The Lord outfit in the Third Ward U a disgrace to Albany. Their influence is vl cious on the young of both sexes, Thev are a ceM pool in our fair communtly. Tlicy are not needed here. General reputation should be sufficient to abolish the establish ment they run. It should at least be regu lated. O The M. A. T. was fortunate in being one of a part of about ten last Friday that made a box of melons vanish without the dangers of a midnight raid. Mr Hub Bryant uncer emonlusly threw down an Immense box of melons, water and mush, before the County Oommlssioners and asked them if thev would allow the bill. The proceeded to investigate the matter ancf the result was that every item was allowed. Besides the County Court, Sheriff Smith, County Clerk Galbraith, Treasurer Curl, Justice Dorris and two hunrgy newspaper men were soon up to their ears In rinds, and all universal ly endorsed the action of the Court. A vote of thanks was extended "Huh." O If we get electric lights in Albany our Council will have to pursue a liberal policy. O The placing of the citv's sidewalks In a' passable condition would prove a ten stroke. O The Man About Town hears quite a gen eral demand for stores In the right places. Several could be rented If in trie central block. A Barracks It at. Laat Saturday evening during a meeting at the barracks of the Salvation Army Wm Fails disturbed the peace of those present, when LouU Meyer, one of the members of the Army, ordered him to desist. A fight ensued and Fails was ejected from the build ing. The next day both were arrested, Meyer put up $x and Fail put up at the caliboote. Monday the warrants were with drawn and another complaint made against Fails, but there was no warrant served and he was discharged, Tuesday morning he left for Salem. Fails has taken a bad start In life and needs to hold his horse or he will land where meetings are never disturbed. Boys who think they are doing a big thing In disturbing religious meetings either at a church or the barrack need to have some one tell them that it is the meanest kind of hoodlumUm. If they don't belie c in the Salvation Army men they should leave them alone. It is little persecuflbns that build the Army up. If left alone it couldn't make its salt most of the time. The Dasso ca at regrets being called on so often to mention disturbances around the Salvation Army ; but tlvey seem to be a part of the program so common are they. Another Chapter The Ortgmiam of Friday gives a strange account of an experience In Mattie Allison's life that recently occurred, in Portland. A man catered the house at night where Mrs Parrtsh, Mattie and a son were residing, Miss Minnie being with them at the time, and going to the room of the two young ladies either attempted to chloroform Mattie and carry her off or throw vitriol in her face. Covering her head with the bed clothes and screaming loudly she frightened him a war and aroused the household and neighbors. Two or three saw the man rush from the house and enter a cab in waiting for him and drive off. The matter was kept quiet for two weeks when it leaked out. Mattie s life is being filled with chapters of startling events. The Center of Attraction. Mr. A. 8. Barnes, the well-known New York book publisher, was-recently in Albany on a tour of inspection. Being an investor in the O. P. that road was one of his objects in view. While in the State he made the remark to a gentleman that he considered Albany the finest inland city in the State with the best prospects. He believed it would become the largest city outside of Port. and Jn Oregon, and expressed his con fidence in it by purchasing a fine farm near the city. It is a fact that outside of the State, as well a in it, Albany is the central Clnt on which most eyes are resting. If a did should strike the State it will be one of the first cities to reap a benefit, one that will be permanent, because it has the sur rounding country ,as well as infernal advan tages, to back it. Redaction in Fare. The Oregon Pacific Railroad Co., and the Oregon Development Co. have made a sweeping reduction in passenger fares be tween Albany and Cor vail is and San Fran cisco taking effect September 15th. First class fares have been placed at $10.75 and steerage $6vOO They have also placed on sale first-class round trip tickets at $19.50 each. The above rates are exceedingly low, lower than any one expected to see for manv years yet ; and the fact that the re duction is not made because of pressure of any kind is only another indication of the intention of these companies to give the people the very cheapest rates possible, and to fully merit the proud title ot the "Peo ples Line." A New Book. "Five Thousand Gems for the House hold" is the title of a new book by Mrs M S Fox, of this city. It teaches how to make paper flowers, wool flowers, hair flowers, feather flowers, tinsel flowers, bead work, oainliner. stamnincr. etc. Besides it has a knitting department, a crochet department, a home deoartmet. a cooking and ha Iter's department and "anything and everything.

Below we give the Railroad Commission's finding in the case of overcharges between Tangent and Albany. It fully explain the situation : The facts as shown in the evidence be fore the board are theae : Tangent is seven miles nearly south of Albany, and has been for sumo years a point where constderabla quantities of grain have been heretofore stored. Last year about 70,000 bushels were stored at this point. For the first time laat year the O. P. R. R. began competing with the east side road of respondent. The rates from Albany to San Francisco were S4.50 per ton via Portland ; from Albany to San Fianclsco, via Yaquina was $3 per ton. Efforts were made to get rates from Tan gent to Albany so as to get the benefit of the $3 rate from there to San Francisco. At first $iS per carload was offered ; then ii. and finally $14 was offered by respon dent. These rates were not satisfactory, and thereupon Mr. George Simpson procured teams and hauled 15,000 bushels to Albany, paying therefor $t per ton, when a com promise was reached, and he was offered rates by the respondent from Tangent at $3 per ton to San r rancisco via Portland, which were accepted. In consequence of this state of affairs, It is shown that less than one-half the usual amount of grain will be stored at Tangent this season, the same price being demanded as last year to transport grain from Tangent to Albany. Simpson states that grain can be hauled by teams from Tangent to Albany at $1 per ton It Is shown that'respondent Is now ship, ping wheat from Lebanon to Albany at the rate of $10 per carload, distance 13 miles, and from Goltra to Albany, 7 miles, at $3 per carload. Respondent claims that the charge of $16 per carload from Tangent to Albany is in accordance with the schedule of rates of May 22nd, 188s. This is true when compared with his distance tariff of that date, but that does not make the rate reasonable. Respondent himself seems to haye regarded those rates so obsolete, as on the and of August, i$86, he issued a tariff of rates on wheat "when destined beyond the limits of the state," in which we find the following rates : Distance from Rates in cts. per 100 lbs Stations. Portland. WilUbu wrg. skb. Milwau Clackamas 10 It w HI be Men from this that for six miles respondent's rates were 4 cents per 100 pounds, or $3 per carload of ten tons, and for ten miles it was 6 cents per carload, i .-ow it may oe ciaitncu mat this was lor wheat bound out of the state, but the rate is to Portland, and not to a point out of the State. At the same date, August and, 1885, ( the respondent issues a schedule of rates on the Lebanon branch, from which it appears. as we understand respondent a rule that grain is charged from Goltra to Albany a cents per 100 pound, or S3 per carload of ten tons, and Irom Lebanon, 1 3 miles, c cents per 100 pounds, of $10 per carload of ten tons U charged. It must also be noted that the rates on grain from Tangent to Portland, 86 miles, are lO cents per too pounds, or $20 per carload of ten tons on the respondent's road. From alt these facts the conclusion Is Ir resistible that the charge of $16 per carload of ten tons from Tangent to Albany Is un reasonable and exorbitant, and that a rate of $10 per carload would be a reasonable compensation for such service.
