"It la said that Vice-President Nash will Insist hereafter In all contract of road construction that the company reserve the right to pay the labor first money, say the Corvallis Times.

At a meeting of the director of the Albany Farmers' & Merchants' Insurance Company held last evening Uie following officers were elected for the ensuing year: C E WoUerton, president; J O WrlUman, vice-president; J K. Elderkln, secretary and manager; J W Cusick, treasurer. What lit TntNK. J. N. Whltelaw, the wrecker.returned to San Francisco yester day. He stated that with the present high seas he could do nothing, but in a few week would take the machinery out of the teamerand he thoueht raise the vessel and get It to running again. DisiioxesT. The Orteomia ha also taken up Marion county' last assessment. which the Democrat was first to call the attention ef the public to, and avs It was a dishonest piece of business. That I a strong word, but we believe It I correct First Year. The premium of the Al bany Farmers' and Merchant' Insurance company the first year amounted to be tween $6o,x and $70500, a remarkably fine chowing for a new company. The coming year wilt see an increase of busl ncss, the democrat predicts, ol lilty per cent. 1 he company l a salt and very re liable one. Means Business. The Iron A$e, wh i i i just at hand, in speaking of the ship building Interests along the Delaware says Col. T. Egerton Hogg, of the Oregon Pa cific, also needs two Iron steamships for the trade between San Francisco and Ya- quinabay." This chow that Col. Hogg is not dishearten by the loss of the Ya qulna Bay and proposes to increase the number of steamers to ply between those two seaports. Branded. Express agents on Georgia and Florida railroad say It Is quite com mon for fruit merchant to ship small con signments of melons with the address and ther directions branded Into the rind This novel scheme Is only used where the ruit is to go but a short distance, and to different parties in the same town. So It is In Albany. Goods sold by Conn urothers are all branued by honest weights and good quality, i.an on them lor groceries, pro duce and crockery. Wanted John Bad. Rev. Moody says he never wanted to see John quite as badly In hi life a, when a boy, some one asked him to read some verses from St. John His father's Bible having been kept in the parlor where it wouldn't be soiled he was not very familiar with it and hence dfdn't know where John was.a lady present help ing him to find the Apostle. He teli this anecdote in hi talk to Sabbath Schools, much to the amusement of those who hear it AGoodSign. You can always tell one Jiorse show by the manner in which an advance agent docs business If he shows that he is afraid of a few cents spent for an advtrtlsemcnt in the paper, look out forthe concern that follows. In nine cases out of ten it 1 on its last legs, and Isn't worth hearing: There v. ill be plenty of good troup here during the winter without taking tn cheap john shows like the one just billed for this city. Other Cannery Mkn. The fo'.low- ing from an Ashland paper makes It look as If another firm besides the Willamette Packing Co., of this city, would erect a can nery at that city ; "Messrs. D. II. Getchell and S. A. Miller, who have been In Ash land for a week or more, looking after the prospects of putting up a cannery in Ash land for next season's business, went to Portland Tuesday, but will be back again toon. A subscription tor a oonus towaros the enterprise ha been passed around which has been numerously ligned." A Sight. Every day th.t the sun rises, says an exultant contemporary, it see an addit'on of $2,500,000 to the accumulation of weatlh In the United States." The size of the accumulation Is probably correctly estimated, but if the sun manages to see il all, then the tax assessors throughout the country ought to secure the assistance of the great luminary, for they find It very hard to levy on more than a fraction of it. . And in Marion ami Multnomah coun ties must do all their assessing in the night time, when old Sol is illuminating China and Hindustan. Pitcher's Ca&torta. 'My ALBANY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11,1889.

Martin, wto ha been very successful during the past year in the fruit shipping business, Intends opening a branch house In cither Montana or Washington. Beside this he ha made arrangement with a San Fran cIsco house to carry hi trade In that city and also in their branch house at Chicago. Mr Martin will only handle the very best of fruit and It will be readily seen that this will be a big card In advertising the won derful production of our soil and cll.nate abroad. Ashland Retard. A Chanue. Mr. Dardue, recently from California, ha purchased of Mr. Aleck Cunningham the Commercial hotel prop erly, thlity -three feet front, now run by Mr. Anna Murray, paying $3750 for the tame. Mr. uardue ha also bought the Interest of his partner, Mr. Tucker, In the grocery business. We understand he will rearrange the front of hi building for a f grocery store, and use the upper part for a odglng house. Mr. Murray, we are In formed, will return to the old Exchange Hotel and again open It. litis was recent ly sold at an administrator' tale and bought by Mr. Jack Howard for 3.650. A Match Hunt.

In payment he offered a check for Si 1.7c on the Capital National bank. -ask Mr. Ryan If he coujd not give him the balance, or part ot it in money. Mr. Kvan took the paper and gave the man what spare change he had in the drawer, amounting to $io and sent the order of groceries as directed. The check proved to be a forgery. aaiem Journal. Didn't Tell It Hon. S. P. Moss,now In the county, who wa in the city recently, did not tell the following anecdote on him elf, but hi home paper doe : "Hon. S. P. Moss paid his election bet by wheeling C V. Snider In a barrow from Snider Si Lovegrove's store to the court house and return. Steve was all decked out in flam ing colers. He wore s Harrison hat orna mented with flags, a bandana on each arm draped In mourning, and a large bandana pinned to his coat tall. The rain made the j performance a little disagreeable, and the street was muddy ; but our representative did trie job In good style, nevertheless. A Rivalry. -"It Is an 111 wind that blows (to body good. The rivalry that so ong existed between Albany and Corval lis, sometimes amounting utmost to a feud, It at last producing beneficial result. So guarded It the former city In her rights and privileges that so far she has refused to give us the smallpox, although continually invited by tlv travel between th two place. Thanks, sis'er, for your present monopoly. uenton ieaaer. 1 ne ieud has been mostly on paper; but we are glad It has been raised, and sincerely hope our neighbor will not have the smallpox nor decline of any kind. Wheat A month ago the Linn coun ty farmer could have received 76 to 7S cents for his wheat. Now all he can get It 70 cent. He held on, according to cus tom. In order to get more, and he get left In the Albany and Tangent warehouses nviwil hw ihm Albany Farmer Co. nearly ioo,ooo,bushcl of wheat remain untold, tying up a large capital that ought to be In circulation. Even if wheat occasionally doe go up in the prlng the practice of af way waiting is a bad one. The farmer does the best who makes it a practice to seil In October or November, according to the record so far in O rrgon A Farms. Senator Thr following resolutions passed by a Lane Co. Grange if respected will thoroughly leave Mr Dolohoutin the cold, likewise Judge Kel- say, although It strikes pretty close to the latter : "Resolved, That we respectfully ask the Oreon legislature at its coining session to iv JrhoriaUze congress to create department of agtlculture.the commission- er to be a member of the President's cab inet. To so amend the consitution of the United States that United States Senator shall be elected by a direct vote of the peo pic. That until such amendment can be wade, that we urge the legislature to elect some reliable and practical agriculturist to represent Oregon in the United States ten ate." -:.r; , . , - A Surprise LastThursday the friend a of Mr. and Mrs. H. II. Hewitt gave them a genuine surprise party at their pleasant home on Ferry street. Meeting at the retidence of D. P.Mason they walked in on them unannounced, spending a very en joyable evening, the first part of which was passed In Mr. Hewitt's yard trying to get into h's house, while one of the party went to Mr. Hewitt's office where he and his family were busy at some legal busi ness that was rushing. "The affair ended in a very nice manner all the same. The proper way in such cases is to send some one else's wife along with her knitting In the early evening, when such embarrass ments are done away with. Getting Frightened. There It great danger of an epidemic of smallpox In Mar Ion county, says the Statesman. On French Prairie great many person have been exposed and it would take all of the Ore gon malltla to enforce a strict quarantine. Yesterday a bull-headed German by the name of Brandhoffer, who had been ex posed to smallpo, went to GervaU, near which place he make hi home, to take me train to Balem to see hi wife, who Is In the asylum. J. S. Purdom, the O. & C. agent, refused to sell the man ticket and Immediately wrote to fudtre Shaw reauest- Ing him to send word to the authorities at the asylum that the man was coming. He ha not yet put In an apperance at the asy lum aud when he does he wilt be fired off the premises with an alacrity that will make his head swim. Sarcastic At Junius Thsre Is a great spirit of rivalry all over this great north west A buaa, s kick and a jump and ome one I taring mad. Here 1 af hor nets' nest from the Astoria J'soneer, and while It Ss an exaggeration really 1 not without a little solid meat! "The Port land OregoniahS special edition published among the bullrushea on the bank of the Willamette shut out from the commerce of the world by reason of Innumerable bar, has been Issued. It Is devoted to Portland, Tacoma and Washington territory, Not one city or town tn the state of Oregon is mentioned. Astoria Is not mentioned either In connection with shipping or the salmsn Industry. The Oregomam evident ly Intended to convey the Idea that all the salmon business is done at Portland, and that Portland and Tacoma ha done all the hipping." Free Advice We advise our board of trade to be doing something. It pays to be acting If only on paper. It should be doing something aggressively towards get ting the Astoria read darted this way. Even If It should not be built for ten years, there is nothing like giving It the right Invj petus In the rljtht direction. This Is a aerl ou matter, not to be trifled wlth Some time the road wl'.l be built and Albany want It for It mean the bringing of a greatly Increased traffic this way, which otherwise will go somewhere else. Such a road would be worth hundred ot thous and dollar to Albany, directly and Indi rectly. Should It eo tliroucfi Salem to the Oregon Pacific, much tuastern Ore gon trade would be diverted from this city. Albany must get upon It ear, and now t tne time. I he board ot trade should at least appoint a committee o that we can bluster a littles and while we are at It why not act In reference to getting a branch road from the Narrow Gauge here.

TUB MOODVS. Portland, On., Jan, 4th, 1889. Editors Democrat ! The year It closed, and our religious re vival ha closed. Since Mr. Moody left a greater degree of quk-t reign. It ha been a season of Interest and murh good ha been done. From different tandpolnts this religious wake-up Is ylewed. A lady who was In attendance oOcn,remarked that there were no solid word or net of charity manifested for the destitute. The congre gation wa wealthy and Influential In gen eral, while there were many women who had not s calico dress suitable In which to appear at these meetings. This covered the question of bread. If the evangelist preached to these people to make them more attentive to actual wants of the poor, old and young, and to look after those of youth surrounded with temptations, this lady would have more respect for his work. But why criticise when the fact f on the face of the fashionable world that he who hath not a dollar hath no soul to save. Do ing of charity I pure religion. Talking about religion, filling up tabernacles for worship, and looking out for scl.to see that all the good thing are at hand, to make self fat and warm, come short of religious obligation. It I the poor and needy who should have our religion In substantial gift. If we are deceived in this th J Lord I not. The evangelist who goes Into the highways and byways to find those who, lacking In wealth and luxury ,but who need spiritual comfort, is the messenger of Him who had nowhere to lay hi head, hut who was the only perfect type of a christian. Great good will come from this work even If it wa confined to those having all that heart can wish. The conversion ef Judge William I attrlbutrd by some to these meeting, but the prevailing opinion and, no doubt true one, Is.that he was prepared for this confession by his wife, w ho has the credit of being s firm believer and active in what Is called christian science. This be a It may the conversion wa timely. For a man of over sixty year of age who had"nevcr bowed the knee to God or man," may be pardoned for auch expression ot opinion of hi countrymen in the South a he ha made, for they were the tittcrance of a heart of tone, one that had never felt the generous pulsation of a christian spirit. And in charity he I to be pitied, and may that Savior, whom he thinks ne has found, show him the folly, not to say shame, that ha marked his bearing towards those who are not willing to be governed by a race Ith rare exceptions, whose prejudice, Ignorance and superstition would make them demon had they power over white people. The Judge himself were he located amon them would not tolerate this view about which he delights to harangue, the people to show hi party fcality, for one moment If hi eyes and heart are open may his friends keep the devil from clos ing them, a thing which we fear the Judge I too weak to do himself, as hit future po litical crusades may prove. There are others of hearts of stor.e ot the same party needing conversion, prominent In party meanness, in vlndlcUveness.and in social uncheritablcnes. Can the Lord reach them ? There l another Moody who Is creating as much dry talk tn the political arena as the evangelist has caused in his circle. He wants to convert Dolph and take hhn out of politics. But Dolph I obdurate. The excitement i low but ris- ing.and If Dolph' friend arc not generals the battle will favor hi rival, who I en trenched in more individual pit than 1 generally supposed. Being party within party the conflict will be more intense and less respectful than if with a common ene my. It will be bitter in the mouths of those who have no sweet morsels for a rival party brother. And the Dolph men will bestow In showing the majority which they have for the reason that their favorite should not have a walk over lest he would forget the artisans that made him Senator. This as surance may rest too long and the anti- Dolph gopher liltls showing the mischiev ous disposition of the anlmat may come up in the night with astonishing rapidity to make the battle formidable. Herman is said to have tome strength, but the idea of being a candidate seem a joke, a naked one at that III friend will upport Dolph if the chief I consulted. There I enough In thi to give Dolph and friends great con cern. It is an open secret that Moody is not in accord with the brains of the circus, He ha always shown a bawky disposition, and thU is what prevented him from run- nine for Governor a second time, and it may prevent him from being Senator, whether Dolph is elected or not. And here Is where republicans show superiority over democrats by having a strong head and a solid organization, while democrats hve no head or organized body for effec tlve work. Hence their blunder, lfthey succeed it is a blunder. But for patience under difficulties no christian can surpass them, in fact their own chrlti:uvforitude has been the leading wonder or tneir ad vcrarlcs for ' year. - The candidate to be feared, and an unfortunate one for the na tion If successful. Is ludtrc William Ua may if the other faction destroy them sje've, be the hore,and heaven knows the color of it is dark enough. May this calam itv never befall the state. There are two candidates more deserving than any we have mentioned, one of whom resides in Benton county and the other in Jackson, but there Is no pigeon maux for them though they have earned it, Mr. George it not without hope, though the accident may come nearer to him than indications now favor. Time will soon settle matters. Mr. Simon will be President of the Senate, and thl does not signify but Portlander will be Speaker. If it is not too much of a load to carry, with a Portland U.
