HTITKS A X I TTIXU, Editors ll 1'ublWlien. Wki.l Said. Of all the cilics of the Willamette valley, none are exhibiting so much push and energy ,orJmaklng so much substantial progress, us Albany, the county scat of I.iun county ; and this is due, not only to its many natural advantages of lo cation and icsourccs, but also to the enter prising and liberal nature of its citizens. No imittcr what may be the natural advan tages of a place, unless a disposition is dis played to utilize them to their fullest ex tent, but little profit will be derived from them. The li istory of the west is full of in stances where towns have gruwn apace and developed Into cities of wealth and commercial importance, though possessing less natural advantages than some one or more of its unsuccessful rivals, simply through the energy, enterprise and united action of its citizens. In a stilt more marked degree has been the progress of cities in which both these elements are found in combination, as there arc in Al bany. In the matter of transportation fa cilities it surpasses any other city In the valley, or, in fact, in the state, save Port land. It has always possessed an outlet by way of the Willamette river, and for fifteen years has had the main line of the Oregon & California road passing through it. Tills road now belongs to the Southern Pacific, and constitutes a portion of the great over land route between Portland and San Francisco, ttie link by which the great southern and northern transcontinental lines are connected on the Pacific coast. Albany also has the Oregon Pacific, which gives it an independcntoutlct to the sc" at Yaquina bay, connecting there witli a reg ular steamer line to San Francisco. This gives the city railroad connection with two ocean ports in Oregon Portland and Ya quina. Farmers from an extended region go to Albany to trade, and send the pro duct of their farms there for shipment. There Is scarcely an advantage of location possessed by any other city which this tli riving place docs not enjoy, while at the same time, it has other advantages peculiar to itself. There is little that one could look for or desire in a thriving Interior city, that may not be found In ample propor tions in this prosperous and most beautiful place, West Shore. Traveling; Snows. It was reported Saturday that the "Wages of Sin" Co. had a big row at Eugene, This was a mistake, but a San Francisco company did though, to their cost, as the following from a Eu gene paper indicates: "The Lewis Morri ion Company, from San Francisco, played to a good audience at Rhinehart's last Fri day evening. They cut out and butchered the play to sjch an extent that its oldest friends did not recogni.e it. The next morning they refused to pay for their breakfast at the Hoffman house on account of not getting off on the morning train which was off time. At the depot they got into a row with Mr. Watkins, who had two of them arretted. It cost one of them $25 and the other $40 to settle with the recorder. They then attempted to get even by having Sir. Watkins arrested for provoke, but the jury acquitted him prompt ly. About the ameunt of the whole mat ter wan they thought they were a big com pany from tne city and thev would just run things in a little town like Eugene to suit themselves, and they got handsomely left and it was good enough for them." Dkadiikads. Editors are generally lassedas deadheads. This word means those who get something for nothing. We deny the charge, and arc getting heartily tired of the appellation. When the editor gets his dollar's or two dollars' worth of tickets for five or six dollars' worth of ad. vertising, and goes early to the box sheet for a good reserved seat, you will always hear ejaculations about his presumption. We are in favor of newspapers establish ing a regular system of charging cash for advertising entertainment and paying cash for tickets. The following item from the live Pioneer of Astoria, is to the point: "We arc getting tired of giving $20 worth of advertising for tw twenty-five cent tickets and then being classed as dead head. The game is mixv' with us hcie after." The Result. John Flstenmacher was a man who lived in Portland. By living a small life, eating shavings with pickets for a relish, hating himself and everybody else, and being miserable generally he managed to accumulate $10,366.49. Then he died, leaving no heirs, and this sum has just been turned over to the state. We often condemn people who take things easy, spend all they get and enjoy them selves; but it is about as good a way as that followed by the Portland miser. We come very close to having a few Fis tenmachers In Linn county. Not you, gen tle reader, for they never take newspapers. IIOHK AND AIIKOAI). Xew shoes at Head's. Six shaves or a dollar at I.

Mr Haley died about five years ago. Mr 0 C McFarland. of Klamath agency arrived in the county this morning on a visit of a couple weeks with relatives and friendr. Hon Jeff Meyers, the great and only Matt Seott, A Farlow, and lots of the boys, are in thecity to-day. They all cry, "enough rain." Mrs Dr Biddle, who has lived in Corvallis a good many years, hfcs gene to Albany to live vith her daughter, Mrs. McFarland. Ltadtr. . The Salem Statesman is soon to receive the genuine associated press disuatches. This is enterprise, and shows "sand" too for the cost is a(large one. Father Van Linn, who hs conducted the Catholio Church, at Corvallis for thirteen years has resigned and to-morrow will leave for other fields, perhaps Albina. Martin Hickman, of fobanon, says he is one nf the immortal band that voted for W H Harrison in 1840. Wonder what that hastodo with the present times. LL Hurd has been granted the exclusive right to operate an electric light plant in Corvallis. We advise that city tn stand in with the enterprise. George Humphrey, Dave Froman, Clay Marshall and Pnil Btltimare, left yesterday for the mountains. They tfok along an im mense amount of salt with which to preserve their game bagged. The latest "cattle queen" of the west is Miss Kitty Wilkins, of Idaho, a tall blonde, 23 years of age,a tine horsewoman and a dead shot. Though called the eattle queen, as a matter of fact horses are her specialty, and she owns no less than eight hundred besides thousands of cattle. Scout. Last fall a party of emigrants passed through Canyon City, and on their waijoo , cover was inscribed in large letters, "Har ney or Bust." This week the same outfit passed in the other direction, and the waqon sheet bore the very snggestiye word, "Bust ed." An attempted, elopement was brought to a sudden finale about two miles east of town, on Wednesday. The proprietor of the team which the would-be hero had hired followed him and requested that he return the team forthwith. Thus ended what would have otherwise been a very good item. Leader.

He Is not a visionary enthusiast, but a cool headed speculator." Am Old Coin. A gentleman in this city hasj a Hebrew coin that was made about 500 years B. C older than many minstrel jokes. It looks as if some mum my.had carried It in his pockets while on a spree for several centuries. It is worth about $50, and is a "daisy."

LOCAL RECORD. Skqi ai. to a Stran'c.e I'bocekdixo. The following from a Salem paper is prob ably a continuation of the Item in the Democrat i.cvcral days ago headed a ''Strange Proceeding.' "On Friday morn ing, July 6th, a woman heavily veiled call ed nt the residence of Mr. Liifolletle, cor ner of Cottage and Marion streets, with a girl baby nbout two days old, and asked him to keep it until someone adopted It. The lady refused to disclose her Identity. She said she was a sister te the mother of the baby, who was unmarried and the father's nnme was also suppressed. The lady said botli parties were well connected and the little mistake was being concealed from the world. She bad made an effort to place the waif In the orphan nsylum but the managers would not receive it because of its age. Mr. Lafollcttc agreed to take it on condition that an advance be made for its keeping. This was done, and the veiled lady left. On Wednesday a gentleman, called and agreed to adopt the little thing He was also a stranger to Mr. Lafollcttc, and the child was turned over to him, as be had the appearance of being a proper person. When the lady left she requested that whoever adopted the child to name it Danie Condon, or Condit. The case is not so much a mystery as it is a secret." Ci.imising Ml. Hood. There Is plenty of gush now-a-days about climbing Mt. Hood. An East Portland paper says : "The as cent of Mt. Hood Is something that any or dinary school girl of fourteen can accom plish. Indeed, quite a number of young ladies have made the "arduous trip." When Perry Vickers alone remained all night on Mt. Hood, about ten years ago, he did a brave thing ; for no one then knew the dangers to be encountered in such an un dertaking. But it was then demonstrated that with proper precautions, It is neither a very dangerous nor a very dillicult mat ter to' illuminate Mt. Hood." As a matter of fact, though, few, if any, have ever been to the real summit of the mountain, and af ter a certain dislancc Is reached the task is a dangerous one, on account of the im mense number of yawning fissures. Cleak Up. In order that the matter may come before our citizens we publish the following notice taken from a post, free, for nothing. Without any foolishness the notice is one that should be respected right away off. As passed by the council, the work was to be done within five days, and we haven't heard of any special session since, but ten days is good enough, just so it Is done so that there will be room for the hose carts In the alleys before the next fire: "Noticels hereby given that all prop erty owners nnd occupants of property in Albany nrc required to remove all rubbish and garbage from their premises and the nlleys adjoining thereto within ten days fiom the date hereof, and In case of fail ure the same will be done by the street commissioner." Dated J uly 1 1, and signed by the commissioner. Careless Men. Last evening a large gentleman in a corduroy suit, with a big load of corduroy whiskey in him, attempt ed to board the overland train just as it was starting out. He missed the railing and fell within 4 Inches of the rails. He was too intoxicated to stir very much and hence lay still, or he would have gone un der the wheels. The affair caused some excitement for a moment or two. The train went on just the same and the cordu roy genllcmnn will follow lo-night. By the way a lot of Ignoramuses continually jeopardise their lives by jumping on the trains when going nt a rapid rate, particu larly when only going to the tank for water. We need nn asylum for some of them. Prospects. The Yaquina Bay coun try has prospects ahead prosably as good as any Western Oregon locality; but the trouble is a great many people over there have been living on prospects and clams until they are about tired out. There U t really very little there now to keep peo ple except these prospects; but it is a fact that the people who grin and hear the pain arc the ones who strike it in the long run. We have a lot ourselves over there some where tint is gradually draining our pockets at the rate of two bits a year. Orkkana Encampment. To-night is the regular meeting of Orgeana Encamp ment. I. O.

"Old man" Miller, who has been on the county for a long time, has caused considerable trouble recently by running away, begging of people and liv ing in an uncertain way generally. This morning lie was brought' to this city by Alex Brandon, was convicted of vagrancy and sentenced to the county jail for days. This will probably fix him so he will be willing to stay with Mr. Morris hereafter, though Mr. Morris is to be congratulated on losing him, a very repulsive looking man. SAY!
