LOCAL RECORD.
A Naw Citizesj. The followli.jr from
the Capital Journal, of Salem , would Indi
cate that one of Albany's new cltUenn Is
quite a model kind ol a man, and we wel
come him to our mlJt: "C V Scars, an
old and reliable citizen of Salem, started
last evening for Albany, where he has pur
chased an Interest In the Albany Sash and
Door Factory. lils family will shortly
follow. Mr. Sears has been a resident of
Salem for twelve years past, and no man
stands higher as a man of worth and social
culture. Hit workmanship on the state
senate chamber, the M h church, Capital
engine room and other werk over the city
are evidences of his ability as a mechanic
and will be mementos of his citizenship
for rears to come. Ills position In the M
C choir can hardly be replaces), as he has
musical talents equal to the best cultured,
He served six yearn with ?4r. Slaplcton
and has accumulated some little nronertv.
Wc are sorry to let him go, but the Jenriial
congratulates Albany on its success."
Via Albany One of the projects of
the Union Tactile is to build a railroad
from Ogdsn up Into Oregon. Take a map,
put your finger on Ogden and run a line
up Into tSIs state. You can't help making
It go through the McKcnxIc pass, and
thence to Coburg. Here the company
will buy the Narrow Gauge bed and run
directly into Albany, when It will gobble
up the Albany and Astoria railroad at a
round sum and end at Astoria, where the
ships of the world can find a harbor. This
looks fine on paper; but It It diiVtcuIt to
figure out anything tle. Thus another
transcontinental line is to be built. The
Democrat Is entitled to the secretary of
the board of trade for this electric Idea, a
remarkably good one, and one we predict
candidly will some day be carried out.
This city Is destined to be the great railroad
center of the Northwest. It U already In
the lead In that respect.
A Creamery. Mr, Mahanna.represent.
ing Davis & Rankin, of Chicago, has been
In Corvallis trying to secure an Invest
ment of $7500 far a large cieamery and
cold storage. $i5oo was raised and the
matter collapsed. Some people there threw
cold water on it. Afraid. They have
their 7500 anyway. Albany wants a
creamery. Docs it want to put $7500 In
It A big turn but perhaps not too large,!
the whole plant and a man for a year goes
ith It Other pieces hsve Invented. It
brings cream to the top and increases cows.
etc. Mr. Mahanna arrived In this city Fri
day, and will give our citizens a show on
the subject. A !alem paper says It wants
such a creamery. Why not Albany ? It
Is simply an investment and not a bonus.
The cold storage alon 3 would He a fine
thing for the city.
Gkttimg Court rots. Here Is the way
the Baker City Dlad talk about the best
paper in Eastern Oregon : "The swill bar
rcl that does editorial duty on the Eat
Oregomian, when he is not lying In the gut
ter with animal of his Ilk, wrote an article
In Monday's Issue of that paper that shows
exsctly the tfxe of hi brain." Courtesy
that fro.n way back, equal almost to the
following exaibi'ion ot brotherly love in
Portland: "Yesterday M M Harnett, edi
tor of the Siflimgt, caused the arrest of
William Moorehead, late business manager
of the defunct Xrti-t, on a charge of as
sault wiin intent to kill. I hi morning 1
Mr Moorehead turned the table on Har
nett by swearing to two complaints against
him, one lor assault and battery, and
another for threatening to murder."
A Social Society Last Thursday at
the GAR hall a society was organised
under the name of the Silver Star Amus
ment Club, It object I to have a good
time, by listening to literary and musical
program and in game and sociability.
A constitution was adopted and signed by
aoout forty. The expenses are to be paid
bv a monthly assessment on the gentle
men. Meeting will be held every Thurs
day evening at the GAR hall. A thort
program will generally be rendered, iol
lowed bv more active kinds of amuse
ment. Following are the officer of the
ocietv: W CCassell. president; Mrs Th as
Hopkins and Mr D I Mason, vice presi
dent; Mr George Keeney, secretary; Air
u w raisley, treasurer.
AS t. O. Towst.-A L nlon paper ay
the following of a rival city: "La Grande
Is known everywhere to be the 'poorest
town in Eastern Oregon according to pop.
ulation,' and an examination of the tax rolls
will prove thi to be a fact. A prominent
man, of Island City, speaking of thi mat
ter, a few day ago. said that he had money
to wager that one firm In Island CUy paid
more taxes and received more frieght over
the railroad than all the men In La Grande
combined.
The Bar. The bar at Yaquini Bay Is
one of the best and least dangerous on the
Pacific coast. There I an average of fif
teen feet of water at low tide, giving from
3 ( to 34 feet at high water. Over the bar
the channel is straight, free of rock and
the bar itself is only about 500 feet across.
Inside of the harbor, which is perfectly
land-locked, with high bluff on both sides,
there is fine anchorage for a thousand ves
sel or more. Republican.
Still Racing. At lea-one paper in
the State ha not failed to keep its reader
posted or unpostedabout the small pox. It
hall from the rival city Astoria, and in it
Wednesday's edition says : "Notwithstand
ing the Oreffonian' reports to the contrary,
the small pox is si ill raging in Portland and
East Po'tiand. The latest case brought
to light are those of a family living le
than a dozen block from the East 'side
landing of the Stark street ferry. One of
the persons afflicted is notexpected to live,
and two other are In a dangerous condi
tion." Wonder if that l true.
A Great Future. The Santlam min
Ing case, we are informed, will be appealed,
Dr. Smith stating that he will take It to the
highest courts. The doctor hs great con
fidence in the future of the mines and this
one In particular.and propose to continue
to develope it. He is backed by consider
able money and I either going to bring
gold out from the Santiam or lose some.In
thi respect we hope h? will come out of
the big end of the hern.
R, R, Commissioners. Removed,
Last weekJOov. Pennoyer sent to each of
the railroad commissioners the following
letter of removal: '.'Sir: Yon hereby
removed from the office of railroad com
mUsioner of Oregon for cause. Said re
moval takes effect at thi date. Yours re
spectfully, 8ylveter Pennoyer, Gover-
cr of Oregon.
In the Distance. The Union Pacific
is making arrangement to build a railroad
up Into Oregon, probably to cross the Cas
cades at the McKenzie pass, uniting, we
' pred'et, with the valley road at Albany.
Funny Incident. A very funny Inci
dent happened in sleeping car on the Al
bany and Astoria or some other railroad.
It wa In the morning, when the passenger
hsdirutoutof their berths were drawn
tightly In front of still sleeping persons
Suddenly a foot wa thrust out between
two curtains. It wa imall, while, tymet
rlcal not more than a feminine No. 3
and the merest bit of ankle In tight looked
toft and fine, The men glanced at It from
the corner of their wicked eye. The wo
men deprecated the exposure. Then a
bold, braxen fellow went straight to the
pretty foot, grabbed the ankle, and flung
the whole member rudely In the berth,
"ile wouldn't treat hi bride so," said a
woman close by. "It must be hi sister."
Then the head of a ten-year-old urchin
emeiged where the foot had been, and a
sleepy, angry, boyish voice said : "Look
here, Sam, let me alone. Next time you
catch a-hold of my foot that way I'll kick
tne gtxxard out ol you,"
There was a sub-
stdence ol sentimental
Interest and a rlsl
blllty of mirth.
Mi'st Meet Them. Mr. D. F. Ahby,
of the Oregon Land Company returned
from Portland Saturday, where he ha been
about a week lie Induced thirty-two im
migrant to come and sec Albany and the
surrounding country. Mr. Ashhy Informs
u that the hotels there are full of Seattle
and Tacoma real estate men, who use
every mean to Induce Immigrant to go
to those title. They lie like trooper about
the Valley, declaring that It I under water,
that people here travel from place to place
In boats, etc. What Albany real estate men
need Is a man there all the time heading
people thi way. Why wouldn't It pav
them to pool togetherand do 4l, if it pay
each firm on the Sound to kee? man
there. This I a better country than that
and we must get In and rustle a much a
Sound people do.
Quite Tata. Peter the poet say:
Oregon'day of buying eastern produce
seems to be a long one. Why should
farmer In the richest valleys In the unl
verse feel compelled to knock at the door
of poorer valley far away for pork, lard,
bean and other groceries? We lay In
Chicago pork and Boston bean. And
that nothing may be wanting to complete
the fesst, we must have Iowa vinegar and
Nebraska pickles!" Likewise the fallow
ing, about government land generally In
Oregon: "Uutte creek, to the south and
fast of Keno, In Siskiyou countv, I fast
settling up at different points. Whoever
wishes to catch a government claim there
would better rustle. In a short time the
catches will be about petered out The
horn seeker will catch nothing but ducks,
a bad cold, or summer freckles, lie will
find the U. S. lots all taken, the creeks
fenced In and Pilgrims' dog barking
tnrougn the rail at him. Hurry up.
Notwithstanding Portland. "That
costive old crank of the Ortqotuan 1 evi
dently worked up raw over the Idea that
Astoria I to have a railroad, despite hi ef
fort ant' the effort of the narrrow mind
ed business men of that Inland seaport (?).
He never loec an opportunity to give As
toria a stab. Never mind, Harvey, old boy,

Linn, Lane, i oik, 1 amhill and Washing
ton counties, and bring their grsln right
here to ship to all parts ol the world.

Brannon was arretted at IlarrUburg,
charged with shooting Frauk A Avery on
the cars, taken to Salem and prevented

wa not the man. In consultation togeth
er they concluded that it must have been a
man with a light mustasche standing on
the platform at the time, and who by thi
timet lost in ban l-rancisco.
Italians. It looked like a run on a
bank Thursday in the vicinity of theFlinn
block, but it wa only Italian laborer get
ting their checks cashed, and as the
amounts ranged only up to about thirty
dollars, no serious results followed. These
Italians are contracted, hungry looking
fellows, not very much of an advertise
ment for Italy's sunny clime. Like the
Celestial they keep considerable of their
money, and can live n cheaply.
Patronage. The state legislature pays
out each session about $11,000 for clerk
hire for work that as a business transac
tion could be obtained for lest than $1000.
It is done merely for patronage. The
clerk of some of the committees hardly
make a scratch of the pen and use only a
little gum stlckum, and a poor woman or
young man stand no show of getting the
clerkship at that.
A Fine Horse. Mr. C E Barrows, of

Salem, Jan. 161b, 1889.
The commltteei In the House will not
be announced until Monday next. This In
dlcate an early adjournment thi weeks
At 11 o'clock, a.m., to-day the Senate filed
Into the House to hear the Governor's
message, There were not at many of the
people In attendance a I usual on such
occasions. But what were there are a cred
it to the county in appearance and demean
or, When the Governor arose to deliver
hi address w were struck at the eviden
ce of our high civilisation that surround
ed him and contracted it in our mind with
the report ot (he recent reception and In
auguration of President Legitime of 11 ay 1 1
Jan. and, thi year, as given by an eye
witness as follows i "He wa accompan
ied by the entire army of some 1 3,000,
dressed In clothe the color ot the rainbow
who, between dancing and tinging, all the
way up to the church punctuated their ex
prseslont of loyalty b shout of "Vive
Legitime." Arriving at the Cathedral,
where the corpt diplomatique had already
assembled, the President was escorted to
the titer. The Cathedral wa thronged
with the elite ot Port au Prince. They
are tlmply Indescribable. Imagine, If you
can, about 30,000 negroes, drccd In the
latest style, a full-dress black broadcloth
coat that had done service for year and
had been handed down at a family relic,
no shirt, a white cravat, strapped rather
negligent around the throat, a pair of blue
trousers, coming half-way down the leg,
and no shoe. I will not attempt to de
scribe the wearing apparel of the ladle,
but will merely ay that each was neatly
attired in a fan, a pair of carpet slippers
and a broad grin. The latter was the most
conspicuous article ot the clothing."
The Railroad Commission received their
"resignation" a rov Irish friend would
sty In the form of dismissal from office for
cause which Is given In full In the message.
The substance I this. "There Is no pro
vision of the conMhutlon by which any
power or function ot the State government
can be delegated to a Commission. Thi
Commission was entrusted with regulation
of freights, thi I a function ot the Legis
lature ( it It I entrusted with power toad
just question In dispute between common
carriers and person having dealing with
them or others parties, this Is a function
ot the Judicial department, etc. The Gov
ernor recommend a just maximum rate
freight law intead of the contrivance ot
thi R. R. Commission. The Fish Com
missioner would go out in the same way
were It not that they are creatures of the
Leglslsture. He would prevent fish trap
and fish wheel. Thi Commission was au
thorised ts look after the law for the prop
agation, protection, and preervatlon of
fishes, etc. Since the Clackamas hatchery
has passed under the control of the federal
government there l no further need of thi
Commission, he sav. and the State may
at well provide seed wheat for farmers as
hatcheries for fish monopolies, lie rec
ommends thst the Stale University and
Agricultural Col cee become suit-support
tnir as a tax for a tew I not tezWitiaie tW
educational matters, it should be only far
all a In the matter of common schools. The
Governor asks for river Improvement at
The Dalles and a law on assetMnenUand
taxation. It seems that certain fund be-
loneln to the State University at Eugene
have been diverted for tho supjwt of a law
school at Portland, t or which there is no
authority of law whatever, and of this out
raae the Governor savs. "and It can well
be doubted as to whether pupils can gain a
proper respect for the law, who receive
their law education In a school supported
by funds diverted without authority of
law." Doe the Governor mean stealing ?
ie want the Agricultural College toget
Sioooa worth ot Isnd and eo to work, lie
says the scandal of our country Is the fact
tnat corporate power dominates wc r tii
Senate,and therefore the Legislature should
take extreme care In the election ot a sen
ator. Bv this outline it will be seen that
work will begin to save those thing the
Governor ha wrecked for a eaon ; but
we predict that those Commissions are gone
to lay. While there are something in tne
measaee that require consideration dciuic
accectinT the recommendations, there I
one thine and that I it 1 a document of
clear and wonderful direction.

There are many opinions about the mes
sage, out of which there comes one that Is
unanimous tn declaring that the personal
ity of it cannot be questioned, it is calcu
lated to attract attention and produce much
comment The Railroad Commissioner
are not content with their Irih "redgna-
tlon" for they say there is no cause for re
movat, and the mere saying so without
stating the caute it not sufficient. So the
Commissioners have written a letter to the
Governor we learn no doubt, in the
same Irish reinstating that It the Govern
or cannot take It back, they will. So no w
we will see how It comes out. If the
Commission go to the Court it may be
sustained, and would if the bill Cuuld be
amended first so a to mtet the objection
of the Governor on the point ot "delegated
power." If left to the Legislature the
Homnr.iaslan will not be sustained in our
opinion a everal have expressed them
selves favorable to thi message who. are
relied upon to sustain the Commission
The Commission take the ground that It
cannot be removed, a there Is no cause,
but on the contrary they claim an approval
of their work by the Governor, Tho Flh
Cotnmiuioner do not feel altogether (afe.
though the legislature may not disturb
them. Nothing lmposiblc however now,
and some fine morning they may not have
Ah or n commission under which to
hunt one.
The idea of supporting a la w teacher,
having a law school In Portland, out of
Unlvertlty funds, proper gets away with
many a smile. It Is ld the law school 1
tied onto the University only In name, for
the purpsse mentioned. The satire of the
Governor on thi transaction is most with
ering, but he should .have, said, t alo, "it
can well be doubted as to whether teacher
can gain a proper respect foythe law who
receives hi pay from funds diverted witn
out authority of law." He tayt this of the
pupils. .
The freight rate law instead ot Kanroaa
CommUslon I another matter. It l
doubtful whether such a law would be ad-
vltable. The pretent freight rate estab
it.Vird bv our common carriers does not
teem to be far out of the, way. And they
are Inclined to favor thlppert as fast as the
traffic will admit. Legislation on t,hl point
would be an obstacle rather than a benefit
to commerce. Experience favors this view,
There are many bills from their titles
""at seem to be what are needed, but until
Children Cry for
they are printed their merit cannot be de
termined.
It seem that the usual number of clerk
are on hand and no doubt will be employ,
ed. Men and ladle a heretofore. If need
ed we cannot see why ladle should not
have an equal chance at least for position
and salary, and he subject to no greater
hindrance or uncalled for remarks than
men. Senator Irvine Introduced a r:olu
tion to employ only ucn cierkt a were
actually needed naming them. This was
lost, but Mr, Walt was more successful, his
resolution empowering all Handing com
mlttee to have clerical aid wa adopted.
Senator Dawson's bill for the erection ot
a school building for deaf mutes will no
doubt become slaw. Hi bill to prohibit
the sale of tobacco to minor under 18
year of age, and fixing the fine from $30
to S50, should become a law. It would be
better if it included "mlnor"underOoyeart
ior mere 11 something nesrine veraancy
of youth In anyone who will allow the
"weed" to get the best of him no matter
how old he I. There I a resolution to in
... ., .
crease the salaries of members to fs per
day. This cannot be done by a resolution.
Must be a law. It I not too much to pay
member $(, per day.
Senator IJolph will be re-elected next
week despite the wholesome advice the
Governor gave the Legislature in reference
to It. The democratic tide will vote for A.
Bdsh or Gov. I'ennover for Senator.

I have a boy attending school who 1
now seventeen vcaraold. He studie or
thography, reading, arithmetic, writing,
grammar, physiology, geography, United
State hUtorv andpensmanahlp, In all of
which re I considerably advanced. Now
I want to know how much It I going to
cost me to g?t the new books, which have
been adopted to take the place of the old
one, of which my boy Is now supplied
with one in each branch. Our people here
want tu know something about the change
and what It will cost them. A great deal I
aid but no one seems to understand the
matter, k
Parent.
The above quest'on I a legitimate one
and Its proper-answer should be understood
by every parent In the state. In orthog
raphy there will be no cod a there I no
change. In reading there ha been a
change In all the readers, but there will be
no cost a the publisher of the reader
have agreed to exchange free. II your boy
hat a third reader of the kind now In use,
whether It be new or much worn, a new
third reader of the recently adopted- kind
will be exchanged for it free. Or a fourth
for a fourth, or fifth for Gfth,and soon. In
arithmetic two book In Brook have been
?Z:sL
melict wiU cost you 15 cents. If he use
No. j It will cost you jocenu. In pen
manship there I no change. In grammar
there I no change. In phylology there
l no change. In United State history
there U no change. It is due to candor to
say that In arithmetic a new primary work
called Piper's Sest Work ha been added
Lr the accommodation of such scluxjl as
desire a primary work suited to very young
children. In grammar, a we before said,
there ha been no change from Silt's, but a
new work called 'Short Studie in English'
ha been added. It I douKfui whether
one district In a hundred will use this book,
as most teachers regard Sill's a sufficiently
primary for beginners. In geography no
change ha been made, but a new book on
Physical Geography hat been added called
Guy of Physical Geography for use In high
and advanced tchool. In history Barnes
primary history ha;, been added for begin
ners. It I not probable that this will come
into general use.as most teachers will con
tent themselves to use Barnes' Brief Hit
torv, the one now In use.-' So "Parent" will
tee that In the case of hi boy the greatest
cost he will be subjected to 1 30 cent. If
teachers do not use the "added" text books
the expense ot the change will be trifling,

EJitort Democrat i
The Drrsoni sayt the people need have
no fears a thi LeeWlature I to be one of
economy. This statement is not justified
by the course of the Senate in creating the
office of snd assistant cleik of that body.
No uch clerk ha ever been had before.nor
is there an v more neediorit now than
during the last twenty year. It Is a mere
sinecure. It Is currently reported here
that Senator Vatts refused to vote for Si
mon for President of the Senate unlc hi
son, who now holds this new position, ws
nrovlded for. The old man Watt feel
that at last he is in a rich harvest field.and
he propose that he and his friends ehall
feast while abundance last.
Economy.
The county court of Lane countyhaa sold it
poor farm. Reason: They have kept county
paupers for a number of years and now find
that it costt the county much more than In
ih old contract wav- Thisoucht to open the
eyes of Linn county people who have thought
a poor farm would be the cheapest way or
providing for the poor. It is not the best nor
the cheapest way as the Democrat lias all
along maintained. ,
A few ilaya ago we ttated that S, A. Dawso"
. .
senator, had not been made chairman 01 any
committee in the senate, but we were misled.
He met with the best ol treatmant from Presi
dent of the senate Jo Simon. Tie is chairman
of the committee on engrossed bills, a mrmbrr
of the ways and means, and roads and high
way! committees. : ..,
An Indianapolis minister boasts that he pray
ed for and predicted the tuccesi of Gen. Harri
son. Doubtless John Wanamaker can make the
same boast, but he backed up his prayers and
prediction by passing around the hat. Mr,
Wanamaker did not allow his faith to blind his
weather eye. ,
The Roseburg Review tells the .following
double-and-twisted truth: "The Senate major
ity rejects every proposition to reduce taxes on
necessaries, and votes solidly every time in the
interest of the monopolies."
