No Chuck. Mr. E. G. Cameron, the
Corvallis sprin'.er, write in the following
very gentlemanly manner In reference to
the reports made here, and published in
the Democrat, that the race here was
"chuck" affair. We like the ring of hit
letter, which make it look very much a If
he were not in the "chuck" business, and
perhaps Mr. Eoff is the same kind of a man
sfc We hope so, It Is a fact that In case like.
Ik this men who lose arc apt to cry "chuck
the first thing : "I wish to say for Mr. Eoff
that his principal backer of Portland, said
In my presence that Koff made his time all
right, and there were three stop watches
held on him on the race ground and no
complaint was then heard. I believe Mr.
Eoff to be a gentleman and I do not believe
he would do any such work. If Albany
boys saw fit to back Mr. Eoff, I certainly
was not to blame , as I told all who asked
me In regard to the race that I should beat
him if possible. How well I kept my prom
ise is well known ; and furthermore I have
never run a "chuck" race In my life and do
not propose to. Mr. Eoff, or no one else
has asked me to run another race, In Port
land or elsewhere. I am ready to match
Mr Eoff at any time end place, an v distance
for $500 aside. Respectfully, E. G. Cam
eron." Rather Arbitrary. A Salem paper
gives the following facts in reference to the
McKune examination at Sheridan, a very
arbitrary piece of business : "The Sheri
dan people made up their minds to quaran
tine against McMinnville and propose to
see that their orders are enforced. After
the killing, when McKune was arrested,
they would neither let him be taken to the
Infested city nor would thev permit the
prosecuting attorney from McMlnnville to
come to Sheridan. The preliminary ex
amination was made at Wiliamlna and Mc
Kune was acquitted."
A Curious Fact. la Chioa school be
gias at daylight and continues until it is too
dark to read. This is a bit of information
for those who wish to seek positions s
- .teachers iu the Celestial Empire, and may
a'.so account for the diejroual slope of the
Chinese optic, which is probably thus boot
oat of shape by study io the pliant year of
immaturity. Iu Albany, too, (Joan Bros,
the popular grocers, have about the aame
-ey. They are always at their post from
a little) after daylight to dark. Call 00 them
. for pore groceries, vegetables and the best
-crockery ware.
Theatrical. ' His Natural Life,' to be

and as given to so audience by this troup

At the Bay.--The run of salmon at
the bay Tuesday wa the largest of the
season. The boats averaged about fifty
silversides. Altogether this season the
averaze run hat been rather small, but the
recent change in the weather seems to
have a good effect on the fish. The Wil
liams cannery, owing to its superior nets,
tf has been doing much the largest luinc.
Less The total taxable property in the
jsjuiity tnu icar, to-wit : $5,44 5,964, is
vS')'1''' -'than last year, a fact not due
to the depreciation of property, which, on
the contrary has been generally raised, but
to the withdraw! of foreign mortgage
noncv and considerable of the school
fund.

ALBANY
A 1 '1 mots Cake. The case of Sovern
agt. Yoran just decided In the Supreme
Court was a very peculiar one. The follow
ing account is given of It : "Several years
since an old woman named Goodchlld died
near Eugene.leavlng a considerable amount
of property. A Mr. Sovern wa appointed
administrator of her estate, and the place
was sold to a man named Yoran. die day
Yoran's boy and a playmate were digging
about in the barn, and thev discovered two
cans full of moncv.nearly nil gold.onc con
talnlng IWOO and the other MM. They
turned their find over to Mr. Yoran, who
advertised It in the papers as lost property,
for the time required by statute, ro claim
ant appearing within the time prescribed,
he turned over one half the money to the
county .as required by statutc.and gave the
other to his boy. After the transaction was
completed Sovern. the admitiistrator.henrd
of it and began suit for the recovery of the
moncv. He was beaten in the circuit court,
and then appealed to the supreme court,
where a decision against him was also rend
ered. Then he got a rehearing, and Mon
day the case was again decided against
him,Judge Lord rendering the decision."
Vicious Animal.--On lat Wednesday
Frank Crabtrec and Henry Cyrus of the
Ferks were up on the headquarter of
Crabtrec Creek, when they killed an old
bear and two cub, When they brought
them into camp a mare, one of their team,
caught the bear scent, which neemed to mad
den her. Mr. Crabtreein passing near her
received a kick on the leg which knocked
him down, but broke no bone. When they
returned home and came to unhitch the
mare she seemed as madlv vicious as at
first. Fletcher Crabtrce.an old gentleman
73 year old, tcok the animal and led her
into the barn, when he reared and struck
him twice in the face and once on the crown
of the head, knocking him down. He wa
picked up and carried into the house.where
he remained unconscious for more than an
hour.but finally was restored to conscious1
ness,when it was found that no bones were
broken. Frank thinks his meat was more
like dear meat than bear meat.
Betting. Betting this year Is general
ly on a big scale, very few small bets be
ing heard of. One such one was that made
by two Albany men a few days ago on Cab
ifornia giving Harrison 5000 majority and
for the same amount on the general result.
The following big bets arc reported by the
Portland Ml : "Yesterday ML. A. Gunst
Se Co.' Mr Julius Levy, of Montana, bet
$1000 with a Harrison man who live in
Portland that Cleveland would continue to
hold down the Presidents chair for four
years longer. Billy Ayres, the sporting
capitalist, bet J J Maloncy, of Montana,
$500 that uen. Harrison will give Clevc
land a rest. From a private letter from M
A Gunst in San Francisco, it is learned
that he has $65,000 deposited in his hands
to await the result of the Presidential elec
tion." His Experiences. The Review tells
the following live experience on the part of
Uncle Have Prine : "Last Saturday Uncle
DavePrine returned from Missouri, where
he had been with several car-loads of horses
for sale. He icporta a very dull sate for
horses in that State, though he succeeded
in selling what horses he took with him.
He had considerable experience in ' he cities
of the East. One day he came in collision
with a cable street car and nearly knocked
it out of balance, and on another occasion
he tried to knock a lightning express train
off the track. The train es.aped without
damage, but Uncle Dave was considerably
used up."
Tax Levy. The county court placed
the tax levy for Linn county at 15 mills,
wnich will probably be lower than other
counties of the state with one or two ex'
ceptions, though it i a little higher than
last year. The court allowed a number of
bi Is, among others one of $ion of J. J.
Graham, for caring for small pox patient.
The county judge and commissioners
went into the country to examine some
bridges previous to adjourning.

n warrant was sworn out of Justice Luck

having set fire to Benswanger's brewery,
which was burned Tuesday evening. The
preliminary examination took place Thurs
day. All the evidence produced by the
prosecution was circumstantial, though
when linked together made quite a chatn of
testimony that was difficult to explain away,
and though not positively fixing the guilt
upon the accused parly, was deemed suf

In J aii..--Last Sunday a young man full
of gin was causing some disturbance on
First Street, when Policeman Wm. N. Mil
ler arrested hlm.and was about to take him
to the Culibooec, when a young man, the
"pal" of the first mentioned fellow, who
afterwards gave his nameasCha. Hannon,
stepped up and ordered Mr. Miller to leave
the fellow alone. Mr. Miller then endeav
ored to arrest Hannon, when he resisted In
a very fierce manner. In the squabble that
ollowed Mr. Miller was jerked against a
post, and fcll.dMocallng an arm at the elbow.
With the assistance of some bystanders
both of the me.i were arrested, Hannon on
ly after a hard struggle. He was taken to
the County tail and wa afterward exam
ined before Justice Humphrey under the
charge of relting a police officer and held
to await the action of the Grand Jury un
der $500 bonds, in default of which he I
now at the County jail. The other fellow,
who had a oaas on the O. P. to the front,
was given his liberty under condition that
he lea ve the ell v which he did. The offense
committed by Hannon Is punishable by
Imprisonment for two to ten year.
The Cow Ordinance. Albany' cow
ordinance provides that each family shall
allow to run at large no more than two
cows during the day, and none from 9
o'clock p. m. to 6 a. m. The manner of en
forcing this ordinance Is to arrest the owner
of the cow or cows, take him before the
Recorder and, on conviction, fine him two
to ten dollars. You can t arrest the cow.
and as the business ha to be transacted
with the owner of the bovine no one seems
to want to sit up nights and disturb him,
and as a result the ordinance is a "dead
letter ' as it was probably Intended to be.
There 1 only one law that will ever amount
to anything, and that Is the complete ex
elusion of the animal from our st.eet. If
we intend to be a progressive city we might
a well act at once. Cows have no business
in the treet of a place the size of Albany,
and wc might a well cast off our selfish
views in the .natter now. Salem has acted.
and everybody I delighted over the result.
and the law is cnforcctl so well that some
of the citizen are taking down their fences.
A Field Here. The following para.
graph i having iu round of the press and
is published with the view to pointing a
moral. What Is done In this line in New
York can, and In days to come, will be
done in the Willamette valley. We are
but just beginning to learn what can be
done here in the fruit line. Here i the ar
ticle referred to: "Within forty miles of
Rochester, N. Yn thereare more than 1, v
fruit evaporators, from the small farm
house drver, of a capacity of twenty live
bushels a day, to the large steam evapor
ators, drying 800 to loxx bushels of ap
ples each 44 hours. rhese evaporators
give employment during the autumn and
early winter tnon'hs to at least 30,000 hands,
who average from $5 to $12, a week, ac
cording to experience and usefulness."
Enough op It. The Whatcom IteivilU
man says he will send his paper free for
one year to any one in case Cleveland be
clectsd, the person to whom the paper is
sent paying $j if Harrison be elected. The
Walla Walla Union makes the same offer.
That may be politics, but it isn't business.
The paper is worth $2 a year no matter
who' elected. En. The Democrat tried
that four years ago, and some of the subs
obtained were never paid at all. vVe got
enough of that way of getting new sub
scribers.
Twenty-Eight Miles Rails have

EXCLUSIVELY
MORALITY IN THE SCHOOL.
Halsey, Sept. 39th, 1888.
The time has come when it Is absolutely
necessary for the teacher to train the heart
as well as the head . It I not enough to
teach the subject of the text-book.but It i
of the utmost Importance that a sound
morality be taught as well.
There are many gross evils permeating
our body politic, which threaten to break
forth Into a pestilence that shall carry
death and desolation before it and lay waste
the glory of our nation's honor. Simultan
eously with the voice of the teacher is heard
the voice of the American demagogue
the curse of curses by which a free gov
ernment Is cursed. A communistic element
is at work In our county ,the spirit of which
is carried out, would dissolve society, break
up citizenship, place our homes at the
mercy of vagabonds and tramps, and render
our field and gardens a trackless waste.
The great cry of the homes is "reform" in
politic, temperance, education and relig
ion. But how is this reform O be accom
plished ? It is manifestly the work of the
teacher. If he does not the worjt It will
never be done. If the vast amount of
preaching and howling about reform by
ham and quack could be stopped, and all
of our energies, time and means, that are
now expended to little or no purpose,could
be devoted to the education and training of
the children in virtue, honesty, truthful
ness and sobriety a reform such as the
world ha never known would speedily
come, if ut we can not hope lor great re
sult soon. Revolutions and reformations
are not the work of a day, but of years and
often centuries. What is done in the mat
ter of reform must be done through the
agencies of our schools, and the work will
be laborious and slow. Upon the should
ers of our 250,000 teachers rest the burden.
The role of the reformer i forced upon ns.
The youth are to be trained for society
and citizenship. The teacher has assumed
tfiat responsibility, and if he prove false to
his trusts, God and the world will not hold
him guiltless. Teachers, are we prepared
to do this work, or do we need reforming ?
May God help us, as teachers of the young,
to begin this great reformation in our own
hearts, and then carry it with such burning
enthusiasm into our schools that our pupils
wiil catch the spirit from us, and then re
form will indeed have been commenced in
earnest.
