Tub Tti.KtiRAM on tiik O. l The two pie along the line, completed and pros pective, of the Oregon Pacific railroad are hope tut that the troubles of that road about which eo much line been aai.! lately, will result finally--in the road be- ing noi only operated in a better manner than heretofore, but pushed, forward to an hasiern connection. Colonel llowr. who haa tcen at the head of the enter prim1, and who haa Wen severely cen sured lor not paying his employed, has after all done a great work, in the fare of much and powerful opposition. He does not seem to have been commered, nor even openly diacouragetl, by the difficul ties that have surrounded him, and the Albany and Corvallis papers, while not excusing the delay in making payments to the men, are hopeful that Hogg and ma associates win secure such control of the road as will enable them to push it through to completion. TiuHURLK.Hd Timbsk Claim. Rather novel and interesting land matters have lieen gleaned from the county clerk's office. One is that a settler is not com pelled to have tree in order to prove up on a timber culture. Jesse Ierrick of Athena made commuted timber culture proof before the county clerk on a piece of land north of that city, where it secn-s as hard to grow trees its to cultivate hair on a bald head. Mr Ierrick and bis wit nesses testified frankly that there was not a living tree on the land, but that he had complied four years with the timber culture law by attempting to grow trees. His proof was accepted and lie has re ceived his duplicate. John J Jonnson, who has lees tLan 100 trees, was totally acceetiful in making proof on bin timber culture north of Athena. K. O.

Stock Inspector Dobson has returned from the Tridge creek country where he lias been inspecting the different bands of aheep on that range. Mr lobeon saw about 5,000 head of sheep and found ' them all in a good, liealthy condition with the exception of three bands which were inserted with the scab. Review. AaarsTEn: W J Turnlde, living In the forks of the Santiam, wa arretted and tried before Juttl;e Humphrey on acharge of obtaining money under false pretense. The facts seem to be that Geo Bradley was the owner of a county warrant In the clerks office. Soma time since desiring to FRIDAY... leave tne county ne gave the warrant to his mother and authorized her to draw It. Mr Turnldge was coming to Albany and ' Mrs Bradley requested him to draw the warrant, which he did getting the money on It. lie paid the money over to Mrs Dradley, exceot a few dollars which she owed him. Bradley had him arrested as stated above, lie was discharged b the j ustice. A mono tii Boys. An Interesting thing In connection with the Synod of the U P church held In Albany last week was the fact that of the fourteen mlnUt;rs present, ten of them were old students of I)r B'ark, also present, but not a mem her of the Svnod, having retired from active work. The Dr. felt as It he was arrong "the boys" again, by whom even now he Is universally loved and venerated, and they would stand by him now as they did In their college days.

The Linn County Agricultural Society held a meeting Saturday evenlr.g at the office of Curran & Monteith, with the President, A Hack leman In the chair, ar.d directors, Jason Wheeler, G F Simpson, J A Crawford, 1' W 8pink, Geo W Cline and I Beam pre ent. An Important step was taken In the motion to enclose the grounds with a seven foot fence, to place the track in good rac Ing condition and to build stahles contain. pg twenty stalls, the same to be done this fall or winter. A county fair will pro bably be held next year and the formation -of a trotting circle Is quite probable. Street ci lines should be built at once to the grounds, and there would be no ques tion a to the success of the move. What Pats. The outside world al ways knows more about the inside work ' ings of institutions than the proprietors themselves. The following from the Walla Walla Statesman will be of inter est, particularity the part about creamery stock, which Albany has freqaently Kimiij eomewnai: mere is impression abroad that the Walla Walla Gas A Elec tric Light Co pay enormous dividends. but such is not the fact. There ac,e just 400 out of 2300 shares held In thi-hv and on every nliare there is onlv 25 cents per month dividend paid. There would be just the same kick if the creamery stock paid, but as it is worthless and a failure nothing is said. Albany's Prospects were never bright er than today. Now It has a permanent color to It, The new residences built this year are of a high order, built for the fu tuie, and all desirable property U rented. There are as few vacant houses a at any time for year. The Oregon Pacific Is putting itself into shape and there Is a con fident feeling, based on good grounds, that next year will see the road go ahead.

Poison in No article entering so generally into the food of every household is so generally and villainously adultered as bak ing powder. These adulterated powders are shoved upon4 the public with the greatest persistency. Throbbing advertisements in newspapers claiming this brand or that is absolutely pure, backed by analyses and cer tificates, and yet they are adulterated with ammonia or alum'. It is to be hoped tho law will take hold of these merciless manufacturers and punish them for destroying the stomachs of the unsuspecting consumer. Amid aft this fraud and deceit Dr. Price's Cream Bak ing Powder stands- almost alone battling for pure food and continues to furnish a pure cream of tartar powder at almost the same cost to the people as the ammoina and alum pow ders are sold at, yet it costs much more to manufacture. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. 13 of the highest strength. . It produces the largest amount of leavening power attainable in a pure baking powder.
