and going to the water's
edge saw a tsidy in the river. Wells and Bene
come to tho city ami notified tho Coroner.
The Coroner sent two of his employes to get
the Issly, but they, ou roavlmig it foui.d
that it w as in such position ss to Its imiosi
hie to get it sshore. The body wss therefore
lavee! down to tho Jefferson street ferry slip
and frviu thero taken to the morgue.
The supposition is that Russell with the
two hoys lt seen with hun, went in swim
tning near whero his boily was fouud, and
wss scciib nlttily drowned, hi companion,
who are unknown, being sfrsid to tell of the
incurrence, The jury rendered a verdict of
si-ckileutally drowning while in bathing. Tim

There is no person w ho does to much bar m

A Blue Klo nl In alhaay
Last Frldsy night Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., a son of Charles Francis Adams
Sen,, toe a son ol John Qulncy Adams, he
a son of John Adams, of the most blue
blooded family In Massachusetts, arrived
n Albany and remained horn until Satur
day noon. As few knew the gentleman
waa in the city no demonstration wss
made. Mr Adams represents the Union
Pacific Railroad and Is no state ui an like
his famous ancestors, but be has a fluent
tongue and can make a speech. In one at
Portland be prophesied thusly in refer
ence to Oregou :
"I fully believe, from what I have seen,
that In the not remote future, and I mean
by that before the time when men of my
generation will have paaaed off the stage
and It will be Torus to take the lire next,
for we are now In the front rank-I say
that before the men of tbo generation now
at tho front shall have passed oil' the stage
of active lite, there will be here In the
beautiful valleys which separate your
mountain raegea, and along these noble
river, the equal ol which I do not rem em
ber elsewhere to have seen, and upon the
sides of your mountains, developing their
hidden resources, a population of more
than a million,"
He Awake.
Yes, see tint you know all thst is going
on. If you see two men engaged in earnest
conversation go and stand near them so that
you can get the drift of their conversation.
If they are talking upon a subject of which
you have knowledge, pitch in aud help them
discuss it. If they are talking private busi
ness you may learn something to yeur ad
vantage by listening. If you go to church
do not sit like a stoic, but look about and
see who is in church. Turn around in your
seat aod gaze all over the congregation and
see who is present. When you hear any one
enter the church, do not wait like a aluggaid
until he comes in and takes a seat to see who
he is, but crane your neck the moment he
enters and see who he is. Yes, be awake.

By some means Mrs Duniwsy has auc

that these ladies said that the Senator

last Legislature. Of course the Senator did
ut promise auything of the kiud, heucn
strong words like "lie," etc , were mdulged
in. I he ladies did uot wish to contradict
their leader, but the Senstor made it ho hot
in his paper that they were all compelled to
come out in the Sentinel and deny making the
statement which seems to leave the ureal

Papers in a suit brought by the State of
Oregon against the county of Multnomah haye
been Hied in theoffiee of the County Clerk of
that county. It seems that heretofore the
county has always paid the State the full
amount assessed against property for State
tax purposes whether they collected it or
not. For the year 1883 the taxable prop-
Jerty of Multnomah county was set down at
17,653. 105, and the State tax en this as re
turned to the Secretary of State amounted to
39S.875 38. Of this but 92,649.51 was col
lected, leaving $b'209.87 delinquent or un-
collectable. The State has demanded this
money, and being refused payment, have
commenced suit for its recovery. Tne Sheriff
has been unable to celleet q tite a portion of
the delinquent tax on account of dcuble as
sessments, restraining orders, etc. Should
the State win the auit, the inonev will haye
to be tikon from the county taies The do-
