If the road is to be completed by Jujy l, it Is time wot k was commenced. Subscribers begin to want to see something for money. If it Is not going to be built this vear they say they want to know it. The t'umctr has been informed that nothing can be done until the right of way is secured, as some of Clatsop county's enterprising citizens object to giving a right of way where the company wants It. If the road can't be built this year there Is no use to pay salar ied officer the whole amount that has been subscribed. The salaries will soon use up the $75,ooan Scholars Takb Not tea, We submit to the students and scholars who read the Democrat the following composition, which shows the great Importance of a proper knowledge of punctuation. This may describe a very good man or a very bad man. Punctuate it t "He Is an old man and experienced in vice and wicked ness he Is never found in opposing the i works of iniquity he takes delight In the downfall of his neighbor he never rejoices In the prosperity of his fellow-creatures he Is always ready to assist In destroying the peace of society he takes no pleasure In serving the Lprd he Is uncommonly dili gent ia sowing discord among his friends and acquaintances he Ukea no pride in laboring to promote the cause of Christ ianity he has not been negligent In endear oring to stigmatize all public teacher he make no effort to subdue his passions he strives hard to build up Satan's kingdom he lend no aid to the support of the gospel among the heathens he contributes largely to the devil he will never go to heaven go where he must receive the just recompense of reward." A Rsxamox. A very enjoyable affair wis the reception tendered Rev. Roger, the new Congregational minister, at the church, Wednesday. Beside a large num ber of church members,there were present friends from outside and Revs. Trumbull, Webb, Prichard, Condit, Burchet and Ir vine. After a season of social conversation there was singing by an Impromptu choir. Rev. S. G. Irvine then on behalf of the church, citizen and city pastors, delivered a very hearty address of welcome, happily responded to by Rev. Rogers.who already ' ' felt at home among our people. Prof. Lee was heard in a finely executed organ solo i v and Mrs. Cochrane in a vocal solo. She Is , one of our pleasantest singers and fills a lUtener heart with melody. Some choir singlng.a very palatable epread,games,etc, i filled the remainder of the evening. I . A Ignoramus. Frank Leslie's maga- zine for January has a very romantic tory I in which one of the scenes Is placed at the I mouth of the Columbia river. The hero runs away from hi home because his girl has decided to marry a richer fellow, tak ing a vessel from Liverpool for Portland, Oregon. In about thirty day, about a fourth of the usual time, his ship "strug gled in the wild sea off the Columbia." He was wrecked. In the course of which he found a $co,ooo piece of ambergris, w halever that 1. afterwards crossing the yawning portal of the river. Packing his ambergris In some barrels that were wsiting for him, he hailed a steamer just passing out, goes to New York, makes up with hi girl and has a fly time. The author who wrote the story know a m uch about the mouth of the Columbia a a two months old baby about the North star. Her name I Patience Stapleton. Business Changes Crossen & PaUIer that sounds well. It U the name of a fur niture firm here just established between D. L. Crossen and Mr. Paisley, who have bought out J. C. Dillon' retail basinets. They will move into the Brush property, formerly occupied by Wm. Fortmiller.and being live, energetic, reliable business men, will no doubt, ilo a large business.... Messrs, J. G. Cherry, Jos. Watson and Gus. Cos tel hare formed a partnership in the foundry business and will occupy the J. G. Cherry foundry. They propose to do a business in kreping with our growing country, and being first-class workmen, will, do deubt, succeed. Can Gar One. If the Oregon Pacific R. R. people really want a seaport for their trans-continental line they can get one, not on paper, but In rea'.ity. The Astorian ha I I V....I T. fact speak loud enough. Astoria fa the point to which they should look, and to ward which they should build. Their mis take was a costly one. They can, even now, rectify Xr Astoria. I Our. Harbors. The Astoria paper have felt very badly because we said there had been tworwrecks at the mouth of the Columbia, and one of them gets down Into a coal mine and say we are a liar. The "Republic" wa certainly wrecked there, and tilt "Queen of the Pacific," near en . t . . .:. oust) to cause an awiui scare, neither on accou. of the bar, though i but on ac count ff sand spits. Now we think the Cplurt.bla Is the best harbor In Oregon, It woulJbe foolish te deny this, and wc want a road airtcuy to it, and win be giad to work with Astoria paper to that end, hence will tot call them names for fabricating about Yaquina Bay, which we also want to help build Into a good harbor, When we mentioned the wrecks at the mouth of tbj Columbia It was simply retaliating for their everlastingly throwing cold water on Yaquina Bay. It thev are certain It can't be a big harbor what is the use of attacking it repeatedly. TiioaE Cilkstials. Yesterday morn ing In taking a walk for hi health a Dem ocrat man happened near the Oregon Pacific depot just as the afflicted San Fran cisco Celestials were eating their morning repast. It was not a very wholesome sight, squatted In little knot along the side of the track they were taking their turns at potatoes and rice served red hot from the kettle. These articles had been raised the day previous by a subscription from our citizens collected by Chinamen. Many of the Celestial were barefooted, so far as stockings were concerned, and they had s'epton scarce blanket under the depot almost In the open air, and Old not seem to mind It much, such is the remarkably fine winter weather we have been enjoying We Imagined them eating beside a rail road track In the east and the mete though made us shiver. Paid Up. Manager Wm. M. Heag and G. F. & P. agent C C Hogue, of the Ore gon Pacific, were tn the city Monday and made arrangement for the paying off of all their hand and those of Scat te & Dean, through the First National Bank. Not withstanding Insurmountable obstacles, kicks from some of the pres,and an unsp- preclatlve publlc,o far a some of it is con cerned, Mr. Hoagand hi associates have kept right atong towards Boise City, their hands are paid off and their conscience clear. Albany more than any other place should appreciate what the manager of this road have done for the city and country. The Democrat move a unanimous vote of thanks. A Possibility, Among the possibili ties, if not probabilities, in Albany, is a large brick hotel at the southwest corner of Lyon and Second streets. An eastern gentleman, representing a large company, has just been in the city, Investigating the matter, and was very favorably impressed with this city a a location for such a structure, which, if built will be as large, if not larger, than the Chemekete at Sal em. We mention the fact in order to show that this cliy Is attracting attention from outside capital, and to inform our buslne men that just at this moment Is a good time to display enterprise generally in the ma'.terof building up the city. The potsl blllties are unbounded. Let us have some action. Chance or School Books. The vote on the change of school books resulted In nrarly all of the eld ones being retained. The change made are In the readers, the "New National Series" being used in place of the Independent Series. Fish's Arith metic in place of Brools. Reblnson's al gebra and geometry and trigonometry In placsot Brook. Bryant and Stratum's common school book keeping instead of Lyte's. Exchange rate : Readers, free ; arithmetics, 15 and 30 cent ; algebra and geometries,6o and 90 cents ; book-keeping, jo cent. Thet Left. The m San Francisco Celestials were taken from Albany Monday morning lor their home at the Ooiden Gate. '-Jim Wcstfall," who brought them here, la very grateful to our citizens for the kind service they rendered in getting them home and feeding them while here. "Jim" U a prettv good kind of a Celestial, 'but if anyone think he Is bankrupt they are grandly mistaken. We d like a little of hi kind of bankruptcy ourselves. In all probability he 1 worth at least $10,000. A Law Suit. Lately Dr. Negis, of Genesee, New York, arrived In the city. Wednesday a car for which he pald$22oto carry his household goods and a span of horses to this city arrived. The agent here under instructions from his superior refute to turn over the horse until a charge of $140 Is paid. The doctor claim that he paid for the car to Albany, while the railroad claim he paid for the car only to Portland and charge mm suo lrom Portland here. The doctor brought suit this afternoon to recover his property. We understand he values his horse at $2200. A Whopper "A curious illustration of how far dust is carried 1 afforded by the fact that when the east wind blow con tinuously, as it has nearly ever since Christmas, appreciable quantities of fine alkali dust from Eastern Oregon blow down the Columbia and out to sea. On the lenses of the lighthouse at Fort Canby it gathers and settle and Mas to be wiped off. Asloruin . A liASO. in order to snow just now a matter can be mixed up and changed from a potato into a red pepper we publish the following from the Silverton Afeal: The O P contractors have been attached for all thev are worth, and their han is are left without pay, at the front of the O P R R near Mehama. The O P R R seems to have a deal of trouble with its contractors. There appears to be something rotten about the OP, A Fact.

It doesn't take spasmodic boom to make a city a good one to reside in. Still Holds the Fort. Col.

A gentleman of this city complain that small boy with uncertain avocation In life are in the habit of picking up mall things, such as old hatchets, axes or any other second hand articles and selling them for a few cents to buy cigarettes with. He says there are a number of boy wno steal various articles in this way and sell them to second hand dealer.

A large col ored cut of Portland Issued by Staver & Walker has caught the eye of the Demo crat this week. " It display the enter prise of that live firm.

Pursuant to a call there was a large gathering of prominent citizens at the store of Stewart & 8ox last Monday to consider the very Important matter of building a railroad between Astoria and Albany. It was one of the inot enthusiastic meetings ever held In Albany, and hid the spirit of business in It from the start. S E Yeung was elected Chairman and F P Nutting, Secretary. Enthusiastic re. marks were made on the ubjcctby Mayor Cowan, Major Cassell, A Hackleman, Geo F Simpson, Julius Gradwohl, C E Wol vcrton, II H Hewitt, P Cohen, E F Sox, C II Stewart and Dr Hill, - A letter was read from the Independence Board of Trade In which a conference was requested and a de sire expressed to act togethei In securing the road. Also a letter from the Astoria Board of Trado. On motion of Mavor Cowan a commit tee ot five wa appointed to prepare articles ot Incorporation for a company to build a railroad from Albany to Astoria. Hon G ts Chamberlain, IJlstrlct Attorney 111111, CEWolverton, it Bryant and Hon J K weatherford were appointed such. com mittee. ' Mr, Stewart moved that the committee he Instructed to name a terminal point Albany and Astoria, and the . motion wa adopted. It may be said that our citizens mean business in the matter. Albany is the most convenient and the nearest junction with the Oreiron Pacific. A road to this city does away with two large bridges, and pase through a comparatively populous, rich farming country, maklnc it the proper lino for such a road. Capital will be Inter) estcd in the matter, and the road Is sure to be built. We predict that Inside of four years car will be running from Astoria to Albany. HOW SALEM TOOK IT. The action of our citizen last Monday stirred up Salem some, and they propose to act. The Stutnimm av t "It wilt be seen bv reading the dispatches this morning that the people of Albany nave at last awakened to the situation and that thev will endeavor to stem the tide of fate which seems determined to bring the Astoria railroad over Its natural avenue. through Salem to a connect'on with the O. P.B We haven't seen the tide yet that wa taking the road from Albany, and a for natural avenue the one to this city past Dallas and Independence Is the most nat ural one we know about, being twenty or thirty mile nearer a connection with the Oregon Pacific than by Salem, according to our maps, beside saving two large bridges. So much for natural advantages. The Statesman also remark : "There is no time to lose In perfecting an orgnljtailon, Holding a conference meet ing with the Astoria people and setting the ball rolling In practical shape. A company can be organized here and the requisite stock subscriptions obtatned In thirty day to enable the commencement of active operations." It this Is to be a race to the sea, Albany must show its color alacritously. Backed by a magnificent country, with the natural advantages In our favor we are bound to succeed.

Our neighbors over the line are being agitated by a petition and a remonstrance for a saloon at Coburg. The papers have almost an equal number of signature, and each side Is using Its utmost strength. To an outsider It seems that one year's ex perience with a saloon would have been enough without attempting second. Your correspondent has heard several inquiries for fine cattle, sheep and hogs lately and wonders why owners ot such stock do not advertise in the Democrat.
