Editor Democrat: Dear Sir: 1 find in your paper to night, very elaborate quotations from the Salem Journal, which published in yes terday's edition a lot of nonsense regard in the Lawler company's affairs. Such publications are very misleading and an noying to me and should not be indulged in too freely by the paper wishing success to the Lawler syndicate. I have repeated ly toid tlia representatives ot je press that our work in proving of the ixrtin acity of the vein at depth and the reduc tion of Quartzville ores was largely ex perimental; and I wish it distinctly un derstood that I am not boasting of suc cess until we have made one; and that English capital or any other capital (as far as my experience goes)is very hard to raise for developing the mining claims in this region and for reasons very well known to mining men, and farther, that the Lawler mining company has no rep resentative other than myself in this country, and, that I have not authorized anyone to bond or look up mines for my company. It is absurd to compare our prospects with the great mines of Cripple Creelc and Trail. We have good pros pect" and are willing to spend our monev in their development, and are hopeful of fair profits. We have the mines well opened. There are a great many miuing claims in Linn and Lane And Marion counties from surface indications that are worthy of development, providing the value in the ores can be saved. But they must be operated in a large way as the ores are very low grade and not well oxidized. Capital, and intelligent min- ing mav do much good for this section, i ..-!. ;i . . ..... . .. i . : much harm. Yerv Sineerelv, r , I j rAncriauru i?i .,n.-m-iiio limy oo . 13.

A good sized audience, including thir ty or forty from Corvallis, were present at the opera house Saturday night. The program was opened with a song by the A. O. U. W. quartet, Messrs Poling. Fortmiller, Lundell and Akers. Ilea. J. K. Weatherford delivered an address of welcome to those present from other places, in the course of which he made the interesting statement that while onlv $:!6,000 had been paid out bv the A. O". U. W. of Albany, $oo,000 had been received by the widows of deceased members, leaving them in good circum stances. lion. W. W. Colvig, of Jacksonville, grand master workman, was introduced and spoke fluently for about an hour. We gi'-e a synopsis of bis remarks : He wants" others to know of the bene fit of the order, lie would place the A. O. L. W. above all other orders, without detracting from them. In considering the claim of an order it is always well to look to the history of it. On October 2ti, 1868, the A.O. U. W. was organized by John G. Upchurch, in Meadville, l'enn. It was started among the industrial classes for their benefit. The order is founded on the golden rule, the funda mental principle of the A. O. U. W.,men meet now not with swords, but with the right hand of fellowship, an idea taken trom the golden rule established by Christ. The speaker is an ontiouist, be believiug that next year will be better than the past, the golden rule develop ing in mens hearts. One illustration was given of the development in the use of iron, so with the heart. There are about 6,000.000 members of fraternal orders in the U. S., 345,000 being .V... i I ' ir 'n. ; i - , ...it; j. t . ,i . x Ills utucr is trill ire V consistent with christianitv.or the sneak- ii . . .. . . . . . . . er would not support it.

How reas- onal :e A comparison was ma.l with o!d line insurance companies, which cost J2 for $2,000 straight life, to the A . O. U. W. $18; also with other fraternal orders for a like time of existence. In any event 23 assessments is all the as sesuiema that can be raised. After that it would come from the supreme lodge through newer and younger Jurisdictions Willi tewer assessments. The speaker paid a strong tribute to the Degree of Honor, explaining its workings and urg ing its hearty support. Ho considered it a strong element in Christianity to provide for one's family after death. The epeaker acknowledged the grandest reception in this city since being grand master. The program was closed by another song by the quartet. During the afternoon a fine reception was tendered the grand master work man and after the address a reception was tendered the visiting Workmen and D.ofH. in the A.O. U. W. hall, both splendidly gotten up affairs. Harrisburg. Mr. A. J. Hill has succeeded Mr. A. L. Somers in the saddle and harness busi ness and will continue in the Odd Fel lows' building. Mr. Ed Sacry. who has been stopping at Dr. Mackey's for the past three months went to Albany today to visit for a few days, and will then'go oa to his home at Alsea.

Besides, there re mains in store to be shipped from this place alone, 500 tons oats, which, with the ordinary store tratlic, wiH furnish the Gypsy with freight until the wool clip will be ready for market.

It costs the United Artisans according to age, the voung less than the older. It takes in from IS to bO, a good feature; ladies ran join the same as men, at tbe same rate according to age, or be mem bers merely socially. At id years ot age members withdraw one-tenth yearly tor ten years. Brothers in sickness are taken care of. Tbe form of government is purelr democratic. It is the onlv organ ization with a reserve fund that limits the cost of protection. The limit is 1 assessments, while the A. O. U. W. is 23 and in some states 30.' Tli- reserve fund consists of an average of $1J0, the bencfi iltry receiving alxui f 190J.

"Finest hardware store in Oregon," is what people say of the new Stewart & Sox Hardware Co's store on Second street, opposito the P. O. Take a look at it: Two stories higu witn a cement basement, three stories, all occupied. The ground tloor is tilled witb shelf hardware, tinware ana stoves on lue leu, while on the right are bicycles, guns. ammunition, paints, seeds, etc. In the center is a commodious and well ar ranged otIUt . An easy stai. way leads to the second tloor, filled with buggies, wa gons, plows and agricultural implements f;eiieraiiy, easily raiseu anu iuhcibi on arge elevator in the rear. The base ment will be used as a storage room. About 15,000 square feet of flooring will be fully occupied, speaking for the im mense stock carried by the progressive company. So large is the stcck and great the variety that it is almost im possible to call 'for anything in these lines without finding it. The excellent reputation of the firm speaks for good treatment and fair dealinir. There will be more reason than ever to congi atulate Albanv unon her laree and well filled stores, for thia is a model in size, con venience and arrangement, probably the finest in Oregon.

A communi cation appeared in Mondav's Democrat beaded "A Mad log. It was a pretty hot and pointed article. One saloon keeper in a posted notice in red ink offered $5 if the w riter would appear and anoounce himself. One or two Albany men were accused of writing it. As a matter of fact it was written by a Port land ladv, a former resident of Albany, who had jest as soon the saloon keeper or any one else would know her name as not. L. begins her first name. Tbe columns of the Democrat are always open for answers to that or an) other communication- If there are two sides to anv question it is onlv rigut the pub lic should bear both of them.
