"Regarding the income tax there is one thing about corporations making returns, which ap pears not to be generally understood. While individuals, whose gross income does not exceed $3,500 are not required to make returns.covporations must make returns, no matter how small their in come is. Corporations which fail to make such returns, although they may have no income, are liable to be put to a great deal of trouble. This will probab ly result in there beiug less corporations. In order to limit their responsibility firms often incorporate. Und r this la w it looks as if even the Jiodaville Concert Band wilt have to make a return of its income. A Eicn Assay. S. C. Smith, of Blue River, has received a letter from Geo. A. Dyson, of Brownsville, w ho is interested in the Blue River mines, giving the re turns from an sasay of ore taken from the McCaulev mine in that district. The letter states that the assav showed f 172.5HJ of gold and 2 ounces of silver to the ton. Mr. Smith states that a number of par ties interested in mines have written him regarding the prospects fcr beginning work, there, and h looks for a lively time there this season. Parties at Browns ville and Oregon City will commence work as soon as the snow disappears ufficiently. Register. Suit Fob Divoiick. Mrs. Jennie V. Gaff yesterday filed suit against Dr. .V. Gaff, in the state circuit court, charging cruel and inhuman treatment on the part of the doctor to swh extent aa to make her life burdensome. This is the usual form of complaint in a case like that of Mr. Gaff. Tbey were married , in the year 1SSS, at Shedd, Linn county. Oregon. There are no children as tbe issue of the marriage. Mrs. Gaff asks for one-third of her hus band's property, which, under the laws of this state she is entitled to receive. The doctor is said to be the owner of several lots, variously situated. Ortgonian. New Bocxdam Lises.. Under the new city charter now in the hand of the legis lature, all property inside of the toad run nine from the river north to Wm. Tea cock's residence, thence east to the school house road, and thence south to the old ferry landing, but not including the roads, will be a part of the city of Albany, and hereafter on such property Mr Such will pay Albany taxes. Card of Thank. The undersigned I desires to return thanks for the manv acts of kindness and svmpathv during the illness and after the death of his N- loved wife. Ed. K. Hrsros. The Gaff Case. The sensation attendant open the firs report of the elopement of Miss Maggie Smith and Dr. John V. Gaff, of Albina, has subsided, particularly as the affair turns out not to have carried with it so great It degree of enormity a3 was sup posed at tne nrst Diusn. .miss Mintii s own statement to the cnect that the doctors's treatment of her while they where absent from the city was purely and simply cf a platonic nature, has had the tendency to ease the minds of his friends, and divest him ot tbe odium or iginally attached to his conduct, which, however, to say the least, was very ill advised. The farther fact, which is pleasant for the trirl's sake, is that when- ever the (Hoping couple halted while on tneir night trom this cut ,they invariably p&ssea as orouser ana sister, anu occup ied separate apartments. This certainly trees a gre&t way to establish the puritv of Miss Smith's character, and also exon erate the doctor from such charges as adultery Xr seduction. borne prominent lawyers tclav ex pressed the conviction that Dr. Gaff can not be held on the charge of kidnaping nnder the provisions of the statutes. He did not forcibly seize or inveigle Miss smith: nor did be confine or imprison her against her will ; nor did he forcibly and secretly take her out of the state, which offenses constitute the crime of kidnapping. A gentleman who claims to he tamuiar with the case, said today tliat if it were necessary Dr. G ff might be able to prove that it was not he that was infatuated with the girl, but that he merely . acted in the interest of another, with whom Miss Smith was in love.

The Scio Press sensibly says: "Linn county is not a uad county, after all, to live in, with taxes at 14 mills. If you will only think of taxes ranging from 20 to 30 mills in other counties, he is apt to feel oeucr satisned with old Linn's manage ment." A couple BrounHvilh' men in the city good naturedly remarked that Linn was a pretty good county after all. The citizens of tliat city as much as they wuiueu uiviuion irom a local standpoint are taking the matter philosophically ana nave no ill teeungs towards those wiio opposea it ana stood by Old Linn, as good a county aa there is in Oregon.

" Tho Democrat recently published an extract from a Nebraska paper printed on wall paper. The editor and a friend remitted a contribution to tho hurd-up Nebraska editor, and today received a private letter acknowledging the same and the following for publication : rerhaps a few lines from Nebraska may lie of interest to you and vour read ers, 1 will give you the news of this drought stricken part of the U. S. but pen can hardly picture it. For the last two years there has only leen raised a half crop, while last year it was a total failure, thereby reducing these neonle to the verge of starvation, and if it had not been for the hem of fnenda abroad it surely would have come to pass. It is estimated out of 21,000 inhabitants then 1ms lnvtt 12,000 left this county alone. There was no grass to make hay with, and the animals have to rustle for them selves, of course there was some storm tood put up but that consisted of hay 2 years old and dead, some corn fodder about 2 foot high, everything was gath ered that would nrove a substitute. Fuel. this being a prairie state, and the timlx-r along the rivers having been cut off and young timber burnt off or killed ami no money to buy coal, it w hard to keep from freexing burning "buffalo chips' Now mind vou, every body is not like this, hot say 940 of the settle are, ; Aid is coming in Very slowly now. " fdr the reason that tho railroads w ill hanl no more free. The train from Georgia is side-tracked together with some 00 r 1 0 cars and the K. K s. will not move a wheel, for this reason: The legislature now in session appropriated .)0.000 for relief, heretofore tho companies have carried everything free but now as there is money they want pay for work thev do. The railroads have been very kind. This letter don't let vou into tho secret of the afflicted, while 1 am writing this there is a bhuard m force, with wind m strong that it has Mowed the wires down, no trains are running, ami people thinly clad, not enough to eat or burn. some burning their furniture, it m as 1 said before horrible, now this ia honest. Money anl landlords keep the true state of affairs lack because it is to their in terest, so the half is never told. Again thanking you and the old brother, 1 re main fraternally yonrs. i adopted this plan ot getting aid, lor I was terribly hard up. I have a big amount due me on subscription, some two years but mostly one year subs., which 1 will get this fall if there is any crop to speak of.

Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, has intro duced a bill for an amendment to the con stitution providing for the election of sen' ators by a direct vote of the people. The bill has been defeated. Any effort to change the location of the county seat of Linn county will be a waste ot time, it put to a vote not a fourth of the people of the county wcu!d vote for any Kind ot a change.

Tl , 1 .1 . r . .. i iuc uiiiiT tiay i wo laouina i;ay men were rtishing to Salem to secure a me morial asking the war department to issue an order preventing the construe' Hon of a groin into the channel at the bay, with the innunendo that it was be ing done to kill the Bav. Ko it looked. Tho Dkmocbat desiring to give loth shies of the matter, which the public is always entitled to, hag secured the fol lowing version of the reasons for con structing the groin from a source we are not privileged to divulge: Nkwpobt, Feb. 14, ll'. 1st. As to the groin now bcini? built out from tho south jetty, at a oint near what is now and always has U-en shoal water, and over a stretch of sand that no vessel up to date has willingly crossed or gone near, I w ill state that it is not being milt for the purpose of killint? Yamuna Bay. After constant study, cxtendincr over a period of nearly two years, the oinifrs in ciiarge oi tins work leeided to build this groin for the wir- ose of remedying a defect in the chan nel that had always existed here, and which during the last two years has be come worm-, town; the inner bar. I may stale right here, it was expected thnt this verv bur would form. Imhiiw of the converging Jetties, but it was well anown now to remedy it and therefore this form was adopted as being the very Uist for this phuv. This groin is off thf lar and by contracting the distance at his place to correspond with it at its nd it w ill cut out this inner lr, this is he sole object of the groins and it in a well eftahhehed practice to acroimlih this class of remedies. In regard to the opinion of Yamirta Bay peotde. I may mat thai the citv council of Newport held a meeting and sent a committee to halein on this sub ject, while tlie meeting was in session. and during all tliat day and at that time the engineer was in liis office to give them an the information in Ins posers- sion, but it is evident thev did not de sire it as they did not call upon or send for him, he also offered to forward at once any communication they cared to make direct, but they did not accept tliis. None of these, w ho 1 understand are opposed to this place, have visited the groin, though several of Utem have be'n liqUCtel to do so. Neither up to the time of the meeting nor until it was over and the comtuiUev for Salem had left not any of those present saw a sin gle map of the rliannc! at tliat point and did noi know the ciiannel depth there. nor do thev in reality know where the channel is. As to the sand washing Into he lay il is undoubtedly true tliat most of if d-jc come from the south ; but not one ounce of it remains in the bar as it is carried out on the next ebb tide, so much is this the caw that below a line from the government dock at Newport to the south government ilock and the end of the jetties, over K3,OC0 cubic yards of sand has l-t n scoured away since these works were commenced, in other words in that area there is ttay over StW.OJO cubic yards more water than there was in l.vt). As to the l.jcati.m of the front ends jA the jetties I can only state that the jet ties werv locatol und the en-1 locate 1 by as abSe a ll v of engineers as can be gotten for tlua class of work. No point of the work has been n-i.'iectt-l at the ex- t-tse of the others, and as to the exten sion of tlw south jettv Several hundred feet, 1 will say that il vou will ni Capt. Symona re-rt for !a-t year viiu will wc that he recommended it for aOO fert:but rinfortunatelv the Iwardof armv r.gine-rs arc not enlowed with the wi- loni tliat runs to wajde here and thought lut to wait awhile and see test what the nesent jetties would accomplish be fore going haphazard into further move ment of the lr s-award, ami pvrlia on the reef. It may las remarked that the lr s1calily went seawanl in front of the jetties as long as the south jetty was being t-uut and it lias gone SW feet since lvJ but no such rate of movement was noticed while the north jetty was Wing built nor ia any noticed now". Since the present engineer has been in charge of this work, for the past two years, he has given constant study night and day to the problem, and certainly is as well qualified to judge as tlie many here, w ho don't know w hat a sub curren t means. It certainly must seem to anv fair minded person tliat engineers, ami I am not seaking of a single individual, but ail connected with this work, are as caable of judging what will lie results as those who never made a study of this or any other harbor improvement. it is tut just to say that some w ho oppose the present plan are honest in their opiwition, but I am comjnlled to U-licve that outers have only personal ends in their opposition and that the true interest of laquina Bay will not he found their only motive. As to whv the north jetty was built instead of extending the south jettv, it is the tvlief of engineers that loth jetties were necesarv, w bile the talent here lifter, some U-lieving that only the south jetty should have only been built and others maintain that only the north jetty has done any good. Only yester-1 lay an able sea captain asked if tlie en tire work could have been accomplished and lietter results secured by - a single north jettv. The groin is 12S0 feet from tlie end of the jettv and 770 feet lack from the Imov. the channel at the groin la eUU feet wide before any rock ia reached and it is over 15 feet below low water level at the extreme north edge of the channel the decivst water at the groin and in front of it is lo feet and it never has lievn more. The deepest water over which the groin is built is 12 feet. ' No water or sand passes through the south jetty at any point. The distance between the jetties at the end a 1023 feet and at this groin it is 1600 feet. X. February 18th will be the 32ad anniver saryof the K. of P.
