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.

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.

Vaooed. "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.
