Wht catorrat. LOCAL RECORD. Rkckiv'kr for Stavkr & Walker. Considerable of a breeze was created In commercial citcles of ihe city on Thurs day over the announcement that the well known agricultural Implement firm of Staver & Walker had made an assignment. The report proved true but the assign ment was so quietly made many will first become aware of the financial difficulties of the firm on reading the Welcome. The firm cf Staver & Wa'ker U not in tusiness now, having been merged into another concern, but Its affairs under the old man agement have not been wound up and owing to the slow payment of a large amount of money due from all over the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, it was compelled to temporarily go to the wall. The J I Case company, one of the principal creditors, made the application for the appointment of a receiver, before Judge Stearns of department No 3, and 1) P Thompson was appointed to serve in such capacitv with bonds fixed at $50,000. The liabilities of the firm are stated to be about $250,000 while the assets will foot up in the neighborhood of $400,000 when alf collected. The assets are mainly in the shape of farmers notes given for ma chinery bought and collections this season have proved to be unusually poor. The embarassmenl of the firm cannot be called a failure as It can pay all it owes, dollar for dollar, in time, , but if the claims against it should be forced on the market they would not be collectible at once on account of the failure of those owing the firm to meet their obligations. Welcome liousDs Well. The following from the Gazette sounds well ; but before cor rect O. P. items are given it will be neces sary for Mr Job to pay for the road. This will ptobably be done; but let it be done before random talk, of which there I. as been too much. Then we will know business Is meant: Last Tuesday a con struction train was sent to the front on the Oregon Pacific road, carrying a gang of about forty Chinamen and their white bosses. They are to be employed in ballasting the roadway from Halstead clear to the end of the track, and placing the track In order, preparing the way for 'he commencement of construction on the eastern extension. For sometime past, a number of the engineers formerly employed by the company have been dropping ir.to the city one by one until there are now several of them here and, although no official announcement of in tention has yet been made, yet the appear ances at present (oint strongly in the direction of an early resumption of work, and it would r;ot be' at all improbable that before the lapse of many weeks, work on the eastern extension of the Oregon Pa cific -rill have become an assured fact. David Bond Arrested. Last March Ernest Hayes and David Bond were in dicted on the charge of larceny, of five gallons of whisky and other things from Caster's drug store at Halsey. Hayes was tried and acquitted. Bond had disappeared and in fact was In Eastern Oregon. He recently returned to the valley, Saturday afternoon Sheriff Jackson was serving papers near Clark's mill in the foot hills, hitn well, arrested him and broueht him i m Aik.n. ro.hin-hr .hnutio o'clock As he was alone with him, and. having to get cut to open several gate he very sensibly did what Kelley ought to have done with Wilson, and every other sheriff ought to do with a prisoner in uncertain cases, bound his feet together, with a hal ter. Bond is in the county jail and may possibly be bailed, a brother being here to .attend to the matter. Fob Better Roads. The farmers almold stand in with the bicyclists, for the roads are for both, the bicycle being just aa much a vehicle as the wagon. The great hope for good roads lies in the united effort of the live, enterprising bicyclists of the United States. Legisla tion in the interest of good roads re- ceived a great impetus Monday in con- i greea- At the hearing neiore toe seuaue committee on interstate commerce. Col onel Bardett, president of tbe League of American Wheelmen, and Messrs Sheri dan and Gerald, of Illinois, and other bicycle leaders, made addresses in favor of a national highway commission bill. General Ray Stone, of New York, author of the bill, explained its features and urges the adoption of the simplified bill today introdnced by Congressman Post, of Illinois. A COl'NTEEITKR Arbestcd. Last December Frank Coon wat iacicted at Ihe Dalles far uttering counterfeit coin. Coon's whereabouts were not known for several months until recently hen It was learned that he was working on the Ore gonian railroad in this countv . A war rant was sent to Sheriff Jackson, when the sheriff and Deputy I) S Smith went to Lawson, where they found and arrested Ooon, among nearly two hundred other men. Deputy Sheriff Firman, of The rtellM arrived in Albany last nigrht and took Coon to The Dalles today. Thk State FLOwaa. The following is a description of the new slate flower, the wild grape, which we give for the benefit of our many readers who know little about it: "There are two species, ber beris aquifolium and B nervosa- The flower is very small and grows in dense clusters. The berry, the distinguishing feature of the plant, is a waxy globnle about the size and shape of a goosberry, and generally of a dull blue color. The foliage, however, is very graceful, as sumes very brilliant colors, varying in intensity at different periods of the year, and can be used for decorative purposes with finest effect." Sudden Dath at Eugene. This morning Mr F B Dunn, one of Eugene City's moat proiilnent and highly le spectrd citizens, an old resident there, waa leading a cow when the animal gave a sudden jerk, considerably straining Mr Dunn's body and causing a severe pain. He went Into the house, and a moment afterwards threw up his hands and fell to the floor dead. The deceased had many Mends through the valley who will unite in sympathy with his afflicted family over their great loss. Probate MATraas. In estate ofMJ Bnrkhart, first account was filed and approved. In matter of petition for leave to sell real proper ty a citation was ordered issued to Clarence Borkhart for a hearing on August 1st. In estate of J F Colbert a $0000 bond was filed. In estate of Sarah Ann Moss.tnventory was filed; real property, M60; ptrgonal, $400. In estate of F M Malone, first acount was filed. Postmaster for 27 Years. Cathla roet Is keeping up with the procession, as the postofficc there has made a money order office and has been moved into new quarters, fitted up with new boxes, etc. They haven't any new postmaster, as Alexander Birnie. who was appointed to the office tj years ago, has remained in office over since. Changes of administra tion do not appear to produce the uaual changes in Cathlamet. Salem Journal. A Factory Accident. This after noon Clyde Cre s running a shoddy machine at the Pacific mattre wire works, when he caught hit left hand in the machinery. It wat drawrti in and the flesh cut and bruised in a very serious manner, but fortunately no bones were broken, The hand will be useless for a long time and will probably be crippled. As Insane Man. This forenoon Mr Antone Flesser, a weaver in the woolen mills,. in the absence of Judge Duncan, wat examined before Justice LM Curl, and Drs Maston and Wallace and de clared insane. His trouble seemed to be an hereditary one. Marshal Hoffman took Flesser to the asylum this noon. Nuisances. A big thing for the shoe business of Albany are the nails sticking np in the sidewalks. A young lady dis played a nearly ruined shoe to a Demo crat man as tbe result of one of the nuisances. A company of women with hammers in their hands will appear some day and cause the nails to drop their heads- Base Ball. The A 1 ban iea were de feated Saturday by the Scios 16 to II. The new Albany amateur club was de feated in its first two games, Saturday by the college club 20 to 9, and Sunday by the young Willamettes, 15 to 9. A Neighbor's Growl. There Isecon omy and parsimony. The people of Mil City are much in naed of a bridge, but so far Linn county court has not seen fit to encourage. It is believed Marlon county stands ready to bear her share In this as in other needed Improvements, while Linn conrervatism stands back and brags how cheaply that county is governed. No state or county or city ever lost money by encouraging proper and needed public improvements and there is no virtue in laying back in the traces. vVe shall hope to hear that the thriving and growing Mill City gets a bridge before the year is past. Salem Journal. The mattet of a bridge at the place mentioned is not before the County Court now, no petition being in lis hands. In the matter of bridges, though, no county in Oregon, even Marion, is more public spirited than Ltnn county. This county when it spends money, does it judiciously, Marion county injudiciously and extrav agantly. Linn county should help build a bridge at Mill City and no doubt will. One is needed. It has already assisted in building one bi idee near there, and will in building more. An Astoria Suit. Geo W Raymond, of Astoria, has sued Capt Geo Flavel for the recovery of 300 acres of Tansy Point property, claiming the right to It under a deed "made S3 years ago. The com plaint alleges that on December 7, 1859, William Raymond borrowed of John Adair the sum of $200 with which to redeem said property from a sheriff's sale under an execution issued against him. As security Raymond executed to Adair a warranty deed, but which after a lapse of thirty-three years plaintiff alleges "was only a deed of trust as security for the repayment of said lean, which deed was duly recorded. " It is further alleged that W W Raymond did not deliver to John Adair the possession of the prem ises, and that Adair made no claim of title under the deed. In the year 1862, Raymond, plaintiff, claims that he 1 aid off the loan, "but inconsequence of mu tual dealings and mutual confidedce no reconveyance of the legal title was made hv Adair nrior to Nnvumhcr 20. 1873." and that the indebtedness between Ray mond and Adair has now been folly paid and settled. Reminiscent. The Elk City cor re s- nnnnt r,f h. Tlmc r.llc th fnllrwln, i "The first oruan that was ever brought to ! The first organ that was ever brought to the toy was brought In from Corvallis over the Indian trail before the wagon road was built, on the back of Mr Alfred Cloak, a sturdy Englishman. Mr C was a hne musician and a great lover ot music and, as he wa coming to this wlldern-ss. thought he would need music to cheer his lonelv hour. nd break the monotony. i The Indians then oecuoied the countrr. ane the old saying, 'music has chums 10 j soothe the savage breast" proved true in tnls case, for as the soft, melodious music fell on the ears of the dusky maidens and savage warders, as they hovered around the lonely cabin on the banks of the beau tiful Yaquima river, their savage feelings were calmed into submission and obedi ence. Tue Slayer or Geo Williams. The Portland Telegram saya : On the7th of last April Geo Williams, son of Hon Richard Williams, of this city, waa shot I and killed at Sherwood, during a quarrel by Alva Fields. For several dajas past i Fields has been on trial at Hillaboro, ! and aa its conclusion the jury returned a verdict of acquittal on the grounds of in self defense The trouble occurred the saloon of Sam Hess, during which Williams drew a pistol. It seems the pistol waa not loaded, but Fields claims he did not know that fact. Deeming his life in great danger Fields drew his re volver and shot Williams dead. Dri go Arrested. Seveial weeks ago the Democrat mentioned :hetrip of 1 R Scrafford to San Francisco after Wm Drugg for burning the Inroan mill. Drugg had been arrested, but was set free the day before Scrafford reached San Francisco. The following is a San Fran cisco dispatch under recent date: "Wil liam P Drugg was arrested here yesterday j ana dookco en route to t-orvauis,tjregun , where he it wanted for arson. He is accused of having set fire to the Iaman i s mill property in Benton county, Oregon, managed bv his biother-in-law, on Feb. 7. 89'-' PaorESsioMAL Tkathkrs. The fact that teaching in the public schools is rapidly rising to the dignity of a profess sion, if it has not already reached that position, is shown by the large number of students wbo are seeking professional training in onr State Normal schools. The attendance at Monmouth last year, the largest perhaps in the Northwest, waa made np of representatives from al most every county in tbe state, besides a good aggregate representation from Washington, Idaho, British Colombia and Alaska.

Speaking of the .iew chief of the fire department the Telegram sayt: "A J Coffee, the newly appointed chkf engineer of the fire department, never belonged to a tire com pany In his life." The Mercury saya alto: "The appoint ment of Capt A J Coffee t the position of chief of the fiie department meets with general approval. Jack, as he Is familiarly called, has been connected with the fire department for the past nine years.'' Shootino Accident. While Messrs Tannensee, Wm Obenaner, of Albany, and Carl Wiedeman were out shooting yesterday a glancing shot from a load tired by wiedeman at some game, struck Mr Tannensee, who was some distance from the others, in the corner of the right eye.

The following in reference to Building & Loan Associations s taken from its issue dated July 21st, 18ML and is directly to the point, in fact about the best we have seen on the subject : The man who is always going to save money, but never saves any, is well known to evei v one. Generally there has been no good reason why he should not have saved money except that he has merely been "going to save it." Perhaps he has started a savings bank book, but has had some need of money, and has drawn out his account. "If this "going to save" person had invested even a very small monthly share of hie earnings in one of those excellent institutions, Loan and Building Associa tions, or Cooperative Banks as they are callea in some states, he would have been compelled to make his regular invest ment, or undergo a small fine each month, and would have had in addition the strong motive of possessing an actual share in a profitable business. These associations offer great advan tages either to those who wish to own a home or to invest their money. They aie so safe that it is said that only one has failed in the more than sixty years thai they have been in oper i ation in the United States. Thev enable the man who wishes to build to borrow money, when, perhaps, but for such an association he could not borrow at all, and to an amount nearer to the value of his property than he can get in any other way. If he is an investor, he hug an assur ance tii t his monev is earn inn larser profits lhan it would earn in an ordinary i sayings bank, owing to economy and the . Mre than on-r-aixth ! U,e rl e8,tt" ln ,h? cttT of Philadelphia is owned by members of these cooperative banks. ! This fact is a good demonstration of the value to the people of the principle of ; cooperation in saving money and buying homes. THE HOBAL CONCERT.
