We are requested to announce that Mr.

date for Aeor subject to the action of the
next Democratic County Convention.
A MAN ABOUT TOWN.
The M A. T. Is informed that a gentle
man aawing wood in Albany was one time
a detective in San Francisco.
O
Snow began falling Friday morning last,
and almost before the gravel had sunken
out of sight below the glistening Hakes Mr.
Johnny Schmeer was on the street with his
greys and an Oregon sleigh. The M. A. T
caught his eye and was soon under his robe
of Crook county wolves flying through the.
streets of the cltv, a most enjoyable affair,
as old Boreas was in his best of moods. Mi.
C. C Cherry is also entitled to his best bow
for a couple lively spins after his J:4o nag.
O
His name was Millikan, and he taught a
dancing school here, as well as at Corvallls
and other places. After teaching his first
term he organised another class and collect
ed $3.50 apiece from the members of It. At
CorvallU the sum amounted to nearly $ioo
and we understand he was behind some at
Albany. Then he left. Corvallls papers
touch him up prettv lively, the Lea Jet
force alone being out $1 J. The M. A. T. Is
rcliablr informed that he was engaged to be
married to an Albany voung lady, and that
the day had been set for this week. The
case is a sad one ; but people who confide
in entire stranger, particularly of the ap
pearance of MUlikan, do not deserve much
sympathy if they get left.
O
During tle recent snow storm a young
couple were taking a sleigh ride along one
of the streets of Albany, keeping each other
warm, when a little girl, who had been to
Rovce & lansing's musical entertainment,
saw the funnv side of the affair and cried
out : "They like it, tley like it, they do."
Quite suggestive, by the way.
O
The Man About Town is not up to mili
tary tactics and hence would like to have
some member of F. Company (it used to be
Co. F.) tell what the Tacoma paper meant
when it said the annual muster would last
not less than six nor more than three days.
The City Ittnting.
The item in the Daily Herald yesterday
morning in reference to the city printing is
a yery unkind one. In the first place new
city ordinances are mere matter of news and
should be publislurd by a newspaper anyway,
and it is for this reason the Democrat
makes a low bid. The price Md is at the
rate of 60 cents per 1000 ems, over twice
what the II. raid dkl the work for two or
three years ago. In the matter of a system
f prices for space no paper in Oregon needs
a press association more than the llirald
but this is a matter it I foolish for newspa
pers to quarrel about. The price bid is more
than the Herald gets per issue for any stand
ing ad. in Its daily issue, several times as
much as for some". Figure it up.
Speaking about what a newspaper values
its advertising pace at,allow us to remark
that our contemporary is running anew
advertisement for a short time at the rate
of about y cents per inch per insertlon.and
is getting a very fair price. Figures don't
lie Measure vour ads. and see how it Is
with yourself." Give us a little rope and
we can prove that the city will be pa? in?
considerable for its space, that is if it ever
had much. As a matter of fact about the
only thing there ha ever been in the mat
ter is the title "City official paper."

65 Yean Together.
For many year past, at time,the Demo
crat has noticed the anniversary of the
wedded life of Mf. and Mrs. John Smith, of
thi city,each time remarking at its remark
ableness, and often wondering if it would
ever be able to do so again. We are glad
to be able to announce another anniversary
on last Saturday, the 65th, of probably as
pure and harmoniou a wedded life a the
world ha ever known,and one rarely equall
ed in extent of duration. A new phase was
presented at the celebration of thi anniver
sary, that of the presence of a great grand
child, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mr.
D. B. Monteith being present and crowing
over the event. Not many people live to
be 65 in the first place, to say nothing of a
couple living together that length of time.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith are each 86 year of age.
The setting un i a bright one.
F. Company.
The member of F. Company have been
"ized up," and the following is the result
Average age,24 year ; average height, 5
feet ojf' inche; average weight, 159 pounds.
The tallest member is 6 feet 4 inches, the
shortest just one foot below him ; the heav
iest member 210 pounds, the liL'hest, 1 20
oounds. Twentv-six of the Company are
over c feet 1 r inche in height. It is a re
markably good average Company, and is
working with great harmony. As soon as
Mr. Young moves into his new quarters the
Company will use his warehouse on acconu
street, which will be entirely remodeled tor
the purpose.
