Tub Prkms Association. -The Oregon
Preaa Association met In Hulem Friday ;
but for various reasons the Dkmocrat was

Cess. 1 he nest meeting will be held at
Newport in August, 1889.
Fhe Association closed thi forenoon
with a very live meeting, in which at Ifaot
our trictnl of the t.r.tr i said to have
gotten considerably worked up. Several
resoultlons were passed and much good
na'urcd talk indulged In. A committee
wa nniMiinted to present a bill to the next
legislatuie providing for the publication of
County Court proceedings at the expense
of the county. TheAssociatiou idjourned in

A Good Way. Thursday evening
there appeared across the river a novel, yet
elegant looking outfit. It was a large, fine
lo3king wagon, drawn by four maniftccnt
horses. There were three seats In the
wagon, so arranged that those sitting in
the second seat could look over those in
the front seat, and those In the rear scat
look over alt of them. Every thing was
new, though somewhat duiv. The outfit
was under the management of the rich
If r. Walter Burrell, son of Mr. BurrelL of
Knapp, llurrell & Co.. of Portland, and
there were eight in the partv, including
Mr. Burretl's mother and sister. The
wagon was loaded with eatables, guns, Ash
ing rods, etc and there were a Chinese
cook and teamster to do the work for the
party. The party left Portland on Mon
day and reached here aftct a mist eniov
able trip, they aaid. They camped in tne
grove near the ferry, and Irtdav proceed
ed on their way towards Iebanon and the
Cascades, which they will cross before re
urning home. It is a fine crowd and a
SSTri, ?
there ought to be an im
ensure in the arrange
ment.
Gkttimu Notorioi's. It never rains
but U pours. Here is another item about
Dr. Shackelford, of Salem, who Is well
known in thla city. It is from the Videite :
-Dr. Shackelford run up against Holt Ed-
mondson, a day or two ago and tried to
blow the latter in for the drinks on a dice
shake. The Dr. lost and then said he had
no money to pay, fifty cents. Holt be! $50
that the Dr. had money and the Dr. put up
a $50 horse. Holt then produced the man

was a fair game."
V. S., -Here is stiW another one : "Ur.
Shackelford was taken in hv Willi tin
Chambers this afternoon and turned over
to the Sheriff. A charge of horse stealing
was preferred against him and his trial will
come up to-morrow, Saturday morning.'
Fatal Accidext. Geo. B. McKinney,
living shout six miles above Lebanon in
Waterloo precinct, was accidentally killed
Friday afternoon in the following man
ner. He was engaged in hauling straw into
a shed on his farm and while at the shed
unloading his team became frightened and
started to run. Mr. McKinney was stand
ing on the back pert of the load, and in at
tempting to get hold of the lines he waa
thrown off in front of the wagon, under the
horses heels, the wagon nassintrl over his
head and shoulders. Dr. Foley was sent for
but Mr. McKinney died before he arrived.
His face and head were badly mashed. Mr
McKinney was a highly respected citizen
and the bereaved family hae the hesrtfelt
sympathy of the entire commuulty. He
was about fifty years of age.
Thk Scio Branch. The Democrat
mentioned the beginning of work on the
Scio switch on the 7lh Instant. Work had
proceeded two days when on Thursday
evening, a cold wave swept over the
matter by Receiver Scott informing the
citizens of Scio, that a part of the bargain
was for Mr. (Joins to take the West Scio
warehouse, which of course he would not
do. Work was immediately stopped. An
indignation meeting was held and Scott
was hung in effigy. Parties from there
say the matter caused intense excitement, i
and the feeling against Scott and the one
horse road are very bitter.
A Friend oftiik Press. --For a great
many years Mr. William Peacock, residing
across the river.has remembered the Dkmo
crat with his fit st watermelon. Saturday
Mr Peacock appeared with a fine sixteen
pounder, a remarkably large one for the
first one. It was raised from this years
seeds. He also laid on our table a couple of
hunches of grapes, raised by himself, as
large, fine, and luicious as "any brought
her from California or Southern Oregon.
In this Mr Peacock is first by considerable,
lie has our thanks and weil wishes for the
continued prosperity he so richly deserves.
Sometimes Useful The propensity
for doing something that they had't ought
to do, Is great in boys all over the world,
ami Astoria boys are no exception to the
rule, but occasionally in their monkeying
with matters that do not concern them
selves they unwittingly do a good deed
Yesterday about forty of them were play
ing on an old barge that was leaking a little.
They found a crude pump on board and
went to pumping. They became so inter
esting In the operation that they did not
cease until the last drop was taken out of
the hold and the barge floated light as a
feather, much to the satisfaction of the
owner who was saved several hours hard
labor. Pioneer.
Rainfall. The rainfall of Eastern Ore
gon is about one-half that of interior Val
leys. Along the coast from 62 to 78 inches
fall annual'y. In the Willamette Valley
from a2 to 6 inches fall annually. In the
Umpqua Valley 35 inches fall annually
In the Rogue River Valley, Klamath and
Lake counties, and on the Plateau east of
the Cascade range of mountains, known as
Eastern Oregon, from 13 to 35 inches fall
annually. The rainfall in Oregon, as well
as in California and Washington Terri
tory, increases from south to north. Rain
falls 100 days at Ashland to 166 days at
Portland in a year. The average for the
state would be about 125 days.
From tub Mines. Mr. C. E. Brownell
and Mr. Oonclly arrived home last Thurs
day from the Snntlam mines with some
line specimens of ore taken from their
claims. Coming out they met the mining
expert sent into the mines by the Capitol
Mining Company of Salem. He pionounc
ed himself at well satisfied with the coun
try as a mining region. It waa his opinion
that within a year there would be a bigger
rush for these minea than foranv In Idaho
or that country, as the formations are bet-
ter. The Albany party had an enjoyable
trip and are considerably elated over the
prospects.

Wheat.-The wheat yield this vear is
more uniform than usual. A Urge nam-
ber of reports make the yield about thirty
bushels per acre, which is remarkably good
when it is so general. The quality of the
production though Is extra. Mr. A. L
Hridgelarmcr brought some in from his
place that weighed about 1 to pound, to the
sack. Most of the fall grain is already cut
and spring wheat will soon be attacked,
when reports of some ery large yields
may oc cxpecteo.
II r nt ers. Nearly all of the farms
around Albany are posted against hunters,
and one hunter says that on a farm where
there was no notice, he was ordered off at
double quick time, and he could only get
even with him by telling him to go to the
hot place ; but, really, we don't blame the
farmer.
Lebanon. -Negotiations are under way
with a California manufacturer for the
construction of the Lebanon ditch, and it
is probable that It will be put through.
Should the project succeed we have the aar
Miran e that the water power will be fully
used for manufacturing purposes. Express.
We unilerstand that a paper mill may he

The Scio Branch. Mr. Hub. Bryant,
who was in Scio last week, informs us that
the first shovel full of earth on the branch

THK WOOLEN MILLS.
Editors Democrat :
Referring to your article recording the
woolen mills enterprise in your issue of the
7 tn int we wish to state solar as this com
pany is concerned tHere is not a word of
truth about. As regards what Mr. Kay
msv have proposed to your citizens we
know nothing. It was proposed on his
own responsibility. Mr. Kay is not manag
er of this company but Su erintendent 01
tne mills. I his company does not contem
plate moving its plant anywhere ; nor does
it own the water power at Waterloo.
Whatever action this company may here
after take will not be taken on account of
deficiency in water power as we now have
a better and bv for a cheaper power than
Albany can give any enterprise. Respect
fully, Brownsville Woolen Mills Co..
O. P. Cositow, ec'y.
t
In reference to the above, the Democrat
did not say there was a proposition from
the Company, nor involve the Company.
On that point it quoted from an article in
the Oregomian. The proposition was from
Mr. Kay. It was some other paper that
libeled Brownsville's fine water power.
Just where the report came from in refer -
ence to the mills closing down tne first of
the year we do not know. We are glad to
know that i not the case. Albany does
not wish to take the mill away from
Brownsville ; but it wants one of its own
with double the capacity.
Hantsvllle, W. T.
How does seventy bushels of oats to the
acre strike you ? It was obtained jusi north
of this town. Not very heavily. Several
yields of too bushels are reported to us.
The steam engine on trial at Mr. Ham
mer's failed to do what the agent claimed
for it. He claimed that tt would cumo
these hills! Did any Oregon man ever
see them? Most of the farming is done
on the tops of these ridges; and he claimed
that It wouia go up anu uraw 111c scpamici
sifter it.
It could not set up on Its eioows.
It nawed the ground until It buried Its ham
bones out of sight. It reared up in front,
gave two or three pathetic snorts and was
allowed to try It alone. A horse power is
at work to-day. This is given at such a
length as a pointer to others living in nui
countries.
The fiteneral average of wheat to the
acre, so far as heard from, is over 40 bush
els.
Stock pigs seem to be in demand all
about here, and it ia believed that the pro
duction of meat is to be the great future
industry of this section.
The 7 o'clock freight, on Tuesday even
ing, ran through town at the rate of about
40 miles per hour, without any kind of sig
nal, and ran over a valuable mare of Mr.
Hills's, cutting off both of her hind legs.
A man wiped his eyes with the back of a
glove with which he had handled burnt
lubricatingotl. He is lying off. If any
one asks why let him try it.
Judge Strahan, Mr. Kline, C. W. Watts
Esq.. J. J- Dubnrille Esq., of Albany, and
A. W. Hay ward, of Chicago, are down the
Umpqua, on a banting and fishing expedi
tion. These gentlemen are in obarge of Hon.
J. C. Hatobinson, and are guaranteed they
will have a pleassnt time. Rosebnrg Re

It was all the result of a ponderous edi
torial in this morning's mrA,de voted en
tirely to the editor of the Dkmocrat. The
HraU editor has become transmogrified.

and appearance of a warrior, but.
nately for the reputation of hi prowess
and valor, he is armed only with a dilapi
dated squirt-gun. Some mysterious power
behind the throne moves him to cavort and
pour out the vials of his wrath upon the
head of the editor of the Democrat. And
those are the beautiful, sweet-scented, gen
tlemanly words which he applies to us :
Lie, "dishonest," "equivocating," "dlsln-
genuous, "barefaced falsehood, ' "ungen
tlemanly," "campaign lies of the Demo
crat," et cetera. And all this bcrauae the
Democrat objects to the Herald view of
the tariff as shown In Its party platform. He
is wounded nigh unto death because he says
we misquoted him. He,aione,ras the only
msn Into whose mind ever entered the
thought that we were quoting him. All
others of ordinary acumen knew that we
quoted exactly what the answer of any one
would be that was defending the platform
of hie party against the objection we raised.
He says It l ungentiemaniy tc misquote
any one. Ah, sir, were you cognlxant of
that truth a few days ago when you quoted
an extract from Mills speech In the House
In detente of his bill.when In fact Mr. Mills
had not used one line of the extract you
quoted ? A man who lives In a glass house,
(snd one of very thin glass too,) should be
exceedingly csreful how he throws stones.
The Herald editor says that jute sacks do
not fall in the list of articles thst are enti
tled to protection under the republican plat
form because they are not manufactured
here. Let us see. The Democrat did
mot say thst "the sacks themselves are man
ufactured in Calcutta," as the Herald says
we did, but we said this : "And very near
ly all the sacks used by our farmers are
msnufactured in Calcutta." Here the Her
ald man misquotes our statement of tact,
and were it not that we are otherwise en
gaged we wouid Horace Grecly him at
once. But if iute sacks are not entitled to
protection under the republican platform,
why did alt the republican members of
Congress the other day .including 1 lermann,
vote to take them from the free list In the
Mills bill and restore the present duty of
40 per cent ? Your party stands on record
as being opposed to putting sacks on the
free list and there is no wriggling oat of it.
The Herald says it has always been In favor
of a full and fair revision of the tariff, but
that means nothing. The tariff migh be
revised by raising the rates of duties as well
as reducing them. What farmers and la
boring men and all others interested in this
matter of tariff want to know Is this : Are
you In favor of putting jute and jute sacks
on the free list . Are you In favor of put
ting lumber and salt on the free list i The
interests of the farmers uemand that these
questions should be answered in the affirm
ative, but you will not answer them that
way nor In any other way commit yourself
The course of this paper lias ilwavs
been for a full and fair revision of the
tariff. Herald.
A statement of that kind does not define
your attitude on the tariff question. A
person who reads your statement above
knows no more about our views of the
tariff question since reading it than he did
before. A "revision" means simply an
Malteration"or "amendment" of the present
law. To Increase the duties on one or more
articles would be a "revision." To make a
uniform Increase on alt articles would be a
revision." To increase on some and re
duce on the others wouid be a "revision.'
What farmers and laboring people would
like to know Is, whether you favor putting
wheat sacks and twine, lumber and salt on
the free list.
Max Baumgart is noted for dry humor
Unfortunately his hearing is not good
Yesterday he passed by a couple of his
1 friends standing on the street talking. Max
J stopped and said to one in the most serious
manner : "Is Harrison dead ?" Both gen
tlemen answered in the same breath, "No
whv ?" Max. pointing in the dn tctlon of
a couple of men with Harrison hats on, re
plied : "Well, what are those fel.ows in
mourning for ?" (The HarrUon hat has a
very broad black band.)
The Herald will not soy that it is in fa
or of putting wheat sacks on the free list
It will not say vhat it favors potting salt
and lumber on the free list And et no
one denies that it would be largely in the
interest of fanners to do so. Speak up,
nKlahhnr. nnd let the farmers know what
vou think of these things
George W. Clarkson, an educated color
ed Republican of Cleveland, Ohio, supports
President Cleveland because the free whis
ky platform, he writes the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, "makes me question, as I never be
fore questioned, the sincerity of the Repub
lican party's profession of love for the col
ored men of the South. They could not
do the race a greater injury. My people in
New Orleans and in the South generally
have no enemy except whisky."
The Rosburg Review is doing faithful
work in disseminating the doctrines of the
true faith. It makes this pointed remark :
"Illinois Democrats have placed the name
of the largest prison contract laborer in the
state at the head of the Cleveland and Thur-
man electoral ticket Honest laboring men
must be immensely pleased at this delicate
intimation of Democratic interest.
