A young , man named Hewett got lost in the mountains recently and had a narrow escape from death. He and another young man were gathering stray cattle for Mr Isom, of Albany, who has n place I up the Santiam near Dutch George's- Monday, Dec. 19th, Mr Hewett went out to look for cattle, hut got lost in the middle of the day and circled around to the same spot two or three limes. He started out again and followed down the nret ravine he came to, and finally found a stream. He started up the stream, and after going about four miles. just at dusk, he saw a cabin on the other side o the stream. He waded over and found the cabin occupied by ZT Bryant and Mr Crandall, of Lebanon, who took in the unfortunate man and cared for him. Mr Hewett was almost exhausted, was chilled through, and had he missed the cabin would certainly have perished in the snow. He had wandered from the south fork to the north fork of the San tiam Advance. An i k Many Yeats, O F Canfield, s stocknun and mine r ner of Idaho, ar reved in the city last niht from Grange -Tllle, Idaho, enrontc ! California to vlsl oi father. Forty five years agy Mr Canfield a resident of Polk county when Oregon CI y was the metropolis and seat of government of the state, when there were only four or five houses In Portland and when Salem w practically out of sight and his mission here is to visit his old f r jend Hon J A Baker, witb whom he crcssed the plains In '47. He came down to the Willamette valley fcom Idaho in the Interests of the Hudson Bny Co, just after the Whitman massacre and resided in Polk Counto until fifteen years ago, when he returned to Idaho. Mr Canfield is quite partial toward the Hudson Bay Co and says its people were the most 'hos pitable and generous of soy then tn Ore gon. More aid came from Genera! Mc Laughlin, he says, than from any other source. Statesman . A Former Albany Firm.

Too High Taxes. Lane county peo ple are greanv agitated over a rrlii lax. and the grange particularly wants it lower ed to 30 mills. The court though declares 5 mills to be necessary and will let it stand. One of the speakers before the court In favor of a lower tax was Rev I D Driver. The Guard says he made quite a speech. He said that the court house was worse than a barn, while the jail was ine nnest Duttdlng in the county. Je claimed that a jail should be something of a horror to terrify criminals. He said that a man with brains after seeing the handsome jail and poor court house, with a tax of 35 mills, wouU not Invest here. He said that everything was low, and the people were unable to pay such a tax Therefore he was In favor of a 30 mill lax. Good roa Ford. It most be said to the credit of Tilmon Ford, a representa tive from Marion county, that be is making a square fight on the clerkship evil The last legislature expended $15,000 to give easy positions to relatives of members, young society ladies and gentlemen, and about fifty reporters of newspapers. Several man on the Orego nian force daring the session drew from $5 to $10 a day, besides doing the work he was paid for. Mr Ford is opposed to this looting the treasury, and telle every body so.

Lost in thr Snow. The following from the Corvallls Times reads peculiarly from a valley paper: Mr J sines Denmsn, a bricklayer of this city, mt with an ex perience in the late snow storm that he will rot speedily forget. He had been building some Sues at the farm of Mr Wants Nash seven milts distant from Nashville, ard started about 10 o'clock one morning from the latter place on his way to his home In Corvallis. He was ladell with tools, the snow wai three fsct deep, ann Ids progress was very slow. The middle of the afternoon found him trudg Ing along, about exhausted and apparent ly no nearer Sis destination. It soon dawned upon him however, that he had lost his way, and In order that better pro gress might be made he dropped his tools. He continued his weary tramp until nightfall, when from aheer exhaustion he gave up the search, and crawling under some vine maple boughs that afforded slight shelter, made himself as comforts ble as his desperate circumstances would perm't. Dawn the next morning found him VIS, benumbed and hungry, but he pushed on, and finally reached Nashville tn time to catch the train for Corvallls. Mr Denman, who, on thia occasion was without food 48 hours, haa recovered fully from the effects of his night In the snow. An Operation Performed Readers of the Times ate familiar with the cir cumstances of a frightful accident last summer, caused by an O. P. special run ning Into a hand car on which were eleven persons. In this accident Mr Late Man ning, well known in this citv, sunered a fracture of one leg below the knee, from the effects of which he has been a lame man ever since, the fractured bones hav ing persistently refused to knit togetl.er A recent letter to Mr Virgil Watters, our efficient county recorder, from l)r Hush nell, formerly of Newport, but now of an Francisco, states that on the 16th of December an operation was performed on Mr Manning that promises to affect a permanent cure. An incision was rr.ade along the fractured bones, and they were wired together in such a manner as will compel them to knit. Corvallls Times. A IjRXat tscacata. urante rasa 1a placed in a worse condition than Albany, according to the Courier: When the present townsite was laid out. Bourne the brainy projector, reserved a 100-foot trip ail around it aa a sort of wall which prevented the laying out of additions Thia "dead line" haa remained private property to this time, except where it has been pierced by streets here and there, and it has now of course become valuable, bat the city mast have outlets across tt aa extensions oi certain streets Here is where the source of future vexa tion lies, me residents ot the various additions beyond this "deed line" are obliged to go around Robin Hood's barn or John Hood's orchard or trespass on this private property this legacy of the long-headed Bourne wbo unfortunately haa not yet departed for that bourne from whence no traveler returns. It will require wise counsel and conservative council men to manage thia "dead line" in the interest of the city and at the) same time steer clear of "expensive law suite. Sbxuro Liquor to Ixdiaxs. Deputy V S Marshal Sinnott and YVLWatkios were in the city today 00 their way to Portland with three men wbo had been held by E G Irvine, of Newport, on ex amination, to await the action of Judge Deady'e court- Hoxie Bimmonde is a quarter breed living near Elk City. He would not be taken for an Indian by hardly any one. Recently be bought five pints ot whisky at Huoawkers saloon at Vaqaina City, claiming be owned a ranch near Elk City, and that be was not an Indian. He took the liquor to the Siletx where a whole crowd of backs got gloriously drank Hansaker was ar rested for sel'-in liquor to an Indiab.and Simmonds for giving liquor to Indians and for obtaining liquor under taJee pre ten see. McDougall is an old resident of Elk City, and is well oft. He was ar rested for giving liquor to an Indiao named Harris. It is said the Indians themselves resort to these tricks in order to get tne fees in connection with the proceedings.a very contemptible mode of filling ones pocket book. Ma. Hay's Cask. A Salem paper says: The state board of railroad commissioners is in receipt of a it iter from Jerry Hay, of Hanlsburg, thanking the members for thelr Sorts to brinsr about a settlement of rhls claims against the Southern Pacific for damages on account of Injuries sus talned by his son Frank, who was run over at Harrisbure. County Commis sioner Anderson, of this county, has tn formed the board that Mr Koehier's state ment to the effect that tbe Southern Pacific had satisfactorily arranged cattle guards and fences on his place, was not wholly true, and asked tbe board not to dismiss the complaint until the matter is adjusted. Old but Fresh. The Woodburn In dependent tells the following: R C Houghmsn.who lives near Mt Angel, has. seemingly, struck It rich. New Year's day he killed a turkey nd In Ita craw tound a nugget of pure gold worth at least one dollar. In the craw of two geese he got several other aad smaller pieces. In hunting around over the place he picked up small pieces of gold to the I extent of at least $10 Most o this came from the hillside, but one cr two piece t wash" gold. Lemuel Walker has gone out to prospect the place and see what there 1 there. He states that the gold shown very much resembles that found on Salmon rlyer. This I not a "fake" atory, but a matter of fact. The New Chemical Engine for Res cue Hook V Ladder Co. has arrived and I stored In the Fl'nn Block. It is reported there will be a hitch in the council over extending the limit ot membcrsntp to 75. Unles done the company, the Democrat Is Informed, will keep the engine housed. The members claim they are with thl engine a well aa the truck to manage entitled to a many member as the other companies, and will need a larger mem bership to Insure enough men to draw both to the fire. Ore Cause of Poop. Roads. We wan'. better roads and no doubt better laws ; but we also need to have the lawn we already have respected. If they were and residents of this as well as other counties did their duty, we would have a big improvemert over our present roads. A sample of the way some of the work is done came before the present County Court. In one district the list showed 103 days work due tbe district. Tbe report of the supervisor shows that only 4 days work were done in the entire district, making a delinquency of 90 days. Road supervisors are not aware that they are liable to a fine of $50 for not do ing tbe work called for, yet such is the law. Tub New Enoike. The new chemica engine of Resue H & L Co, the Mahon was tented this altenoon under supervi sion of Mr Conger, of Portland, in the presence 01 a large crowd, a sbed pre viously prepared Deing set on nre lor the occasion, xtie engine worked well ex tinguishing the flames in 15 seconds Quickly operated such an engine is a fine thing ror a city, where quick work counts. Fox The .Fun Of It. Bill Nye and O PBurbank, humorist will be In Albany if we want them. They are great men in their way, a very fuuny way though. These men make people pick their teeth with crow bar, talk to Indian cigar men, get fright ened at an old maid, etectra, anything for th humor ot the business.

Bfmorrat A FORCE KILL SENATOR The author of tbe famous force bill will 1 a member of the next United States senate. Henry Cabot Lodge was yesterdsy made tbe caucus nominee by the republican members of the Massachusetts legislature. As the party has a large majority, the nom ination ia equivalent to an election. In the caucus ninety-four votes were necessary for a choice and be received 147, which show that he was the favorite with little vigorous opposition. His opponents were such men a ex Governor ohn D Long and ex Congressman .William W Crapo, both abler and broader minded men than he. but neither had the whip over the members that Lodge held. Henry Cabot Lodge is a brilliant man in certain respects. Hi rise baa been rapid. Hi bold on hi party is largely due to his tremendous energy . boldness and partisan ship. Never did a more devoted republican occupy a seat in the lower aotue of congress. It was in tbe natural order of event;that he should be senator. He baa been the practi cal muu,a?ur of the republican party in Massachusetts for the last eight years. He i an excellent debater, a hard fighter, and a scholar and author of tome repot. But for s thia bis influence haa been pernicious. and Massachuitett has not done itself prjud by electing him to the senate. He may be on a par with su h men a Chandler. Aldrirb and Hiscock, but his influence will not extend beyond his own party - When Lodge introduced and fiercely supported the infamous force bill, he showed a lack of broad statesmanship, a sectional spirit, and an egotistical aetfish ness that merited tbe disapprobation of tbe entire country, and received it, except among the republican hero worshippers of hi own state. He is. as indicated before, an ideal republican, and therefore in that party a great man. Why? Because narrow partisanship characterise its policy, and sectional teg'slation is its joy It thinks of the few. not the many. If the ex-Governor John D Long had been nominated, tbe seat once occupied by Charles Sumner, after many years of comparative eclipse while occupied by Dawes, would have again been held by a man of whom Iris party could be proud, and whom democrat a well as republicans would respect. As it is, Henry Cabot Lodge wiil be a weak ling in the senate- How can tne author of the force bill expect favor from such men as Gorman, Faulkner and Mills?. TW- grarn. In the California legiaiature including the nonpartisan from San Francisco, tbe democrat jave 60 rotes on a joint ballot Sixty one vote are necessary to a choice. and there are no indications, as yet, where the extra vote is to come from- The eight populists with the one independent from San Diego have tbe balance of power. Stephen M White will be nominated by the democratic caneo tonight. T V Cator it tbe nominee of the people's party, awl either Charles N Felton or D M Bums will receive the republican consx4imevtary vet. Tbe iadepeasdent from San Diego hat not said bow be will vote. He was formerly a republican, bat great efforts are being made to induce him to vote far White- If he should do so, White cf course, will be eat ML In Kan a repaVican county cier . ia canvassing the vote for member of legja tarure. by mistake, (be says) tramposed tbe vote for that office, giving the number of vote cast for the dtanocrat to the republi can and that cast for the republican to the dc;Tit th'is sxaring tie vertiSc'. oi election to the republican. And now the supreme court of that state has decided that the republican was duly elected. By such means as this the republican leaders have determined to control tbe senate of tbe United States and thus prevent that legis lative relief which the people. in November by such an immense majority, declared in favor of. Rock do not grow in the sense that a plant grow. They may increase by accre tion, and they may undergo chemical change- The old sea bed being lifted up berocue sandstone and limestone; the vol canic ah and lava strewn over the plains becomes tufa, hard enough for building- stone; tbe pebbly shore of a river becomes con 7iomerate.

(from "ui regular ctrfTtwfKroosnt.i Washington, Jan 2, 1683. Speaker Crisp's visit to New York for the purpose of conferring with president elect Cleveland, which was first authori ttvely announced in this correspondence, was a success from every point of view, and while the speaker will not, of coarse, talk about what Mr Cleveland said to him, his face indicates to a certainity hit satisfac tion, and indeed, be does not hesitate to say that the conferences were entirely satis factory to bo'h participants, and that be found himself in perfect accord with Mr Cleveland's ideas about what should be done by tbe party in congress. Tbe im portance to tbe democratic party at large of this complete understanding between Speaker Crop and Mr Cleveland can hardly In ovetx-tunated. In tbe first pi ace, it removes all danger of a 'bitter fight over the speakership of the next house and consequently means that perfect bar mony will exist between those wbo will control tbe legislation of the house and the democratic preside-. t. and that mean everything for the future success of the party. Your comtpndent regrets that be cannot give as good newt of the prospects in the next senate. In the first place, tbe control of tbe senate of the next congress is still very much in doubt, with the proba bilities of ita being ia the hands of the populists, who have, through Senator Peffer, announced their intentions to put their votes where they will do the most good to themselves. Democrats here take no ctock in tbe stories which repnb'ican and mtgwump newspapers have been cir culating about tbe intentions of Senator Hill. Tbe senator himself has long ago given up the attempt to put a stop to silly stories by dignifying them with a denial, but a gentleman wbo enjoys confidential relations with him. and who is probably as well anrmaiated with his intentions as any one, except himself, said to me: "Senator Hill is first of all a democrat, and you will make no mistake by sietiting in the most positive terms thai be will do nothing in the senate that will be inco si stent with Simon pare democracy. He will support Mr Cleveland's administration a loyally a any man in tbe senate, except tn the matter of appointing mugwumps or newly converted democrats, of the Wayne MacVeigh stripe, to office. If Mr CVeve- and nominate any of these men to important cdoce I predict that Senator Hill will endentta to prevent their co irmation by the senate, but he will cast no vote sgsinst the uaifirnistina of any mat whose democracy is rmqnestioned. Be member thia prediction, and see if time does not prove it truthfulness." Here is a specimen of extravaipxnt and legislation, brought to light by hers of tbe house cwmmirtee on appro priations: In the estimates submitted for appropriations for the next fiscal year by the war iltpaiimeiil was esse item of, 1650.000 for artificial limb for soldiers. Tbe huge amount for thia purpose suggest ed an investigation which brought oat the fact that up to the Fifty-first (billion dollar) congress, soldiers entitled to artificial limbs were authorised every five year to receive uew leg or arms, or to take in i ittiinsiito tion $75 for a leg and $50 for an arm- During that conaieas without any reeotn- meswlation or request from tbe war depart ment a bill was libbied through by the claim agents ring which at that time collected about nine-tenths of the commu tation money upon a big percentage of coarse reducing the period to three years (since then a mil af the .lerrt:T.t SssSt the claim agents oat of this money). It was also discovered that the anginal law was more than liberal, as an artificial arm will under ordinary usage last a life time and that a leg !U from sit to eight years; also that 9S per cent of those entitled to artificial arm and 7$ per cent of those entitled to leg regularly take the money nstead of the limb. Further investigation showed thst if this claim agent's law had not been enacted the item wonld have been $75,000 instead of $450,000. Quits a difference, eh? This i only one instance there are hundreds of them. It will, take several years of democratic rule and vigi lant investigation to get tbe expenditure of this government down to an economical. business basis, but it is going to oe aone. The Democrat Uiievea that if tbe prop- oaitloa to amend the assessment law prohib iting deductions for indebtedness should be passed by the legislature, tbe da of people who now seem tooppote t most, the farmer, would realize the errs! est relief from it. Tbe farmer, as a class, have a much smaller amount of sham indebtedne titer, other classes, hence, while this proposed law would increase the amount ot property upon which the farmer would pay taxes, the iacrease in the case of other classes would be relatively much larger, and as the amount of total tax able property of t'le state increases the rate should decrease, the former cists would really eeap a benefit from such legislation The Coreans have to be very cautious when they smoke lest the fire from their pipes fall on their clothe, which often aie made of paper. In our own land paper collars are sometime warn, and on festive occasions we have gone so far a to wear paper hat, but the height of absurdity would seem to be retched tn the clothes line when peopl take to making their other garments ot that ma terial. A much sater remedy than the"goldcure" for iotemperaace is recommended by Dr Tuplett, a German physician. Apples, be maintain, if eaten in large quantities, possets properties which entirely do away with the craving which sll confirmed drunkards have. In many bad cases which have come under hit notice he ha been able to effect a cure by thl meant, the patient gradually losing til desire lor alcohol. Senator Carlisle is very loath to leave the Senate, but there is not much doubt the Treasury portfolio awaitt hit acceptance. On the score of honorable ambition for a man thoroughly equipped to p!xy l.'s part, there s a great opening tn the Treatury. Largely the duty in the way of devising measures to sdjutt the tat Iff, currency and silver questions will devolve on tbe Finance Secretary of the scorning Administration. Carlisle would fill the bill most admirably. A. rather amusing, but possibly practical invention, is that which encloses a railroad fwitch in an iron cage.
