Statesman. W e used our own words Mr
States. We are not worrying. We have
our bends full keeping up with Albany's
activity. So far as we ate concerned we
desire "to see all of the cities of the valley
boom ahead reliably, but not too fa-t.

Two Dagoes. Several dagoes have
been making their home in the Oregon
Pacific warehouse at the foot of Ellsworth
street. Saturday evening two of them,
John Capalio Doe and Richard Arlo Roe
got into a little trouble which came nrar re
sulting tragically. Oae of them was doing
hi weekly washing preparatory for the
next day's rest, when the other jocosely or
otherwise Interferred. It resulted 'a Doe
throwing an axe at Roe, just missing him,
and following it up with a rock, which
took effect on Roe's head, knocking him
senseless for a few moments. He then left
without more ado. This, was about 11
o'clock Marshal Hoffman and Police
man Jones fallowed him, resulting In the
dago being captured in Hackleman's thl d
ad Jitlon to the city, or near there. He was
brought back and taken as far as the call
boose gate, when he suddenly slipped away
and tore desperately and madly on Into
the darkness, and succeeded in escaping,
bjt not until the Marshal had sent three
lead messengers after him.
A Peculiar Accident. Joe Avery,
who is very il'.,had a rery peculiar accident
happen to him last Sur.day, which seemed
for awhile would terminate fatally. The
doctor placed a thermometer in Joe's mouth
to take hi temperature, and the little fel
low, unconscious of what he was doing,
closed his teeth on the thermometer break.
Ing It. Before he could be prevented he
had swallowed the mercury. We learn
just as we go to press that he ha some
what recovered from the ettects of the
mercury, and some hopes are entertained
of his recovery. Benton Leader.
Not Advertised. A Minnesota man
say when he get home he is gc'.ng to
give Oregon more free advertising than
the State ha received 'all together from
other source. He remark that there peo
ple absolutely know nothing about what a
grand country thl I. It Is not advertised
at all to amount to anything, and that is
the reason Washington Territory is forging
ahead so fast.
Rather Peculiar. J P Wager, edi
tor of the E. of Pendleton, is also a
state senator. One of his pet measure 1
a homestead law, which he ha worked
hard to get through. In Saturday's E. O.
, the chap he left behind to manipulate hi
scissors and pen comes out openly and
forcibly and opposes the law. We predict
- that when the senator gets home there will
be a print shop row.
The Reasov. Did you eyer notice that
F M French' and all other watch signs
now read 8:18 o'clock. That is a fact, and
the reason is that that is the exact time
Lincoln was assassinated. A jeweler the
next morning had hi sign painted that way
and the custom in the U. S. has since been
universal. We are indebted to Mr.French
for this fact, one little known.
Dirt. Tuesday B. Hard man sold his
residence and 8 seres, southeast of the city
toJas.V. Pipe for $2500. Mr. John Mil
lard has placed on the market, F A Burk
hart, agent, thirty acres on the fair ground
road at $150 an acre. Sale on El kin's lot
ha been discontinued for a few days
Remitted. Monday County Treasurer
Far well remitted to Geo W Webb, secre
tary of state, a check for $15,000 to apply
on L.inn county's state tax, the total
mount of which Is $21,500.

Between 4 and 20 .A census of child
ren drawing school money, being between
the ages of 4 and 20, Is being taken by Mr
S Shupp for school district 5. The num

yet been completed.
B. & L. Association. The first meeting
of the directors of the Albany Building and
Loan Association was held last Monday at
theolTice of Hewitt, Bryant & Irvine. The
director were sworn In Immediately and
organised by the election of the following
permanent officers for the ensuing year j

President j Jay W Blaln, Secretary ; Geo
II Keeney, Treasurer j O II Irvine, Attor.

of the Secretary and Treasurer were placed
at $5,000. Blanks were .ordered secured
at once by the Secretary, with recommen
dation that he confer with the Portland
Association and giving preference to Al
bany firms as far as possible In securing
same. The stock book Is now at the office
of the Secretary where subscriptions will
be taken until the third Friday in March,
when the fi-t regular meeting will be held
at the office of Hewitt, Bryant & Irvine,
and about $ikk will probably be loaned,
and perhaps more, depending on the amount
of slock taken. In a city Tike Albany the
number of shares should be at least one
thousand, and those who have not Invested
Id be urged to do so.
Got Mad. Plpes.ot the Benton Leader,
got mad because the Democrat spoke of
his In (our type read un) exhaustible arti
cles on the Agricultural College and of the
fact that he would probably be writing on
the same subject twenty yetrs hence.
Really we didn't Intend any offense but
some people In this world will get frustrat
ed if you put a pin in tholr ch-ilr. We
didn't do that mu:h. We have never In
terfered In the matter because it was
Benton county affair, not from a lack of
Interest in the College,Hecause some of our
brightest men here were educated there,
and we hope to see It placed on a solid
fooling. Hold your temper.Brother Pipes,
and don't get mad at a little pleasantry.
We appreciate your efforts In behalf of the
College, and If any one ever advocated a
cause from Alpha to Omega it I Mr.IMpes
of the Leader, and we admire the ability
and perseverence and grit displayed bv
him. Now do keep your hat off, and we'il
take It all back..
State Temper anck Alliance. The
first meeting of the Alliance was held at
the W. C.T. U. Hall beginning at 3:00
o'clock, and was mostly of a business na

Kinney will deliver one of the addresses
She is a favorite among temperance people
here and will draw a bit; audience. Amonz

Wed. Feb. 6
A Modern Philippic Dimlck, of Ma
rion, vociferously opposed WallU Nash as a
regent of the State Agricultural College.
He is said to have made the following re
marks, which we publish just to show how
a modern man can manufacture a Philipp
ic. No doubt it will tickle even Mr. Nash :
"I have handed Governor Pennoyer many
petitions against the appointment of Nash.
yet he named him. 1 he farmers of the
Valley do not want Nash for recent. He is
about as well qualified for that position as
hell is for a po order house. I only wish now
that I had another chance to vote on the
Agricultural College bill. I would vote
against n. It has been stated that the Col
lege cannot get along without him. The
College will never amount to anything
wnue ne is in il
A Little Mixed. In speaking on the
Northrupbiil Senator Watts thus eloquent
ly brought down the House : "When the
weary mariner, after battling with the cle
menu tor weeks and months at last ap
proaches the yawning portal of the Co
lumbia river, he watches his 'barometer
very closely in order to ascertain his exact
position In which, etc." Of ccurse he
meant compass, though very few noticed
the fact The Astoria Pioneer in comment
ing on the speech says : "It requires neith
er 'barometer or chronometer to get Fog
horn' position on a matter that has a finan
cial string attached to It."
A Lijtxite. The Salom JaurmaT$ pen
picture reveal the fact that quite a num
ber of the best members of the Legislature
have some time resided in Linn county.
Here is one of thens : "Mr. Powell is the
republican Representative from Polk coun
ty, and is a resident of the city of Mon
mouth at which place he is busily engaged
in the pursuit of general farming. Helgis
an Illinoian by birth and wa born in that
itate March 20, 1010. Twentv-one years
later we find him located on a farm in Linn
county, this state, where he resided for a
number of year. But in 1870 he removed
to Polk county where he could find better
school facilities for his children."
Some R. E. Sales. Lot In Elkins addi
tion to Albany are going like hot cakes.
Monday morning the following sales were
made-of lots in this addition,? 150 for Ferry
Street lots and $125 for Washington Street
lot : V C Tweeda!e,8 lots j T L Wallace
4 lots ; W II Metzgar. 2 lots ; Mis Hettie
Miller, 2 lot ; George Warren, 10 lot
Other sales are I Beam to C VV Sears, 2 lots
and residence, 3rd ward, $1800: W W
Crowder to Mr Ferrell.of Eugcne,residence
property, 3rd ward, $1000.
Disgusted. Said a disgusted tramp to
hi New York associate on his -return
from a western tour: "They said I would
find wonderful advance in the west, but I
didn't find a man who would advance me a
cent." Had he gone to Conn Bros. Al
bany, Oregon, he would have been able to
buy groceries, of a splendid quality so
cheap that even a tramp could not growl.
xney are in tne advance in tuts respect.
Speculating Mr Phil Cohen informs
the Democrat that he ha bargained for
24 lot In Hackleman's 3d addition, the con
slderation of which is private. -We under
stand this will be beyond the new city
limits, and is not yet laid off. Mr Cohen
believes in a great future for Albany, and
among other enterprises is in favor of tak
ing the gs ordinance oil the table and
granting the franchise for twenty-five
years. . xnis is a time wnen push 1 need-

A Goo Bill. The one introduced by
Paulsen. It provides for a State board of

per month. This latter would hit the crowd
running at the Opera House this week.

JUR SALKtf LETTER.
Feb. 19th, 1889.
Editor Democrat 1
This Is the veto day the water bill of
Portland was vetoed this morning and the
veto was considered In the House this p.m.
The friends were confident of 42 votes. But
like all human affairs they fell short and
when the vote came It was 39 to 21. .There
were no speeches, but there was no abate
ment of Interest." When the vote was an
nounced there was cheering In the lobby,
and a general rush to congratulate the
Governor. This expression was from the
people and not from friend ot the measure
to relieve the bond from taxation. We
were talking this over with a prominent
banker a day or two since, and he thought
Portland banker were off In Insisting upon
non-taxable bond. He would take his
share of bonds taxed or not And he re
minded me that when Salem bor.ds for the
bridge were Issued upon legislative sane
tbn no one thought they should be free
from taxation. This reminds us of another
fact that Salem bridge bonds sold as five
per cent bonds and the party that got them
paid five hundred dollars premium for
them. Now it this I an example and
Portland bonds propese to be five cent
bonds why not take a lesson from Salem
and sell their taxable bonds fur a premium
provided they now pass the bill as Salem
did with taxable bonds. The Governor
view this subject correctly.
Now, there maybe no dome put on the
State House this year. The Capital square
land bill may die from an electric battery
applied to its neck, and Wilson Avenue
may wait a time wlien the State will clean
It Out and make it a State appendant AU
but one from Marlon sustained the Govern
ors veto, and that was Wilson, ot Salem.
But the hopeful think Salem wilt get all
these things notwithstanding her delega
tion do not stand In with current event.
Now comes the veto of the R. R. Com-1
mission bill. It may pass over the veto.
Then' what ? The emergency clause will
be of no use. The Governor did not sign
the bill. If it becomes a law by passing It
over his veto, then It will run ninety oays.
11 it runs ninety uays inen the Oovemor
will appoint the Commissioners, It will oe
forced upon him to do so. The fun I In
solving this question. Does the veto of the
oovernor change the condition of the bill
so as to destroy the emergency clause. It
must lor that destroys the condition upon
which it should become a law "as soon as
signed by the Governor." The Governor
does not sign it, that emergency conditton
cannot be complied with hence ninety
days must run. If the ninety days run
then the Governor must appoint the Com
missioner. Thl being the case we look
for two sets of Commissioners if the veto is
not sustained, one set to be appointed by
the Legislative assembly and the other by
the Governor. The Railroad Commission
er bill is not regarded as a great necessity,
but it is a pavinir institution upon no cap!
tal Invested, not even eoough to keep up
appearances. It will become a law no
doubt and If the Governor appoints the
Commissioners, there wilt be fun on the
side. And what are we to do ? The Leg
islative assembly ha got away with en
ough and It can affotd to let the Governor
have hi way awhile. The truth I the Port
land water bill should have passed, vetoed
and passed again the first ten day of the
session as It would had It been tried. But
now the 'boys" have made their raise In so
many cases that trade are disgusting."
As Dr. Watt remarked in hi peech In
the Senate, if Portland could not get Bull
Run water it could drink the river slums
or take lager beer, holding one to be about
as desirable a the other. But in a few days
all member will come together on the pay
rou and wind up thl taxation.
SOJOURNER.
AN AMSWEIl.
Tangent, Or, Feb. 20th, 1889.
Editor t Democrat :
In a late number of your paper occurred
a communication from a Mr. B. M. Ander
son, of Hope, Kansas, In regard to a visit
of his brother-in-law, of Tangent, Oregon.
That communication had for its heading
"Oregon Fever," with which he stated that
some of hi neighbors had slight attack,
and he wanted "a few sample homeopathic
doses of the Democrat to assist him In
Haying or Increasing the epidemic," or
words to that effect Mr. Anderson, after
stating that the last three years had been
unprofitable to farmers of Kansas, In con
sequence of dry weather, hot winds and
chlntx bugs, gives us to understand that
some of them will be casting about tor a
more congenial climate where toil of the
farm is better requited. Further along in
his little spicy letter Mr. Anderson quotes
wen nign to scripture to prove that the
book Is not true, or else - that the Kansas
farmer would reap instead of the pesky
bugs, etc He further says that if Oregon
presents such favorable opportunities some
Kansans will be wendlntr their wsy Ore-
(onwards. Now, Mr. Editor, I have re
viewed the substance of this short letter of
Mr. Anderson's of I Iope.Kansas,olt except
the latter clause of the last sentence that
sets me back a litter, and roils me all up.
This would-be legislator of Hope, Kansas,
finished up his letter to the Democrat in
these words : "But we desire more light
or reliable information in regard to farms
and larnMng In Oregon." This search after
more reliable Information by the writer of
the Hope, Kansas, letter appears to me to
be a reflection upon the truthfulness of
my statements in regard to my home
Oreeon. I visited my father, slsteis and
brothers after an absence of 15 years, who
are sccuerea over Kansas, Iowa and Mon
tana, and I certainly would not tell -them
anything but the truth. I would not live
in Kansas, Iowa or any of the states ad
joining them give me Oregon as Jong as
1 live. .

OUR 8ALi.lt LETTER.
Feb. iSth,i889.
Bditon Detnocrat :
The Legislature will renew work to-day,
It being the last week. It will be time to
sum up the Hbe al appropriations made
after all these bills for distributing the
property of the people have become laws.
They will astonish those who confine them
selves to constitutional limits. There art
however bills of merit that the people will
gladly sustain.
The bill for a State weather service is
one that will be a great benefit to the peo
ple of the State and to our schools. This
signal service science though In It Infancy
should be taught In our schools. It calls

The bill for a reform school passed. This
bill carries with It $30,000 to secure build
ings and operate the school. Minors under
30 years of age convicted of a crime pun
ishable by Imprisonment tn the penitenti
ary or county jail may be sent to this re
form school, or If a religious society or
body to which the parents of the minor
may belong, make application, If said so
clety has a suitable Institution for the care
of said minor, to have him turned over to
said society It may be done. He shall re
main In either place until he Is bound out
or reformed. The discharge ot a boy who
has reformed shall be a complete 'release
from all penalties. This school is much
needed.
The joint resolution requiring the Super
intendent or Warden of the penitentiary to
reside In quarters at the prison has not the
force of law on that subject and really Is no
requirement But It will be observed.
Until the Incoming of the present adminis
tration, Superintendents and Wardens lived
at the prison where their presence was
needed day and night. Superintendents
for the past two years have taken no ra
tions from the State.
Thi Monmouth Normal school failed In
the House by one vote. The blil to protect
salmon and other food fishes passed the
Senate. This bill prevents contaminating
streams with saw dust or other Injurious
substances. This bill though slow in com
ing Is much needed. The time was when
a man purchased shad on New England
rivers to which they made their annual
run, he had to take so many salmon away,
they were so plentiful that they were
worthless. But time begot ship building
and also mills on these streams and other
things that ruined the rivers for salmon so
now there is seldom If ever a salmon caught
In these old salmon grounds.
Bill for the relief of the several counties
will pas. This will wipe out a large sum
due the State that these counties have neg
lected to pay.
The railroad commissioner bill still slum
bers In the hands ot the Governor. A nd It
I not looked for until the last momentand
that wKl be Tuesday night The question
Is asked, "what wilt the Governor, do with
It" It was asserted in third House that
the Governor would veto it because the
salaries are insufficient Senator Irvine
tried to amend the bill and give the Com
missioner power to make a freight rate tor
railroads as there was nothing tn tne dui
but salaries. If that 1 so, It is enough, for
the ralarie amount to nine thousand five
hundied dollars per annum, besides expen
ses are to be paid by the Stale which may
not be much lets. 1 tit includes tne cier.
Opinion Is very much divided on this blil
and were it one suited to the condition of
alleged railroad 'encroachments upon the
people tne oovernor wouio no oouoi
favor I:. It I In the nature of a search
warrant without the power to take the
thing when it Is found. Inadequate com
pensation however Is good ground lor the

Pacquets' bill amending the school law
passed the House Saturday. It Is Impor
tant to teachers. It extends teachers' cer
tificates of the third grade to one year $
second grade to two years ; and first grade
lo three years ; and it allows of no renewals
that Is, a teacher who has once secured a
third grade certificate must at his next ex
amination get second grade, and a person
who has a second grade certificate must be
able to pass for a firs', grade when hi two
years are up, and the teacher who receives
first grade certificate and teaches three
7ears is then entitled to a State certificate.
I!
f he teaches four years under the Slate
certificate he will '.hen be entitled to a
State diploma. This will test the metal of
teachers and If they cannot ride they must
get out and walk.
The bill will no doubt
become a law.

Indians on the War Pat.
Helena, Mont., Feb. 19. Intelligence of
an Indian outbreak at Demersville, Mont, in
the Flathead country, reached here to-day. T.
E. ClilTord, postmaster at that place, caught
an Indian in the act of stealing goods from the
rear of his store building. In the fight that re
sulted from Clifford's attempt to recover the
goods, an Indian was killed. Many rumors
are rife. The story given the most credit is to
the effect tbst the Indians lay in wait for Clif
ford and killed him between his store and the
hotel.
An intensely bitter feeling exists between tbe
settlers and the Indians, as the settlers have
been greatly annoyed by prowling Indians
from this reservation, as well as from the To
bacco plains country north of tham. A large
number of Indian women and children are en
route to the agency at Arlce and this would in
dicate that the Indians were preparing for a
raid of rapine murder. It is reported that Dr.
Cunningham was also killed.
Frightful Accident.
HAKTHOkD, ConnM Feb. 18. Just before
day-light this morning the city was stared by
tlie sound of a terrific ext'loion,and immediate
ly tbe persons in that section near the capital
were further startled by a sound of crashing
wall and falling timlxrs, mingled with the
screams of women and shouts of men coming
from the vicinity of High and Allen streets,
which had been the site of the Park Central
hotel.
Those who hurried to the spot found a huge
pile of stone and brick, and splintered timbers
from which white clouds of steam arose.streak
ed and blackened by wreaths of smoke that
rapidly grew more dense. Then tongues of flam
es lc3ed out here and there, gradually grow
ing stronger until the ruin was a roaring heap.
Ciics and moans came from pile, which made
the bystanders sick with horror. '
Tbe magnitnde of the calamity can not be
realized. In fact, its extent is not yet known.
The register of the hotel is'not yet found, and Mr.
Perry, the night clerk, is buried in ' the ruins.
But from the best estimate that can be obtain
ed from landlord and otbers, it is prqbable
there were not far from fifty people in the hotel
proper. Of those, perhaps five may have es
caped uninjured amid the confusion of the early
morning hours, which would leave forty-five
unaccounted tot, Ten are in the hospital, and
up to this writing (midnight) sixteen dead bod
ies have been taken from the ruins, leaving
nineteen still missing, but there may be more
than this
The cause of the disaster was undoubtedly
the explosion of a boiler in the basement. No
engineer was on duty at the time.
A Cyclone.
Birmingham, AU., Feb. 18. It I report

"It has been frequently asserted that Mr.

Thc ruined building was tbe Owiegs block, a

lower stories fell in one after another,
leaving the walls, four upper floors and roof
standing in a decidedly shaky condition. Ia
tbe tenth story the tile flooring was defection or
was damaged by the natural settling of tbe
building.
