IHQOTRIBO ABOUT ALBANY.
Many Letters E'ceived From Intending
8ettleri ia tbe East a ad lsevtere.
The following is a sample of
many letters received at this office
from intending immigrants in the
East, as well a? a good many from
California and the new stite of
Washington, from people who was
looking toward the Wallaiuutte
valley as a place to locate :
Lincoln, Kansas Feb. 12th.
Editor Herald, Albany, r:

copies of your paper, daily and
weekly editions, also send any
descriptive matter you can about
vour town imd the Willamette.
Valley. Many people from this
state will emigrate to Oregon this
soring and summer. 1 would like
to find out all I can about the
country. What is the population
of Albany, and what kind of fac
tories have you ? 1 low many banks
are there in Albany? If this is not
asking to much please answer
these inquires, also semi any other
information you can. What is the
price of land?
J. II Drcios.
The above is only one of many
similar letters received by people
who refer to a newspaper oilice as a
sort of general intelligence bureau.
Hundreds of cop:eof the Herald,
containing information about Alba
ny, and tbe country tributary, have
been furnished in response to such
inquires.
In reply to the letter from Kan
saa, as well as others,the following
general facts may be stated :
The population of Albany ac
cording to the census of ISM is, in
round numbers, 7000.
The city has first-class woolen
mills, tlouring mills, sash, door
and furniture factories, wire
works, ice factory, iron works,
electric ligtit works, cement works,
and many smaller lactones.
City property is so varied in price,
according to location, that prices
cannot be quoted in a general way.
Unimproved lots in the suburbs
can he - bought from $150 to $500.
Business property is not extremely
high in value, but it is generally
occupied and is not seeking buyers.
The best farming land is worth
from $'M to $100 per acre, accord
ing to its distance from Albany,
while good land in the loot-lulls
can be bought for $10 to $ 0 per
acre.
Albiny has three banks, all of
which are doing a good business.
A steady volume of building is go
ing steadily forward, and the city
is enjoying a steady, substantial
growth. Some of the most im
posing huilduiiss in the city have
been erected duiing the past year,
and the amount exneuded in build
ings alone during the year reaches
fully a quarter of a million dollars.
When to this i added the amount
expended tor other improvement
a total of nearly half a million is
reached, making a good showing
for the city.
The citizens of Albany last year
voted in favor of bonding the city
inr $75,000 to be expended in a
system of public improvements,
including a city lull , a complete
sewerage system, and a fund
toward the construction of a wagon
bridge across the Willamette river,
rhecity charter has been amended
Dy the legislature, and the im
provements will go. forward this
summer.
In transportation lines the city
,K)ssesscs superior advantages.
Albany is the junction of ttiree
different lines of railroad. These
are the Oregon Pacific, the
Southern Pacific and the Lebanon
branch of Jhe latter. These rail
road lines, coupled with the river
traffic of the Oregon Pacific and
other boats and the bhort route to
the seaboarJ via Yaquina, oiler
shipping facilities unsurpassed by
any city in Oregon.
in addition to this a new route
has been projected to the seaboard
at Astoria in the Albany & Astoria
railroad. The route has already
been surveyed and established,
ami there are good reasons to be
lieve that the road will be built at
an early day. Albany possesses
a wonderttil water power which
dr.ves the machinery of import nt
manufacturing enterprises.
That this portion of Oregon pre
sents a field otlering superior in
ducements to those desiring homes
is made apparent when the re
sources of Linn county are briefly
noted.
It embraces the central and most
fertile nart of the far-famed Wil
Lunette valley. It is probably the
best watered section of the state
It is bounded on the west by the
Willamette, and on the north bj
by the north fork of the Santiani.
river.
The county contains tetween six
and seven tiers of townships from
north to south, and from eleven to
twelve f.oin east to west, the area
in acres being alxiut 1,20,000, or
iSlz quarter section tracts. De
ducting the uncultivatable moun
tain tracts all valuable for pastur
age and timber there would re
main at least two-thirds of the
whole adapted to cultivation.
The soil on the margins of the
water courses is a black alluvial de
posit or a sandy loam, with a clay
sub-soil, and the uplands are gen
erally characterized by red, brown
or black loam. These soils are all
rich and deep, producing abun
dantly grain, fruit and vegetables.
Nowhere in the world do small
grains do better than in the coun
try around Albany and tributary to
it in trade. Oregon wheat and
llour now being shipped to the
markets direct having heretofore
teen merged in the California crop
they take the lead in the Liver
pool quotations. At the head of
the list is Oregon wheat and its
central and choicest fields ef pro
duction are in Linn county. Tha
yield of wheat not infrequently
reaches 45 bushels to the acre, auil
it invaitahly weighsover (W pounds
to the bushel.
Small fruits and berries of all
descriptions flousish remarkably
in Oregon; peaches and grapes do
well, hut apples, pears, prunes,

Oregon has the reputation of
being the' most productive fruit
; th.. world. Itn eouable
climate, moist atmosphere and
freedom Irom cyclonic Biorms,
makes it perfectly possible to es

The Willamette valley, in the
heart of which is situated the grow

peculiarly adapted fruit growing
part of the state.and this vicinity is
fast development into a center for
its growth and shipment.
HAREISB0RG NOTES.
Tbe Town Enjiying a Spirit of Growth
A Fr-jected Water Ditch.
II vRitisiit iiCi, Feb. 1(5.
The spirit of improvement
seems to have taken hold of our
people iu earnest. They aie real
izing the fact that in order to suc
ceed with the many improvements
that are positively necessary to
move home seekers to cast their
lots with ue, can only be accom
plished by united efforts. Harris
burg is surrounded by all the
conditions required to build up a
good town. A soil for producing
quantities, which is excelled by
none, an inexhaustible water
power to be had by a small outlay,
and upon the improvements of
which deends the success of Ilar
risburg, as a business center of
any extent, and we are glad to sue
that this all important subject is
being agitated. Now is the time
to organize, and at ouce set the
ball to rolling. There is plenty of
capital in the vicinity of this place
to be obtained readily for the con
struction of a water ditch thut
will supply from three to five
hundred horse power. All that is
needed is for some representative
man to take the lead and say we
must and will build the ditch, and
subscribe a liberal sum for that
purpose, and others will follow in
such quick succession as to aston
ish the old mossbacks, and by the
time the rainy season is over we
will have ample means to do the
work.
Mr. Soughbottom, lately from
the stats of Tennessee, buried
their infant boy yesterday. The
babe was about ten days old.
They have the heartfelt sympathy
of their many friends.
We had a very lively scene on
our streets this afternoon; the
first rid in of a hunoii-graas
broncho. The animal bucked and
capered about at. a terrible rate,
but the rider stuck to him and the
crowd seemed to enjoy it hugely
without stopping to think that it
was the Sabbath day or that well
raised jieople were passing on
their way from church.
The average webfoot is rendered
normal by the late heavy rain, and
the river is at a line boating stage,
making it pof-.sible to have at
least a poition of our grain go by
the cheaper route to market.
.Mr. Shields, representing the
Portland Flouring Mills Co., was
in our city this wer'k looking after
wheat.
Prof. Jewett has so far recovered
from hi-s late sickness as to visit
his school this week.
Thurston Porter has finished,
ready for painting, a very neat
picket fencd around his home,
which he lately purchased from
the Ilarrishurg Land Co.
The fall sown grain in this vi
cinity is looking well, and if noth
ing occur.-! bet ween now ami har
vest to prevent, the promise is for
an abundant yield.
A I'leaHant Surprise.
A very pleasmt surprise party
was given last evening to Mr. and
Mrs. 1). S. Smith, the occasion
being the 3:J birthday of Mr.
Su ith. A very enjoyable time
was spent in games and conversa
tion until about 1 o'clock, when a
delicious lunch was served. The
following were present: Mr. and
Mrs. L. H. Montanye, Mr. and
Mrs. Matt Scott, Mrs. Coll Van
Cleve, Mrs. Ed. M. Mack, Miss
Maud Beard, Misses Temple,
Baynard Montanye, Miss Mary
Montanye, Fred Van Cleve, Ralph
Van Cieve and Bert Van Cleve.
A Technical Charge.
1). L. Cr wder, who was arrested
in Portland on the trival charge
of riding on a free pass upon the
Missouri Pacific railway as postal
inspector before he had qualified
as such, was in this city Sunday,
He has furnished bonds, but will
have to go East to answer to the
charge. He had been ragularly
appointed postal inspector, and
the charge is on a very technical
point, and will probably not stick.

Citizen' Meeting at Scio.
A citizens meeting was held at
Scio Saturday for the purpose of
considering the county di.'ision
question. Resolutions were
adopted asking the senate to re
consider the vote whereby action
on the Santiani county bill was
indefinitely postponed.
A Truck Load
Of caulillower, cabbage, lennns,
oranges, figs, dates, and an endless
variety of good things were re

UNGRATEFUL TO BRAVEET.
Ths Keibaiusof Col. E, D- Baker of Ore
gon Lie Id Obscurity In 8an Francisco.
It is a painful fact, one surely
regretted by all Oregouians, that
the remains of the late Colonel E.
1. Baker, who fell at Ball's Blutf
October 21, IStil, during the Civil
war, are resting in a grave in
Laurel Hill cemetery, San Fran
cisco, which is marked only by an
unpreten'ious tablet.
At the time he accepted a com
mission as colonel of volunteers,
he was serving Oregou in the
United States senate, and when
the enemy's bullet pierced his
heart, he carried a brigadier-general's
commission in his pocket.
All Oregonians still hold his
memory dear for his patriotism
duriug the "dark days," as well as
for his lofty oratorical powers. In
the latter respect he was the peer
of Webster and Clay.
An exchange, referring to the
trite idea that republics are un
grateful, saying that a design for
the erection of a gorgeous monu
ment over the grave of the de
ceased statesman and eoldier has
just been refound in a musty,
dusty, out-of-the-way place. The
design is now in the hands of K.
B. Jerome, who for twenty odd
years lias been deputy collector of
the pjrt of San Francisco.
The lamented President Lincoln
was a warm personal friend "of
Colonel Baker, and he engaged Dr.
Stone, of Washington city, to de
sign a monument costing about
$123,000 to mark the earthly rest
ing place of the illustiious dead.
It was to have been thirty feet in
bight.
Incidents in tin life of the dead
orator and warrior were illustrated
hy etchings in relief. On one side
Colonel Baker was attired in the
senatorial toga. On a marble
plate near the apex a band of
soldiers with reveised arms was
traced. Ixnver down was a repro
duction of the battle of Ball's
Bluir at the fatal juncture when
Colonel Baker staggered back, shot
to the death. 1IU masterful elo
quence was typified by figures of
Demosthenes, Cicero and other
orators of old.
I r. Stone sent the design to
Starr King in 1802. That great
orator projected ft series of public
lectures, the proceeds of which
were to be used in defraying the
cost of constructing the monu
ment. Unfortunately the illustri
ous preacher died before he could
carry out his purpose. From then
until now nothing has been said
of ttie graceful deed of remem
bran:h. The obscure tablet over
his grave is crumbling gradually
to dust, and nothing survives but
a faded yellowy monument design,
and even that will lose its small
identity in the flight of a few more
vears.

Oregon's Birthday.
Saturday last was our state's
birthday. Thirty-two years ago
Oregon was admitted into the
Union. Oregon on the 11th day of
February, 185!, was the twentieth
state admitted into the Union, not
counting the original thirteen.
The Union of date 1859 was very
different from the Nation of to-day.
Since then there has been a rapid
succession of commonwealths
formed. Kansas in 1801, West Vir
ginia in lHi3, Nevada in 1804, and
Nebraska in 1807. Then came a
long interval, over nine years, and
Colorado came in 1S70. Then came
the longest lapse in the history ot
the country fourteen years, and
with a rush we had a host of states,
Washington, Montana, and the
two Dakotas, Idaho and Wyoming
are the latest in the family. It is
a common error among writers
and orators to asett that our sister
state, California, was the only state
that came into the Union without
previous probation as a territory,
and she had been punted to as
another Minerva but her "spring
ing forth in full armor," etc., had
for precedents the states of Ver
mont, 1701 ; Kentucky. 1782; Ten
nessee, 1780; Ohio, 1802; Maine,
1820; Texas, 1845; and West
