Newspaper Page Textlit iUciiwrrat. FRIDAY DECEMBER 25, 1801 LOOAL UECOItl. Tub Oaaoon Woudsr. Thla horse, born and raised near Albany, ia becoai inu famous. Tha following appeara in the scientific American. The picture referred to mar be teen a1 the Dkmocrat office : We publish an illustration of horse that has recently attracted much attention for the extraordinary develop ment 01 me nair oi ius mane, lore lock and tail. The animal ia very handsome. ii is a stainon ot rencn or ivrvneron Printer and Clydesdale blood. He ia 10 hands in height, weitiha 1.433 pounds. ana is ot chestnut color. llie mane an tail are oi the same hee. ilo is now eight years old and was foaled in Marion Co., Oregon. The mano ia fourteen feet, the foretop nine tent, an J the tail twelve feet long. When spread and drawn out to their full extent, the display ot the beautiful locks ot bright hair ia quite impressive, l lie greatest care Is taken ot the hair. It ia washed out with cold water, no tonica being applied to it. lie fore the horse ia placed in his stall the hair is drawn out and divided into sev eral thick strands. From his mane four such strands are made Each strand Is then tied around once every six incites about to the end. It is then rolled up and put into a bag. For his mane and foretop alone five baes are reuuired. He ia exercised in the same guise, a blanket or sneei, 11 necessary, ixMiig inrown over nim to conceal the pemiant bags. The greatest care is taken of his health. He ia exercised every day, either in a ring or out of doors under the saddle. The owners will not permit him to be taken into the upper floor of any building for fear of soma accident. Huring the last two years his mane and tail have grown about two feet. A Rcnawat Hot. There seems to lie aerate among Willamette Valley boy a lately to run away, nutneroua cases hav ing been reported oi youngsters with big visions starting out to ?W their tor tunes. Albanv had such a case yester day. Harry tllook, a thirteen year old boy .took the noon train for the norh for fields green and pastures new. His father learned ot the affair and tele graphed to Salem, where the boy was stopped and returned to Albany on the V o'clock local . The Salem Statesman speaks of the esse aa folkswa. Hia reason for leaving home was a poor one. His parents are nice people, and it is probable Harry got no more of a whipping than most boys get and deserve every few weeks. One of the passengers on afternoon train yesterday was a little 13-year old boy who ran away from his lmnie in AUmny. Itefore the boy's arrival Marshal A! into had received a telegram from his father, aeking the marshal to hold the runaway until evening and then to semi him back. The txv was a bright little fellow, and presented a better appearance than tne usual fugitive small ty. lie gave his name aa Harry l'ollock, and said his father abused him and that be was going to Portland. When asked what be could do there, he said he had worked in a grorery store and expected to get work of the same kind in Portland. Harry and his little bundle of clothing, done up in a shawl strap, were put in charge of the baggage master ot the train last night and sent home. Stood ow Ends There were few crafts that got caught out In the terrific storm at tea a week ago last SjnJajr that got thinugh without serious damage. Many were lot entirely. The steamer Truckee. from Tillamook bay, with a load of lumber irom the Iruckee mill just below Bay City, weathered that storm without dam age, except the breaking of lights, etc. She had on nearly 400,000 feet of lumber. She headed square againat the storm, and, instead of making headway, her cap tain found when the fury ot the storm ae over that she had been carried back about sixty-two miles. She carried seven pas senger, besides her crew of sixteen, and some of '.hem would not go through thst experience of twenty-six hours again for the whole etate of Oregon. Half the time It looked like the vcesel was being tipped over backwards. The waves were like mountains, and the aea was . laehed into one gigantic mm of foe-n. 1 he Truckee Is a mighty staunch ship, or she would have shared the fate of so many others In such a storm even the whalebsck being disabled la It. It was the worst storm on the Pacific coait for thirteen years Ex. Tux Waste Basket. An editor once said that if newspapers should one day print the contents of their wate-bakets there would be a riot. There would cer tainly be truuble In many homes, arrests in many directions, tho'guns In some plsces, trouble all around. But the sub scriber never sees the wsnte basket. Some day the Democrat may conclude to make a live paper by saving up the cream of several waste-baskets, at well as private instructions and give itr otce a live column; Ax Astoria Cask The DM (ioUhall trial in Astoria, of interest to Albany be cause Mrs Got eh all was a resident of Albany, at one time, being married here rov. 13, 189, attracted great attention there, a local paper taking on three or four columns to it.

He said today; The Influence and tremendous power of the press as an advertising medium is making itself felt more and more every day Ir. both theatrl cal and business circles.

Biindav nfaht last, between the hours ot 1 aud i o'clock, one ot these camps, where there were five Chinamen sleeping soundly in a tent, was attacked by two men with riflea.

They also per ceived a burning fuse, and with saepic- ion at once aroused ran to the spot. They found two bag each containing about kur pounds ot giant powder, which had been enclosed by pieces of overall. They then got out ot the vicin ity, but returned on the following day.

A third ward man has a fine lot, containing a big crop of grass, which he was saving for his own cow. Some neighbor, it was learned, from appearances, was in the habit of staking out a cow on the lot after dark and taking ber away before day light. Last night the owner of the lot watched operations and going to the place found tne cow peacefully grazing the coveted grass- She w as taken to the roan's barn where she lias since been stabled, will the owner call (or her and admit his guilt, that is the question. P. B.-We learn this afternoon that the owner of the cow appeared and claimed his property, laying it to a boy. The owner of the lot simply got the morning's milk tor pasturage. The Profkr Way. Tho assessment roll of Lane county contains a complete description of every piece of property assessed. The Yamhill roll does the same thing. These rolls are virtually abstracts of the real estate in their re spective counties. It ia a great expense to compile them and aa many assessors read the law such abstracts are not re quired in giving the description ot the property assessed. These descriptions are copied from the ''present ownership" lists. 01 which the Marlon county court will soon have one tor Marion county. A deed could be made from the Lane or Yamhill rolle. Statesman. Game Law Violated. This noon a Democrat man noticed at the depot a fine lowing doe. being shinned to Barnes. of Portland. It had from appearances been killed with young. Our rttne lawa should be enforced, and the person who slars doe after the close season, particu larly when they are in the condition this one waa in, should be prosecuted to the miiest extent of the law. Our gun clubs should unite in protecting the game of tins country in close seasons. A Relic There Is some talk of getting up a subscription to buy a new clock ior the W U T company.
