At their suggestion the grand jury Investigated the asylum, and they found that the Inmates appeared to be as comfortable and happy as that unfor tunate class of humanity could be expected to be found, and also said that for a grand jury to report it clean and neat would fall far short of giving the expression of this grand jury. They also simply recom mended that the food of the employes and Inmates be as nearly alike.in quality ,a pas. sible. So there was a lot of talk for noth ing. How High. A dispute has arisen as to whether the water in Oregon City was higher than during the flood of 1861. The following from the Enterprise stems to settle the question : "It is pretty gener ally conceded that the flood of 1 890. ex ceeds that of 1861 by about two feet in the city .and below by even more than that. The waters continued to rise rapfdlr be tween seven and ten o'clock. At the Phoe nix building at that hour the waters touched the mark of 1861. The rie in the lower part of town was even greater and It is maintained that the flood exceeded that of 1S61 by several feet-" It Grows. It is astonishing how news will grow and enlarge as it goes away from home. Apropos of this enbject, we have bro shown a letter received by J M Archibald living near this city from a relative living in Ohio saying that tele graphic news received there slates that all the Willamette Valley and most all of Washington was covered with a flood of water and making inquiries about losses of life and property. When we consider that all the losses In the Willamette Valley dur Ingthe late flood would not equal the one hundredth part of the loss In Cincinnati in the flood five years ago, ours at once sinks into insignificance.

That all persons in giving a statement of prop erty shall be aworn and in case the owner refuses to make the statement the assessor shall double the figures. That all proper ty shall be assessed at Us full value. Somk Sales.--The real estate market Is opening In good shape in Albany, showing firm prices, with a decidedly upward tendency. Mr Crll Burkhart, Wallace Si Cuslck agents, has sold to W II and Rufua Thompson, 5S acres ad joining the Jason Wheeler farm, for $6000. Mrs Rufus Thompson has sold to Mr Mara Hulbert the two lots runnln alomr the East side of the Dr R C Hilt property for $2000. Mrs Thompso paid Scoo for the same two or three years ago.' .

A wagon load of Eastern mail was received to-day; but it was all mixed up by the postal clerks, and as many of them were for Eugene as for Albany and some were for Jefferson and other places, while the Portland and other packages belonging here were sent on. Most of the Eastern mail was papers and magazines. Some people never will be rich, Because they're always Hewing And fussing over something which Seme other fellow's doing.

The firs', regular passenger train from Portland to Corvat'is since a week ago last Saturday, came over the West Side road yesterday on time and will here after run regutaily. Notwithstanding he fact that this road does not receive nearly as much attention as does the East side, it has proven Itself to be the proper out for the main line from Portland. Oh, yes. Two or three days ahead on several week's blockade, that proves a good deal. The line Is several miles longer, much slower to travel, and has se.eral other little items against it's be coming the main' line.

We recently told a pump story i the Democrat. The following from the OcVoco Review, we admit surpasses it: "Mark Twain, in his "Big Bonanza," tells of the bottom falling out of a well in Virginia City, but an incident occurred on Willow creek last week that lays Mark's story In the shade. S S Brown had a well ntar the creek, and when the flood came the entire well, pump and all, was washed away.

He was preparing for an extensive dinner and killed three fowls.

Dur ing the summer cf iSSS, the business men f Albany said they did not want a board of irade, consequently It quietly ceased lo exist. During the life of the board of trade it took nine members to constitute a quorum, rhe president would call a mrellng.the tlty papers would urge mem bers to attend, the otlicers Iwould vo out nn the streets and beg members to go. the hall would be lighted and read v. the meeting would consist of the president and secretary, a represcnutive of each eft), city papers, and generally one other man. sometimes there would be six or seven present, but not quorum. If the city I ready for a board of trade, if the business men will attend and keen one un. then I think II the duty of "elllxen' and "several Business men of this city" to organUe board of trade and go to work to advertise he advantages of Albany. ANOTHER ClTUEM. Wext Hlmtino. Tuesday nooagtwo ell known Albany men, named K E Allen and C E Hawkins left Albany In it skiff on a hunting expedition down tho river, and their experience has probably never been equalled by Albany nlmrods. Un getting ready lo return, when severa miles down the river, they found the cur rent tr swlfi, and out Into a small take on this side, just where thev didn't know. In making an effort o get out they- had a wading experience up lo the arms, and finally giving up getting out, evening coming on, they camped out In their wet and cheerless condition, and it was not until 10 o'clock 0.1 Wednesday that they reached home.not having anything to eat for nearly twenty four hours. It Is not safe to ask them any questions. This country has Its drawbacks, but they are nothing to compare with what Western Oregon had to contend with last week. The floods there were most disastrous. The damage to the S V rail road are of such a nature that it will take several months lo put the road In running condition. Elsewhere we give some Items from the piinevl'.Ie papers, which somewhat contradict the above. Instead of taking several months to get the road In running condition, cars are now running through Western Oregon. - IlirUOVKMOTis AT ALBA NT. The West Uni t Veaelss ef tkt SstaaMa. No lown In the WIUtieU valley Is shewing g renter lUti and progress than Al bany. During the past year the popula tion has increased twenly-flvo per cent, and the value of real estate has made an advance three times as great. The causes which trdlo this are stlil at work and the city 'is making great progress, This growth It of the most henithy nature as it comes from within and Is the work of her 0vn cttlxena. Situated at the point where tho main Oregon line of the Southern Pa cific Is crossed by that of the Oregon Pa. clflo on its way from Yaqulna bay to an eastern connection at Boise City, Albany has great advantages as a railroad center. There, a'so, lines of steamers on the Willamette make connection with the 1st ter road, The project of a road from AU bony to tho mouth of the Columbia, at Astoria, Is being pushed with great vigor by the citizens, and In many other respects the city is exhibiting that internal life and enterprise which He, at the bottom 1 1 ill progress. Tributary to Albar.y are the Santlam gold and stiver mines, new being developed and proved to be extensive and valuable, also large coal measures that are undergoing development. The agricul tural, stock and timber resources of the surrounding country are very grest.so that in all the elements of prosperity the city is exceedingly rich. une ot the improvements of the past year was the Masonic Temple.a handsome structure which will be dedicated cn the twenty-first oi the mouth with appropriate ceremonies by the olllcers ot the grand lodge ot Oregon, assisted by Masons from every part of the state. The most Impor lant Improvement Is the woolen mill.wlilch wss completed and beeun operating In January. The building is of brick, three stories high, on a stone foundation, row. er for the carding machines, spindles and looms Is supplied by the Santlam canal, while a large engine Is held In reserve for emergencies, steam from the bcllere heat Ing the building, Electric lights are used throughout the building. .The machinery is 01 lite newest design, and the business ts under the management of experienced men. To secure this great Industry the cllliens subscribed $35,000, which is but one of the manifestations of theprogres sive spirit exnioitca oy mem tno past year. HAL8EY. A eubsrrKcr sends the following from the Pacific Express, for publication. It U a good writeupof a thriving neighbor. The town has a population of about five hundred, and for general neatness, sobri ety, order and thrift, has no superior In Oregon. The streets are regularly laid out and kept clear of rubbish and very few unpalnled houses are to be seen. An other notable feature is that the shops are unusually large and roomy for the sUe ot the place and suggests the laudable am. billon of the first builders to have their town developed It.to a city. The moral tone of llalicy is also ex cep'lonally good, as Indeed might bo In ferred from ihe very appearance of its streets and buildings, and the most praise worthy thing that can be said of the town1, Is that it will not tolerate a sloon, and has not had any such den ot Iniquity "to make business lively for several years. Nor Is this high regard for decency, or der and morality Inconsistent with busi ness activity as is often cialmel, tor there Is no other town of equal sixe In which a greater amount ot business Is transacted Tnere are four large ware houses In Ihe place and il Is claimed and estimated from reasonable good data that there Is mure hay and grain stortd here direct from the farm than any other town In the Willam ette valley, and more apples are shipped from this point than from any other be tween Roscburg and Portland. One firm having shipped to Montana 10x100 boxes Fjut year une 01 the principle general enterprises In which the people of Ual.cy are inter esting themselves is Ihe extension of a branch line of railroad from this point up the Callpoula river. If this line is built llalsey will soon rank with Albany and Eugene as a trading point. There are three large and handsome church buildings and from what we know of the people they are good ma terial indices of Ihe moral power wielded by the large congregations that fill iheir pews. The school advantages of ItaUey are al so of superior character. A $5000 school building ontalnlng four commodious schoo rooms has Just been completed. This building Is highly creditable to He! . sev; tnd the school which has attained to high degree of efficiency under the able prlnclpalship of Prof. O F Russell prom ises etlil greater progress under the same elfirbmt management. 1 he finest agricultural .lands In good state of improvement can be had at from io to $3 pee cre and town property can be had at correspondingly low prices. WHY HM WD IT. Don't Nee It If Albany, Ashland Eugene, Grant's Pass and Corvallis should begin a fight to get the state capital away ..- e e -a .... irom oaiem, mere might be same such a quarrel as Is now in progress between Seattle and Tacoma, but we doubt It. The Oregon cities arc clad to hear of each other's prosperity and are keeping a good example b-iars the jealous and mud- slinging people of towns which arc grow ing up close together in other states.

Uecrge gdiewraft Slisuts llletcMef and Vsfe Last December Georgn SaUmarsh, of this city, and Miss Lola Klley, of Eugene, were united In marriage nt the latter city. About three weeks ago at the depot Mr, Saltmsrslt informed a Democrat man that his wife had left him and gave bin. the particulars o! their trouble, which were, boiled down, that she did not love htm ; but laved some one else,and believing that they could not be happy together she had concluded to icturn to Iter Iwme, which she did on the outgoing train. This was forty two days after their marriage. She was to have a week lo decide whether she would return a id live with htm, which he did not believe she woula ever do He said it was more than ha could stand, and he would go off until the end of the week, as he wat all broken up. Otherwise they, had been happy together. Last Thursday he went to Eugene to see her,ilmoet mad. dened by hs trouble. lie found her Jhere; also the young man who was said to be at the bottom of the trouble, who had only recently been married himself. Mr.' Saltinarsh Induced his wife to return to Albany and they came here together on Saturday. Uiving up all hopes of reconciliation he made up his mind to end both of their lives, buying a Smith k Wesson revolver, JH calibre, on Monday for that purpose, Monday evening just b fore 9 o'clock he started for his mother's homc.showlng the revolver to some friends and remarking thai he. was going on a journey. Going Into the house on Second Street he told hit wlto and mother that he had concluded to go off and would leave for California In the morning. His wife, for just what cause Is not known, rushed bareheaded In to the street.and west along Second Street. Young Saltinarsh followed her, catching up with her In front of Mrs. C. O. Lee's, when he said t "Lola, I'm going to kill you," She faced him and putting her hands on his shoulders said 1 "Don't shoot me, George, don't." Then he raised the revolver and nei- vousiy pulled the trigger. Tha bullet struck Mrs. Ssltmsrsh's left car.plerclng It from In front as well as the flesh back of Hand she tell to the sidewalk more from fright than from Injury, the wound being only a slight one. The coor young man then turned the revolver towards his right temple and a bullet crashed along his braiii. just breaking the skull and entering about a quarter ot an Inch, leaving It about two Inches from where U first touched it, mix Ingthe skull with the bralna,whlch oesed sligntly from the wound. He leaned up against atrif, when Mr. John Schmeer reached him from his livery stable Imme diately afterwards.and on being questioned said he had shot himself and Lota and she would only live thirty minutes. At the time of ihe tragedy Mrs Klley, mother of Mrs. Saltmarsh, was standing near.havlng followed them into tSe street. Young Saltmarsh was taken to hi mother , here he was attended by Drs. Wallace and Mas- ton, and Mrs. Saltmarsh to Mrs C. O. Lee's, where Dr. Ellis attended her. On the person ot the principal to the tragedy was found a bottle of laudanum, will, con siderable gone, and he was undoubtedly under Its Influence at the time of the shoot ing. There was also found a note on him. which we were not permitttd to see.whlch stated subsist tially, "To-night I am going lo kill myself and Lola, etc,"whlth show ed a premeditation. Mr. Saltinarsh waa ai years of ace and has been In the stove and tinware business for several vesrs.reccnlly being associated with Mr. T. U. Hopkins, lo whom he sold his Interest on account of Ihe affair. The case Is a very unfortunate one and contains some aggravating circumstances, and as well suggests severs', 'hi jgs In the ms'ler 01 marriage.

O. TKMPEKAXCaCOLUMS. r.i!!d by Albany W, 0. T, 0 One of the most remarkable utterances made at the recent slate convention of temperance people at Des Moines, Iowa, was the declaration of the out going Gov ernor Larrabre, that his experience as gov ernor of the state had made him favorable to prohibition, He said that he had form erly opposed it as iuipracllcable,but that in eighty conn lies In the state the jails had been emplled.and tliv number of persons In the state penitentiary reduced by one-half during his ad ministration, and that court and people were agreed that the cause of this was prohibition. He said that the taxes were less and the markets beltrr,and that obicrvlng $ II these things In the ad ministration of the affairs of the state li- eould not help but become a prohlbi'.lonlst. Governor Larrabee was distrusted by the temperance people when elected, lest hie known opposition to prohibition at the time ot its submission should lead to the use of his position as governor, to belittle and defeat the law. But liU conversion to prohibition while' administering a law contrary to his personal convictions, Is not less a compliment to the character of the law than t. the sincerity and candor of the convert. Union SlgnaC Chief Jansscn of the Milwaukee, Wis., police has issued rules to his force. Among these e re rules prohibiting an officer while on duty, or In uniform, from visiting a sa loon, or place where liquor is sold, or known to be kept for sale or Is given away, except when summoned therein connection with tils duty as an officer. lie must not visit placss of bad character ex cept in the discharge of business, and he must not smoke while on duty. lie must at all times refrain from using profane.ob- scene or abusive language, ami will not be allowed to use cruelty or lo strike any one in making an arrest or taking charge of an ofiendei, but must use or.ly force suf ficient to hold the offender In custody. The New York Herald has long been famous for journalistic enterprise, says the Union Signal, and we are glad to see it, In quest of truth concerning moral issues. It has been asking the opinion of eminent ministers as to the use of tSacco and lately published their replies. These devout men unanimously agree that the proper use of tobacco Is not to daze the human brain.or scent the human breath. Rev Wm R Al ger, of Boston, says : "Smoking Is a vice because It Is master of labor, time and health j Intoxicating liquors and tobacco ere the chie f enemies of the human race, therefore no clergyman can be held guilt less who does not set a personal example In opposition to both," Cannon Farrar's reply Is characteristic . "It seems to me that when man has so many natural wants, it Ja not desirable to add lo them another want, which can only be regarded as artifi cial," Dr Cuyler, Chaplain McCabe, Jo seph Cook, Ed ward Beecher.Newman Hall, Lyman Abbot, and the remarkable Dr Mc Cosh add equally strong condemnation of the tobacco habit.
