A Jack Kahhit Hunt. Umatilla conn

from the Pifnevllle News : A match

between Ora Pclndexter and John Tem

and Dave Stewart on the other side. The

American Uuthling and Loan association
in Albany, have now abandoned pay
ments In the ssnte, 35 shares of stock
were held Jtere and $177 was paid to the
concern, lhe members think they wi:i
get $175 back. The association has oecn
shown up to be eery rotten and lias been
run on a vlllanlous'plan, and there Is talk
of suppressing it. nu truth is the plan
Is aliout the same as all national anocla-
Ion, and It Is not safe to Invest In any of
them. Deal only with local associations,
which are known to be tale.
Tit Caxsfs. The census takers will

seven or elht men In Linn county, and al

great Importance that they be men wbo
are thorough and reliable. As the time Is
nearly here and the census wttl be rushed
it wilt be in order not to da much boastlnjr
ntil after its completion, and then some
localities should have their excuses well
prepared.

beneficiaries of $3,000 amounting In the
aijregate to $100,000. This $2,000 bene-
ficiary payment In nearly every Instance

ALBANY AH IT !..
We are in receipt of a letter from
gentlemen living In Taylorvll'e, III, who
tayti
"1 have been seeking for some time to
obtain some detailed Information about
Albany Oregon. A subscriber to the Dkm
ockat here tell me that If I will write
lo you for specific Informitlon you will
furnish It, If you will do so, 1 would
like to have light on the following points
Locatloni population, as to number and
quality of cltlaccnshlp; manufacturing fa
clllletatto powei etc.; school, college!
churches, surrounding country as to ag
ricuiture, horticulture etc. 1 climate i a
mount of ralnfull; hulns outlook for the
town: what faclltlr fur transportation
character of business men with reference
to the spirit of enterprise and progress of
lhe (own and such other matter a would
be of Interest to young man who desires
to locate in a thrifty growing town.-W.
hear much said about Oregon and that
Albany I destined to be one of the best
town in mat state, 11 your report 1
favorable you may look out for several
additions to your town from this part of
trie-sucker Klale
At we get e many tetter similar to the
above, we deem It advisable to answer
through th cotum of the Demqctat.
Albany, a will be seen by reference to any
good map ot the state, It situated on the
east bank of the Willamette river In Linn
county, of which It I the csunty test. It
hat a population of about 5000 people
The gteat bulk of the population I Amer
lean born, though there It quite a fair
hare of German,Engtish, Irish, Canadian,
etc. The ettktenship in point of character
Is excellent, being enterprising, Industri
ous and law-abiding. The faclltie for
manufacturing are excellent, a magnifi
cent water power furnished by tlte Albany
and Santlam canal.conttructed from a point
on the south Santlam River to Albany, a
distance of fourteen mite and with a ca
pacity of 30,000 running feet per minute,
and thl supply may be doubled with very
little expense. Already a new woolen
mill lately constructed at cost of $75000,
run by thl power. Besides, there are
four Routing mills, tn ice factory, electric
light plant, two furniture factories, Iron
foundry, web wire factory, grain storage
houses, ash and door factories and ether
run by this power and yet there Is abun
dant room f'ir further utilisation of thl
power. On account ot tin vast water
pow.r excellent transportation factlltles,
easy access to unlimited quantities of ma
terials, Albany is destined to be and will
soon become, the great manufacturing
Lowell of the ttate As to the surrounding
country with reference to agrlcnlture and
horticulture, we can frankly say that It
could hardly be belter. In all direction
from the city are vast expan tea ot nalrle
lands, level, skirted here and thert with
limber and brush lands, very productive
wheat, oats, and barley. Potatoes,
cabbage, turnip and In fact all kind ot
vegetable with proper care and cultivation
are grown in great abundance.
Apple. pear,plum,caerrie,prune,grap.
sd otber fruit grow in great abundance, It
it af to say that nowhere do apples, pears,
plums, cberriet and proae do better than here
in tbe Willamette valley.
In a generel tense there mar be taid to be
bat two climatic seasons here, tbe ury season
and tbe wet teason. Tbe wet or rainy season
begin t usually about tbe (mt or middle of Nov-
ro!er and continue up to the middle of April,
uriag which period it rain a great deal. Of
course there are days, and even week, at
timet, during this period, that are dry, sun
shiny and verv pleasant. Strange as it may
appear to person raised in otber and different
climates, this teason i very healthy, and tbe
nor continuous the rain th better is health.
We do not have the tame degreet of heat
bete that people wbo live in the tame latitude
east of the Rocky Mountsia are subjocted to.
And wheo tbe thermometer bete nistk 90 de
gree, the heat i not so oppressive a the tame
degree in the Misataippt Valley, for, a a rule,
when the thermometer reaches the above indi
cated degree here, by four or five o'clock in
tbe evening of such days the weather ha mod
crated through the influence nf sea breezes,
which at that hour begin to sweep over tbe
valley, that a woolen coat i often required.
The tjighta are refreshing and invigorating.
Scarcely a night during summe,- but that one
or more blankets are rtqnired while sleeping.
Tb thermometer marks 20 degreet above aero
ordinarily in the coldest days of winter. Once
in the history of the country (winter of 1S74-5)
the tbermometerjmarked 10 degrees below sero
Tint filled the oldest inhabitant with amaze
ment. One winter subsequent to the above
tbe thermometer marked zero. These are the
"hard winter" to which Oregor.ians refer
when ciscurstne the weather. But on neither
of these occasions iii the cold last more than
two day. Sometimes quite heavy tnow fall
here, but they soon melt away under the soft
ening influence of a chinook wind-
Tbe average yearly rainfall here it about 45
inches. One year with another it raini much
more in Ilbnoit than in Oregon.
; For transforation faculilies, Albany it re
markably fortunate and well supplied, with
prospect t fair of ttill better. It is on the line
of the Southern Pacific connecting Portland,
Oregon, with San Francisco. It it on the line
of the Oregon Pacific in course of construction
from Yaquina Bay, on the Pacific Ocean,
Boise City, Idaho, where connection with
someone of the trans continental routes from
the eatt will be made. Thit road is already
completed from Yaquina Bay to Albany and
thence on east from Albany, a distance of 60
miles, or 145 miles from Yaquina Bay. Thit
road make close connection with a line
Ocean steamer plying betw een the Bay . and
San Francisco. Beside this we have connec
tion with Portland by steamboat that ply the
Willamette river, A branch line of the South
ern Pacific connectt with Lebancn, a very
thriving town, fourteen miles east of Albany.
A company hat been duly organized, and
route turveyed, for a railroad from Albany to
Astoria at the mouth of thi Columbia river,
work on which, w are assured, will begin
earir the coming season, Thus it will be teen
that Albany it destined to be a railroad center
for the Willamette Valley, which, of itself,
an earnest of rapid, prosperous growth of the
city, The real estate transactions in Albany
last year were very large amounting to an es
timated aggregate of $700,000. The improve
menta by way of construction of business, man
ufacUn ing, and dwellirg houses amounted to
1 bom 8400, oco. Hichly creditable' as this
showing is, it it insignificant in comparison
with tbe progress and improvement which ar
foreshadowed in the preparations for the com
ine year. Without extravagance, we feci safe
in saying to our Illinois friend that Albany
"nquestionably the coming city of the Willanv
ette Valley, Our business men are .fuliy nv
bued with that energetic spirit of pluck and
enterprise to essential to the building up of a
great manufacturing and commercial city.
The cstizent of this place have, in times past,
contributed at bonuset $175,000 for the en
couragement of railroads, woolen mills, etc
They are fully alive ta their interests. The
city has a" excellent fire drpaitment, being
two ertclne companies and a hook and ladder
company, The department has two we!
i
i M , I
equipped tlenm engine with tb use of which,
oa account of the great abundance of water
tlw city hat suffered but very little from fire!
The owner of th Orer-on Pacific railroad have
invested largely In real estate here which it an
avurjnee that th company will use its extend
ed influence in building up lhe place. Already
the company hat built a round haute, and will
in the near future establish their machine shops
here, at well at build a large, (Ommodiout
brick building to be used at the principal of
fset of the company. Already the city is light
td with a good electric light system which wiil
be extended and enlarged from time to time
at he demands of the city may rcpiire. A
tystem of strce. cart hst already been inaugur
ated, and will be kept up lotho public need.
The city is well furnished with educa
tional Institutfont. We have a hirge
commodious pnbllc school building built
at a cost of $20,000, in which are em
ployed eight teachers. Wo have, also, a
college under the control of lhe Presbyle
Ian church, though entirely non denomi
national In Its conduct and management.
It I well supported and flourishing. We
have also an academy under control of
the Slstert of th. Cathode church, well
patronized ard prospering. Beside these,
there It a number of private schools In
cluding two Kindergarten Educational
Interest are looked after closely by our
people. The following religious denomi
nation have congregations and church
bulldlngt heres Congregational, United
Presbyterian, Prenbyterian, Unfveriallaf,
M E Church, Evangelical, Baptist, Episco
pal, M E Church South and Chrisitan,
At Indicative of the butinest of the cltr we
would My Ibere are four ho'.elsand a Urge
dumber of private boarding houses and
restaurants, three banks, one national and
and two private and all doing a. healthy
buslnes. eight real estate firms, two new.
papers, both Issuing dilly and weck'y
editions, three Job offices and a great va
riety of other businesses tuch at would
find their way Into a thriving energetic
town. The cash value of the taxable prop
erty ofthe city aggregate about $5,000,000.
We have thus attempted to answer In a
general way the question asked, and in
conclusion will say that we have no hesi
tation in saving that If our Illinois friend
should come to Albany to "grow up" with
a prosperous, growing ton lie will not
have come In vain, and will never have
caue to regret the choice he ha made.

mother, different father. Tnls is a mlse
take. The mother wa never married but-
once, and had no husband but Blaine, the
winer ot ooiii n u and J U Btalne. The
fact I well-known here, and Prof Lane
hat told scores of persons about It" Wtl-
come.
It is said by panic In Satem when the
late M G Lane first made hi appearance
in that city tht Ida real name wa Blaine
and that he wa a brother of J G. It wa I
aid hi reason for changing his name wa
that on indictment had been brought a-
galntt him by k St Louis grand jury, and
that he left before trial and found it con.
venlent to assume another name.

of leave to make one pound of the ltar. The I
rote leaves are picked in the proper teason,
thrown into piles and then taken up and placed
in large copoer kettles for the purpose of dis-1
tilling the pure oil or attar. The kettle are
arranged one within another and the leaves
are taken through twenty five or thirty distil

sometimes retails for ijri lo 6o aa ounce.
Dututh, the "city of the unsalted seas,'
so satirized by Proctor Knott, has a great
deal more than realized the expectations
of it founder . Some Idea of its business
activity and enterprise is furnished by tbe
statement that one of It corporation ha
contracted for i.Ooo ton of steel ship
plate. They are to be used In the con
struction at Duluth of seven great vessels,
of .30 poo ton aggregate capacltv, all of
which are to be built thla year.

which the influenxa attacked a person af

The destruction of human life bv our

portions. According to the estimate of
the Inter-State Commerce Commissioner
the mortality from thh cause in a tingle

period the number nf persons Injured In
railroad accidents rea l-e 27,89s.
