In the Comi'ACT. --The Albany Farm-.
ers and Merchants Insurance Company
has entered the Pacitic Union inaurancc
compact, which now includes every com
pany doing business in the state. This
places it on an equal footing with the other
campanies, and there is no question that it
will do more than hold its own.
How Occupied. On the completion of
the Foshay &i Mason store, which will oc
cur in about two weeks, Jos. Webber will
occupy the west side with his barber shop
and bath rooms, while the W-stcrn Union
telegraph office and Wells & Fargo's ex
press office will use the east side, the room
being dixided for these several purposes.
Mr. W. C-Tweedalc will move into his part
of the block in about a month.
The Salmon Run. Parties from the
Bay inform us that there is being an un
commonly fine salmon run, and the can
neries are doing a thriving business. Yes

AL.BAJN1, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31,
Tiik Corvai.mm Market. -A Corvallla
paper says It doesn't cost i jpente to get
wheat to San Francisco, and insists that
the market justifies the present, price paid
there, 7 j cents. At that time 68 cents was
paid In Albany. Contrary to the ..wrrr
the Albany warehouse men make tludr
own prices and arc governed by the orders
ol exporter the same Rs they are there,
and do not follow the millers. If Corvallls
keeps this four cents advance up we most
certainly shall have to admit that Corvallls
Is the best market, and vet Albany Is ahead
of the rest of Its neighbors. We are really
ObM bat at sea In the matter.
A U n in. mi Center. -The project of
building a railroad from Albany to Astoria,
which the Drmih-r at mentioned several
days ago, seems to be aeiumiug the form of
a great possibility, though not by any
means a probability at present. A road
through will probably be built from As
torla Into Tillamook county, and eventual
ly towards Albany ; but the present object
of Astorians Is to get the trade of Tllla
mookipimty. The time w ill come, though,
the rTEMiK:RAT predict, when railroada
will center from Albany towards all partt
of the coast, for Albany is destined to be
the railroad center of f5regon.
Tmi; Cu m:. Referring to the cauc of
the rise in the price o( wheat, a prumlurnt
grain shipper of Portland said that the San
Francisco rise was due immediately to ad
vices from Liverpool to the effect that Eu
ropean crops would be very much injured
this year by unusually heavy rains through
out the continent. Heavv rain at ti ls
lime of year in the grain district of Europe
invariably cause a raise in the wheat mar
ket of I'.ngUtnd. Indian crops arc about
the same as usual, but the Chinese market
will require more grain than last year.
The rise is thought to be permanent, a" (he
Liverpool market continues to stiffen and
show signs of a much further Increase In
prices. To-day the price in Albany ia 68
cents. I he S. r . nrlec last evening wa jO
cents, with a lower tendency.
Ski true. The follow tog from the AessxWr,
of Corvalits, also reminds us that tbero i a
rich section of country acroe the Willamette
that ia tribut .ry to Albeo). There ought to
be bridgea both at Albany and Cor vs. I ji:
"The ioeressed ennat of wheat from across
the nycr 1 a reminder that a very run aeo
tton of country, naturally tributary to Cvtf
baa been practically cut off from us. Oar
eomrnnrctal iinptrtancc would be nearly
doubled by a free bridge across the Willam
ette at tbt place, beesase We should have
m arly double the country to draw horn. Of
roorsr, the buddti g of the oollege and court
houan i,d the expected building of a tiae
school house, make the mention of another
expeueive undertaking :-, .-! u taut the
investment in a bridge would quickly pay re
torna."
A Pretty BlOMT. -A few daya ago an
excursion party ol three teams from N'ew.
port to Seal Rock, had an interesting ex
perience with a deer. They were driving
along when a fine fellow, with large antler J
appeared on the beach near the high bank.
The teams Mirroondcd him, so that he wa
hemmed In, and they could easily have
hit him with a revolver; but there was not
even a blow gun in the crowd. He finally
made a datt for liberty and succeeded in
getting past the teams and up the bank at
a depressed place. One of the driver U
rid to have neatly gone craxy it anticipa
tion of what he would have done if be had
bad bis gun with him.
From Wh umxi Mr WUwetl arri.ed in
Albany to day from the Sound country.
He left herein April, went to Whatcom,

boom atruck the placc.aml now his proper
ty is worth seven limes what it cost, lie
thinks the place has a big I dure, as well In
fact a on paper. Already two railroads
ure building from that point. Mr. Witel
expect to make that city his home.
An Ot.o Pai'er. -Mrs. Hardy has shown
us a copy of the Ulster County iiaxtttr, pub
lished at Kingston, New York, fan. 4, tboo.
It gives an account of the death and burial
of General Washington. It is remarkable
mainly in showing the progress made in
the newspaper business since that period.
O. N. G. There arc now twenty-seven
companies of militia in the state, which is
made up of between 1 . ;. and 1,600 men.
In the First Regiment there arc eight
companies, In the Second nine and In the
I bird eight. UeMdcs tin there Isanc com
pany of artillery and one of cavalry. One
of these companies," F," and regiment, will
give a grand bad on Sept. 14. Put your

through Albany on September 4th, going
to Columbus. How would it do to show
these Californians what fruit is. As they
will be on a special train there would be
plenty of time for opening their eyes.
Stop It. A Missourian has just stopped
his paper for the following reasons : "I

Bio Work. One day this week the
Douglas & Batch thresher threshed 2188
bushels of grain, 1688 of wheat and 500 of
oats, the biggest days work yet in that lo
cality. Children Cry for
Great Negligence. Friday about 9 o
clock pm Dr, McAllister was driving north
along Ellsworth Street when bis team
without any warning, went Into the lattera
sewer being built across that street and
through the alley to liroadalbln Street. It
was about six or seven feet deep at that
place. One of the boraes tumbled on the
other, and In their desperate effort to get
loose kicked and bruised each other In
serious manner. The buggy remained in
the street and was uninjured. Aftci about
an hour's work five or sl men, by prying
and tearing up the sidewalk, succeeded in
getting the animals out of the sewer In
rather of a pitiable condition. Dr. Mc
Allister was thrown out of the buggy and
bad one leg considerably bruised so that he
goes with a limp. The reason the accident
Happened was that the Iioclor did not sec
the sewer ; and the reason he failed to see
the sewer was the absence of a lantern.
contrary to the ordinance providing for
one. There was not even a temporary
railing up. Another thing : the ordin
ance specially providea that a sewer shall
only lie built half way across a etreet at a
time, so as to give teams an opportunity to
pasa. rhl was built the whole distance
across. So a case of double dereliction of
duty la preaentcd. We understand Dr. Mc
Allister will present a bill to the city for
damages, and unless It is paid the city will
hive a suit on its hands. According to the
present appearance of things the case Is
rather of a plain one. It looks as if it Is one
of great negligence.
Three or Them. -They stopped off
Thursday on their way to the great Sound
country, from just where we do not know.
Pwo were cooks and one had been a stieet
carcollecter They wereunfortnnatc enough
to go into Hale llackcnsto's saloon in the
evening. One of them, who gave Ida name
aa Jeaae Smith, during the day bad $60 in
his purse and a stopover ticket. Mr. Stuart
the R. R. man, saw the money In a barber
shop, and a number of other got a squint
at It, so ft waa a fact. Mr. Smith was fouud
bock of Uackcnslo'e saloon sometime after
King into it, ami his pockets were empty,
r and one of hia companions, 1 1 Mltchel,
were arrested and allowed their freedom on
condition that they leave the city, which
they did. N'o. t" was not to be found.
Smith told a pretty straight story. He said
ne nan so when he went Into the saloon,
he had given $jo fo one of the otter men
during the day, that he had been drinking
neavy, and oceanic unconscious, and that
was about the last he knew about the mat
ter. He at fir! laid the loss of the mooey
to Mitchell, hut afterwards said it must have
been taken from him in the wiloon. Of
course the IJi m.hr vi doesn't know anv-
thing about who the thief was; but there Is
little doubt Smith was robbed by some one.
We never knew an one vet to make any
thing by hanging around a saloon wlih
money in one s pocket book.
Woolex Mill Matter. Mr. The.
Kay, of Brownsville, was in the city.
ThW reminds us that this woolen mill mat
ter has been greatly tnutillated, until we
hardly know box it does stand As th
propositions have not been in writing they
have been indefinite. The $i(.ooo bonus
Is plain enough. The water power Is the
rub. What Mr. Kay wants in reference to
t is not that the city shall present him with
a perpetual right, but that he can secure
such a lease that he cannot be imposed on
in the future by the demand for exhorbitant
rates should the ditch change hands. He
l willing to pay a reasonable water rent
but want hie light secured In that re
spect. Then, as we understand It now,
what Mr Kay wants from our citizens ia
the site for the mil. and a bonus of $15,-
000, atui a satisfactory arrangement with
the owner of the ditch for water. Some
one suggests that the city take the whole
ditch plant, and issue bonds for the pay
ment of the same. A the Interest on the
bonds would be $10,000 to $ic,ooo that
would be a serious matter which deserves
deep consideration. We believe the mat
ter is situated so that good engineering
will get a mill here.

farm of 408 acres situated twelve miles east
of Albany, and a timber claim of 15 acres
lying about five miles distant from his

In 187 j, hides were put on the free list
A loud lamentation of "Interested" gentle
men went up that the industry would be
ruined. But look at the result.
In 187 j.wlth a duty on hides.we exported
$1,445,1780! the raw material and $3,684,
oio of the manufactured product that Is to
say, leather In one form or another. Now,
If the theory of the high tariff people Is
sound, the result of taking off the duty
would have been the flooding of the coun
try with the pauper made leather and pau
per made shoes of Europe, the exportation
of more raw material anJ the ruin of our
tanning and shoemaklng industries.
But Instead of this the exportation of
leather and the productsof raw hides falling
off it began Immediately to Increase, in
creased steadily year by year until 1887 we
exported $10436,1 38 of leather and Its man
ufaciured products, an increase of 300 per
cent in five years. On the other hand,
white In 1873 with a duty on hide we ex
ported $1445,178 cf raw hidrs nnd kin .,
we exported in 1887, with no duty at atl.but
$7''5.625 worth. In other words,instead of
sending more raw material abroad for for
eign workmen to work up we kept practi
cally all our raw material at home.increas
ed our export of manufactured p.oducts
threefold, thereby giving employment to
three times as many workmen at good
wages as were employed when hides were
protected by a duty. We have not only
supplied our own vastly increased home
market, the additional consumption in five
yea's being slightly over $io,ooo,ooo,using
practically a'l the home supply of hides, but
we have imported hides, worked litem up
nto manufactured products with American
abor, paid good wages and have sold that
product at good profit in the foreign mar
kets. Therefore the free listing of raw
hides has had thi result : It ha checked
exportation of raw material, increased pro
duction of leather and the products of
ieather.increased the prosperity of the tan
ner and shoemaker by giving them more
work to do, brought wealth to the country
by in teasing its exports,stimulated manu
facturera and giving employment to three
times aa many workmen as when hides paid
a duty.
Now these are tremendous facts, and the
newspaper that either through brazen au
dacity or benighted ignora..ce asserts that
the free listing ol hides was a mistake, had
better give them a little aerioua attention.
They are worth whole columns of specula
tions and assertions as to what might hap.
pen If this or that commodity should be
placed on the free list. Here is not what
might, could, should or would happer, but
what did happen He, Isthercsub '-be

it does make in the ingeniously contrived
thcoriet of the protectionist ! It uiu.U

Jt'TE SACKS.
The llrr.dil quotes an article from the
Tulimtft to show that the duty n jute sacks
Is a good thing for the farmer and people
at large. The Herald approves what the
Tiding ays,for it calls the artlc'c a"truth-
ful airing." The article pooh, poohs, and
belittles the protest which farmers set up
against the inexcusable folly and injustice
of making them pay a tax of one cent on
every bushel of grain to be shipped in sacks
when the government does not need this
tax, when there is but one jute mill on this
coast to protect, and whose employes are
argcly Chinamen at that, and at 1 lime
when farmers hnd extreme difficult) in
making bolb ends meet in raising grain to
ship to a free trade country to find a mark
et where they are compelled to compete
with the cheapest pauper labor In all the
world. In order to show the contemptu
ous manner and disdain with which the
Tidingt and Herald treat this important in
terest of the farmer, we quote what they
ay :
"The democratic papers have h id a vio
lent attack of sympathy for the American
farmer.brought about by the discovery that
adutv is imposed upon jute bags, anvmni
imr to two cents for a two-bushel sack
What a striking text for discourse upon
the iniquity of the tariff and its robbery of
the far. tiers ! One cent upon every ntisnei
of wheat stolen from the littbnd?wn
Mir thieving proreetiost

indeed "
We have heretofore sho. 1 1
umns that the farmers of this cou ') a
ship over two million bushels ot grain this
year. The tax on tne sscks necessary to
ship this grain will amount to over twenty
thousand dollars nearly enough to pay the
current expenses of Linn county for a
whole year. And this burden on the farm
ers the Herald treats as a mere bagatelle, a
mere trifle which farmers should quietly
submit to without a protest,and when they
do protest it treats them with ridicule and
sarcasm as shown above. The Herald will
find that the farmers are not fools about
this tax which they are compelled to pay
without reason or excuse. Every farmer
knows that an advance of one cent per
bushel on grain is a very materia' and im
portant addition to the profits, (if there are
any,) in wheat growing, and now, in view
of the fact that for several years it has been
a grave question whether grain growing
can be made to sustain itself.they are in no
humor to endure such ridicule as is extend
ed to them in the above extract. The Her
ald will find it a difficult and burdensome
task to make farmers believe that their fi
nancial condition is made better by taxing
them one cent a bushel on their grain with
out the shadow of necessity, reason or jus
tice. The providence Journal (Rep.) says: "It
was not England's free-trade policy, but
England's protective policy that ruined the
Industries of Ireland, and every student of
Irish history knows it. The Irish woolen
industry was absolutely prohibited at the
demand of the English manuf acturers,and
the linen industry, which was tolerated4 is
flourishing to-day."
