It U the strangest thing in the world that reading men should be taken in by tuch barefaced game a that of paying $15 a bushel for wheat with the prospect of veil ing more to be paid for at the same rate in the note of unknown men. On it face it it an imposition In the first place no wheat U worth $15 a bushel, and the fact that such a price should he placed on It stamps It as a circus trick. There are men who never learn that they cannot beat a man at hi own game. O The M. A. T. suggests that a creamery be started in the vicinity of Albany. It would pay, according to present indications, and, perhaps, prevent the importation of California butter, as well as the great scar city of butter during the fall months. O If prohibition does not prohibit why is it that the people of Maine, Kansas and 'Iowa could not be induced to return to the license system. O With the amount of wood to be sawed in Albanv there is hardl v an excuse for idle ness. If the tramp calls for assistance treat him to a dose of saw buck. It is an effica cious cure for laziness. 0 The Man About Town has noticed in a saloon window a bill reading something like this 1 "Mr. John Doe to Mr. So and 80, dealer In wines, etc. To bill for liquors to date, $3t. 10. The above bill is for sale to the highest bidder." Would a grocer ad vertise a debtor In that way t No. Why does the saloon keeper do so then 1 Because It Is a disreputable thing that the debtor has been doing, and this is a splendid way to get even with him. It shows that John Doe has been getting drinks and running in debt lor them. A aaaay Eveaiag Haw, Last Sunday evening about 6:jo several men who had been drinking heavily got into a quarrel or fight at the Star Brewery in this city, when they wore invited into the street to settle their difficulty. I n the course of the quarrel one Fritz Bopp is reported to have drawn a revolver and attempted to shoot Oapt Oonners ; but as the weapon did not snap he drew a knife and made a slash at him. hitting him in the face near the nose, cutting a slight gash. There were several witnesses to the affair.who testified substan tially as above when called before Justice Dorris, though there was a difference of osjiaisMi as to whether the prisoner wut the man or not, he Insisting that he knew noth ing about the affair. The Justice concluded that the evidence was sufficient and he was held to await the action of the grand jury, which on investigation discharged the pris- Mr. Dross, oa the A Mr. Hezekiah Drunk lectured in this city last Sabbath on the prohibitory amendment to a Urge audience. He began his discourse early in the morning and finished at night, presenting twenty or thirty eloquent and powerful arguments In favor of the amend sent. No such address has yet been deliv ered here this season, his peroration particu larly being an effect! ve one. Numerous rail road men just from the summit, strangers and citizens lent their influence to the lec turer : and the saloons set up the drinks lively. A corpse could have gotten his glass filled. Comment is unnecessary. Those who saw and heard could only come to one conclusion. Hezekiah's arguments were convincing 5 but one such lecture is enough. City Isaprovesaeat Society. Recently at San Loaodro, Col., several of the enterprising citizens orgaaizod a society f or the special poroose of improving the ap- pearance of the city.

Upon investigation it turned out to be the body of a Mrs. Hash, the wife of a trapper. About four weeks ago Mrs. Hash disap peared, when her husband explained it by saying she had gone to Coer D'Alene, and about the first of the month he also left, presumably for the same place. There is now, no doubt that he murdered his wife, and could he have been caught when the discovery was made there might have been rough work. He is being hunted. Albany's New Iaearaaee Co.

Fortmiller k Go's furniture factory, OA Water Street, Kev Davis was hit on one of his arms by a stick sent whizzing through the air by the action of the buzz saw. The flesh was torn open, quite a severe wound being made. The stick glanced from Rev Davis to the face of Logan Hays, who was working near by, cutting his lip and knock Ing out one of his teeth, then glancing against tne siae 01 ine ouiidtng. it was a bad days job for one stick. The Pint Y.

An Early Rose weigh on 3 pounos ana a reeriess weighed fou pounds, some fine samples of Queen of the Valley that would cheer the heart of any Irishman. A DIFFRftKXT Tt'NK. Tbo tune of the Oryhn oa the Uiegoa Pacific hat ehauged ia a remarkable manner daring the last two years. As it has become evident thai Ibis road is to be a part of a great trausoontineata! Hue that paper baa gradually ohanged its notes, aad streak np a pieoe to the tune of "taffy.'' Th fallowing is deserved t The aueeeea of Col Hogg ia the Oregon Pacific scheme illustrates over again taepow. er of devoted and persistent effort toward a praetioal purpose. It is very easy to reeall the time whoa the proposed eater prise seamed to the publio aa abeolate impossibility . Col Hogg continued his efforts through every disparagement, aad has at last suoosedsd, practically, ia doing a great work for Oregon. Its purpose may be aaaa ia the following t In the nature o! thing the Oregon r'sciflo mast eventually oome to Portland. Aa a high way of traffic, both general and local, tt mast sejtkAhe headquarters of business, and this, ia ear judgment, i the purpose of its promo ters. Its probable course will bete branch from the main tine at a point near the west era foothills of theCAsaad mountains, theuoe north through the eastern part of alar ion aud the oentral di.triet of Clackamas ooaaty. This won Id be a good rente ia all ree pacta, particularly in that it would furnish a large local traHo. Bnt if this should not be done, it"will then doubtless bo the policy of the Oregon Paoitio to secure a contract with the O Si C by which it niy ran its ears into Port lead over the line from Albany. The U. I . aad O. k C. roads ft re bow on amicable terms, having 00m proas lead the differences whtuh were recently brought before the Courts. In all probability the latter will be the program. Albany will be taw distributing point. That Wheat Krone. Last Friday afternoon Michael Hogan, whose arrest on the charge of gross fraud at common law, was mentioned in the Dtno- ca at last week, was tried befote George Humphrey, Esq., and, it appearing that the evidence was not sufficient to hold him, he was discharged. It was one of thoee cases where everybody wag satisfied the man waa a base swindler, yet it was a difficult thing to prove it in a Court of Justice.for the pris oner declared himself ready to furnish the wheat and to perform his part of the contract. On the face of the thing it la one of the worst swindles ever perpetrated on the farm ers of Oregon, and should be a lesson not only to A. P. Maxwell, M. Fuller, Ellas Keener, I. N. Van Winkle, Wm. Davidson and the others who purchased the wheat at Si c a bushel with the expectation of set line- twice as much neat year at the same price, but to citizens generally. Hogan and his associates claim to be do ing business for the "Empire Seed Co.,"vrith headquarters at Portland and designate Geo. L. Woods as the president, aiui the capital stock was placed at $25,000. The matter caused great excitement in Albany, and the general opinion was that a good coat of tar and feathers would have been about the right thing for Hogan and his pards. Certainly there should be string ent means for ridding Oregon of such men, though the people who bite at their bare faced games really have little sympathy from the public generally. Below we give a bond given by the com pany, which shows the matter to be purely speculative, making all concerned parties to the affair. Home Office, Portland. Capital Stock, Bond of the Empire Heed Company ,of Port land, Oregon. It is agreed and understood by and be tween the party named in thin bond and said company, that the transaction covered by this obligation is of a speculative char xcter.and is not based upon the real value of the grain. Mr of Linn county, Oregon, Wit- nesseth. That on or before the 10th day of September. 1080. we hereby agrree to sell to responsible parties forty bushels of Mr wheat at $15 per bushel, and for which he agrees to take his pay in NOTES. And the said Mr. .... hereby acknowledges that he has bought of the said company twenty bushels of Scotch wheat at $15 per bushel as a SPECULATION, and for which he has given his note for the samc,and that said price is not based upon Its REAL VALUE. And the said Mr hereby agrees to allow the said company 33 per cent, of all notes taken for all his wheat sold at $1 $ per bush el as their commission. Signed and sealed this day of Octo ber, 1887. Tub EMPtaa Seed Co.. Portland, Or. Per H, M. Hogan, Sec'y. real Purchaser. On the reverse side is the constitution of the company. Since Hogan and his associates left the farmers who gave their notes have been re ceiving' wheat from different places ; but there is solid proof that it is not such wheat as was represented. It makes some of the farmers feel that they are in for it for cer tain ; and as the men have the notes they will look for demands for payment from most any source when due. Ceelea't Cease.

IIEI'FNKE, OH, Sept. 20th, IS87 In answer to your favor of the J3d,woutd say : Having but just walked in irorn a lengthy tnp, l find that my bach-ranch cat, which I have dragged up in what I thought was a proper way, has had kittens under a neighbor's house ; that one of my hens, har vested last year, has been dead a couple of weeks setting on a half-cord of eggs ; that the town cows have reached over the front fence and eat up two trees that I have pack ed bushels of water to nurse through dry seaaons ; that my setter dog Dash needs discipline, absence having made his heart more reckless, if not fonder ; that my Mon golian ltouse-keeper needs herding lest he boil the bread too much ; that owing to these and several other duties I regret very much having to decline your kind invitation to the conference of the presiding elders of the press. Yours in tears, KEDINOTON. A Good Iastitate.

It was one of the worst storms In the history of lake navigation. It is Portland against the rest of the State on everything.

Mrs. Cleveland is quick to see a point, and is a sound woman generally : It was cool at St Louis while the President was there, and one night the Mayor, turning to the re ceptlon committee, suggested with a wink that they file into the dining room and take something warm. Mrs Cleveland, sudden ly turning to the Mayor, said 1 "Yes, I think a cup of warm coffee would be jut the thing.' The Mayor retired crushed. A bad accident last week happened near Baker City in the following manner 1 A horse buyer arrived at the Dan 1 ladle v ranch and bargained (or the purchase of a certain animal running in the field. John Hadlev nrocured a rone and halter and wont out in the field to catch the horse, The animal was wild and it was some time be fore he was able to get up to him, which he did with the aid ofa bucket of oats. As the animal came up to him he placed the rope end around the horse's neck, the leather haRer touching the ground. The animal became frightened and ran, Mr. Had ley' foot catching in the halter and twisting itself se curely. In this predicament he was dragged all over the yard, and when released from his situation it was found that he was most Lhorribly injured internally and externally. and died In a few hours afterward.

A Hportiajt Afternoon. Saturday afternoon numerous citizens of Albany had business out in the country, all toward Tangent About half past three nearly four, Eph Catneron,of Corvallis, and Dick Patton, of Salem, appeared in front of the grand stand at the fair ground, in clout and spiked shoes, and shortly after toed a mark for a 100 yard race, with a "mutual consent start. After "monkc ing around for a few minute Patton i said to have told Cameron that he would never have hi con sent to start, and as a result the race wa de clared off. Like most foot race it was a mvteriou affair and numerous immaterial reports we.e made In reference to It Foot races have most generally been crooked af fairs In Oregon lately. After this had collapsed a 000 yard horse race was run between a gray and roan horse, the latter winning eailv.
