MAN ABOUT TOWN.
The wife oi an Industrious German farm
er, in this county, tayt one can hardly turn
over one hand without making money.
During the last year she paid for all the
family groceries with money made from
chickens egg, butter, etc., and had a bank
account of $140 besides, -and nothing is said
about what her husband did. Farmers who
bur their butter, bacon, etc.. in town, con
not be expected to have such a record, and
It is no wonder some mortgages grow larg
er instead of smaller. Br the way among
our best farmers are the Germans, They
watch the little items.
O
Skating, ah, what a blissful tingle the
mere word sends through one who was
brought up in a country where there is this
exhilirating exercise some less than thir
teen months in a year. In Oregon It is a
luxury and only those skate who take time
by the nape of the neck. Our diminutive
freeze tips only seem to affect shallow
sloughs and pasture puddles, and, perhaps.
It Is well, for air holes are mostly grass or
brush holes, and there are few drowned and
not many feet wet eren if the ice breaks.

It seems to be the fashion in Albany for
revolvers to miss Are. Another case oc
curred in this city Monday evening. A
quarrel between one of the proprietors of
the Barry and George and a young man
who had imbibed somewhat freely resulted
In a blow and the drawing of a revolver by
the latter. In this case also the trigger was
pulled. It didn't go. Two lives were saved.
Right here it should be remarked that it is
very wrong for young men to get tight and
go into saloons and break the peace of those
quiet establishments t
Old settlers in the Willamette Valley do
not relish cold weather. They think it out
of place here. When the wind changed to
the South Wednesday and gent'c shower
began falling they were naturally highly
elated and one of them cut capers somewhat
as follows. Do you recognize him ?

evening, r roa ait sources we gainer noin-
ing but n or their entertainment. They
mmr l !Sr&. ized everywhere by the best and
mot cultured people. This is accounted
for by their strict adherence to what eight
years ago laid the foundation to their con
tinued success, viz., always presenting a
strictly clean and thoroughly enjoyable
program. One which combines.in a happy
manner, the very best of mirth and muic.
Probably another stepping-stone to their
unqualMed success, is the fact that, aside
from their artistic worth, the company is
composed strictly of ladjes and gentlemen
whose social and moral standing is beyond
question. Wherever they have once ap
peared the announcement of a second visit
Is almost an absolute guarantee of a crowded
house,and highly pleased audience. Tickets
now on sale at Blackman's. Best seats only

Present Mayor Cowan, Marshal- Hays
Recorder Hcnton and Councllmcn Read,
Tablet , Gradwohl, Hoffman, Wrltsman and
Goin.
Mayor Cowan on taking his scat read a
pointed, practical address, which we are un
able to give In full. He congratulated the
Council on the satisfactory financial condi
tlon of the city. He said : "Without going
into details the revenue from all sources, the
present year, wil I approximate something
near ten thousand dollars ; the paid depart
ment, at present existing, Is likely to con
Mime nearly six thousand dollars of this
gross amount, leaving an estimated balance
of near four thousand dollars for repairs and
new itnpaevementa. I have do doubt, gen.
tlemen, but that you will see that this fund
Is judiciously appropriated. Your constit
uents do not murmur at the payment of
reasonable taxes, but they watch with prop
er jealousy tbe expenditure of their common
fund. They have a right to expect at our
hands a close sciutiny of every item which
calls for money whose source Is the pockets
of the tax-payer. Expend this surplus, but
see to It that every dollar going out of your
treasury brings ample return In the way of
Improvements. To even ornament our city
to fair proportions, If possible, would not be
bad peMcy at the present time. A beautified
city attracts Intelligence, wealth and moral
ity, and now is the opportune time for Al
bany, so favored by natural surroundings
and location, to bid for such additions to
hci population. There are bright prospects
to be realised in the near future for our city,
and our city fathers must keep pace with
the events that will Inevitably come crowd
ing on."
