A DAY IX PORTLAND.
A common eveut to many Albany peo
ple, but not a very common one to the
Democrat man. Here's a memorandum
of it that may contain an item of interest
to soma.
"Christmas morning, got up at 5.15,and
after a lunch, short ride with Ike Conn
and a ten minute delay at the depot, was
sleepily on the way. A ride to Portland
tnougu a dragging anair is soon over,
with hardly a realization that it has been
made thiough the finest valkv in the
world.
Portland, the metropolis of the North
west, in Christmas quiet, in a drizzling
rain, is not a circus. But it is a good
sized city, with an excellent commercial
pulse, though row somewhat feverish
ovei Alaska trade. .
A visit with Hon. Geo. E. Chamberlin
a possible candidate for governor, was a
pleasant affair. Mr. Chamberlin is nice
ly situated, and Albany people almost
universally call at his office regardless of
politics. They know they will be treat
ed like a brother.
A lunch at the Hill house with a hos
pitable brother and sister-in-law, and
then off for Multnomah field, or better

iwwu iu rival ciuua ior supremacy at
foot ball, Portland, who had previously
won 4 to u, against Multnomah, teams
made up of old foot ball players. In a
drizzling rain, mud ankle deep the two
teams with all the energy at their com
mand, and a limited amount of foot ball
skill, with niass.guarda back and tandem
plays hammered at each otber and wat
lowed in the mud until the men were
only distinguishable bv their sizes, with
faces covered and hair matted with
mother earth. Occasionally a run around
the end, particularly by the more fleet
footed Multnomahs, created excitement,
and every gain oi five yards, was greeted
by the rooters with horns. bel.s and
shouts. The crowd was with tbe Mult
nomahs, and when the game finally ter
minated in tneir tavor 1U to 6, tbe three
thousand people left the giounas with
raised umbrellas with at least two thous
and of them rejoicing at the result.
At tbe Perkins the Dkmocbat man bad
a talk, with C. W. Watts, just from Stag-
may. He arrived on Friday, received a

lowed by a letter Sunday morning, so he

Bean, J. '
It appear that Thomrtaoq. a men-ham
of North Brownsville, Linn county, was
insolveut, and an action was commenced
against him by the appellant and consid
erable property attached. Therefore,
Thompson secured some of his creditors
and immediately attempted to make a
general assignment.
The opinion of the supreme court is
that the evidence clean aimwa ih.i
Thompson made the preference com
plained of in view of a contemplated
general assignment, and aa a nan of th
same scheme. For that reason it i or
dered that the decree of the circuit couit
be modified to the extent of setting asi le
the general assignment, so far as the
rights of these plointiffs are concerned '
