A Cajole Cfcas.
Last Saturday several hunters of Albany
and Knox Butte made a general stampede
around Knox Butte in the hopes of running
down several sheep eating coyotes that have
been doing much damage in that vicinity
lately. As there are private and county
bounties amounting to about $22 on each
co vote scalp, expectation were great. After
a days hard tramp in the locality where the
ugly beasts had been dining on mutton
the hunters dispersed without even a stght
of them, only to find on their way home
that their field of action during the day had
been eight or ten miles off in another direc
tion. ire me as CJeetloM

Last Monday the Simpson wharf was the
scene of a first -class river steamer altercation.
The poor little "Topsy" was at the wharf
when the great over bearing "Salem" steam

the former boat injuring it to quite an ex

one assisted in quite a lively physical man

Ulrkiac as tal
The H. A. C. ministrels have reached
home. The following is the account of
their trip given to their organ the Statesmen :
"The H. A. C. "plug hat brigade" min
strels returned yesterday from their trip to
the "proposed terminus of the O. P," and
to Eugene. They speak very highly of
their treatment at the latter place, where
they played to a Urge and appreciative
house of Eugene's theatre goers. Thev
have not so much to say about Albany,
where their home was very slim, and other
treatment not satisfactory. The boys re
port having had a nice time on their trip,
and that they feel well paid for it"
Intended for satire, the above is not even
third-class humor. The II. A C. minstrel
got as big a house as they had any right to
expect In Albany. It is such conduct as
the above, carried through a long series o'
years, that has made Albany people apathet
ic in reference to anything from Salem.
The H. A. C. minstrels have no right to
complain of their treatment here. It was
first-class. Right here, let us say that they
gave a very enjoyable entertainment They
are entitled to that credit , but they ought
to be ashamed of themselves for kicking in
such a boyish manner because they got a
small house. The following from the next
days Statesman somewhat ameliorates mat
ters, but not sufficiently to Induce us to
change the above :
"The H. A. C. minstrel desire the States
men to state that all the parties with whom
they had business during their stay in Al
bany, better treatment could not have been
asked, and that it was a few who by form'
ing a combination, caused them to nave so
small a house there."

For real, substantial, solid feeling, the
Senatorial contest, match hunt and city
election were atomical beside the gigantic
effort made in this city to raise $40,000
for the Willamette Valley and Cascade R.
R. extension through Albany. But It was
done, and the fact that it was done speak
like the loud sounding hay of a fox hound
for our c it 1 ci is. The money invented will
he well expended. Bring on your road.

that newpapcrs are not the onlv ones who
put fox heads over wolf Items, that Is make
errors. A recent return of an M. 01 to
a marriage.now on file in the County Clerks
office, states that John Doe and Salty Roe
on a certain day weie married to the town
of Brownsville, and another one that the
groom was married to hi own brother,
at whose house the wedding was held. The

The second game supper of the Albany
Rod and Gun Club was given at the Ex
change Hotel on Saturday evening last.
Between twenty and thlrtv hunters with
w ef
their wives, sister,cousins and sweet hearts,
making between fifty and sixty in all, sat
down at 8: 30 to two well arranged tables.
Among the number was the eating editor of
the Democrat, a half starved Doctor and
his wife and a few others, besides those
mentioned. Mrs. Murry has long had the
reputation of being the gamiest cook, or
rather the best cook of game. In the valley.
On this occasion she sustained her reputa
tion in a manner to make the most confirm
ed Epicures smack their lips with satisfac
tion. Platter after platter of duck, teak
spring tail, spoon bill, widgeon and mallard,
eighty or a hundred snipe, fried and in
pot pie, oyster soup, corn, celery, pies, cakes,
etcetera, disappeared before the hungry
eaters like snow in an Oregon sunshine,
until the company seemed glued to their
seats. Anticipating such an event Mr-
Charles W. Watts had been appointed editor
of a game paper, called the Albany Game
Ckrtmkte, or something of that nature.
Having only oaten a small supper of eight or
ten duck, numerous snipe, etc., more or less,
he was able to get to his feet and read the
first nnmber of the Chronicle. Containing
anecdotes and personal hit with the gaul
in, it had the desired effect and no incon
venience waa afterwards experienced from
the large supper. An informal dance closed
all that was left of match hunt No. 3.

Monday evening in January. All persons
interested m literature should take the
course, and join the circle. The reading
begin with October 1st, but one commenc

before the end of the year. Prosperous
circles are also running in Portland, East
Portland, Salem, The Dalles, Ashland and

At Halsey 59 cents is paid for wheat. At
Peoria, a few miles distant 63 cents is paid.
The wherefore is an interesting one. Halsey
Is on the O. & C. R. R. Peoria Is on the
Willamette River, on which the boat of the
Willamette & Cascade R. R. steams. At
Parker's the price of wheat is 65 cents,
caused by cheap transportation. At Cor
vallis it is 63, and at Albany it is only 60.
Linn county farmers, with much reason do
not like to see this difference against their
wheat stored in Albany warehouses. The
subject contains a granary of food for re
flection. Important to Purchasers or Holiday tioods.
From this date until after the close of the
holidays, we will sell gold and silver watch

plated ware. In fact anything in the jewel -cry
line at bed rock prices, will fill orders
