Francisco, and 3 cents In Liverpool since Saturday noon. The Albany quotation is 77 cents. . Saturday 20,000 bushels were bought at the Farmers at 80 cents. Fruit Returns i ne returns t rem t tie nrsl three car loads of fruit shipped from Albany will not make the shippers hilarious. The The first car indicated a loss. No- two shipped from Aloany Auk. 27 was sola in Mew York on SeDt. 8 as follows: Bartiett pears $1.38, Itihan prunes 46c, Hungarian $1.47. There were 490 pack ages dross lecetpta $592. There was a net receipt of over 30 cents for the paiM and nearly $1.00 for the prunes, The third oar brought the following: silver prunes 5Sc, Bartiett pears $1.19. Packages 186. Gross receipts $U8. While these rates are low, yet they are nign compared with other returns on the eame day, due to the superiority of me iruit and packing, tor instance. Italian prunes shipped from Cornelius bought only 36 cents, McMinnville 35-, and Bartletts from Red Bluff only 62. while those of Albany brought 46c for the prunes and $1.33 for the pears. As the railroad gets 66 cents freight and 23 cents goes for ice it is easy to ngure out that tbe farmer doesn t stand a ghost of a show except in case of fancy prices like those for the Hungarian prunes. Mr. Slauson's Appointment - The new congressional building at Washington cost $8,000,000. The library is probably the finest in tbe world. John Russell Young is librarian, and it takes sixty men, appointed for life, or during good oenanor, to run it. Ihere are de partments as follows : Catalogue, law, mape and charts, periodicals and news papers, music. Tbe Washington Pst says : "The choice of the heads of the de partments has been a very difficult work for Librarian John Rasfell Young. The law made it obligatory to name for ser vice on the new staff only those who pos sess fitness ai.d aptitude for library dutv. There were over 7,000 applications to choose sixty people from. Nearly all the applicants were people of culture, experience and influence wth public men, and several hundred possessed in a high degree the requirements nominated in the law. To obtain the very best as sistants from so much rich material re quire i the very ca.eful weigtiing of the qualifications of each applicant "A candidate from the northwest was presented by his many friends for the position of superintendent of the peri odical and newspaper department Tbe choice of this section was Mr Allen B. S.anson, the Washington correspondent of thn Seattle (Wash) Poet-Intel ligencer, tbe Spokane (Wash) Spokesman-Re view, and tbe Daily Statesman of Bois, Idaho. He was also for 11 years in tbe service of the Portland Oregonian. Jlr Young found that Mr Slaoson showed a peculiar aptitude for tbe place. He is a graduate of Cornell, and a thorouihly trained newspaper man of seventeen years' experience in every department of a newspaper office. He has a Urge li brary of bis own, wb ch is catalogued and classified in the most scientific man ner, and is a great believer in the value of contsmporaoeoua literature in peri odical and newspaper torm. Mr. Slaoson possesses great energy, and Liorarian Young is confident that under bis di rection tbe new superintendent will make this important department one of tbe most thorough. y organized and pop nlar in tb? library." Mrs Slauson being a native Linn county young lady the Democrat's read ers will be particularly interested in what is said ot the appointment. Good for Tom. Tha Salem Journal gives the following excellent notice for a reformed man, well known in Albany: "Tom McNary ain't slow as special po lice, lie makes more arrests than all the rest of the department, and be isn't afraid to go after a man. even beyond tbe city limits. He is freely spoken of as Salem's next citv marshal." The M. E. Cosikbescxe at Corvalis ad journed this forenoon. The appoint ments were announced. Albany people will be glad to know that Rtv.

Not long since the New York World telegraphed to the national democratic committeemen in the various states to telegraph answers to the inquiry "whether the growing prosperity of the country has shaken the faith of democrats and populists in tbe silver issue. Is their loyalty to Mr. Bryan as leader as great as ever?" J. H. Townsend, national committeeman for Oregon, residing at Dallas, gave this reply. "The democrats, silver republi cans and true populists of this state are loyal to Wm. J. Bryan and will march under his banner ta victory in 1900. We beneve biman honest mn,a great states man and a friend to tbe common people as well as the rich." Two Corvallis Gnus ran away yester day and came to Albany. Tbeir mother telegraphed the marshal to capture them, and a man was stationed on the bridge for an hour and a half but tbey came the other side. Tbe mother followed, and succeeded in finding them in tbe 1st ward, but tbey got away from her, and afterwards while she was on the bunt, took ber horse, drove it across tbe river and turned it loose. It is not known how the matter terminated, but 'it is i probable tbey are all at bo-ne now. A xoxo the Farmers. A rain yester day caused a good many blue faces ; bat a hgb barometer today baa cheered the farmers. In Benton county particularly there are a good many nnthreahed fields. Some with tbeir fields full ot wheat be came almost desperate. One farmer of fered a thresher 10 cents a bushel if be woulc take bis field next, and another one duplicated the offer and added a $-V) bonus In this county some fields are down.but runs of 30 to over 35 days have saved tbe bulk of the wheat. One week's more run will save all of it.

With ycur kind permission I will give through your paper an account to my Albany friends of my trip from New Or leans. While in that city I occasionally heard passion gossip of the yellow fever, but I was to bUBj seeing the quaint, in teresting old town to look at the pews papers. The Crescent city must always be attractive to a northerner as loug s he can endure the filth and odor which are characters tics that help to make its fame. Twenty-four hours were quite sufficient to satisfy me, and in that time I did the cemeteries.the French market, the French quarter, the chaiity hospital and attended mass in three churches. V hen I took the Illinois Central train ou Wednesday morning, nothing was said to me about a certificate of health, but when tbe train pulled out of the sta tion 1 discovered by the animated con versation in the crowded cars that most of the passengers were refugees, hurry ing from possible Ganger and possessed oi Health certificates, the value oi which grew more and more apparent as we journeyed northward. The express stops at only the larger towns of course, an oi which sre quarantined. At Jack son we met our first trouble. The presi dent of the board ol health of that town boarded thr jraln at the city limits and alter a cursory examination ot tbe pas sengers gave us permission to enter tbe station restaurant, with the exception of one "suspect" who was traveling with nis wue and child from Ft Wo-tt, Texas. As each passenger neared his destina tion he became visibly nervous and the passengers for bevond tbe state line had the laugh on such victims. When the station or quarantine line was reached the passengers who wished to land were taken into the day coach and tbe other cars locked. A policeman and a member of the board of health constituted the reception committee that tendered them an unwilling welcome The excitement while tbe health officers were making their decisions would in crease until a great crowd would ear- round the objects of their deliberations, " vigilance oi meneaitn officers teem ed absurd and the schemes to evade them were many, varied and amusing. Tbe railroads and business men especial ly deplore it and do all tbey can to sup press the excitement, but tbe public generally must commend the vigorous action taken to prevent a possible epi demic ot that most horrible and fatal disease, yellow fever. New Orleans was so unfortunate as to have heavy rains in the latter part of August which always makes the ci:y much more unheathful than nsual. At tbe Charity Hospital I was told five sus pected cases had been reported by phys icians on that staff, but that they after ward proved to be congestion of the liver. All possible precaution is bein taken to prevent contagion and we can rest as sured that the medical profession in the sooth, with experience, courage and science back of them will succeed in crushing tbe bead of tbe monster which threatens tbe public health. You need not feel alarmed on th re ceipt of this note, as the mails are fum igated and even if they were not, a yellow-fever germ could not exist in the heavenly air of the Willamette valley. It would die of home aickness pining for its native swamps before it could set around to work. 1 shall not stay in Memphis until it quarantines, at the first hint of such re strictions I will leave for the shores of Lake Michigan. C. Elizabeth Caupbeix. U. S. Crop Report. Tbe cessation cf the rains was most oppot tune, for the bona and grain bad about as much rain on them as they could stand. The rains and damp weath er produced more mold in the bops, and the result is some hoptarda will sot be picked. It is estimated that tbe rains damaged one third tbe total bop crop, so much so that they will not be picked, and caused mold to appear in almost every yard . The rains injured to an ex tent, tbe wheat that was in shock: the damage will be reduced materially by tbe lata weather, which allows tbe grata to dry. Little, it any, grain has been absolutely ruined, though some oaf.not properly protected, may be rained. The damage to tbe grain, when considering the total product, wilt be a very small percentage. The rains caused Petite prunes 'jo crack open badly. Threshing is very active, and with favorable weather it wilt be practieal'y ail done by the cloee of the current week . 1 be weather conditions today are fa vorable for fair and warmer weather from Wednesday. B. S. Pagcs. Public School Notice. Tbe public schools wilt open next Monday, 20 h inst. I will be at tbe Cen tral school Friday, 17th. from 9 to 12 a. m., to receive and classify all new pupils. Parents will please accompany pupils in the primary grades. Allow me to urge the great necessity ot entering pupils at the beginning. Ponctuality and regular attendance to school dotits are great virtues to be taught children. Without regular at tendance it is impossible to create and sustain tbe interest essential to good work. Every preparation bas been made that could be made to give yon the best ses sion m tbe history of tbe schools. n. ttrke, Superintendent. The Child Dead.

In Saturday's Dkuocwat appeared an item about five tucvcle young ladies from Corvallis being in Albany Friday night, and at 9 o dock be ng driven oat on ao count ot tneir misconduct by Mgbtwatch Bailees. Instead of five it was three and a young man, and instead of being here on bicycles tbey came in a carriage, but tbe young ladies wore bloomers and were supposed to be bicyclists by the police I oibcer, hence the mistake. ow it seems tnst on me same day nve ot uorvaliia s best young lsdies came to Albany oc a bicycle trip; but they returned borne at 5 o'clock, and were known by Albany people to have done so. I a Corraliis though there is an apprehension that tbey may have been mistaken for tbe hoodlums who w re driven out of tbe city. The Democeat is glad to give the facte in order to make sure of no mis apprehension, for the ktaodin of the five young ladies is so excellent as to 'de serve of no mistake in such a matter. A Gila Mosstsk Mr. Ben Bowers, of Southern Texas, where he bas an in terest in a paying silver mine, a former Benton countv man. arrived in Albany this morning from tbat staU. his second trip here within a year. He brought m i-h him a genuine Gilr monster which be captured in New Mexico, and which he presented this afternoon to tbe O. A. O. at Corvallis.

Eorros Democeat: I reached Oregon's metropolis Friday, and am at the Quimby House. As we steamed down the beautiful Willamette valley one could see field after field of merry bop pickers working as if their lives depended on the swiftness of tbeir fingers. There were several eastern people on the train nd they gazed with wonder and astonishment upon the or chards of fruit and tbe fields of bops and wheat. One old geut'eman from Indi ana went nearly wild over the sight. We neard mm ten bis wife tbat be never saw anything that would near come up w mis vauey ior iron and grain. To speak in tbe common parlance of the day. Portland is getting a move on ber and has entered the race with Seat tle and Tacoma for the Alaskan trade. Seattle at present baa the inside track hot it is bard to tell which will roroe under tbe wire first. Collector Black and bis force of Linn eoooty hoys are making for themselves a brilliant record. Yon hear on every hand nothing but words of praise for tbe management of the customs hooe. It is generally con eeeded teal Mr Black baa given better satisfaction than any collector that baa ever occupied the collectors deck since Portland became a port of entry. Yon bear Kloodike at every turn and we beard one man ask another where in blaze did that word Kiondicitis corre from. Brushing back oar bangs we po litely informed him tbat tbe Dewooiat man was it lather of the word ax d tbat be had applied for a patent on it, At any rate the word take and is coming in, eeoTi there wta t nse. ben spring opens be a big rush from here to Klondike. Parties say that Portland will coo tribute at least 500 men to swell tbe ranks of the great army of go'd hunters. They have here at the Quimby House tbe skin of the first Alaska packing dog direct from Itawson City. A man by the name of Brown brought him down here about a year ago, left bim at the Quimby Hoose end went oa to Califor nia. When first brought here he would not eat snything bat fish and would not make friends with anjooe nor notice another dog. Shortly after bis arrival be be;an t fatten very fast and in a few months be died. This skin does not look like a dog skin but is more like tbe skin of a fur bearing animal. Tbe Quimby lioase bas, a it deserve, a good patronage. No hotel la Portland is better conducted than the Qaimby. 11 ill A Morris are genllemen.wideawake, pleasant and courteous and tbey leave nothing undone that will add to the comfort and pleasure ot tbeir guests.
