Checker playing has raged In Albany lately to the spasmodic interest of the M. A. T. and other. Mr. Robert John, of Hal soy, U the champion from that part of the county ; but finds his equal in the bar ber around the corner In this city. Both have recently found their match in a sharp eyed, good-looking young man named Ryan, front Oregon City. There are any number of hap hiuxard player willing to run their heads against a nest of three. O The organ grinder va in Albany la. Friday. The M AT T. immediately re membered hint as one of the melancholy chap he had seen back East In times "agone," at least he was nearly enough like the chronic grinder to be a brother. It was sad to know that his monkey vas dead, but a few extsa flourishes and grimace on his part in a measure made up for the loss. Spring ha come. O The Proltibitioo paper at Snlem is trying to make out every man a whiskey ite who doesn't vote the prohibition ticket at the coming election. That U what we call cranky through and through. Such nar row mindednesa will eventually "knock the spots off" any cause. It at taut doe not confer much credit on the one who put it forth. O Oregon apples do keep just a well as any in the Ea, notwithstanding contrary assertion made. The M. A. T. ha sound ones, good for some time, and it is April, almost May. How are you getting along on the apple questional r. New York er. 0 FL.h are so common in Oregon few peo ple realize what an immense, privilege it is to have fresh salmon every day. The king of fish for eating, eight cents buys a pound ; while on the Atlantic Coast it takes thirty to sixty, making it possible for only bond holders to enjoy the luxury. Webfeet, shake. O It thundered last Fridav once or twice. About two thunders a year is the rule in Linn county. Perhaps we don't have enough electricity in this Valley. Itri Last week we mentioned the fact that surveying parties for the Oregon Pacific w mid start from Albany and near Baker City at about the same time to survey to ward each other a permanent line. The Albany party left here Saturday. A gen tleman from CorvalIis,the first of the week, informed us the Eastern surveying party under Engineer J. F. Carroll,rccently of the work on the Cascade Locks. started out from a point about forty -five mile from the mouth of the Malheur river, and will locate section of twenty -five miles at once. In the mean time the Albany party, our in formant says, will be bound for the north Fork of the Santiam towards the Minto Pass. A our reader are anxious for rail road news of at least some kind they are welcome to the above for whatever they consider in it, and it is our opinion there is much. ar.t of Thau k. Last Saturday night the Tangent Brass Band surprised us by suddenly pouring forth some sweet strains of music just out side the door, and I was led to think that it was in honor of m- seventieth birthday. They were invited into the house and treat ed to birthday cake, but I could in no way express my high appreciation of their kind ness. They certainly play exceedingly well for a band having so little practice. Perfect gentlemanly conduct prevailed among them through the entire evening. I tender my sincere and heartfelt thanks to them and assuredly such act of kindness shall never be forgotten. Mas. Mary E. Webts. frrem I equina. Mr J J Dorri arrived in Albany from the Bay Friday and remained several days. He is now employed by the O P Company at the docks in Yaquina. From Mr. Dor ris we learn that the new warehouse and dock, with their adjustible slip, are in work ing order. Cars now enter the warehouse, where they are unloaded at a level. An adjustible slip, raised and lowered with the tide, makes the loading and unloading of steamers an easy matter. Mr. D. Rankin is the popular Superintendent of the docks The hotel at Yaquina City is being enlarg ed, and the prospects there generally seem to be good for a lively year. Death f Merrer Toomeanu. Mr. Mercer inompson, a pioneer of 53 dieJ at his home near Shedd last Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock, at the age of 64 years. He arose in the morning to come to Albany but was taken suddenly ill with neuralgia of the heart and only lived a few hours. Highly esteemed by all, he leaves many to mourn his loss, among others seven children and a wife. Funeral ser vices took place yesterday afternoon. Sprlsg Cumplslst. Some alleys nsed deodoi izing. Brush the cobwebs away. Treat the immigrant well and make him think he has struck omc friends. Go to work and make it hot for the Celes tial. Colds are almost contagious. Wish the Band boys would give us some music on their horns too. Radish bunches are mostly leaves. Lent is nearly over and just as much meat has been eaten as ever. rBKBST EVENT. Suiger Brothers, of Salem, are going out of the marble business. Salt Creek, Polk county, has begun pre paring its hotel for the large arrival of de feated candidates, which will rush for that place next June. Duck can be killed until May ist, trout until October 30th. Do not shoot deer un til July ist, and then only bucks. After August doe can be shot. Dr J E Klrkpatrick was nominated for the position of Coroner bv the Polk county Democrat. A good nomination. Egg are tremendously low In the East, and hens are melancholy. One of the hats which our lady friends will wear this spring If they keep up with the styles resembles the paper bag In com mon use by grocer. This knocks the aesthetic part. of our nature in the head. Egg parties are in order, Let u have one In Albany. According to the program each lady takes a marked egg. The men draw them from n basket and act as an es cort for the egg depositor. An Albany Chinaman solicits order for ntending umbrellas, on account of the ex ceedingly dull times In the Celestial world here. There is one yhing about the mongo lian, he will even grub for a living ; and,by the way, we hear of a contract being made at $3 an acre. Valley towns arc boasting of the amount of building that will be done during the coming year. Jack Dempsy says he has quit fighting. Jack you know you are a big liar.

The Republican State Convention meets in Portland next Wednesday. Tlte Democrats of Lane county were to hold their Convention yesterday. We un derstand Lark Bilyeu had the inside track for County Clerk. It is now ascertained that it was water that run into the steamer Oregon and caus ed it to sink. A New Yorker offers to run an adver tisement in the Democrat if we will pay him $13.50 in cash. He will throw in a sporting ride. Last week a cyclone struck Western .Minnesota and laid two villages low, caus ing a loss of life of about one hundred. narvstr.
