Judge Levy this morning overruled the defendant's de murrer to the complaint in the suit of the Benton Consolidated Company against H N Graves, W 8 Wuods.WilliAiu M Iloag nnd others, says a &in Francisco paper. The complaint demurred to at tacks on the validity of an net of the plaintiff's stockholders in when a resolution was adopted attempting to confer upon the directors the power to sell the stock, which might be bought by the corporation at assessment gales. "This action," snys the opinion," As in valid, for the stockholders who partici pated in that action may have disappear ed from the ledger before any stock was acquired upon w hich the resolution could act." At the time of the sale complained V of about three-fourths of the stock had been bought by thecompany.and as there must have been a majority of the stock holders at the meeting which passed the resolution, it is evident that Unit major ity had passed away by the sales. The opinion holds that a Urge nnmber of stockholders were rutcontmUcd,and that this act was a clear fraud in law, bused on secret sales at inadequate sums. Death or Dominic Maxsfikld.

A Crook Co. Accident. On M0nJ.1v of this week Mrs R CJes.see, formerly Mist Nettie Curl, met with an accident that may cripple her for lifo. She with .het baby was on a load of h.iy wttit h;r hu band, and In driving Mirou' a gateway the rack caught slightly on one o( ihe side potts, which frightened the horses and tliey proceeded to run away. lkforc proc-vding far they came to an Incline In the road and the wagon wn over turned. lu some way Mrs J e see's left limb wts broken in a hor rible manner. The large bone just below the knee was broken and both bones just above the ankle joint were broken entirely off and apparently cruMied, the splinter of one protruding through the flesh, thus creating a compound comminuted fracture. Dr Belknap, who was railed, set the man gled limb and pronounces it one of the - worst fractures he has ever saw. Mr ' J esse e and the baby escaped Injury. - Re view. Puces too High. -The following from the Portland Welcome is suggestive of the way it Las been done throughout the Northwest generally : "Taking the whole real estate market from a metropolitan Kint of view centering at the city of rtland, it is apparent that the specula tive values have reached a point higher in this vicinity than is conistent with n active transfer of property. Values . are held at such high rates for suburban property as to check speculative invest ments also to deter the tendency of our tenement classes from seeking outside homes, as it is safer to pay high rei.ts than to get involved with installment ; purchases in motor liue townsites at present figures." A Noted Woman. -Mrs Duniway, than whom there is no better known woman on the Coast, whose name is widespread ; as a champion of woinens right, once a . rustling milliner and dress maker of Al bany, has Uen in the city to-diy,for the first time in many year.

Ill the spring of 's the Montelth Bro Satn'l Alihouwe, Jeremiah Dtlggs and Sam'l Hill began the erection of the Mag nolia mill. The building was completed early in a. In the faU t that year wheat sold for the modest sum of $5 and $6 per bushel. During the year '51 Rev lame P Miller, a United riesbyterlnn minister, with hi family, located In Al bany, lie wa the first resiuent minister, Dr 3 G Irvine also came that year, and preached hi lir.t sermon tn Albany tn November, tn the house that stand lust below the feny landing, then a boarding house kept by Mr Hyde. Dr Irvine wa just from New York City, and actually wore a truly ''bee gum" hat. Rev Miller's daughter, Mis ElUaheth M Miller, now the widow of one of Ore. gon' most eloquent congressmen, Jos I) Wilson, was well known by all thecsrliest settlers In Albany.

My Dear Mrs Hkowki Your request that I would try ond recatl some Incidents from the misty deep of the past, shall be fulfilled if possible. I do not promise much. You know the days when alt the aids i locomotion were found on the Cay use lit.e, and all one's trlouglng that were o be n.oved were packed in saddle bsjjs, or otherwise strapped 011 the weather side of your beast. In those djvs not many books recording one's doing were kept. It wm enough, In the day duties, to do w hat one could, and let one's work pas to be reviewed by those court, the accuracy of w hose record Is never questioned. So It happens that while I under my father organized the first Sabbath school, 1 can not lay my hrnds upon a scrnp of paper, to enable me to transcribe the roll call of that first organlxallon. The population of Albany was very small, then, and very shifting. The first regular church service wa held by my father. Rev James P Miller, In June, iSm, In the dining room of a hotel or boardinir house kept by Mr Aaron Hyde. From the time my father first began preaching service wa iirld un interruptedly, but In the spring of tSja I cannot be more definite as to dale a small building near the Calapoola, built by Mr Walter MonteUh, was occupied by me a a school bulldirg, and from that time church service and S. tt. were held there. I believe this building was afterwards owned by Mr John Smith. There have been m rr changes In these nearly forty yearn. The beautiful ridge that defined the banks of the Catapooia and of the Wallamet, the creation of those streams in the slow ages, were then studded fiark-llke, with majolic firs and an csqnls te undergrowth of vinemaplc, crimson currant, scarlet honeysucWV, splrca and clematis.

Very ombal'lv the residents id Albany. hi this year of grace, 1S9 , tUticr them selves, as well they may, that they live in a very pretty town. An! YoungsUrs! In some thing you alwav will be behind the generation that had the happy fortune to come In befote you. Not your fault I it, but our allotment, that for you the prairie I a place of plowed lands, of grain Ileitis, ! barn and cabbage patches. Good things, too, in their way; but only the eye that looked In '51 could see what an Oregon Floia could do to be deck the earth in glorious beauty, I have seen the most famous gardens of our land. public and private. 1 think I know the untmost that the skill of cxpeits can do with then., but whent vcr I try to conceive Uod's utmost thought In flowers, I shall remember the Albany prairie a 1 saw It in '51 and '51. before ever a plow had marred its loveliness, or harsher fcad'than the unshod foot of the Indian pony scarred its fair face, or the soft moccasin of It owner at he trod the ancient "oo-lhut" of hit race. This scene of Idyllic beauty wa changed by an evrnt which marked in era in the fall of 1S51, the arrival of the side wheel steamer, Multnomah, the pioneer on the upper Wallamet, between Canemah and Corvallis. The Multnomah was built in the caot, was 100 feet long, nd was put together with hoops, her planking resem bling staves, and wa therefore called a "barrel boat. She was sent U) California In sections ' and then brought to Oregon on the hrk Suecc. There not being enough fr her to d lirtwecn the sparse settlement in the valley at that time, she wa taken to the lower river on w avs, and did excellent service l brlnnln- down a larj;c portion of the heavy emigration of ihr fall of '51, from the Lower Cascades to Portland In'Ct she passed Into the hands of C'apt Dick Iloyt, and run chiefly between Portland and Astoria. I do not know Die exact date of her going to the boncyard, but I learn from steamboat men, that she was of a beautiful model, fleet for her size, and outran every boat in Oregon, making at one time the run from Vancouver to Portland In one hour and twenty minutes, 18 mite. An incident of her first trip 1 very vivid hi my memory. I wa one of a group standing on the Wa'.lamet bank, listening to the strange ound of her loud putting engine, as she made her way siowty, flhe river wa very low,) through water hitherto unvexed by anything greater than the oft gliding of the native canoe.

To understand it full effect, we must recall what fearful arrassing discouragement they had been working under since June. Anew country, thousand of mile distant from Ihe base of supplies, is a hard place In which to start new enterprise. No skilled workmen to be counted 011, everything to be eot when a it could ; not even fire wood to run the engine. The boat had to be tied to the bank while the wood w at hopped. i)r Maxwell, especially, wa a nervous, excitable man, and wa rapuuy nearing the limit of hit patience and hope when these word ot welcome met hi tur nrited eye.

Schools were mul tiplied, new industries were Introduced and all branches of business rapidly es tablished. In this sketch we cannot stop to note In detail the rapid growth of our vitiligo, but. will give a few items la the order in which they should come, as nearly as we could ascertain. We fall to secure exact (lutes in a few instances. I supposed until yesterday that Au gust C Layton was the first child Uirn in Allstny, but I find that MU Pauline HacMeman aiitdute him (i months.

It was dem ocratic in politics and was railed the "Oregon Iiemocral." A court house was built in 1M3, and occupied until lSOl, when it sm burned down. The first church was built in 137, by the Metho dist, on one of the lots now owned by Judge Flinn, w here his residence stands. I could (1ml no plcasnutcr task than following tho growth of our U-autilul city, and noting each new strido forward as year by year she took up new t nter-prix'-j sod quietly dropping her man'.Ie of primitive nucoiithncss, she gracefully assumed metropolitan airs and occupied her place among the first cities of the state, but this paper has grown too long already, so I pass on only stopping to note a few of the most prominent events and enterprises. The V P church was built In I vi! r the Congregational in 'tit. Tha present court house in 'G5, and in that year our city was Incorporated with tho following olhecrs: Mayor, Judge J C Powell, Ho corder, 1) Mansfield, Treasurer, Himon Schutell, Marshal, lobn Cleaver.

The old bond engine, with which you are all so famil iar, was liought and arrived in Albany May II, of that year, and was housed on May 27, with great ceremony. And now our dates bring us face lo face with the greatest event In the history of Albany. In ls53, Hon Ixlaxon Smith, one of Oregon's most gifted citizens, in th first 4th of July oration delivered tn Albany, luted that in 1870 the citizens of Al Istuy would see the iron horse steaming through this beautiful valley. F.ven the most sanguine of his hearers hoofed the idea. 1 hat eloquent man did not live to see the fulfillment of his prophecy, but r, no are iiere tonight, know that it w as correct to thJ very date, Ur 011 the 8th day of Ih-c 1 170,1 he shrill whistle of a 30,(W locomotive awakened the echoes of iir neighboring hills, and since that lime we are in danger of iunoriug that Kauliful structure the steamlioal. Sel dom now do we see the graceful, gliding vessels, and we consider it, in this rush ing age, a wicked wastu of timo to travel on them. Put our river our beautiful Willamette, "u inding, widening through tho valley" still remains; a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Its Iwnks bordered with evergreens, its graceful curves and limpid waters are dear to the heart of every A banian, and we softly echo tho exquisite tribute of ono of Or egon's own sons' to our beautiful Wil lamette, "Onward ever lovely river, softly calling 10 me sea. Time that scars us, maims and mars us, leaves no track or trench on thee." And so year by year our city baa en larged her proportions, and now we have on tho one hand llackieman's 1st, znu and 3rd, additions; on the other, Mas- ton & Chamberlain's, and in another di rection, Millard's, FJkins', Twcedale's, Houck's, and who but a real estate man can tell how many more, our ponuia tion has increased until we are a thorn I .1 . . !., ; in uie uesu 10 our neiunoorinir cuics : and Albany still remains the "Gem" of the valley, wild possibly 01 the state, in many respects.

For many years Albany has been known as the most hospitable ami moral town in the valley, and while this has been true of the mint I can but tremble for the future. O, that Homo power would awaken the minds of our citizens to the rapid in crease of vice in many forms. Slowly, but steadily, some evils hither to almost unknown are multiplying, and soon they will haye gained tueh a firm foothold that it will requiro herculean efforts to dislodge them, when now, the honest, righteous indignation of our prominent citizens, forcibly expressed. would sweep them from our midst, and enable us to still retain our reputation lor Dunty, morality una Christian integrity.- May God. help each and every one to see and do our w hole duty in all that pertains to the upbuilding of our be loved city.
