The lollow ing is from a Polk county paper and is show ing the development around Sa em, that e entually mii-t chara.'terlic all Willam ette towns, for thix Vallev k destined to be one of the greatest fruit countries in world: The Polk count v country jut acros the river is called West Salem, and 1 becoming thickly settled by persons buy ing live and ten acre lot. While their business may be in Salem, they cannot only live cheaper, but can also, on their little home pla.e raise almost enough to support an ordinary family New comers from the East are fast getting Orcgonians in the notion of having small, well culti vated farm instead of hundred of acres only half tilled. Di ElkMr. Felix OToole, died Sun day morning at 4:10 o'clock at his rooms in the Russ House, after a lingering illness of about nine months at the age of 74. The funeral services occurred this forenoon at 10 o'clock at the Masonic Hall, and were conducted under the auspices of the Ma sonic order, of wiich the deceased was a member. The attendance was large. Mr OToole came from Michigan to Albany in 1878, invested bis money here and lived becoming his advancing years on hi rent als and interest, hi property growing in value, under his careful management. Hi face was familiar on the streets of Albany for many year. "Doc" as he was famil iarly known wasof a very social nature and had a good word for those he met. He will be missed from our mid-... A Wh ale. While at the Bay last Satur day a company of Albany people went to Alteaon the "Mischief," a very fine trip, saving sea-sickness.

A a result three rich farmers and their wive will leave there on the aist of this month for Albany. From here they will take two teams and go on a three week trip in the Cascades. They wilt bring their tents, etc., but will need teams for the purpose. This It one of the finest tript In the world for those who like hunting and flhing and grand cenery, gorget made by the "tear of ages," rough, rugged, bcalthy surroundings. We are glad it 1 attracting attention, and our cltixcns thould asUt in bringing our summer resorts In this connty to the front, a they deerve more notice than they are receiving. Dr. OToolk'n Will.

The Dem ocrat ha notified the Portland drummcri 'hat the back down ha been fixed up and there Is money here for a bet. Com rete Sewer Pipe A Democrat man meandering around thl morning for a bit of news, entered the establishment of John Hoffman & Co., at the intersection of First and Railroad street and there wit nessed the process of manufacturing con crete sewer pipe, tiling, etc. These gentle men are engaged in making concrete sew er pipe for the sewer now being construct ed on Railroad street. The pipe is 30 inches In diameter in the clear, two feet long and two l.iches thick. Each section weighs 450 pounds. We hope to see these gen tlemen build up a profitable bulne Woolen Mills. -The present status of woolen millcs for this city may be put at follows: Mr. Kay will come for $15,000 and a perpetual water power. Mr. Craw ford, who owns the water power will sell It for about $150,000, and will not grant any perpetual right to the water power. The facts are before you and you can figure it out as you please So long as Mr. Kay In cludes the water power part of it there it evidently no chance of our getting the mills. Arrangements thould be made to overcome thi. Result op a Ql arrkl.

Ocr Own Peaches. While our friends Phillips and Peacock got in ahead on wat ermelon and grapes, it wa left for Mr Chester Skcels to take the Democrat of fice by storm on the peach question. He ha disposited on our table six as fine Craw ford peache as ever graced the table of a Crocker or Stanford, or bloomed on the trees of Southern Oregon. They were raised in his orchard across the river and are specimen of fruit to be pi oud of. One at least was )XX inches in circumference. Boomk. We read accounts of a tre mendous boom at Whatcom, W. T , but a gentleman recently from there says only one house i being erected in the city, most of the boom being on paper. Right here Albany doesn't want any paper booms, nor boom at all. It want a steady but rapid growth, such as the city can stand without collapsing. They Celedrai-e.

The Sell Brother who, with their plen did amusement organization, have been be fore the public ftwover sixteen year, were never known to do anything by halve. Whether In concentrating and exhibiting the newest and most noted attractions that capital, energy and good judgment can procure, or in prominently, conspicuously and unprecedently announcing them to the public, they have no equal in America or in fact, the world. Fame has been blatant in the praises of amusement organizations other than theirs, which, In fact, does not deserve a moiety of the popularity and patronage that should be, and is, extended to the Sells Brothers' always stupendous and always artistic exhibition. Yet fame has never denied her laurels to the Sells Brothers' show, but the trophies she has be stowed have ever been true and not for meritritious merit. They not only have an exceptionally entertaining and instructive exhibition, but none know better the meth ods of bringing it prominently and notice ably before the people. Every bill board and dead wall within the city, and in the surrounding suburbs for a radius of twenty miles, Is a blaze with most artistic and ef fective pictorial potters. Illustrated couri ers and progams have been disseminated by the thousands, and the advertisement col umns of the various city papers are replete with appropriately worded advertisements. As elsewhere announced the show will be In Albany, Monday, August 27th. 500 IlEWAKD By P. Cohen. Will any Republican solve the following problem, for me ? Why Is It that the Repub lican wool buyers who think that Harrison will be elected and that the Mills bill will not pass, and consequently no tariff taken off wool, have been and are now offering less for wool than I am, who believes that Cleveland will be elected and that the reve nues of the government will be reduced to a point to meet the just demands of the government only ? In order to satisfy your self who pays the least price look around and come to me last to ascertain my figure.
