A Ms ABOUT TOWN.
Drawing engines through the mud at the
bam fire last week was not quite at pleasant
a toasting one's feet at a fireplace. The
Man About Town has been advised that
several sidewalk firemen appreciated this
fact and kept out of the mud, allowing out
aiders to get in and drill. They deserve he
Ing pickled if the statement Is true, and we
are informed that it Is our duty to throw on
the brine.
O
The Man About Town Is informed by
Mr. George Richards that he has observed
the antics of bees and mosquitoes in Oiegon
for years, and that they are in the habit of
making themselves known generally dur
ing the three winter months,even the form
er coming out at times and bussing around.
We speak of this as a recommendation for
the mildness of our climate in winter.
O
It is often the lot of the newspaper man
to be misunderstood ; the fate of a Wash
ington Territory editor Is peculiarly sad.
Recently he spoke about a school ma'am
teaching the youthful mind to shoot, and
she immediately "got on her ear" and pub
lished a card demandiag a retraction, insist
ing that she was not teaching her pupils to
hoot at all.
O
The M. A. T. has just read of an Iowa
man, who, after fouiteen years, has succeed
ed in perfecting a machine that bores a
square hole. It will do in two or three
minutes what formerly took half an hour,
Remarkable age this.
O
Mr. John Briggs informs the M A. T.
that on Thanksgiving day 1883 one quarter
of an inch of snow fell, but if any one took
a sleigh ride it must have been in the mud.
O
The election in this city Monday demon
strated the fact that city elections are as
uncertain as the place where little Johnny
went.
O
Last October a young man came to Al
bany to reside. About the date of his ar
rival can be proven . Monday, on having
his vote challenged at the Court House, he
wore that he had resided in Albany ninety
days. If the shoe fits this applies : other
wise not If the facts are as reported to the
M. A. T. the next (irand Jury is liable to
have smb. If not this item refers to some
other fellow.
O
The Man About Town calls attention tp
the fact that the total vote cast in Albany
in 1884 was 378 ; In 1885, 411 ; in 1886,
417 ; in 1887, 495, which speaks for the
steady growth of the city. We are increas
ing rapidly.
From Mr. L. Martin, of Ashland, who
returned to his home Saturday evening from
a visit to Albany, a Da mock at man learn
ed many interesting facts in reference to
the fruit business there and the prospects of
the country generally. Daring the past
season prices of real estate ha c !een on
boom, land around Ahsland increasing in
value two hundred per cent up. As an ex
ample, several months ago Mr. Martin sold
ten acres off his forty acre tract for what he
paid for the forty acres, and now the ten
acres could be sold for twice what Mr. M
received for them. His thirty acres could
only be bought for at least a small fortune.
The value of fruit land may be seen In the
fact that it pays Interest on over $1000 an
acre, during the past year about $300 to
$1500 an acre being the gross receipt
around Ashland. The superior quality of
Southern Oregon fruit Is an item that means
much, dealers through the N. W. willingly
paying 25 cents a crate more than Califor
nia prices, and the demand was several
times the supply. Mr. Martin shipped all
the way to Montana and had orders from
even as far as Salt Lake City, which he was
unable to fill. We are glad to observe that
he is taking the lead in the business. The
industry he has embarked in promises to
be one of immense magnitude. The Demo
crat rejoices to tee the prospects of pros
perity in the neighboring sections of the
State.
Oat at the Sear
Last Monday a tramp was arrested by
the night police and placed In the shed near
No. t's engine house, sometimes called a
caliboose. During the night he tore the
rear end of the building down, either with
his fingers or by blowing against it, and
escaped. The bell tower would be as safe
a place to keep a prisoner.
Fire Department Matters.
Last Monday evening st a meeting of
Linn Engine Co. No. a, J. N. Hoffman wa
nominated Chief Engineer, and Henry Sue
sens, of No. i's Assistant Chief. No. i's
did not make any nominations. The H &
L Co. meet to-night for the purpose of elect
ing officers and placing a ticket in the field
The Diphtheria Cases.
Last week the Democrat reported the
death of two of the children of Mr. Thorn
ton, in the First Ward, frsm diphtheria,
Saturday another one was taken to the
cemetery. Two others afflicted with the
disease are Improving. Two children of
Mr. O'Brien, a next door neighbor, caught
the disease, and on 1 uesday morning one
of them died. The other will probably re
cover. The disease has been confined to
these two families, and warm, stormy rains
precludes Its spreading further.
The Ysqafaa City" Stranded.
Y aol ik a. Dec. c. The machinery of
the steamship Yaquina City" broke down
In crossing Yaquina bar at 3:1c this after
noon, and she drifted on the spit inside the
bar. She lies in an easy position, The
sea Is moderate, and It Is expected that she
will come on wltrr to-morrow's tide.
As we went to press it was reported that
the steamer remained 00 the south spit of the
bar, and some tbink it cannot be gotten off.
A north wind would break it up. The freight
was being conveyed to Y equina for shipment
to the Valley.
e
Bare Buraed.
Thursday evening of last week while
Harry Day was throwing down hay in the
barn at Mr. John Hoffman's home, in this
city, a lantern hung on a peg either explod
ed or the bottom fell out, causing the hay to
be set on Are, the flames quickly spreading
through the barn, compelling Mr. Day to
jump to the ground from the second story
door. A cow inside was taken out. About
five tons of hay were burned. AH the fire
companies were promptly on hand. No
a's getting water first by about five seconds
The flames were extinguished, the charred
remains of the structure being left standing
There was no insurance either on the barn
or contents.

Something About Biss.
The following from the Oregon City Em-
ttrfrit Is s cleat statement of at least a part
of the career of M. Hogan, who has attract
ed so much attention lately as "the Sic
wheat swindler :"
It appears that one Hogan is at the head
of the concern. He came from Michigan
and Is said to be the same party that ran the
Bohemian oaU swindle in the Western
State a few years ago. He first tried to In
terest C u. Iatourctte In hi scheme, but
falling, succeeded in securing the co-operation
of A. S. Bsty snd s Portland party. Ex-
Gov. Woods was selected as President at a
salary of $50 per month, having been told
that the position was merely an honorary
one.
Hoaaii was arrested in Ban Francisco.
Hatv is evidently in Victoria yet, as he
wrote his wife to dispose of all their things
here and meet him there. The household
goods were sold Saturday evening and she
left the first of the week.
Win. Barlow, of Barlow Station was
made their shipping agent. From him they
are said to have purchased 80 bushels, from
Mr, Smith of Molalla a considerable quan-
ttty at SI, and irom another party quite a
supply ; enough in all to enable them to
clear up about $16,000.
Upon the arrest in Albany Gov. Woods
seems to have lost no time in sending in his
resignation, rightly judging that he was
among a slippery crowd.
Hogan Is the same fellow who a few
years since visited these parts selling bills ef
goods to farmers, uoods worth $15 he
would get $150 for taking in payment the
farmers note. All together his carrer
seems to have been not without an occas
ional ripple of excitement. Give the grang
era ot Lans county but an opportunity to
pronounce verdict on his case, and they will
not remain out long. It Is to be hoped that
they may hae a chance.
Here We Are Again.
Look at the list of valuable present to be
given away to the customers of F. M. French
on Saturday, December 31st, 1887 :
