All Kinds of Trouble.
Additional Local.
. A short time ago Major Davis
brought his wife here from Mill
City for medical treatment ; It
is understood that she has con
sumption and is very low, in
deed. Mr. Davis expected some
of his people to arrive on the
Tuesday morning C & E train
and made preparations to meet
them at the train with a team.
Said team was not accustomed
to trains and as the cars came
rolling in the 1 oises unceremon
iously departed. The frighten
ed animals were not particular as
to the route they selected and as
a result of their carelessness they
got mixed up with a telephone
pole and demolished the vehicle
somewhat. They also tore their
harness pretty badly. After free
ing themselves from the vehicle,
the horses proceeded on home.
Major Davis had borrowed the
entire outfit, even the driver.
The team belonged to Riley
Young:, the wagon to Mr. Hub-
ler and Wm. Ross was the driver.

eggs. One day thev laid 18 eggs
after bavin? laid iq the day be
fore. On two different days they
aid 13 eggs, and this is the
smallest number laid m any one
day. . This is certainly great for
the number f hens.
Mr. Emery is very careful of
the manner in which he feeds his
chickens; in the morning he feeds
a mash composed of equal parts
shorts and cracked corn, to
which is added a handful of meat
meal, mixed with warm water or
milk. At noon he feeds one
1
quart of Wheat," scattered in
ltter in a scratching sued, and
in addition he feeds fresh ground
bone twice a week, all thev can
eat.

Notes From Albany.
A. J. Shirley, local agent of th
O. C. T. Co., returned the first of
the week from a business trip - to
Portland. He went via the West
Side and states that this is the first
trip that he ever made over this
road.. He was most favorably im
pressed with the country and con
siders it of surprising beauty. He
says that it is likely arrangements
will be made whereby tickets will
be issued during the Lewis and
Clark Fair. These tickets will be
good over. East or West Bide roads,
one way, and the other way on the
river steamers of his company.
This will be a great thing for ex
cursionists wno desire to see our
country as it really is.
ll appears that atter all tne in
terest of F. P. Sheasgreen in the
Central Planing- Mill may not be
acquired .by A. F. Harlan. The
hitch in negotiations are occasioned
by Mr. Buxton's refusal to go back
to work in the milL Mr: Buxton
does not wish to go back at steady
work and on this account Mr. Har
lan feels some hesitancy in purchas
ing Mr. Sheasgreen's interest. Mr.
Buxton, we are informed, would
have no objection to Mr. Harlan
for a partner, but is desirous him'
self of keeping clear of the re
sponsibility of work in connection
with the mill. On the other hand,
Mr. bheasereen is not anxious one
way or the other. The , matter
will he settled in a couple of days.
