We presume there is no objection what ever to granting a franchise for an en terprise so commendable, but some time should have been specified when this plant should be erected, and fil ing, the. franchise to Income null and vi id. However, Mr Clow Is no trlflor and If ho fails to erect tlio plant with in a reasonable length of time, he will not stand in the way of any other firm or individual from doing so during the entire life of his franchise.

She Will Tike tiiiTpiace of the N 8 lieulley, N-iW Belouglng e ihe OC & K. Salem Statesmau: The launching yesterday of the O C 4 E Co's steamer "Albany" at Steffsn'e yards Portland, was attended by a large crowd of 'o. pi- euKsr to see the new craft make liertleiiut among the already numer ous craft on the Willamette division. Site Is 150 feet iu length, U'i feet beam, with dentil or hold 4 leel aud 0 Inches, aud built as near for speed as a light draucht hull could be constructed. The heuse and machinery are from the steamer "N S Beullcy," which w built in 1880 by the O P R R Co. ma ing her tlrst trial trip on December laiholttiut year. Two weeks later she sank at Albany with 3,8(H) bushels of wheat on board. In 1SH7 she sauk ta-low Suleui, damaging a large cargo. She had the reputatiou among river men of having a "Jonah" placed en her, as no matter under whose coin maud she was placed, she never real ized to her owner the enormous prof lis gained by her companions, the "Win M Hoag" and "Three Sisters." It Is to be hoped that with a new start lu life, a new name taken from one of the prosperous towns on her route and managed by a reorganized company of determined businessmen, lis will prove a success. This is tbe secoud boat christeusd the "Albsuy" that bus navigated the Willamette, the tint being built lu lStiH at . Catiemali by the People's Transportation Company, composed principally of Salem luislnesi nien her dimensions being somewhat less than the "Albany" of today. J D Miller and George A Pease were her tlrst captains. Mhe operated on the Willamette until. January, 1875. At that time she sauk on the upper river at the mouth of the famous Long Tom river wlille In command of Captain Aaron Yickers, who met his death at Oregou City February 13th of the same year from tbe effects of exposure. At the lime she was wrecked a portiou of the old boat drifted down to Ituena Vista, where it remained ouan Island for several years. In the spring of 1871 she made eighteen con secutive trips between Oregon City and Eugene, clearing from $800 to 11,000 a trip. At that time all freight rates on the river were high and steaiuboatlug was a very profitable business. While the chances for the new boat to coin money are not as favorable as lu tiie days of her uamrsake, she can be made a valuable feeder to the rail road to which she belongs. FOSTER'S FORECASTS. Storm VTtra Is A boot to t'reki tbe Kocklea. Foster's last bulletin nave forecasts of the storm wave to cross the conti nent Irotn the 8th to the 12th and the next he says will reach the Paciflo coast about the 13th, cross the west of Itockles country by close or Hth, great central valleys loth lo 17th, eastern states 18th. Accompanying tins aisturoance win be a large amount of precipitation and immediately following it the coldest part of the mouth. The warm wave will cross the west of Itockles country about 13th, greut central valleys 15th, eastern states 17th. Cool wave will cross the west of Rookies country about 10th, great central valleys 18th, eastern states 2oth. Tlio cold wave following this distur bance will Increase In severity as It moves eastward and will lie most se vere iu the Atlantlo states about Slh. Months agothese bulletins contained an important forecai-t to the effect that rain and snow would lamely Increase over the Uulled States befora the close of Deoenilsjr. It was ilso stated that our atmosphere was greatly expanded from Hie effect of excessive aad Ions evaporation and would collapse by precipitation by tho begin uing or 1890. Apply the laws of magnetism to the position of the planets and the reason or tills Important and suooeasful forecast will readily be seen as also the causes for the April and May drouths of 1890. Pally Guard, January 10. Temperance Meeting. Thursday evening's speoial gospel temperance service held in the U B church, con ducted eullrely by Rev li Leppert and wire, was attended by a large audience with manifest luterest. and many went away from the service determined to Join their heart and Inlluence to rid our city, as well as our land, from the nefarious traruo. iisv Tieppert has no oompreiulse to make with th whisky iranio, uor any or the alua r vices or society todsy, whether popular or ot tier wise. The Interest manifested In those services both by th Christian people and the publio were nevermore Intense than now;aud they bid fair to result In lasting good, as many already have confessed Christ and committed their lives to his service. These meet ings will continue Isdeflnltely. COR. Dally QsarS, January 10. Drummer Ejected. Yesterday's Albany Democrat: A drummer named Hart was ejected from the overland last night because It was claimed he was not the man represent ed on the ticket.

Aotlon ha been taken by Lloyd Montgomery' attorney, which will, no doubt, pre vent his execution th 81st lust. Th time had expired In which a bill of exceptions could be filed, but Prose cuting Attorney McCain today signed stipulations extending the time until January 20 for perfecting an appeal. The case will then be appealed to th supreme court aad Montgomery' at torney's expect a stay of execution un til the appeal lor a new trial can be heard. Th main point upon wbicti th defense will rely la th appeal will be the claim that the court errtl In admitting lo -Tdenoe Montgomery's confession befor the grand Jury, No credence I placed In the conflict ing steries of ifie murderer for his statement that he ouly killed McKer chsr and not his parents. The gensial Impression Is that the appeal, If allowed, will only postpone th day of execu tion. Teaching llteratirtt , Sal sin Journal: A writer In th Willamette Collegian suggests that Oregon Is but little represented lo th literature of our country aud "can polutout no one who lias gained a national reputation elthor lu prose or poetry." At most Oregon cau claim Samuel L Simpson as the author f "The Beautiful Willamette," a classic of the school readers and found In many collections of verse. It Is more than likely Oregon can claim to be the home of Bret Hart and Joaqulu Mil ler quite as well as California, The offering of a $500 prize to ailrau late some one to produce a meritorious literary work, as Is suggested, would not hasten the ripening of any literary fruit on the tree of letters. The study Vf English literature as such will alone produce men and women or literary twites and ability. ' At present the subject Is little more than trifled with in our schools and colleges, T he sub ject is worthy of more attention, and asine from rresiient Jiawiey, or me Willamette, and Chapman, of Eugene, Oregon can scarcely boast of a pereon capable of even lecturing on the sub ject.
