A Cim. Albany has the material for
a gsod base ball club, one that could
easily knock out anything in Salem. An
expert curve thrower and a reliable
catcher is the foundation here for a good
nine. As base ball is getting a black eye
in, the cast we should give it a white one
in Oregon. No national gamo can take
its place, and it is only because it has be
come purely professional that tho public
IS HICKing.
Activity in Dikt. Tho activity in dirt
through Eastern Oregon is just simply
immense. No such boom was ever tofore
known in the northwest. At The Dalies
the air was full of it, and even trains
were stooped. At Baker City and 1m
Grande the activity waa such as to make
breathing a task. It was thigh, as high
as tho wind would carry it. Town lots
flew about promiscuously, and vet there
was no blizzard, only an jiastern Oregon
ana-storm.

that last year tho price of wool at the

. Albany, May 31st 1890.
For reasons that convince me I desire to
say that I feel it my duty to support the
entire county democratic ticket.
Bal O'FellowbJ
Lost. Somewhere in Albany, a couple
of fountain pens. Leave at the Demo
crat office. . .
An Ordinance Violated. Considera
ble complaint is made to the Democrat
in reference to the manner In whlel
cows aro staked out all over the city, the
mode in many cases being directly con'
trarv to the provision of Ordinance 188,
Unless tho practice I stoptied,the special
police will no doubt take it in hand and
till the pound. Cow can ho staked out;
but the owner must llrst obtain the per
mission of tho private premises and then
the animal must, to securely fastened
with a rope and herded In such a manner
as to prevent them from getting upon or
feeding from the sidewalks. The ordi
nance i 0cnly violated in this respect,
cows lieing tied to sidewalks promiscu
ously, resulting In the walks lsing torn
up and in many cases making it almost
tmttosstbio lor peuesinan to tins, i ne
ordinance will to enforced;and cow own
ers had totter look out A little about the
location of tho cow stakes.
An Indkckndent'b Lirx. Some of the
republicans want to know how much
this paper received for its support of our
ticket, says the PUvton Sun. Not a
nickel ; nut a fourth of them are subscrl
tors even. We support them believing
it to Wo for the public good. There are
muiio republicans who are so depraved
that If their men are not supported by a
jiajH'r, tho pajKT must necessarily be
bought by tho opiiosition. This pa'wr
has not toen totight but it has lost
about 10 per mouth republican support
iu town Wause, of our Independent
stand, showing quite conclusively that
several republicans in so small a town as
this are ready to procrito those who do
not think their way. Our subscription
list I growing larger htwever, by tho
addition of farmer's nalnes, however.

Statesman,
Gkttinu Poetical. Protobly tho most
bitter county seat fight in the history of
Oregon is that in Polk county. Now they
have gotten down to using poetry In the

The Evening Pott charges that Matthew
S. Cluay, United Slates senator from Penn
sylvania, s'ole $260,000 from the stste

One Boy. The general opinion is that
boys are not good for anything but te
wear out their father's old clothes. There
seems to be an exception over in Dallas
"Joe Stanley is a boy worth having
Last week his mother was away from
home for several day, so Joe tried his
hand At making pies, and the outcome
was something nice, lie took some to
his teacher and his sweetheart at school
Joe is as longheaded as a mule and knows
the girls are most apt to tail in love witn
a boy who can do things around the
house."
An Unused Rack Track. Albany has
one of the best race tracks in Oregon,
and yet it remains idle, evcept lor train

county should make arrangements to
have it utilized. A meeting of trotters
here would draw a big crowd, and if con
ducted on the square would advance the
interests of horsemen through the
county. ,

The Chicago Tribune, a Republican news
paper in good standing, estimate that the
McKinley Bill will save the people 170,000,000
ea sugar and lobacco,and will increase the n

it tbow with sufficient clearness what expen
sive luxuries are the McKinley Bill and the
pny which is trying to make il the law. Tin
addition of f 167,1 50,000 lo the annual cost of
