The rrml Acceptance
Last week the Dkmockat announced the
formal acceptance bv the management of
the Oregon Pacitlc R. R , as it in familiar
ly known to us, of the proposition of the peo
ple of Albany for the extension of the road
through this city. The first of the week
the Committee on the $40,010 subscription
received a formal acceptance from Col.
Hogg on behalf of the road, of which the
following is a copy :

Crtmfortl tmd Comimfee on behalf of tkr

Gentlsmsn : I am in receipt of yours
accompany iug a subscription list of contri
butions agreed to be paid to the Willamette
Vallev and Coast Railroad Company on the
completion of its line of road from Corval
lis, Benton county, to Albany, Linn county,
Oregon.
On behalf of the Willamette Valley and
Coast Railroad Company, I accept the tame
ton the terms named in said subscription.
Instructions have been given to make thor
ough examination of the routes to Albanv,
so as to determine the most desirable ; when
that is decided work will be entered upon at
the earliest practicable day.
Permit me to suggest "that deeds neces
sary to fully convey any of the properties
named in the subscription should be at once
executed and deposited as agreed in said
subscription. I am, gentlemen.
Yours Truly,
T. E. 1 1. ......
President W. V.ef C. R. R.
As we have heretofore stated, the route
of the road through Albany is only a mat
ter of speculation. Engineer Eckelson has
looked over the ground during the high wa
ter ; but has not given the matter away,
and probably will not until a formal snrvey
it made. The road it coming and we have
every reason to believe will reach Alban v
before the next harvest.

Our friend, M. C. Calloway, sa.vs that
while he may not be able to beat the story
of the child at Shedd, (of which we gave an
account some time ago that had something
like 500 pounds of grandmother,) vet he can
tell of a child that has more grandmothers
in number. The child is Albert Bryan's.
Its grandmothers are Mrs. Ed. Bryan, (Al
bert's mother,) of this city, Mrs. Reeser, of
Walla Walla, mother of Mrs. Ed. Bryan,
Mrs. Witzcl, of Tangent, mother of Mrs.
Albert Bryan, Mrs. Hurlburt, mother of
Mrs. Witzel, and Mrs. Elizabeth Bryan,
mother of Albert Bryan's father. We think
without partiality in the case that these
grandmothers get away with the Shedd
grandmothers, and are each entitled to a
chromo, which they can have by cal ling at
this office .

In our last issue we mentioned the pro
posed Catholic school building to be con
tracted in this city during the coming
Summer. Our figures, through misinfor
mation, in reference to the cost of the
structure, were somewhat too large. The
building when completed will cost about
$ 1 0,000. If the wings of the building are
not built at present the present cost will be
about half that Mr. Groat, of the Depot
Htel, has shown us a drawing of the pro
posed building. It will be a haadsome two
story building with a large basement-
Tnere will be five school rooms, two music
rooms, a large dormitory, cooking rooms
etc. Six sisters will have charge of the
school, which will go by the name of "The
Convent of the Lady of Perpetual Help.'
Catholic schools are among the most thor
ough and best conducted and are always
well patronized.

The above school under the charge of
Prof. J. B. Wirt closed a very successful
term on last Friday, at which time appro
priate exercises were had. This was the
first term taught in the new school house,a
fine double boxed building, 24 by 30 feet,
planed inside and outside, and well supplied
with good blackboard. During the term
just closed Prof. Wirt's first class in spelling
particularly did good work, completing the
speller in the three months. Following are
the names of the members of the class
Florence Burrell, Emma Slavens, Alice
Todd, E A Davis, Frank Jennings, William
Slavens, Fred Klcinhammer, Walter Rey
nolds, Samuel T Powell, John Burrell, Ar

A Isss,
Friday night several shots were heard
fired in the Third ward. The next morn
ing a sensational story was started about
how a citizen of that ward had been fired on
by another citizen and hit in one of his
heelt. It was told in such a sober, matter
of fact way that many believed it, one of
the parties mentioned being known to be on
the "shoot." Fortunately it was a hoax, a
semi-tragedy being spoiled. In these"mod
ern times" it is about as safe not to belie v e
as to believe the current accounts of the day-
Small Bnrglarles.
On Thursday night of last week a rubber
coat, some pie, cake, etc., were stolen from
the residence of Mr. L. Sendert,in thit city.
On the same evening a pane of glass was
lifted from a window in Huffman & Noel's
saloon, an entrance made, and a revolver,
two nickel plated faucets, $3.50 and a few
other things were taken. As a number of
suspicious looking tramps had been loafing
around the city during the day it is easy to
hint at the thieves.
That Cibost Htory,
The ghost story circulated on the street
in connection with the county jail is looked
upon the way ghost stories generally are.
Strange noises have been heard. The only
question is as to who was the guilty party.
It 1 claimed that one of the tramp prison
ers, Stewart and Fenton, is a ventriloquist.
As Fenton seemed to be the most frighten
ed he may have been the ore.

The Haagsltaa New tear.
Chinese New Years is being "whooped
up" this week. "Whooped up" U a high
sounding word and means a good deal.
Sleepless nights, hideous, unfathomable,
discordant, matchless, noise, is as near the
correct definition as we ran ascertain. The
Celestial's New Year will not be celebrated
in Tacoma, llalsey and Medford. The
reason of this It that there are no Chinamen
there. If there were only one poor opium
jointed, cavote mouthed, greasy queued
celestial in those places the sound of the
broken metaled band would be heard. This
office acknowledges the receipt of a supply
of nuts that set ones teeth on end to cat.
We could not help receiving them. It is a
newspapers business to receive. It is a
noticeable fact in the life of a newspaper that
with Celestial the money all goes one way.
We dare any of our exehanges to give an
instance where a Chinaman paid for any
thing in solid cash. They are sometimes
free for policy's sake with handkerchiefs
and nut but that is about the extent of
their generosity. We wish the Chinamen
of Albany a quiet New Years.

The MsitrMS Bridge.
Last August in giving an account of a
trip to the foot hills a Democrat man
spoke of a conversation with several work
men on the Sanderson bridge, across the
Santiam and said : "They freely expressed
the opinion that without a breakwater just
south of the bridge the approach would
again be undermined and swept away and
expressed in most emphatic language their
surprise at the bank being ordered excavat
ed at it only gave the water an additional
opportunity to work against the land and
under the peer." Their turmises are prov
ing partially true. We are Informed the
approach is being undermined by the
present high water in the manner above
anticipated. Messrs. Kellev.of Sweet Home
and Lee Morris, who were in the city Wed
nesday, on the other hand, tell us that they
were at the bridge Tuesday, and do not be
lieve there is any danger. Mr. Morris
thinks the approach needs protecting though
The greatest danger was from brush wood
lodging on the middle peer.
Verger Captervd.
Several months ago the Deicocrat gave
an account of how a man calling himself
Whitney in Portland had certain certificates
of deposit printed in Portland and then at
Butte, Montana, Ogden, and other places
tried to get money on certain bank paper
As a sequel to the above the same man was
a short time agp arrested in Chicago, under
the name of Hale. It now transpose that
he was a partner of one of the mosTtamous
forgers, of this century, and has himself
had a checkered career, having served
nearly ten years for previous forgeries. On
his last expedition he, with his gang, it is
reoorted. collected about fifty thousand
dollars, presenting forged paper to banks
m w -
all over the United States, many times be
inir successful. Although he obtained no
money from Oregon we are glad to know
that he has at last been brought to justice
Where Is.
We have several times lately been asked
about what had become of Levi Buckner,
alias Frank Taylor, who was recently in
debted to Judge Boise's clemency for his
liberty after pleading guilty of bigamy.
Until now we have been unable to report.
On Tuesday he was in the city and obtain
ed a license for the marriage of himself and
Francis Miller, and presume by this time
the ceremony has been performed which
makes them legal husband and wife, his
former, wife recently having obtained a di
vorce. We say legal under the supposition
that the story of a third wife was untrue, as
it probably was.
A Wet Experience.
A few days ago while on the Calipooia a
few miles above this city, at the log drive
Mr Levi West had a narrow escape from
drowning. He was on a horse on the bank
of the river, when the earth gave way send
ing him and his horte into the water, Mr.
West managed to get out at once, but the
horse remained in sometime before reach-
j ing the bank.

Applicable Remarks
In addition to the particulars given in our
last issue of the gentleman on a recent trip
of the "Yaqulna" getting suddenly religious
during a big storm, it Is now reported that
in order to make matters complete a collec
tion was taken up. Tins so completely
cooled him that all fright was taken away
from him.
Br indiscriminate truslina one coul
easily work up a big trade in even elephant
w w
The incident is told us of a woman who re
cently bought a can of lard at a butcher
shop and had it charged to Mr. Never let.
Going past a grocery store a few moments
later the butcher saw the woman trying to
trade the lard off for some groceries. On
another occasion at another butcher shop
she bought some meat and had it charged
to Mr. S. but did'nt know his first name
The above shows how easily it is to get
taken in, and the necessity of storckcepei s
feeling the bumps on the heads of custom
ers.
The man with money has to pay more
for his goods because the man without
money is in the habit of forgetting to liqui
date. This is not right.
Half an hour a day devoted to reading
good books will make an average head a
library of information in a few years. Let
Albany young people ponder.
High water affords an excellent topic for
conversation during dull times. For un
employed men there is no finer sight than
kto watch the muddy, agitated waters of the
Willamette, Mowing, firmly but monoton
ously past.
A smoking machine that wouid save
smokers the effort of puffing would be a
grand and paying invention.

Last Tuesday evening a fire caught in
Rader's butcher shop at Corvallis. Mr.
W. M. Pitman, who lived opposite, started
to give the alarm and put on the water for
the fire department. He had reached Sor
bin's Corner, where he was speaking to
some one when he suddenly dropped to the
ground and expired immediately. Heart
disease was the cause. Mr. Pitman was In
the furniture business, and was a man high
ly respected. The fire was extinguished
without the aid of the department.

fact that Tangent is also worthy of men

manner to speak for themselves. These
things hurt any communtity ; and It Is the
Democrat's place as a public journal, lab
oring for the good of the communities
where it circulates, as well as to disseminate
the news of the day, to warn old and young
who are in the wrong track to turn over a

sent to the State Treasurer the last of Linn
County's share of the State taxes, receiving
a receipt Wednesdey, with the statement
that Linn was the second county to pay its
taxes in full. This speaks highly for the
County, Sheriff Chariton and Mr. Farwell.
Recently In one day $3,000 were taken in
