A MAN ABOI'T TOWN, Tlie Sheriff of Linn county ha assessed over Joo tax-payer in the county. Nad these and their families been included in the census it would have increased the pop ulation of the county at least 1 500. There H every reason to believe the population of the county U nearer 14,000 than it, 00a In the recent apportionment an Inn ease of population of only 8 would have given the county one more representative. The M. A . T. is simply stating facts, and is not finding faul, for the same defect is to be noticed all over the State. The fact is, the system of having the assessor take the cen sus, is a very poor one, and 1 not economy by arty means. O Albany should celebrate the 4th of July the coming summer. It is our turn. We speak early so as to shut off the small places round about, like Corvallls and Sa!em. O The number who like to have things told them that they already know is simply im mense ; and this is why the phrenologist has so many calls. People are anxious to be told that they are too loving, their bump of alimentativeness is big and they had bet ter stay at home nights ; that they are pug nacious, or lack vitalitv, ought to have been old bachelors, a stock raiser or saddler The M. A. T. has had his head examined several times by experts .resulting in a mar vellous variety of opinions, only agreeing on a few points. Yet there is considerable in phrenology ; but it is not every one who can manipulate a thick skull so a to change its bnmps every few years. O Salem is to have a genuine white laun dry. No slipshod affair. One in Albany, run in a thorough business way, first-class work being done by skillful laundry men, would pay well. To illustrate. The M A. T. has often pumped our Celestials in -reference to the amount of business done At the present time San Wa washes for about one hundred families, for which he receives from 50c. up weekly per family, the average being not quite a dollar, besides a large amout of transient work. The Teng Hcng establishment does nearlv as much and No. 3. near Devoe X' Rohson's less All together it is probable over juu a week Is paid the Chinamen of Albany for wash ing. The advantage that would follow from giving this to white men is evident. But it can never be done until thorough workmen start a laundrv here. Meal Kaiser and Tearhers. If phrenologist Morris' advice were fol lowed Albany and Linn county would be stocked with stock raisers and school teach ers, witn no one left to run our banks, law offices and stores. The Professor, though a pretty good phrenologist, seems to be a stickier for putting most of his patients in one of these occupations. As a matter of fact experience here proves that it takes more than a love for animals to make a man a good stock raiser, and more than a power to please to make a good school teacher. ATKAMKDY. Mkootlag at 8ek. Our correspondent at 5k lo sends us the following account of a serious shooting af. fray that occurred about one and a half miles from that city last Monday afternoon about J o'clock, between Frank Harris and John Craft : "It appears that some trouble was existing between both parties over a calf, that has been going on for a few months, that some cattle men had been buying calves through the country, and the Harris boys had accused the Craft Brothers of selling their calf, and they had chosen this day to come and look through the cat tle men' herd and see if they could llnd It. Upon a search they did not find It ; but in returning in some way met with the Craft Brothers, on the main road to Sclo, and a quarrell commenced, In which Matt Craft and George Harris got into an old fashion ed tight, and during the fight between these too, Frank Harris came up behind John Craft, standing near, and shot him in the back of the neck with a 38 calibre pistol, the ball loging near the juglar vein. Two stockmen near hv were witnesses to the af fair." Dr. Hill, of this city, and Dr. Dodd, were sent for, and attended the wounded man. The ball went through a heavy over coat, undercoat and collar Into the neck, settling down near the juglar vein. It has not been extracted vet. Craft will probably recover 'hough It Is very uncertain. Harris was arrested Tuesday morning by Deputy Sheriff Daly and examined before Justice Williams. He was held to await the action of the tirand Jury without bail, and was brought to this city Wedne sday and placet) in the county jail. Cosmos Couaell. Tuesday, March 8th, 18&7. P 1 event All officers and members. The application of Sanders, referred at last meetlng.to put up a windmill north end of Fcrrv Street, was disallowed. Petition for sidewalk along block 9O was referred to Committee on Streets and Public Property.

TROT. RJiti Democrat : Mr. Simpson announces that my chal lenge to him has been accepted by J. W. Shannon. I have nothing to say about this as I consented for Mr. Shannon to sign the article of agreement, as Brother Simpson did not fecldlsposed to do so. There is one thing In connection with this, however, t ti.it I think not out of place here : The blank left in the article to be filled out with the name of colt, etc., after taking deliberate choice of the two. Mr, Shannon stuck his signature to the agreement without fillinu out said space, and insists on waiting until the day of the race to name the one. Very well we will not spoil a good race for to small a thing as that. Mr, Shannon and me for It then. Now Brother Simpsou, allow me to con gratulate you on slipping out of this thing so gracefully. You will now have an op portunity of seeing a race, where if your man wins you can slip in tor a share of the honors, if he loses then you had nothing to do with it. I want you to understand I am pretty thoroughly 'on to you," and want you to distinctly 'understand that you was the man I was after not J. W Shannon at all. I am not challenging people to trot races unless they denounce me as a wind hag or soineting of that nature. 1 was more than anxious to place you, Mr. Simpson, in the position you seemed to he so anxions for, where you could receive again the ap plause of the grand stand, hence my more than liberal proposition. Now I will consider briefly as possible a few points in your effort of last week . You say yea hay never claimed any thing as a breed sr of borsss. Is it possible that yoa Dover have after pointing to mod ones yau have sold, promising yet on hand ? Would you please stats in next weeks tssne of this paper, if you claim nothing aa a breeder, why you didn't keep attil in the first pleee You say again thst I hsve bean so unfortunate as to geod mares task no man who owned a fine stallion would consider a soli sufficient ad vertisement, etc, Now each mansuvering to grind an axe for "Alwood Breess" is nauseat ing in the extreme . It would hetomethiog remarkable if I should develop a winner cat of one ooinmes msre in this rsoe, wbde yoa had daring the m sting season of 1884 yoar eutiro harem of choice- bred mares to pick from and all the line bred stallions in Ihe land at yoar service free of charge Ai.d what is more, you say I never paid so much as $50 for the service of a stall ios or the "siring of a oolt,' as you term it. 'Have that as you Itkf itthat 1 dtdn t pay but $2 50 -all I oars for ia to know that I rued a- oolt that yoa were afraid to mee, 1 de uat think any ol my neibtors testimony is nec essary in this osvee. I paid jast what the owners of the stallion required. I have not started oat as a jockey yet, Brother Simpson this u a trotting race, remember I am much too heavy for a jockey - I believe they weigh not to exoed 120 pounds Now for the Wm Gird story. I allowed a mso to start a eolt for me in the race, never bad a cent bet on the race, neyer said I had. was defeated, submitted, tkink my oolt ought to have won, hot he didn't . And, last of all yoo think what I have had to any some friend wrote for me. 1 do net encase anybody else ot it, or of wi itmg yours either ; they are eharaoteristie I tbfok and bear unmistakable evidence of originality. Now, Brother Bimpeoo, in ooocTneioo, let me say, whenever yoa eome oat again in print without any cause whatever, and esll me a wiad bag (after hie race is trotted,) you are very liable to have to ttet or de as yoa did this time. "Emblaaon this on th wells of your msmory, and don't forget it, either.' Wal. F. Hanaown. SCHOOL MKKTIV. NOT HF.U.

In view of the fact that it is nearly time for new corners from the East, with eyes open for permanent homes to put in an ap pearance, a few suggestions an to what should be done in Albany witldn a short period, will be in place : Repair your sides walks. Pass a cow ordinance. Clean out your back alleys. Dress up your front and back yards. Contract for some paint for your house and fence when the sun comes out. Put some electric lights in your store.

Lust week Portland hod a genuine prison putzle. Charley Rots solved it, and at last count had noi been captured. Congress adjourned on Friday. The State Immigration board will proba bly be kept up by subscription, No com plaint will be made at this. It would be a favor to the cow counties, though, if the Board would select a new Secretary. W W Sweeney, of Portland, has sued Mcleod Si Co. for $670, services In lobby ing the fish wheel hill out of the Legisla ture. Ah, now we see thtough this lobby ing business. Sweeney was paid $90 ; but that did not satisfy him. Grant county has paid $3163.35 bounty on wild animals since Jan, 17th. Swamp land men evidently came out on top by the action of the last legislature. At least they claim to be satisfied. Hen Owens asserts that It was worth $3o,ox to him. Fruit trees were Injured by the cold snap in some parts of the Valley ; but the dam age was small.

The Salem Siufimm savs six counties have paid their Stale taxes in full and gives the list, leaving Linn county out Asa mat ter of fact, this was the first county in the State to pay it State taxes. Figuring on the presidency for 1888 is taking up many reams of good paper, with out much chance of any definite aaswer to the problem until after the conventions and election. The race will be an intensely In teresting one. on account of the uncertainty that Is bound to characterise it.
