Two Men. Sunday forenoon two
drunks were towed into the caliboose
though one of them declared there was no
one big enough for the job. In the even
ing they succeeded in prying the door open
wiih a board they had wrenched from
the room they were in, and were once
more free men. They gazed wildly about
harly knowing which way to go, when a
man standing in front cried out that the
marshal was coming, when they climbed
the fence and ran for dear life. They were
last seen going towards Salem.

Coast, and now a resident of California,says
that the more he goes over this valley the

and get on in the world without making a
rapid fortune. He prophesies a bright fu

Thky Insiruct Ua. Every once In a
while some fool of a stramrer comes Into
the city and looks around a little, and then
with his superior Intelligence Immediately
sees how things are being run In the wrong
way, gets his pencil and writes a long thesis
to some local paper about how it ought to
be done. When he gets through his chaotic
ideas have simply caused confusion in the
public mind, for he attempts to cover a
thousand fields, and mixes cows, acwers
and improvements generally with bad
sidewalks and big debts, and, bless us, af
ter all, he doesn't know half as much about
the matter as some of us who haven't had
the enormous advantage of coming from
some little town In Kansas or Missouri
Anybody knows cows arc nuisances and
broken sidewalks a disadvantage to a city,
and that sewers must le had, but there U a
big disagreement about whether the cllv
should be run In debt $100,000 at a jump
and all the sewers built at once.
Bp
Teddy Gamble.- A great many who at
tended the entertuinments given by the
Juvenile Opera Company in this city Sat
urday afternoon and evening, pronounced
them about the most enjoyable ever given
in Albany. The Mikado was played In the
afternoon and Olivette in the evening. The
Democrat was represented only at the
latter. Olivette is a very sprightly opera
and thejuveniles handled it like profession
als. Teddy (iambic asCoquelicot, the Due
Des Ifs fool, in the plain language of the
country editor carried the house by a cy
clone. ' The Duke, by Julia Martin, was
ably sustained, and h n character that
catches the eye of the bald headed bach
elor at once. Miss Km ma Berg as the
Coutcss sustained her part in a charming
manner, and Miss Cleveland as Olivette
fairly takes the sails out of the Canadian
fishermen's boats. When children equal
old stagers what is the world comlpg to.
this week the company play In Salem,
and as it Is slate fair week a big business
may be expected, something the com
pany deserves.
Mixed Ownership. The following
from a paper in another county in all prob
ability may apply to nearly every county
in the State ; and in all likelihood to Linn
county: "It is said that some road ploas
belonging to the county have been appro
priated to private use. A very llttte of that
ought to go a long way. And we know
that some such plows are standing out tak
ing the weather. Nothing more could be
expected of farmers, who let their costly
farm machinery and implements stand out
to rust and rot down during the winter.but.
surely, they don't make road supervisors
out of such timber as that."
Married On Sunday, Sept. t6th,i8S8,
at the residence of the bride's parents, near
Tangent, by Rev. E. R. Prichard, of Al
bany, Mr. George Swank, of Idaho, and
Miss Annie Knightcn, of Writ Albany.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. L. Knight
en and the groom is a son of Mr. Wcs.
.wank,formcrlv a resident of Linr. county.
After visiting in the Valley this week, the
happy couple will go to their new home in
Idaho, and the good wishes of the Demo

Voted for Him. Speak
ing of those gentlemen who
voted for William Henry
Harrison, the grand-father of
Ben. Harrison. Mr. Cowan,
if.it her of Banker Cowan, of
mf this city, cast nis vote for him
In 1840 ; but In November,
1888 expects to cast his vote against the
grand-son and for Graver Cleveland. Now.
a -days because a man voted for the grand
father is no reason shv he should vote for
the grand-son.
Hop Picking.- Hon. F. C Hansard, of
Lebanon Precinct, who has been in the
city says hop-picking is being rushed
around Lebanon. There aie about eight
yards in the vicinity of that city, five to
fourteen acres in extent, most of which are
yielding well. Fifty cents a box is being
paid for picking and men, women and chil
dren are a work, in fact any one from ten
to eighty who wants a job.
The Lebanon Line - Quite a brisk lit
tle business has already been done over this
line,despatches having been sent to Chicago
with returns and to many other points over
the Coast. As the line is connected only
with the Postal Telegraph lines it will be
somewhat of a benefit to the Albany of
fice, as all dispatches are retransmitted by
the agent here.
Very Polite. Albany should be proud
of its sidewalks. They are so all-fired po
lite that they will rise 'up on their tiptoes
and bow to you, whether you know them
or not ; but then they are not always polite
either for they sometimes ire too familiar
with the girls' toes, and well, it doesn't
do to investigate the qualities of our side
walks too much.
It Pay . 1 his should be an era for sup
porting home institutions, and that is one
reason why it pays to insure with the Al
bany Company. Besides the Company is
bsolutely reliable and is promptness itself.

A Collision. Last Tuesday the Cali
fornia train in coming into Shcdd a, a
rapid rate ran into the rear of the freight
train also headed this way. The shock
was a great one, and mashed the engine
up in a serious manner, besides ruining
most of the bumpers on the freight cars(
The passenger engine was rendered useless
until it is repaired. As the collision hap
pened between the ends of the Shedd
switch the freight engine was a'tached to
the passenger ears and brought the train
Into Albany an hour Ute. Ihe train was
a little late at Shedd, and it was said to be

A QUERY ANSWERED,
Harriimo, Sept. 17th, 1888.
Editor Democrat I clip the following
from your Harrlsburg correspondence, In
your Issue of the 14th Inst 1
"Still the query is, why don't we get as
much for our wheat as at Monroe. Halsey
or Junction t They lead us in price con
tinually. Are the freights so hlsh or Is
there a 'trust' or combine arrangement."
The person who wrote the above Is either
grossly ignorant or alms to willfully mis
represent the facts. Harrlsburg warehouse.
men were the first to mention 73 cents per
bushel spot cash net to the farmer for
wheat on the O. & C. K. R. from Halsey
south ; hence 'that part relating prices
at Halsey and Junction City aa compared
hIiIi Harrlsburg is false ; aa relates to
Monroe they have paid higher prices than
we have, owing to the competition with
Corvallis and a disposition to speculate on
uture prices of wheatand I concede
them the right to speculate but that does
ot Imply a claim of Harrisbug wheat buy
ers to do an illegitimate business because
somebody else does, when Harrlsburg
buyer paid 73 cents per bushel, Albany
paid 7 cents : freight from here to San
Francisco via Albany and Yaquina. Is
$4,60 per ton, (via Portland $4.90) while
Albany pays ftJI r ton, making an ac
uai difference, between the net price they
receive and what Harrishurtr buyers re
ceive of 5 4-10 cents per bushel, or when
Albany ,ys 75 cents per bushel for wheat,
larrlsburg should pay 60 0-10 cents to re
ceive the same profit that Albany does.
Now these being the incontrovertible facts
u regard to this matter 1 ask von Mr.
Queryman to retract his unfair Insinuation
regard to the "trust or combine." Your
correspondent ought to be fair enough to
give this little town all the credits It is just-
entitled to and "mo' too, for the lor
knows, it needs it."
