Thanksgiving for stuffing on turkey, New Years for making dissolving resolutions, Washington's birthday for for petting ; but Christmas is a day of giving, festivity, temperate, sober pleasure.

T. has been requested to ask what has become of the celebrated Keady liquor law ordinance that was written up several months ago, action on which was postponed until one of the August meetings of the Council. As the petition for it waa signed by a majority of the voters of the city there could be no harm done by the Council's voting on it, if nothing more than to see how It would pan out. O Some one ha intimated to the M. A. T. that O P rates from San Francisco wilt gradually rise until no cheaper than by the other route, and that wheat then will again be governed by Portland prices. As this would make a 'difference of four or five cents a bushel it is to be hoped there is no truth to It. We need low rates. O It would be a big thing If one could look ahead a year. Last spring we wosdd have sowed onlv potatoes with an increaser at each hill, or invested in-Virginia con. But we did not. The way of the world will be to do it next Spring, and then some one will get (eft. If potatoes pay this year every body will invest next year. Big horses are demanded now ; hence everybody raises big horses. When old enough to be of ser vice medium horses will be wanted and then people will raise medium horses, which will be of use when big horse become popular ajain. So it goes. 0 The position of the present Postmaster of Albany expires one week from next Mon day. The M. A. T. hears of five applica tions for the position It is now worth $1500 a year, with an allowance of $300 for Clerk. The P. M. pays his own rent. Ofja Harfj. Mr. J as. Mad r, the well known restaur ant man of this city, died from a stroke of apoplexy, last Tuesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock. Mr Mady has been feeble for many years. About a year ago he received a stroke of paralysis, which confined him to his bed for several month-. He partially recovered, though, and has attended to his business regularly for a number of months since, stating a few days previous to his death that he was feeling better than usual, building plans about how he would soon enlarge his block on First street. Tuesday forenoon he began to feel uncommonly bad, and called medical assistance, but the decree of death had gone forth, and Uncle Jimmy" only lived a short time, dying in his private room over his restaurant, at the time stated, at the age of 53 years. Mr Mady was born in England, and came to the United .states when seventeen years of age. For several years he was connected with the culinary department of the Pacific Mail Co' 1 Steamship line. He came to Oregon in about 1870 and to Albany in 1875, when he opened a restaurant, which has paid him remakably well since, enabling him to accumulate a good property valued at $10,000 to $15,000, Strictly attentive to business, always accommodating, smil ingly getting a man a meal at midnight as well as at noon, he obtained a big patron - age, and made many friends Mr Mady was a member of the Lodges of O F and A O U W,of this city, under whose auspices the funeral services took place vesterday. The deceased leaves a faithful wffe, as well aa many genuine friends, to mourn his death. A sVeelesu Baaaway. Last Monday about one o'clock the team ef Chaa. Cumin, while standing in front of Huston's blacksmith shop, became fright ened and ran away. In turning the corner at the Revere House the buggy was tipped over, and the order of the Common Coun cil to clear the street of mud was partially carried out. The team was stopped near the St. Charles, the buggy being mashed into kindling wood. Near Mcllwain's Mr and Mrs Henry Newman, of Miller's were riding, when their team also became fright ened and tried to run. At Read ft Brownell's corner both of the occupants were thrown violently to the ground. Mrs Newman's left arm was broken . She was taken to Dr Wallace's office where the fractured bone was set Mr Newman was somewhat, but not seriously, bruised.

As considerable interest is manifested in the subject we give below the date of ex pi rat ion of the commission of the postmas ters of several cities in Oregon : J M Bacon, Oregon City, Jan 37, 1889.

According to an estimate made in the Ortgomian recently the population of Linn county increased 2.000 from 1885 to 1886, as shown by the census of i8S and the election of June, 1886. The increase in Oregon was put at about 35,000. Estimates of population based on elections are unre liable. In this case, though, it is probable the nail has been hit on the head. Certain ly Linn county is increasing its population at a steady, reliable rate. MeCtetlaa's Ssi atery. This remarkable book ia now out, and is receiving a big sale, not only on account of the celebrated author, but as well because of the interesting nature of the work. Full of reminiscences connected with Gen. Mc- Clellan's life, it also explains manv points often debated. In this respect it will be a valuable book in the hands of the historical student. It is works of this nature that should be in the hands of the people. Mr B F French, of Portland, is now canvassing Albany in the interest of this book, assdden Beads. Last Sabbath evening, Mr John Slppy, of liaise r. sudden! v fell dead at his home in that city. Heart disease was the cause.

T P Goodman then took the floor and addressed the audi ence for one hour on the resolution.showtng up the evil of intemperance and the bene fits that would result to the cttiaena and tax-payers If the saloons and whisky were obliterated. S King then claimed the atten tion of the audience tor tt minutes only, instead of hi alloted hour, said he had been converted to prohibition and could not argue the negative side of resolution. Mr Beard being called for took the stand for 37 minutes and argued for prohibition.

The following from the Boise City Stat tm, will show how things are iiiugraafittf on that end of the O P R R and as well how the road is viewed there : The survey ors of this road recently cross ed over Snake River and located the line from the point of crossing the Oregon Short Line road. They were on this side for only two or three days, just long enough to locate the line tor the distance rtameo, out It is their Intention to return later and con tinue the aurvey up the river. The road will not run to the mouth of the Malheur, aa waa supposed, but a point two or three miles below the can von the survey paaa over a low divide in the hills, and strikes Snake River near the Owyhee River, and crosses the snake near the sevey ferry. making nearly a straight easterly line There are now over ion men at work on the Oregon side In the Malheur country and It Is their intentkai to work all winter at grading. Surveyors are also at work on the eastern side of the Cascade 1 noun talus, and they will continue the work as long as Use weather permits. The road is no completed and In running order from Ya quina Bay to Albany, a distance of nearly too miles', and surveys completed to the Cascade mountains, and the greater portion under contract. The engineers In charge of the work say the road la coming to Boise City. When the road was firat mcorporat ed the terminal points were Y equina Bay and Boise C it v. While v.- have no assur ances from the company u that effect, yet It is generally understood along the line that Boise CUy is te be the eastern terminus. It Is further understood that at this point connection is to be made with the Chicago 8t Northwestern building west. 1 low soon all this will be realized Is Indefinite, but is confidentially expected that inside of two years Boise City will be one of the great trans-continental roads connecting the Pacific Coast with the Atlantic.

The entertainment given by the Erodel phian society, at the College Chapel, on last Tuesday evening, deserved a large audience. It received a small one. Bad weather. Piano solos were heard from Miss Elizabeth Conner. Miss Esther Marshall, Prof Lee and Miss Mildred Burmester. Prof Lee was very deservedly encored, and the others did well. Rev Pritchardand Prof Lee each rendered a vocal solo. In their line, tenor and bass, thev are not often excelled. Mrs Carl Luderm in an 1 Miv Ada Wallace closed the entertainment with a well exe cuted piano duet. The feature of the even ing was the recitations by Miss Kate Downs, of Portland : "ine wind and the Moon," "Lost and Found," a scene from "Ingomar" and the "Fourth of July at Jonesville," besides an answer to an encore. Miss Downs is an elocutionist ot rare merit, whose equal has rarely or never been heard in Albany. Possessing a fine voice, won derfully well control led,excellent expression and a genuine earnestness, she carries an audience with her, making tt appreciate the force of the production. Her rendition of the scene from Ingomar. particularly, was masterly, and as Tosiah Allen's wife she stood on the top round. It is to be hoped Miss Downs may sometime recite m Al banv before such an audience as she de serves. Clvaa Away.
