The outlook in Linn county, according- to the M A. TV obsen-atsons, "hi that In No vember there will be three vote cast for the prohibitory amendment to two against It. ThU will give a majority of at leant 6oa In some precTncU the proportion will he 5 to 1 j hut the general average mav he counted on as stated with chances in favor of an in creased vote for the amendment. Men everywhere who have the Interest of the home circle at heart, as the fanning com munlty has, will vote yea, and at the same time there is no one having a higher regard for personal liberty of the genuine kind. This cry of personal liberty Is a mere ex cuse to catch the unwary. It would be as reasonable to favor theft in order to equal Ue property that we might have personal lib erty. feraoiud liberty, has no place iu an argument when the good of the State is at take. An institution that causes nine tenths of the crime of the world 1 at least cental to the crime and should be abolished. A nox ious weed, though many like Its sting, should be taken up by the roots, even though a few seeds are left that will spring up. A good spade will keep them down. How can a man wno lovea his own family vote for something that curses half of his neighbors' O The M A. T. has just read with a grt deal of sadness the following Item in an Eastern paper : "Oregon Imports much of the butter she consumes, though there is no better dairy country in the world than Ore gon. O Every young man earning even small wages should make it a point to save some thing every month if only a few dollars. The time always comes when he will bless himself for having done so. The average Albany young man saves It out of the little end of the horn, and not a cent has he for a Webfoot day. O The sight of a hand of Indians in our city Saturday was not uninteresting. With new blankets of bright hues, some long haired, many with mocassins, they paraded our streets and viewed the many sights of inter eat along our thriving mart, put t here by man's ingenuity and industry. Is It possible an Indian never is ambitious to do some thing that has bottom to it. Is he always content to be a goverment hireling. Yea, verily, the red man is about where he was when Columbus landed on our shores, only more so, and much less in blood and thun der. The henvitst Individiuil tax-payer in Linn county is Jacob Kees, residing a few mites this side of Lebanon. He pavs taxes on over S2,ooo. ine first time A smith assessed Mr Kee several years a the first two hgure. were reversed. Kees by saving uearlv every cent, he and his money and propeity have earned now heads the list. SidiBc np to Each Other. For long time the O. & C and O. P. have been at "outs," but we are glad to no tice that they are likely to be at "ins." It will be to their mutual advantage. Already cars are transferred over the Oregon Pacific between Albany and Corvallis from the O. & C. R. R. east and west side, started by a swindling circus too, and it is understood mutual arrangements will be made by which freight will be forwarded on each others roads in an amicable manner .and as welt by which the switch along Water Street may be used by both companies, something that will be of great advantage to the city as well as the roads, though property owners will lose some good right of way fees by the operation. A combination between the two road..und it is bound to follow, will do away with any necessity of building a branch road to Portland.of which there is not much likelihood, much less to Salem, though the fact would not a fleet Albany materially. Tuesday the combination was made as anticipated, and hereafter the two roads will reciprocate favors, using the same switch in this city, and, it is stated will use the O & C depot here'jointly, the O P switch be ing extended to the O Si C depot, where also freight facilites will be provided. AH suits have been withdrawn. It is probable the O P depot will not be built, as intended before the combination. The movement is an important one, and will enure to the benefit of Albany. Tried to Snlride. On Thursday of last week S. W. Hite.thc milkman, attempted to commit suicide by taking a dose of laudanum, having purchas ed the deadly drug the day before, claiming it was for a sick child. Dr Masten was sent for and brought the unfortunate man out all right after two or three days treatment. Mr. 1 lite was tired of life, or thought he was. owing to financial troubles, the milk business being poor here.on account of eycry cow owner in the city being a miikman,and took the laudanum road in order to flee from troubles he lacked the courage to face. That is an unfortunate condition for a human be ing to be in ; but it is becoming a frequent one. This is too good a country to suicide in, and it is a fact that the number of at tempts here is comparatively small. The Stats Press Association Meeting. The meeting of the State Press Associa tion at this city on October 14th, promises to be an interesting one , one our citizens may take pride in attending, J B Fithlan, of the Portland World, will deliver the an nual address, J as O'Mcare, of the Xtv:s an address entitled "Pioneer Editors of Oregon ," perhaps Sam Simpson will be present with a poem, and several others will prepare five and ten minute dissertations to fill in with. A large number of editors will be present to take in the show, and it behooves our citizens to be on their good behavior, as they will come with sharp pencils. Shall Albany Have a Hoard of Trade. Even Jacksonville has a board of trade. Why does not Albany have one ? The Dem ocrat moves that a meeting be called at an early date for one in this city. The central point in the W illamette valley, with a fast increasing trade and commercial interests of a good magnitude, we should tie Up with the times. Aboard of trade is a dignified in stitution, and a live one does much to build up a city. Will some one second the mo tion ? Bad Cat. Last week Frank Crabtreejand his father, of the Forks, were cutting corn when by a mishap the father struck Frank's hand on the back with the point of his corn knife cutting a gash two and a half inches long and into the bone. Thoueh painful, the wound is not dangerous. Millinery Opening. On Friday and Saturday, Sept 30th and Oct. 1st, Shane Ac Lonsway will have their opening display of millinery .

Last Monday as workmen were complet ing the work of excavating for the founda tion and cellar for Sam Young's new brick at the corner of Broadalbin and First street a most remarkable and un looked for dis covery was made. At a depth of several feet under ground a remarkable tablet, evi dently wrought by human hands, but a genuine relic of primeval ages, yet one that n its essential characteristic reaches down to the ever living active present was found embedded in the sand and clay. Upon re moving the dirt and sand from the tablet it was found to be of rare and exquisite de sign, but of recent origin being one of the relics left by the stupendous upheaval made by Wallace Si Thompson, (who formerly occupied that corner) in getting down to bed-rock prices, hence this unique tablet bore the appropriate inscription : "For the very best, freshest and cheapest groceries, call on Wallace & Thompson." Past AnlnaJs. Mr, George McKnight returned on Mon day from The Dalles, where he had been to attend the Wasco county fair, at which as stated last week Mcknight Brother's Delco easily won the two year old race. He brought with him to Vancouver Oneco, and left him there with lav Beach, wiio will train him for the free-for all race next year. it Is confidently believed he will trot in less than 2:25. Pricemont, who won the two year old race at the State fair and lowered the record, is a full brother of Oneco. His owner, Mr Smith, who is a poor young man, previous to the fair was not worth a cent beside Pricemont, for whom he paid $600. The horse won $1100 for him, and he after wards refused $25110 for the animal. Alta mont stock is proving to be verv reliably fast. Look out for 1888. Bad Runaway. Last Wednesday noon Mrs. J. H. Town send was at the O. P. depot in a buggy, where she had gone with her husband, when the horse became frightened and ran away, throwing Mrs. lewnsend and her two year old child out near the depot. The child was uninjured, but Mrs. Townsend was se verely bruised and several teeth were knock ed out. She was taken to the residence of W. A. Cox and good treatment iriven her Fortunately her injuries have proven to be external. Fine Melons, This ofiice hat received through Mr. C.F. Wright, at Harrisburg, sample melons from Mr. George A.

The Committee on Streets and Public Property reported the letting of the contract for an eight inch sewer across Ferry street along Seventh to W A McClain at 68 cents per foot, to be finished In fifteen days. The usual number of improvements of sidewalks was ordered made. Something more than orders is needed. A new foot bridge was ordered built acros the uime ditch, north side of First street, at J G Cherry's foundry, to be eight feet wide mnd completed in ten davs. The fire limits ordinance was passed. Ac j cording to it the limit now run between Washington and Baker streets extending north beyond First to the alley and south to Second street, except between Ellsworth and Baker where it goes south to the inter vening alley. It was ordered that the city engine house be painted, the contract to be let to the lowest bidder bv the committee on Fire and Water. The Street Commissioner was ordered to abate some hog pens along the Willamette. Wen by a Una Const y Horn. Last Saturday, at Eugene City, in the free-for-all race. "Autocrat," owned by Mr Abe Hackleman, of this city, was entered and won the race, trotting the fifth heat in 3143. "Autocrat" is nine years old, was sired by Autocrat, he by the famous Geo M Pate ha n, and since a year old has been on Mr Hackteman's ranch in Crook county, until two or three months ago, when he was hroiisrht to this citv and trained. Con. sidering the fact that he had never trotted before, nor even been worked, and also the slowness of the track, the time made was remarkably fast, and indicates for next year something under 2: 30, perhaps considerable. Antocrat was brought to Albany the first of the week and placed in Mr Marshall's ivery stable, where the Dkmocrat'h horse editor felt of his good points, and being al ready Informed on the subject, is able to pronounce the stallion a very promising one.

It is customary to exaggerate population. It is also a difficult thing to get at the cor rect population of a city. Mr. 0. W. Watts has just revised his census for his Albany directnry taken in April, and makes the present, bone fide white population of the city joao. This does not include transients at all.nor Chinamen. 81 nee the first of May 95 people have moved from Albany and 109 into It to reside. Mr. McDuffie, agent for the New York Life Insurance Company has counted every house in the city and says the number is 3S7, every one of which Is occupied. The Dkmocrat simply gives the figures presented it, without comment, as that Is what It Is published for. If a boom should really strike Albany some time, as we hope a fair sixed one will, we will be able to appreciate the nature of the present current. It is sufficient t bat the city is showing a steady, reliable growth, that business is good, some fine blocks, and nice residences are going up and the pros pects are bright. At F, M.
