Not to se our stoves anil ranges
before buj'ing is- a mistake. Mis
takes are always costly. In heat
ing stoves we have the largest as
well as the most carefully selected
stock in the city. The stoves we
offer were not bought as an experi
ment but as a certainty. We
know what each stove will do, and
they were bought for cash, so the
price is right. We have special
ties in heaters, beside our regular
lines of Garland, Argand and Su
perior stoves and ranges.

JOTTINGS A llODT TOWN.
Frank Wood, Jr., had the mis
fortune yesterday to cut hi" hand
severely with a chisel.
The Albany postmaster is a man
of leisure now. There are no
mails to distribute from any
quarter.
The family of A. M. Miller at
Tallman, who have been seriously
ill with pneumonia, are slowly re
covering. An entei prising man of this city
says he is willing to undertake to
carry the letter mail from this city
to Portland if a reasonable salary
is 'offered.
A very pleasant social dance was
given at the opera house last
evening by the commercial tourists
-and others who were storm-staid
in this city.
The Oregon Pacific train which
left this city last Saturday for Ya
quina was detained by a landslide
below Toleco and it is still lying at
the lattei place.
. The people of the Willamette
Valley can now sympathize with
those who were tied up in the Cali
fornia blockade. -They are under
going a similar experience.
A gentleman who arrived from
Lebanon yesterday states one ap
proach to the Waterloo bridge abo
oneofthe Lebanon bridge is washed
out, on the Canadian side in each
instance.
The damages to the bridges of
' Linn county by the flood will reach
thousands of dollars. The report
tha. the Narrow Gauge bridge is
gone is no doubt correct. A mes
senger from there last evening
stated that it was washed out Sun
day night.
The Jefferson Review says that
the many friends o T. J. Richard
son met at his residence near Jef
ferson Tuesday evening, January
28, 1S!)0, to i-elebrate his 09th
birthday. Mr. Richardson is an
old resident of Webfoot. He came
to Oregon in 18G3. His friends
left him a beautiful lounge as a

THE RAILROAD LINE3.
It Will Require Dayi and Perhaps Weeks
to Folly Repair Them.
Present indications are anything
but encouraging for the speedy re
sumption of traffic on any of the
transportation lines. The Southern
Pacific road has dozens of bridges
washed out and miles of track
wrecked up and down the .' illam
ette Valley, and it will require
days, and perhaps weeks to re
nair the dumaffft done. The track
i hnrllv washed out between this
citv and Salem, while in Clacka-
mas county the damage ia said to
be much worse. -
On t.A Orovon Pacific there is
enouzh damage ia sight of this city
to show that no trains will be run
ning for many days. The trestle
on the Btnton county side of the
draw-bridge is out of lineand in a
shaky ondition. Beyond this, be
ginning at the school house, and
extending as far as the eye can
reach the track and grade is com
nWflv washed awav. The Oregon
Pacific line eastward is uninjured,
nxrent a slight damage to the
trestle along'the Santuim.
The Lebanon branch of the
Southern Pacific escaped the flood
and it is the only road in this por
tion of Oregon that is running reg
ular trains
Albany is more completely iso-
lated than she was in the days of
Rtacre coaches, for the primitite
mail carriers usually reached here
at least once a week, and now all
mails are cut off, and the wires are
Hnnrn in nearly every direction.
Th manv davs of waiting required
until the repairs can be made and
thn rpcnlar routine of business re
sumed, is calculated to make the
average citizen shiver.
An Amusing Incident.
An excited individual came tear
ing down First street yesterday ,his
hat in one hand and a large basket
in the other. Five or six people
otnnned him and inquired the

itoricai Sketch Seal
Ecgice Co. Ho. 1 by C.
Sjfjre Albany
E. Stewart.
At the regular meeting of Albany
Engine Co. No. 1 held Monday
evening the following paper was
read by C. II. Stewart :
At the request of several old fire
men I have lately been trying to
"rescue from oblivion" certain
dates, facts and incidents connect
ed with the organization of old
Albany Kngine Co. No. 1, and I
find that the work has not been
commenced too soon. A large
majority of the original members
have a"lread3' "crossed the dark
river," and this, taken in connec
tion with the fact that some of the
records cf the company have been
lost, make it extremely difficult to
get hold of the data required. One
point estaolished beyond doubt is,
that the agitation of the question
of the organization of a fire com
pany in this city was cotemporan
eous with tne advent of Jos. Web
ber in these parts, which occurred
in the summer of 1S6S. Several
meetings were held during the
summer and fall of that year J cul
minating on Dec. 15th in a large
and enthusiastic gathering of
citizens at tte court house, at
which time a temporary organiza
tion was effected, and the requisite
committees on by-laws and perma
nent organization were apDcinted.
On Monday evening, Jan. 4,
18M9, the regular organization was
effected, and the election held at
that time resulted as follows:
President, Geo. T. Vining; secre
tary. A. N. Arnold; treasurer, S.
Montgomery ; foreman. Jos. Web
ber ; 1st assistant, Pat II. Farrell ;
2d assistant, Chas. Roggers. lin
me 'iately afterwards a great pres
sure was brought to bear upon the
city council with the object of
securing for the company a hand
fire engine. We had mossbacks,
kickers and growlers, even that
early history of Albany, and their
opposition was strong; but as
early as the 11th of February of the
same year we find the work of the
boys to show. On that day the
city council appointed its first
committee on fire and water, con
sisting of Jno. II. Hackleman, J.
B. Comely and Charles Mealey,
whose duty (so the official record
shows us) it shall be to estimate
the probable cost of a fire engine
and all necessary fixtures apper
taining thereto.
In the meantime the new fire
company grew in numbers, in
fluence and enthusiasm, and the
whole town, with the exception of
a very few, were urging the coun
cil to purchase an engine imme
diately. Recognizing the fact that
they must have some money to
assist in getting uniforms and oth
er necessaries, the fire company
made arrangements fcr its first an
nual ball, which was held at Par
rish'shallon Febrnary 22, 1809.
The hall, which at that time occu
pied all of the upper ' Btory of the
Parrish building except the two
front offices, was tastefully dec
orated, and was crowded with
dancers and spectators. Eighty
couples took part in the ball, and
as the price of tickets was $.3 00,
and the supper was contributed by
the citizens, the boys were able to
clean up a little over $100.
Immediately after this, at the
meeting of the city council on the
25th, John Hackleman presented
an ordinance appropriating $2000
for the purchase of a suitable fire
engine, hose-carriage and hose,
and the necessary fixtures in con
nection with a fire engine, which
passed without material opposi
tion. This action of the city
authorities was hailed with as
much delight and enthusiasm as
was the advent of the first railroad
in after years. A majority of the
committee on fire and water being
members of the fire company, of
course no time was lost after the
council had committed itself, and
preparations were commenced at
once for the purchase of an engine.
Our present mayor, Hon. James
L. Cowan, then connected with
the merchantile business in this
city, was selected to make the pur-
chase in San Francisco, in oonnec
tion with John A. Crawford, who
was then temporarily stopping at
tliat cty. Mr. Cowan went down
to California during the first week
in March, and with Mr. Craw ford,
commenced at once on the busi
ness entrusted to them. They
soon ascertained the fact that
"Crescent" No. 10 was the best
hand engine in the city, as Jos.
Webber had told them before
leaving Albany, and were very
much disappointed to find that the
authorities, for some reason, would
not sell it.- The next choice was
"Broderick" No. 1, which was pur
chased immediately lor $1000, a
hose cart for $150 and 400 feet ot
hose at $1.40 per foot. Mr. Cowan
returned about April 1st, and
made his report in accordance with
the above statement. Mr. Craw ford,
howeyer, remained in San Fran
cisco, and the city authorities hap
pening to change their minds, our
roys were very much pleased
when on April 23d the following'
dispatch was received :
San Francisco, April 22, 1869.
Joseph Webber: Crawford pur
chased best fire engine here No.
10. Shipped per "Whistler."
Wm. Free.
On May 11th the hand engine
arrived at Albany by ope ot the
river boats, and on the 17th was
turned over to the company. In
the meantime the company had
not been idle at home. .A lot had
been secured and an engine bouse
erected at about the same spot oc
cupied by No. Ones. Besides this
ana
new uniforms had been secured.
now an opportunity offered
a grand time, and the boys
it eagerly. Arrange
menta were commenced imme
diately for a public housing of the
engine, to take place on May 27th,
and a great deal of time, labor and
money was expended in. decorat
ing the new engine house, and in
putting the engine in fine trim and
readiness for the public trial,
which was to be made on that day.
When the day arrived the' town
put on a gala appearance. Our
citizens all turned out, and the
country people came from far and
near. Hie mavor ot iaiem anu

ning little fairy." (She was a this city, when compared with the
daughter of our "fellow townsman, destruction reported in the Her
Louis Miller, and is no.v Mrs. C. aid's dispatches this morning,
Dofilerneyer, of Tacoma.) The
parade ended at the court house, !
where in a trial by unskilled nre
men the ongine sustained its repu
tation by throwing a seven-eighths
stream "entirely over the court,
house cupola. This result was
considered good enough, and was
received with rapturous cljeers.
The affair wound up with a mag
nificent collation at tl c engine
house, and all the guests returned
home thinking that for whole
souled hospitality No. Ones of Al
bany could not be beaten. I am
glad to sy that this generous way
of treating invited guests in a right
royal manner has become pro
verbial with the old company, and
I hope that their successors will
see to it that the old cuscom is not
j departed from in the future.
The city was now provided with
first-class fire appaiatus, but hav
ing no cisterns, and no canal at
that time, had to e'epend entirely 1
upon wells for a water supply.
This in a si.ort time was to be the
cause of a disastrous and humiliat
ing event, which, even at this late
date, cannot be referred to by any
of the old members of the com
pany except with feelings of deep
regret. On the night of June 2:,
180S), the cry of "fire" was heard,
and the flames were seen issuing
from Gird's saloon, situated on the
now vacant corner opposite the
opera house. The fire soon passed
into the blacksmith and wagon
shop immediately east, owned by
Isaiah Mercier, and then caught in
the new engine house. The engine
had been set finally at Canon's
liven' stable (now the opera house)
and iust as the fire was about
under control the well failed, and
thus at the first fire after receiving
the engine, and less than one
month after their grand and suc
cessful public trial of the fire appa
rat us. the bovs had to sec their
new engine house go up in smoke
Early next morning the moss-
backs" commenced congregating
and soon began advancing their
claims as possessors of superior
wisdom in relat on to fire matters.
They had not uttered that time
honored argument i told you
so" but a very few times until
three of them were gloriously
"licked." The boys had worked
like Turks: had moved their en
gine from well to well, and had
done everything that was iossible,
and the croakers soon found out
that it would not do to crow over
them in their misfortune. Although
the fire was disastrous to the com
pany, it was not without a good
effect, fur in less than one month
after th'.s the council had let the
contract to George Humphrey for
the construction of the first fire
cistern, at the corner of First and
Ferry streets, and the job was fin
ished Augus-t latn.
The engine was now housed
temporarily in an old butcher shop
winch stood at tnat tune on tne
now vacant- ground immediately
north of the Democrat office, and
the boys held their monthly meet
ings at Joe Webber's barber shop,
Charley Maley's furniture store,
and anvwhere else that came
handy. The city council kept
piomising to build a new engine
house, but it was postponed from
time to time. At one time the lot
immediately west of Mrs. V. H.
McFarland's brick was purchased,
the price being $1300, but this was
thought to be too much money to
devote to such a purpose, and
after keeping it about two months,
it was sold to rs.tr. Duliois, who
already occupied it is a grocery
store, for $1400. On Oct. 23, 1870,
almost a year and a half after the
tire, the council purchased the lot
on whicn our engine house now
stands, paying for it the sum of
$400. Not having any place of
meeting, and the council not show
ing any signs of helping them, the
company almost ceased to exist,
but they revived sufficiently to
make themselves heard at the city
election in the following December,
and then the re-action commenced.
Early in the spring of 1871 work
was commenced on the new engine
house, but it was not completed
until July 14th. In May, after it
was definitely ascertained that the
new house would be completed,
the almost dead fire company ' was
resuscitated, and they began at
once making arrangements for hav
ing a big time on the occasion of
the housing of their engine, setting
the date at July 28, 1571. The
affair came off at the appointed
time and was almost a repetition
of the festivities of two years be
fore. Fifty firemen came up from
saiem, ana a large number at
tended from Corvallis. As usual a
ire dinner was given, this time at

Nothing occurred during the entire
day to mar the festivities of the
occasion. Everything passed off
pleasantly, and every one seemed
to be glad to see the fire company
again in possession of nice, com-
lortauie ana commodious head
quarters.
This completes the history of the
old nre company from its organiza
tion up to the time of their taking
possession oi tne engine liouse in
which we are now domiciled. The
old hand engine owned by them,
but last vear sold to the city of
Hillsboro, proved itself at many a
fire and tournament to be the best
machine of its kind on the coast,

ALBANY.
The Qjue.n manufacturing city and
railroad center of Oregon, Albany,
to-day has the brightest future be
fore it of any town in Oregon, and she
will certainly by the end of 1890 have
a population of from 10,000 to 15,000
souls. She is maintaining steady
and healthy growth, and is destined
to be the great railroad center and
manufacturing city of Oregon. Real
estate to-day in Albany i cheap com
pared with other towns in Oregon
and Washington that have not one
half the future before them that Al
bany has. It will only be a short
time until the speculator will prefer
Albany to any other town in Oregon
or Washington to invest his money in
and those now who are smart enough
to embrace the present opportunity to
buy real estate in Albany while it is
cheap will be the ones that make the
money. The real estate firm of Burk
hart & Malin have some excellent
