ALBANY AMU LINK COUNTY.
Among the growing town of Oregon,
none oceupy a more prominent poaliion
than Albany ,the chief city of Ltnnjcouaty.
Its selection by the Oregon Pacific aa It
point of junction with the Oregon & Call
fornla, and the site for targe round houses,
which are in conatructlon,haa drawn much
attention to it advantages as a business
point. This distinction has not fallen up
on Albany unearned, but Is the result of
the enterprising spirit of its citizens, who
subscribed liberally to Induce the Oregon
Pacific to bridge the Willamette at that
point and make the city its chief center of
traffic on the east side of the river. This
same spirit of enterprise la shown In other
directions, and Is bearing fruit la the proa
parity and rapid growth of the community.
The Oregon Pacific la now being operandi
fifteen mites east of Albany, and Is under
contract for construction beyond the sum
mit of the Cascades. Another year will
see It as far east as Snake river,and before
a second shall roll around, It wilt meet, at
Boise City, another road from the East,
making one more transcontinental route.
Albany will then be the place where
freight and paaaengera by this now line
will connect with linea resching point
both north snd aouth.snd wltl,of neceaaity,
become of great Importance in tha trans
portation aystem of the coast. The city
now has a population of three thousand,
which will, by the time the road is com
pleted, have Increased fully twenty-five
per cent.
Albany is well built up with substantial
bualneaa structures, and many neat, and
even handsome, residences. The county
buildings are brick structures, and coat
about $5cvouo. Business in ail its branches
Is well rrprcscntcd.and Is Increasing year
ly In volume. One of the best water pow
ers In the West, the Santlam river, sup
plies an abundance of power for rnanufac
turing.which la already utilised by a num
ber of Induatriea.chlef among which Is the
large Red Crown Milts of I som, Lanning
& Co., a complete roller mill, manufactur
ing standard shipping breads of flour. As
a manufacturing point, Albany poaaeaaes
many advantages of location, because of its
situation at the junction of two great rail
road lines. It will have a direct outlet by
rail to Eastern Oregon and beyonjd, to alt
points south and north, snd to the two
ocean shipping ports of Ysquins and Port
land. Within esay reach are vast forests
of fir and cedar, and grove of alder, oak.
maple and cotton wood. Thousands of
sheep are at hand to supply wool of the
finest grade. while cereai.frult and vegeta
ble products ars obtainable In ualitnited
quantities. From the very nature of things,
Albany must become an Important menu
facturing and business community.
On pages 809 and 810 are presented en
gravings of several of th Huatn-
public atructurea of the city .including the
school house and new bank building.
These arc evidences of business prosperity
and enlightened enterprise, which speak
volumes for the city and lt people.
A glsnce at the surrounding snd tribu
tary country will give a good idea of the
city's position. Much of the region west
of the Willamette is directly tributary to
the city, by boat, rail and wagon ; but its
leading territory is the county of Lian.one
of the largeat, most proaperou and popu
lous In the state.
Linn county extends from the Willam
ette river to the summit of the Csacade
mountains, and lies between Marion snd
Lane counties on the north and south,
having Benton for its neighbor west of the
river. In its area of about twenty-four
hundred square milei.it embraces bottom
land, high prairies, foothill and moun
tain, having the most extensive prairies
in the Willamette valley. The beat agri
cultural part of the county is a strip, or
belt,bordering on the Willamette river,an
open, fertile prairie region, thickly settled
with thrifty farmers. This belt is from
twelve to twentv-five miles wide, and is one
of the finest wheat and oat growing re
glens in the state. East of this Is a belt
from ten to twenty mites wide, which is
hilly and undulated.diversified with small
valleys, In whicn are many quiet, pleasant
hemes. The uncultivated lands are, for
the moat part, covered with brush and
timber, such as oak, fir, ash and maple
The next belt, comprising the remainder
of the county, and extending to the sum
mlt of the Cascade mountains, is a moun
tainoua region, almost wholly unsettled,
and, in fact,generally unfit for settlement.
It I covered with large forests of fine
timber, which, in time, will become ex
tremely valuable. The entire county is
finely watered by large streams, of which
the principal ones are the Willamette riv
er, North Santlam and South Santlam.
uesiues these, there are are numerous
small streams, all rising in the Cascade
mountains, and emptying into the Wil
lamette or Its tributaries. The water in
these streams is clear and pure, and furn
ishes abundant water power for manufac
turing purposes. The Oregon & Californ
ia R. R. enters Linn county on the north,
about six miles east of the Willamette
river, and runs about ten miles southwest
to Albany , and thence south and southwest
about thirty two miles to Harrisburg, a
mile above which point itcroases the Wil
lamette.and passes on south through Lane
county. There is a branch road from Al
bany east to Lebanon,a distance of fifteen
miles, where it connects with the Narrow
Gauge road running west of.and parallel
to,the Oregon & California. The Oregon
Pacific is being constructed eastward
through the mountains. These roads,
with the Willomette river.affordtranspor
tation facilities both by rail and boat.
As in other. counties in the valley, the
vacant government land is confined al
most exclusively to the foothills and moun
tains. Improved lands in the valley sec
tion can be purchased at prices varying
from $15 to $40 per acre, though many
farms would, if sold at alt, command a
higher figure. The desirable land ia the
oo,h.H.,8d.n .u. mor. JL
from market and transportation, can We
purchased at from $5 to $35 per acre.There-
Is considerable land well adapted to hop
culture, and that industry has esdy
taken a strong hold upon the county. The
Orearon Facmc ts opening ut a strlo of
comparatively unsettled land, which will
aoon be occupied and rendered among the
most valuable and productive la the coun
ty. Much of this Is government and rail
road land, to ba had on easy terms, and all
will be directly tributary to Albany when
brought under cultivation. WW Short.
WASHINGTON.
(frs
WAsauwoToM, D. C, Dec. 5th, 1887.
Probably your readers are not aware of
the immense quantities of mall matter dis
tributed throughout the country by the
Government at Washington. To give
them some faint conception of Its magni
tude, It la only necessary to mention the
fact that tho United States mall seat out
tt0m Ml- Iuteror rtnrtot alone aeer
ages In weight 3,000 pounds daily. But
ail told, the Government perhaps distrib
utes about 30,000 pounds dally, especially
during the season whenupublic documents"
are being scattered broadcast throughout
the land by members of Congress who do
not wish their constituents to forget them
during their stay at the Capital. Perhaps
another thing that few persons,except the
losers themselves, ever think of la the
amount of money lost In the malls. Last
year $37,637 was found In dead letters, of
which smount $32,639 wsa restored to the
owners ; $6,672 thus found could not bo
returned, and was deposited In the Treas
ury to the credit of the Government ; like
Wise the sum of $3,731, the proceeds of
auction sales of unclaimed packages of
merchandise found in the mails.
Postmaster General Vitas is certainty to
bo congratulated upon his masterly and
successful management of the great De
partment committed to his charge, for his
annual report shows the most gratifying
results. The re venues of the Department
have gained over tho preceding year
nearly $4,840,000, which aaay be termed
the high water mark, while the disburse
ment Increased but little more than two
million dollars ; twoyesrs since, under the
republican regime, the deficiency was
$700000. This sum has bee a reduced
nearly three-fourths under economical
democratic administration .and if the pres
ent ratio of reduction continues a few
months, the deficiency will disappear en
tirely. If the democracy had done nothing else
to win the support and confidence of the
country, their management of the public
lands and of the postal affairs of the nation
entities the party to a new lease of power.
Both Secretary Falrchlldand Comptroller
Turnhoim make two very important
recommendations ia their reports the
former urging upon Congress the need of
enacting a fire proof halt lor the better
protection of perishable Government
records the letter proposing to Congress
the codification of the bank laws ; that the
Comptroller ts earnestly in favor of his
scheme is shown by his sending a letter to
each Congressman, fully explaining its
provisions.
A Treasury statement shows that for
the month of November there was a net
Increase of $2,360,667 la the circulation
and a net increase of $8,871,746 in the
amount of cash ia the Treasury. The in
crease In circulation was In silver certifi
cates, gold coln,standard silver dollars and
subsidiary silver ia the order named.
Chief Justice Waite of the United States
Supreme Court, celebrated his 71st birth
day last week. Pour Supreme Justices
Waits, Field, Miller and Bradley could
some time since have mid aside Che judi
cial robes and retired on salaries of $10,000
each the balance of their lives, yet these
halo old men present the rare and refresh
ing spectacle of working every day, when
they might receive the same pay for doing
nothing. Each Supreme Justice is enti
tled to a private secretary at $1,800 a year,
and I believe all of them avail themselves
of the privilege except the venerable Chief
Justice, who aaya such an official attach
ment would only be In his way.
Secretary Lamar's age (he was 62 last
September) Is urged as a serious objection
by some against his transfer to the Bench,
aa since the Court was organised only two
Justices of that advanced age have been
anoointed. But Mr. Lamar, his friends
ar
tay, is good for ten years service
Washington Is now crowded with the
floating population who dance attendance

areas, ana 01 course an sucn tnatviuuais

have some personal object in view. There
are the lebbyists.mate and female.the office
seekers of both sexes, and great army of
cranks, crooks and adventurers who are
wooing fame and fortune.
The deliberations of the Democratic
Caucus resulted, as you have seen by tele
graph, about as I have Indicated in this
correspondence, though it Is much to be
regretted that the excitement engendered
In the canvass for doorkeeper of the House
precipitated a personal conflict between
two of the members, which, after the pas
sion of the moment had passed, was honor
ably and amicably adjusted.
It Is thought that Mr. Lamar's nomina
tion for Supreme Justice will be sent to
the Senate this week,but It Is not probable
that he will assume the duties of the posi
tion until after the holidays, as there are
many matters In the Interior Department
demanding his attention.

vising the cleaning of ones premises from

PiTTsauno, Pa. As the train on the
Erie & Pittsburg road drew into the depot
this morning, Charles White and wife, of
Erie, snd their 4-year-old chlld,en route to
Altoona, stepped from the train to walk
on the platform a few moments. The child
ran from the platform onto the track as a
freight train approached. Everybody ex
pected to see It crushed to death. The
members af the Verona Jarbeau Company
were boarding the train to go on to John
ton . Miss Jarbeau saw what had happen
ed, ran across the platform and first track,
reached the child, and, by a herculean ef
fort, succeeded in drawing the liuie one
away just before the train rushed over
that portion of the track where the child
had stood. The train passed so closely
that It threw Miss Jarbeau upon the ground
but neither the lady nor the child were
hurt. The parents of the child were so
badly frightened that they could hardly
thank Miss Jarbeau.
Nxw Yoaa. The Pott Washington's
special describes the fisheries negotiations
at follows : From the outset Sir Charie
Tupper, Canadian commissioner, has been
the leading spirit on the British side of the
negotiations. Chamberlain and Sack
v tile-West the British minister, have per
mitted Canada to take the lead. Tupper
took a peaUion to which it waa evident
that Secretary Bayard and our commis
sioners would not accede. Canada had
one chief point to gain, importation into
the United States of Canadian fish, duly
free. The price which Canada was wil
ling to pay for this wss unrestricted right
of American fiahermen to enter ports of
Canada for any purpose connected with
fishing, or for any other commercial pur
pose, and such definition of the bouudsry
of marine as would be acceptable to the
United States. Beyond that Canada was
anxious to enter Into more general recip
rocal trade relations, in the form of a re
ciprocity treaty, on the general lines of
the old treaty of 1854.
Pmiladklmma. -The Prist aaya editor
ially to-day : "The continued importa
tion of Chinese labor into the United
States by way of British Columbia le
bound to cause another dispute between
this Government and the Dominion so
thorities unless It is speedily stopped .
Prohibited by law from landing in this
country, the Chinese are freely received
in British Columbia, whence It Is easy to
gain access to the United States. The at
tention of the Canadian authorities has
been officially directed to the matter, and
if they areas anxious for the good will and
commerce of this country as they profess
to be, they will give it the prompt and ef
fective action which it deserves."
Wasmixton. In response to a resolu

. A Common Cold
Is often the beginning of serious affec
tions of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes,
and Lungs. Therefore, the importance
of early and effective treatment cannot
be overestimated. Ayer's Cherry doc
toral may always be relied upon for the
speedy cure of a Cold or Cough.
Last January I waa attacked with a
severe Cold, which, by neglect end fre
quent exposures, became worse, finally
settling 00 my lungs. A terrible cough
soon followed, aooomnanied bv nains In
the ohest, from which! suffered intense
ly. After trying various remedies, with
out obtaining relief, I commenced taking
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and waa
Speedily Cured.
I am satisfied that this remedy saved my
life. Jno. Webster, Pewtucket, K. I.
I contracted a severe cold, which
suddenly developed into Pneumonia,
presenting dangerous and obstinate
symptoms. My physician ordered the
use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. His in
structions were followed, and the result
waa a rapid and permanent cure.

Two years ago I suffered from a severe
Cold, which settled on my Lungs. I con
sulted various physicians, ana took the
medicines they prescribed, but received
only temporary relief. A friend induced
me to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After
taking two bottles of this medicine I waa
cured. Since then I havo given the Pec
toral to my children, and consider it
The Best Remedy
for Colds, Coughs, and all Throat and
Lung diseases, ever used in my family.
Robert Vanderpool, MeadvUfe, Pa.
Some time ago I took a slight Cold,
which, being neglected, grew worse, and
settled on my Lungs. I had a hacking
cough, and was very weak. Those who
knew me beat considered my life to be
in great danger. I continued to suffer
until I commenced using Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. Less than one bottle of this
valuable medicine cured me, and I
feel that I owe the preservation of my
life to its curative powers. Mrs. Ann
Lock wood, Akron, New York.
