T., always after point, gives the following, clipped from an Ax. because It bat one : "Dr. Howard Crosby in mak ing a plea for high license before a New York audience taid : 'If you bad a tiger roaming around New York City wou'.d you not seek to confine him in as small a space a possible ?' A Prohibitionist cried out so at to be beard throughout the hall. 'No, shoot him.' The learned doctor finished his speech under verv great embarrass ment. O Sometimes the 11. A. T. makes a remark that pinches ; but he Is not vindictive and only does so because be believes it to be bis duty. The rule is for newspaper items to be one-sided, written merely for policy. A reform is needed. O A huge number of moderately small cot tages would rent rapidly in this city. The demand at present is brisk for them, with none to let. O The If. A. T. without much observation baa '.earned That neither weather nor life is ally sun shine. That one has to pay for a great many useless bones in a very short career. That politics make 'lean pocket books. That the leanest dog runs the fastest. That the greatest miser is the moat despised. That thing half attended to arc back acting. That exaggeration does not pay if it does sometime boom. That the hoodlum and his monev are soon parted. chestnut-. It looks very much to the M. A. T. as if the vicinity around the comer of First and Ellsworth streets was becoming the pugili tic center of the city. Since the famous mill between Vance and Froman two other encounters have occurred ; but unlike the first they have not all been heavy weights. O The M. A. T. begs to acknowledge one ot the pleasantest serenades in his expert ence, las Saturday evening, just as Mor pheua was taking "hold of him. The mem bers of the Mechanic's Band were the guilty ones, Charles Pierce leader. They are do ing tome splendid playing, and, on this par ticular occasion, though music always sounds best when heard dreamily, it seemed asi f the valves to their horns were marvel lously well supplied with well c horded plia bility, and old Levy himself had furnished them with power. CONTAINING rVrH Ochoco Rtvkw : - Mots-backlsm no long er is to retard the growth of Print v II le. Its Influence was broken last Manday when the school tax waa voted. We may now expect to see seme thrift and enterprise displayed in our town. Kugene City Rgittr : The Siattsmam is booming Salem by publishing a list of improvements about to be commenced. We are glad to note the activity, but it they just come up this way they can see more than double the list they have published already actually begun In "Eugene and vet our peo ple think we are having quiet tfmet. Grants Pass Courier : -The tact is, we are a thorough bred lop-eared Dutchman, And we beg pardon It we sin by speaking our thoughts as has always been the custom ot our nation. Oregon City Etrrise It pays. What pays Judicious advertising. Benton Leader : -It is an open secret that the game law Is violated In the killing ot grouse. It would be an effective preventive of this to organise a club and remorselessly prosecute the offenders ; that Is to say, if It Is really desirable to protect grouse. Corvallls Ckromch : -Mr. Cole and Mr. Struble da not care to undertake a defense of their religious conduct against attacks either hypocritically covert or boldly and abusively open. Upon any question which concerns or Interests the public, they are not unwilling to measure strength and dexterity with the brother, It so be that he desires to engage in such a passage. Pendleton E. O. : Nova Scotia wants to secede and be admitted as on ! the I'nited States. Now does anv otu ow Nova Scotia's politics ? Portland Xrn-s : Tlie advertising patrons of the .Ve-irj continue to crowd its columns. in the largest dailv journal north often Francisco, we are still enabled to give a arge amount of reading matter and at the same time find space for the advertiser. . Ashland TuUhjfs : -A gentleman stepped into the Tiding office yesterday and said he was just from l.tnn county ; that the last thing he remembered seeing before he left was an unfortunate Webfoot plowing up ground on which the mud and water was ankle deep ; that it had been raining nearly every dav there tor the past month, and farming seemed to be an amphibious occupation. Wait until you hear of our immense bar- vest in the fall and then howl. Koseburg PlaimiettUr : -Hundreds of our farmers from all parts of Douaias county have, without a single exception, declared that thev never had finer prospects far a heavy yield of fruit. The fact is, we have not bad any frost to hurt anything, and never have any frost here to hurt anything. What is all this smoke about anyway.

Financial, etc., exhibit of the several School Districts of Linn courtly, for the school year ending March 7th, 1887 : The following table will show the num berof the districts in Linn county, the number of persons between 4 and to years of age In each district forming the basis of apportionment for the school year ending on March 7th, 1887, the amount of money received by each district from the County and State during the school year ending on March 7th, 1887, the number of months of public school taught in each district for the same year the amount of money each dis trict paid out during the same year for teachers' wages, and the amount of money held over or in the District Clerks hands on March 7th, 1887. The cants in every case being omitted. In some districts the amount pai.i to teachers includes some balance that were due on the previous years wages of teachers and In other cases some amounts do not represent the full amount paid or to be paid out for teachers' wages for the rea son that there are balances yet due and which wilt be paid out of the April appor tionment of this present year. However H is believed thai the figure show a fair aver, age ot the amounts paid out yearly tor teac hers' wages, i li! I Against Hi feat Wheel. An ordinance passed by the Common Council Tuesday evening prohibits the rid ing of bicycle, tricycles and unicycle any where in the Hrr its of Albany on sidewalks. This if enforced will knock the tricycles of the small boy out entirely as well as the only large tricycle run by an Albany lady. .Speaking of tncvciea, they have been run continually on First Street, though a much greater nuisance than bicycles, which are not a nuisance in the right place. If the ordinance is to be enforced against bicycles it certainly should against the tricycle of the bey, though it will deprive him of a most healthful enjoyment Treat the big and small hoys alike. The Salvationists. The Salvation Army has readied Albany in their grand march on sinners : several girls and a tew young men, and propose camping here indefinitely. This is a free country and it is one of our glorious privi leges to worship in such manner as we see fit. If there is a class of people who think the proper way is after red jackets and gilt bands, to the tune of the tambourine, they have a light to do it that way so far as we are concerned, and should not be molested. It takes a big variety of people to make up this wor!d,and so let's treat the Salvationists decently. Two siiverton farmers are having a warm dispute with printers ink on the subject of money In wheat at 75 cents a bushel. Ac cording to Mr. Allen, evidently a pesssimist, the profit on wheat is only about 50 cents an acre on the average, by the way a verv foolish thing to claim. Mr. T. T. Geer, an optimist, shows how a Mr. Adam Burns rented a farm, paid a third of its products for rent, in four or rive years trot out of debt, and now owns a three horse team, self binder, plows, interest in threshing ma chine, recently went on a trip to Canada, came hack with monev in his pockets, and can go to more dances than any man In the country. Off thirty acres Mr. Geer sold $900 worth of wheat, at an expense of only his own time except tor threshing. He figured his net income from that one field at $800. In 1S84 when wheatfwas 55 cents he cleared $1000 from it. Besides this he raised looo bushels of oats, 1000 bushels of potatoes and 100 bushels of corn, and hence claims he knows what he is say ing when he states that farmers can make money raising wheat at even 5O cents a bushel. Mr. Geer's figures candidly given do show that the hardworking farmer, who is economical, temperate, etc., can save money. It requires management on the farm the same as in the store. Aa The StaUtmtm has been a careful reader of the Albany Drmocrat for some time, and this paper had been led Into the belief that the population of that city numbered some ten to twenty thousand. Now after a very careful round-up, the census taker has found twenty-five hundred people.including men, women.children.old maids Chinamen, Indians, students and the cemetery. We have nearly that many In the asylum and penitentiary, and that part of our population is Increasing at the rate of ten to twenty per month. When tlie editor of the Staitsmam wrote the above he counted himself for about two thousand insane and convicts, such is the immensity of his bis headednc. Take him and the asylum and penitentiary out of Salem and a mere way station is left. And what an enormous Eli Perkins, when he states that he has been led from leading the Democrat that our population is from ten to twenty thousand. The Democrat has been uncommonly conservative In its claim in this respect and ha even extended Its conservatism in estimating Salem's popula tiun, and there is the rub. Last week this paper very frankly admitted that it consid ered the private census taken about correct It has never claimed more. i iU 1 n t M I At 4 r rat a 1 n a ttt V It 10 t 11 . es It 7 IS 0 14 a m er m sis 17 TT 15 OS 19 U ft T tl st as ss si 54 tO u as at as ST SI 55 47 SS Si ss ss Si M st t SS S4 M M Sft 41 SS 7ft ST ST as SS J 40 SS 41 t it IBS as 44 tl 4ft 40 48 SO 47 SS 4f S4 49 48 so as ft!

Wallace, residing a few miles from this city was re turning home horse back, being followed by his son in a wagon, when the latter team ran away, the wheel of the wagon having gone into a hole.throwiug the driver out, frightening the horses. Mr. Wallace saw the team coming, and driving along be side them caught hold of one of the horses when his saddle gave way and he was pulled off in front of the running horses. Catching hold of the neck yoke he was dragged several hundred yards, when most fortunately the team was stopped by Mr. G. M. Coffey, of this citv, who was hunting in the vicinity. Had Mr. Wallace let go or been thrown off he would in all probability have been killed. Pluck and a firm grip saved him. A Kl roavralsoea. Under the new arrangement a special train will run between A I ban v and Lebanon twice each way every day except Sabbath when it will run once each way so as to connect with the ( x ('. through trains. The new time table on the branch road wit be a great improvement. The prospects are that the mail will be carried on one of tlte trains in a closed pouch, dotntf away with the present abominable system. The morn ing train leaves Lebanon at 5 a. -m .arriving at Albanv at rtj, connecting with the ( Sc C. from the South ; leaves Albany lor Lebanon at 12:50, after the arrival of both noon trains, arriving there at 1 p. m. leaves Lebanon again tor Albany at 2 p. m., arriviog here at 2:45 p. tn., and again starts for Lebanon at 8:10 p. mim mediately after the departure of the through train, arriving there at 8 : 56. By this new arrangement all kinds of people, early risers and late risers, drummers and pleasure seekers are being completely suited. Forward A city progresses forward when it take the hose off the main business street. It is an indication that it is getting up in the world. No metropolitan city allows it. The wooden tank neatly painted and covered with attractive display advertisements lea thing indicating growth. How would hose look along the active, bustling streets of Portland, even Salem. They are all right on residence streets anywhere ; but watch the growing city and you will see them vanish from the business streets. The Maoager Back. Wm. M. Hoag, Manager, Vice Presi dent, etc., of the Oregon Pacific, arrived in Albany overland from California, on last Monday, and from here went to Cor va His. Something active is now looked for. Al bany people are anxious to witness the con struction of the machine and car shops sub scribed for in this city, and the completion of the road eastward this, year to Camp Polk, or thereabouts. We should keep quiet, though, and remember that great bodies move slow. A X acting of the Council. Tuesday evening the Common Council held a special meeting. The Recorder was directed to adyertise for bids for a bridge across the Canal at Thurston and Water streets. The Police Ordinance to correspond with the new charter, waa unanimously passed. A cow Ordinance, prohibiting the run uing at large of more than two cows owned by one person, and none between the hours of 9 p. in. and 6 a. m. ; a nuisance ordin ance prohibiting,many and divers nuisances, including the use of barbed wire on fences. thistles, etc. ; a wash house Ordinance pro viding for a quarterly license of $5, and regulating them generally, were introduced, and read by title. Changed Plate. Last Thursday afternoon Mr J R Stew artson, of this city, sold his dray business outfit and residence property to Mr George Cooper, an old resident of Linn county, for $5,140, taking in exchange Mr Cooper's farm property five or six miles east of this city, at $7,590. Mr Stewartson will become a farmer and Mr Cooper a drayman. Not Eathaslastio. Topics for discussion at the State Fire i men's Association meeting" at Vancouver in June have been assigned. Jos Webber,Chief Engineer Hoffman and O H Irvine get topics. There is no enthusiasm in Albany . over the tournament and probably no team will go from this city Salem ditto.

No 1 held Monday evening, C W Watts, Al Ketchum and Walter Parker were elected members of the Board of Fire Delegates. A committee consisting of Jos Webber, C H Stewart and VV Monteith was appointed to petition the Council for a new steam fire engine. Jos Webber, C W Watts and Al Ketchum were appointed a committee to make arrangements for a firemen's picnic. Verily, No. i's are going to be heard from. A Kledgf Hammer. On complaint of Adrian Comely a negro going by the name of Davis was arrested by a warrant from Justice Humphrey's Court last Tuesday , on a charge of stealing a sledge hammer. He had lieen cutting wood for Mr. Comley, when the sledge hammer disappeared. The negro claimed it was ac- cidently dropped m the Ditch, and on ex amination it was found there. The defend ant therefore was discharged. Thrifty people will appreciate mr values and pries. Reap & Brown ell, Surgical Operation n. E. Katrtaiameat. The members of th M. E.
