An Intelligent Mill nesotian is In tke city as advance agent for six or seven families, who wish to leave their long, severe winters for our short, milJ ones; but he doesn't believe In leaping in the dark, and wants to know what can be done when h! gets here. Some lire farmers and some mechanics. He is de lighted with the Willamette Valley and if he sees a prospect of plenty of work ahead will advise his friends to co re to Oregon, probably to Lin county. Sober, indus trious, thrifty people, they arc the kind we want here, and we hope to see our Minnc sota friends navigate this way, believing they possess the energy that makes busi- TiUK MA UK.

Judge Ktruhari came Salem on business. up this noon from Seattle. - Yesterday afternoon Mr Hoffman received a dispatch from Director Kellogg that the tournament and State Firemen's Association would be held at Seattle instead of Portland, as the latlcr place had failed to raise the necessary funds, and the date has been changed to July 2nd to Gth. Portland has been sub scription ridden and even another straw lay heavy on her back, while Seattle. vounii and bou van t jumps to the front and offers to raise the necessary amount, about $2000. The change meets the approval of the fire men here, as it will offer a much more en joyable excursion for them, and then they are anxious to visit a city that will knock me cmp 011 i-oriianu s snouitier. Fioureo Out. An Ohio man writes to an Albany man about our country. He has the matter well figured out. He wishes to sell his farm, consisting of 185 acres, for$So to $100, the prevailing price there, as he believes that is too much money to have invested in farm property, and buy one here for $Jo to $40. If he does so we advise him not to get a larger one than he now has. The trouble here is not in the price but in the size of some of our farms. Our farmers are carrying more land than they can handle. One Way Mr. Wallace, who has been President of the Board of Trade of Greeley, Colorado, while In the city told an Albany man about how they attraced attention for a small outlay. For $140 they run a small advertisement, asking the readers to write for descriptive pamphlets, In twenty-five or thirty representative agricultural papers, and from it received four thousand letters of inquiry, resulting In considerable immi gration. Why not try it. At II alp Mast. In order to place No. t's flag at half mast In this city yesterday Mr Holman,the handsomest one of the boys, climbed the flag pole and tacked the flag to it. The rope had gotten out of the pole, hence the necessity of the operation. The G A R flag was also placed at half mast. On Election Day, The ladies of the Baptist Church will give a dinner on June 4th (election day) nt VV. C. T. U. Hall, Dinner commencing at 11 a. m., followed by lunch and social in evening.

Geo. and Frank Cook, the half breedi were held yesterday under $100 bonds for selling liquor to Indians and are now boarding with Sheriff Smith.

News to Us. The following is from the Portland Telegram, and if anybody in Albany knows anything about the matter they will please raise their right foot large excursion party from Albany passed down the river this morning about half-past 10 o'clock. The steamer "Multnomah" was well crowded with excursionists. The boat stopped a short time at Alder street dock and then proceeded on its journey to the Cascades, llie round trip will DC made to day. The excursion is given under the aus plccsofan Albany Sunday School. The Albany band played a number of selec tions as the steamer passed along the wn ter front. A Boom.

Editors Democrat : In weekly Democrat of May 25th an ,tem needs correction, It is true that Halscy has a 000m ; we have a new school house ; we have a new store ; we have a new butcher-shop ; we have a half barrel of whiskey ; but that whiskey had not reached the aforesaid butcher-shop when last heard from.

The only way to destroy the "evils" of the linuor traffic is to destroy the business.

What effect does it have on the manliness of any city to have its streets sprinkled, and its lamps'lighted at the price of the degradation ot the weak ana vicious. LVXXE. Halsey, May 28th, VALiwnLE Water. We are reliably informed that the Albany water works, ditch and mill property could be sold were they not bonded, and could the price be agreed on. This, when developed, will make a good property, and it is to be de sired that before many years the water that comes rushing down from the San tiam may turn the wheels of woolen and ether mills in our city, instead of going into the Willamette with a lazy, almost fruitless splash.
