T. a few days ago for two bit to get his dinner with. Of course he failed to get it. Then he tackled the Marshal on the same lay out, when he was escorted towards the caliboose, but was a pretty good runner and got away. In terviewing Constable Montelth sometime afterwards he was told that he could get a meal if he would go along with him. The fellow was boasting about how he got away from the Marshal when he was turned to wards the "a liboose. much to hit chagrin. $1.55 w found lodged in his pockets In dicating that he was not liable to starve right away off. He was a typical fellow and is a good example of the kind of men people harbor when thev give to the mis cellaneous horde that afflicts our back doors, as well as business places. 0 Chinamen seem to have a natural anti pathy to paving their ferriage across the river at this" city, and nearly always try to plav the "dead broke" dodge on the ferry man. Pat, though, is equal to the occasion, and lavs out several Celestials every day. It alwavs brings the money. In fact it is so cfikracious that as soon as one of the heathens begins to hesitate Pat begins to use his sledge hammers. This may be a pointer to otber men in other lines of busi new.

It was the escape of so much gas and oil from wells in recent years. This oil and gas buineM should be stopped. o Albany's gambling den should be closed, whether run bv Celestials or white men. O Our citizens should take a greater pride in having good side walk. As a matter of fact though our sidewalk compare with those of our neighboring cities, and are su perior to those of some. I a porta at Hales. The first of the week D B Monteith sold the two lots, southwest corner of First and Broadalbin streets, occupied by Read Si Browneli and Fred Goetz, to Mr John Con ner. for $8000. This is one of the beat lo cations on Front Street, and will always be a valuable property. On Wednesday evening Mr Monteith conveyed all the estate sold under the as signment of Tho Monteith ; including the mill property, his interest in the square, fiats, etc., and excluding the home property and his interest in the corner property, mentioned above, to Col T Edgenton Hogg, for $30,000. The transaction speaks for itself. Beeaase lasaae. Last Monday Jos. Nimchkk, who killed young Rey at Jordan in this county, two or three years ago, was taken before Coun ty Jdge Shaw, at Salem, adjudged insane and taken to the asylum. Hi life ha been an unfortunate one lately. When the shoot ing occurred Nimchick had a farm. It took it to defend him. After serving a year in the penitentiary he settled in Marion county, where he has resided since. He has a wife and seven children. The remem brance of the shooting of Rey preyed on hi mind until he lost the use of it entirely, re sulting as stated above. Twm r. OV A post office has been established at Leng's station, on the line of the Narrow Gauge Railway, and called Spicer post office, which will prove a great convenience to the large farming community between Albany and Lebanon, as the office will have a daily marl, being also directly situated on the Al bany and Lebanon stage route.

We stated last week that the next freight from San Francisco would come to Albany entirely by rail. Such was the program $ but this was changed and the "Three Bit tors" brought it. The road, though, will be ready for the next cargo. Rail are laid to within about three-fourths of a mile of the bridge. At the prevent time a twitch is being laid to the sand bar nearly opposite the city In order to obtain gravel for ballast ing. The bridge will not be completed be fore Nov. tat, If by that time. It was reported "that grading would be be gun this week between Albany and the Santiam. when It will begin it it impos sible to learn, though several campers are watting for business near this cltvand make constant inquiries. Railroad work like all ther things it subject to delay. Sufficient of the amount required to te. cure the machine and car shops at this city had been raised yesterday, and the matter was to be closed last "evening. Already Albany is experiencing the advantage of the establishment of these shops here. The large amount of property being pur. chased by Col Hogg here exhibits the con fidence of the management in Albany and that this city will be made the center of op erations.

The foot bridge on First Street, at Cherry' foundry, was reported In a dangerous con dition by the Marshal, and he was ordered to repair the same. The sewer on Broadalbin street was re ported extended to Ninth street by the City .Surveyor, who stated that the slough near Graham's could now be drained into It The Committee on the railroad ordinance reported without recommendation. The ordinance wat amended and referred back to the committee. Bids for extending Broadalbin tewer to Eighth street, were opened and the contract was let to Fred Lumberg at $t8o a foot, work to be finished in forty day, his bonds being placed at $too. Where sidewalks had been ordered re paired and the work had not been done the Marshal was directed to do the same, and with the Recorder, assess the cost against the owner of the property. The Recorder was Instructed to employ an Attorney to prepare proper forms for notifications, etc. The Recorder was directed to give notice that the sidewalks adjoining George Simp son's property and the foot-bridge at Cherry foundry be repaired.

The following published in the Oregomimu Friday, show- how Mr. J. II. Burkhart stands in the eyes of the State Agricultural Association That paper though didn't have the manhood to admit its error in its charges of several days previous : Salem. Sept. at st, 1 886. To the editor of the Oregomimu ; I notice in to-day's issue of your paper . a statement reflecting severely upon Mr. I. H. Burkhart, of AibariV, as one of the ticket agents at the State fair. I hasten to correct that statement, and hope you will do Mr. Burkhart the justice which he deserve in the column of The Oregon. Mr. Burkhart ha been ticket agent at several of the State fairs in Oregon, I and I have not the slightest hesitation in I saying that he is one of the moat reliable I and truly honest men in this State. He is charged on my books with every ticket that he took out of my office, and Is credit ed with cash turned in and tickets returned, not sold. That balances hi account, as my ledger will show. It is impossible for ticket agent to swindle the .board. He is charged with all the tickets he receives from the secretary, and must return cash for them, or return the tickets. Hon. s. D Gibson, of Polk county, was associated with Mr. Burkhart at the railroad ticket of fice, and knows fully as to the amount of money taken in at that office, and of the settlement with the Secretary, as the ledger account i with Burkhart and Gibson. Please give this letter a place in your col umns, as Mr. Burkhart deserves this state ment from me. Yours very truly, J. T. Grrog. Sec. Oregon State Board of Agriculture. Mirk Mail "Sick and discouraged no money among stranger I have concluded to end a miserable existence. Let the world not judge me too harshly. I have taken three grain of morphine. No one knows what I have suffered." The above is the note found on a stranger lying on the Revere House steps Friday evening about eight o'clock. The man, dressed like a laborer, was taken to No. i's Engine house, where Dr. Ellis attended him and brought him out from the effect of the morphine after several hours work, so that in the morning he was up and in his usual - I I . , v ... , poor neann. iv uemix:rat man cat tea on 1 him, when he was shown papers showing his name to be James Morgan, and that he was born in Lane county. He had in his possession a discharge from the regular army. It indicated that he had enlisted in the regular army Nov. 29th, 1884, at Fort Klamath, where he was stationed. He was discharged in Oct, 1885, for disability ; be ing afflicted with sciatica,since which he has not been able to work. His age was 31, He said that he had studied the matter for some time and he Had come to the conclu sion that he would be better dead than alive. Morgan has a brother and married sister in Eastern Oregon. His parents are dead. Extend Ike Uaalts. The "fire limits" of Albany should be ex tended at once. Only brick buildings should be erected within a certain limit. I'rompt action now will make our city much safer, in the future. If prosperous time shall transform some of the wooden cinder boxes on First Street into two story bricks some thing will have been gained of great value. Tear down ihe shanties and put up some bricks. Valae mt Properly, A piece of property in this city which was offered for sale about a year ago for $1600 is now held at $6000. Another property has increased from $8,000 to $15,- 000 : another from $2000 to 84.000, etc. Such figures are bound to prevent many large tales ; yet they make things look like businest. The Pablle Hchool. The attendance at our public school has steadily increased since the first day and now numbers nearly o. Seats for furn ishing a new room have been received.

Last Sunday afternoon a fight was in dulged In, in this city, between George Mason.a workman on one of the pile driveraJ at the bridge, and a Celestial, with head quarters at San Wa't. The fight was just about even, considerable blood Iminjr drawn on both sides. $ and com paid the tid dler. Sundav evening a raid was made on Chi naman Wo's gambling den.on Ferry Street, in this dtv. bv five nolkemrn. when three of the Celestials were captured. Several, though, by twisting and squirming escaped. Pile of American and Chinese money were taken ; but the City Treasury was not enrich ed by the operation, as it was decided that they could not be held, as no one saw any money change hand. Their money was re turned and they were discharged. Several of the gambler were Portlander. Tlur game was tan. Many of the Chinese laborers, who come to the city Saturday night, ioe every cent they have made, often lacking money to pay their return ferriage across the river. While going for Chinese gamblers we suggest that there are several white dens In thU city that need looking after. A raid would often reveal a big pile on the table. There is this point in the mailer. The Celestials rob each other ; white gamblers rob the country boy, the clerk, the printer and the laborer who need their money for other purpose, but then what is the use of wasting powder. Gambler insist on raking in the pile during the absence of officers. Last Sunday a Celestial crossing on the ferry kicked because he was charged fifteen cent, when CarotheraVho was running the ferry, struck him a heavy blow just a they were approaching the landing on this side. $5 made it even with the city on Monday. What a Walla Walla raper Mays The Walla Walla Stattsma of recent date has an able four column article on Ya quina Bay, the Oregon Pacific, etc., show ing up the Importance of the road in a com mercial tight in a striking manner. The following will be particularly interesting to our reader : Thk line, which is to be the main factor in connecting Vaquina with the outer world. and its source of continued growth and prosperity, is at the present completed from Vaquina Bay to Corvallis, on the Willam ette river, a distance of seventy -one mile. During the present month the cars of the Oiegon Pacific railway will have reached the prosperous city of Albany, in the heart of the Willamette' Valley, which will obvi ate the necessity of running light-draft steamers on the river ,as feeders to the road. Albany is an able-bodied town, all its local industries being run by water-power, from a grist-mill down to a printing pre. ThU town has about 4,500 people and has hither to done most of its trading through Port- Jand, but the completion of the Oregon Pa cific railroad to that point will turn all iu traffic to Vaquina Bay, to which point Al bany has already shipped the bulk of last year's grain crop. Within a few weeks the new grain will be going to Vaquina, because this transportation line carries grain from Albany to San Francisco for about the same rates as the old "East Side" road used to charge to carry It from Albany to Portland. No subsequent reductions on the part of the latter corporation will ever be able to re gain this lost traffic, for the farmer of the Willamette Valley recognize the Oregon Pacific as their true friend in time of need and will stand by it. Nor is it supposed that the trade of Albany and vicinity will alone turn toward the city on the Bay, as from that point almost the entire Willamette valley will be easily reached by short feeders which can be cheaply constructed. By this means the country north and south , : . . , ' Albany will make thk their shipping point, to a great extent Vmr Sevea Year. Mr. John Briggs, Volunteer Observer Signal Service, U. S. A. has just issued a neat card showing the rain fall each month for seven years. Those who think Oregon a webfoot place will be disappointed in the record. The annual rainfall. is as follows for each year ending Aug. 31st : 1880 45.07 inches 1881 3.74 inches 1882 inches 1883 46.34 inches 1884 42x7 inches 1885; 36,56 inchct 1886 41.18 inches Average, 44.30 inches We call this an excellent showing. Dur- i ing the seven years the greatest precipita tion any one month was in February, 1881, when 13.00 inches of ram fell. Asa rule half the fall is during the three winter months, the record of fsll and spring being nearly the same, tut of summer nominal, I the greatest rainfall any summer for the seven years being 5.03 inches in I884. In !53 it was .30 inches. Preaching. Rev. D. C. McFarland of the M. E.
