A Vacation Trip. At 10:45 o'clock
Monday one of thelKMocRATmen returned
Irom his summer vacation, which began
at 5 o'clock Saturday evening. At that
time, In company with Mr. V. M. French,
he went to the popular summer resort of
Sodavllle, where his batter three-quarters
were already awaiting him. It was be
tween 7 and 8 o'clock when that veritable
mountain resort wan reached. The cooj
breezes leaping down between the many
outtcs made a characteristically cheerful
greeting of welcome to u A day and two
nights were sufficient to make us acquaint
cd with the situation of affairs. Mr. H. i.
Klum runs the only hotel at Sodavllle
which Is entirely inadequate to the dc .
mands of the public; but Mr. Klum keeps a
nlcs house for such a resort, sets good pala
table tables and everything Is neat and
clean. He is a genial, safe man to stop
with, and has two or three jewels of cooks
ami waiting girls around, one of whom is
the lively daughter of Mr. A. B. Morris.
The time at Sadavlltc, one of the oldest re
sorts in Oregon, by the way, is principally
pent In trips to and from the soda springs
and sitting around in the shade and talking.
It takes half the time to get acquainted
there that it does at Newport or llwaco.
Saturday nigltt an impromptu dance was
given, music by a left handsd fiddler. It
was principally a one set affair. Sabbath
was spent quietly and peaceably, very few
visitors appearing during the day. ' Rev.
Moll, oft ho Evangelical church, preached
in the afternoon. They tell us that as quiet
as things appear many a nice little episode
occurs to make life agreeable; such as buy
ing up a lot of chickens before hand and
m iklnj pretended raids on the neighbors'
coops at night, to get them, engaged in at
the expense of even innocent young lady
boarders. m'ng the curiosities around
SiJiville U Mr. Eichler's drove of rabbits
which we wjre specially favoreJ in bein-j
allowed to see, as it was reported to us that
they were not open to everybody who
caLed. He has about fifty, white,' black,
maltose and gray, sprightly vet tame fel
lows, to s-e whose antics is a small sized
circus. Four or five tenters are on the
hill and probably about twenty boarders.
Among those stopping there for a dav or
two, a week or a month, were Mrs. Cecil,
of Umatilla county; Miss Henderson, a
tivelv young ladr from Portland; Lawyer
Beach 'and wife, of Portland; William Cole
and sister, of Turner; I. K. Weatherford
an J wife, of Albany; Muse Burnett and
Jacobs, two of Corvallis' fair daughters;
Hon William Cvrus, of Scio, who was the
guest of Mr. Wil u Gaines; Mr. Guthrie, a
handsome railroad man from Portland;
Mrs. f. M. French and children, Mrs. Ross
and children and Mrs. Nutting and daught
er, of Albany. Dr. Odell, formerly of
Chicago, is located there and is doing a lu
crative practice. Mavor Fisher is running
a grocery store, and Recorder I leal v sees
that justice hangs properly in the balance.
People are going and coming continually
from Sodavilie, and it wilt pay any one to
go there for a few days, paticularly those
wanting rest.
Lkbaxox. Miss McConnell is teaching
a writing class in the public school build
ing. She will also teach a class at Soda
vllle Mr J G Eaton, living in the north
ern part of Lebanon, raised this year, on
3 acres of stumpy ground, 144 bushels per
acre.... As young Mr Guire and mother
were coming from Fox Valley to Jordan
in a cart, at the grade the cart tipped over
and cart, horse and passengers rolled down
the hill about twenty varda. Mrs Guire
and son were badly bruised up but not seri
ously hurt. Cor On Tuesday last as
Mr W. A. Gleason was gathering apples
on his farm on Hamilton creek, ten miles
from town, he slipped and fell a distance
of twelve feet, sustaining a dislocation of
the shoulder blade and collar bone, besides
receiving internal injuries to such an extent
that he remained in an unconscious con
dition until the arrival of Dr Lambcr
aon, some three hours after the accident.
The doctor succeeded in resuscitating him
and attending to his injuries, and at last
accounts he was resting easy. Mr Glea
son is 66 years of age and a good citizen,
Exfrets.
Albany College, The Albany Col
lege will open on the nth of September
under very favorable circumstances. The
number of new scholars promises to be
larger than for several vears, and the facul
ty will be better prepared to meet the de
mands of an increased attendance. The
College building has undergone repairs
and has been generally improved until
it will be a place a student may be proud to
spend a year in. The re-arrangement and
decoration of the second story rooms has
added wonderfully to their appearance
The chapel is now a pleasant room, with
entrances from the two society rooms, and
will be a much better place than before for
holding entertainments. Our citizens
should continue to support the College to
the best of their means.
Mechanics' Fair. -The Democrat is
in receipc of the usual complimentary tick
et of admission to the Portland Mechan
ics Fair which opens in that city on'the
4th and closes the 27th of October. It has
always been an opportunity of both pleas
ure and profit to visit this fair, and the at
tendance no doubt will be much larger
this season than usual.
Wheat. People who trade with Conn
Bros do as well as those who sell their
wheat above market price. They get the
best goods at the lowest prices. With
small expenses they are able to sell their
goods at the lowest prices. For groceries
and crockery ware call on them in the
Pfeiffer Block, just west of the Revere
House.
The Wiiickkkork. Wheal is quoted at
85 cents In San Francisco. Frelght.sacks,
insurance, etc., are 23 cents. This would
make the legitimate price here 62 cents.
64 is being paid. At Corvallis f Is offered.
Why so much?Becaue they want to induce
farmer to store thcre.and becaua- there is
a local strife. Last year, we are told, they
paid at times two cents less than in Albany.
It pays In the long run to follow the mar
ket that has a reliable bottom to It. If you
do store in L orvallis, which I all right auv
way if you live nearer that place,we advise
von to soil a! once at thai hjure, t orviilds
is no doubt generally as good a market as
Albany, hut it it a great Injustice for deal
ers to offer a forced price and then drop to

Albany Peaches. The Democrat has
about concluded that Albany is a peach
country, so many fine peach trees are -being
brought to our notice. Capt. E. J
Launing has just handed us an eight inciter
that is a beauty. It was from a tree raised
from a seed planted three years ago. Our
citizens are advised to plant peach trees
generally on the south side of some build-
ing, anu iney win oc sure 10 reap a narveat
in the future.
Ax Oi o Story, Thi story is circulated
that a few years ago a man traded a mote for
twenty acre of land uear Tacoma, and that
he has just been offered $10,000 for it; bat
wants 920.000. This some story is told about
nearly every .-ity tnat amounts to anything.
As soon as we have time we are going to work
Bp ooe about Albany.
A Will. Some time ago Mr. D'Houdt
died in California leaving property valued
at $80,000 to $100,000. He left all of his
property to his second wife according to
the will in her possession : but it seems
that he had before made another will leav
ing nearly all of the property to Mrs. Van
Windle, who resides in the Third Ward in
this city. It is now proposed to contest the
last will.

Waterloo, which is now on top. Fine lo

Mr. D. Informed us that he intends to make
Crook county his home In the future. . . ,
The vegetable crops of Crook county will
probably be better this year than ever be
fore, and in consequence the green grocer,
or man who chances to have a few bushels
o! potatoes to sell, will not be In a position
to control the lives and destinies of the peo
ple In this town. Prineville papers.
Tiik Si 1 v krton Traurdy. In refer
ence to the Sllverton affair mentioned In
the Democrat the YidtttA Salem says :
On Friday afternoon Charles Smith, a
son-fn-law of James Magers, who lives on
his ranch near Sllverton, became Involved
in a dispute with one of his Chinese handa,
n the course of which he broke a fork
handle over the Chinaman's head. It seems
that the Chinaman and a white boy were
loading some sheave and the toad slipped
a little. The Chinaman was endeavoring
to hold the grain on when Smith came
along. The boy blamed the Chinaman for
the load alipping. Ihe latter denied it, ami
the lie passed between the two. Then
Smith took a hand in the controversy, and
the Chinaman called him a liar, whereupon
Smith struck him with the fork on the back
of the head, tearing the scalp, and aa near
as can be learned, fracturing the skull.
The Chinaman was carried. Insensible into
a new house just being built and made
com fort fable and a doctor sent for. Are-
po.tofthe occurrence reached Sllverton,
and Smith was arrested on Saturday."

eron won without an effort, and even run
the race over to give his opponent a chance.
Probably $500 was taken out of Portland on

tlemen, though always a Republican, says
he will vote for Cleveland because his ad
miniatration has been honest, clean and
business like and his tariff views In accord
with the best interests of the masses of the
people. I Ic savs the Providence Journal,

Bought a Bakery. Mr. Louis Meyer,

bought a bakery at that city for $1500, and
after a varied experience lost all he invest
ed, heside meeting with varied experiences,

Want to Come. Mr. Jay Blain, Secre
tary of the Board of Trade has shown us
a letter from a Paper Mill Company in
California in which they state they design
to move their mill and asking what induce
ments the people of Albany offer. The
output of paper of their mill is 7 tons per
day. It would be a good thing to have in
Albany.
Dismissed. The case of thetate
against T. A. Gross,of the Depot Hotel, for
assault and battery, as stated in Saturday's
Democrat, was called before Justice Brink
on Monday. The prosecuting witness,
Arthur Knoeller, falling to appear, It was
dismissed. Young Knoeller had left the
city.
Sham Things. Mr. William Fortmiller
has a fine stock of pillow sham holders, at
almost half the customary price. Also a
stock of two part mattresses, a new thing,

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.
The Man About Toys waa about to tog
gait chat Lion county have a county fair ; but
taen we are getting unrfc of weaty of it. Sap
pete, instead, Albany gets up a Meehaeios
fair 00 a small scale, for fasten 00 using the
Optra House this fall. One could easily be
arranged that would at least exhibit oar beet
products. By leaving out oraxy qoilta and
merchants exhibits we could make a display
that would help materially to advertise this
oity and county, exhibiting only the pro
duct of our soil and factories, and leaving
out many of the customsry exhibits and the
fountain until wa shall have a sufficiently
largo building.
Spite seems to play aa important part in
onr every day lives. It crops oat on every
hand, governs our aoi bus frequently, and as
well imbi iters many lives. The spirit of
ray sage is about as rife to-Jay as it was is
the days of tho Loatherstooking tales. The
golden rule is forgotten, and people boat for
extra ohaeks to slap The fact is one has to
put up with lot io this world. There are
two sides to all questions, and people should
make op their minds to make tho bast of
things. ootnatioMM, though, a tremendous
mountain arises that is very difficult to
ollmb.

Chassploa Wins; Nhot of the World.
The name of Captain Boarardua Is
household word In the sporting circle of
e ery land. He I the undisputed greatest
ivlng marksman; in May, 1875, he carried
away the champion medal of the world and
all the honors In a memorable contest
ince, through a auccession of twenty-five
smoke crowned encounters, he has held
undisputed and victorious possession of
the everywhere coveted trophy. He Is the
only man that ever killed 100 birds in as
many shots, and who broke 1000 glass balls
in 1000 shot in all in one hour and six
minute. His remarkable record is with
out precedent or parallel, and the most ex
pert handler of the shotgun have tried in
vain to equal the least of his well known
achievements. Ills oldest son Is master of
the rifle and the acknowledged superior of
the most unerring shots know to the sport
ing world, and ttie youngest, a boy of
only twelve years, while rapidly maneuv
ering on roller skates, breaks glass ball
(with his rifle) held in hi father's unpro
tected hands, and supplements this amazinu
performance by ringing a target bell, at
twenty paces, sixteen times in twenty sec
onds. The most marvelous display of
shotgun and rifle practice ever seen at one
time any where. His other sons are equal
ly proficient, This noted family of crack
shots can be seen In connection with the
numberless other attractive features of

where the party camped for the night. The
dense fog tota'ly obscured the horizon.

The Foster Case. The case of Neal
against Foster, which has been decided in
favor of the plaintiff, so far aa the Foster
block Is concerned, the transfer of that
building being declared fraudulent, we are
told will be appealed. Neal is a Caltfor
nian, to whom the transfer of two judg
ments wa made by Portland houses for
the purpose of getting the case in the U.
U. courts. Under the decision Mr. W. H.
Goltra will get nothing on his judgments
as they had been settled in the circuit court.
So after all, should the appeal be sustained,
the farmers, of the county, who were the
most needy' losers, will not get a cent.
