LOCAL RECORD.
A Private Picnic At a recent meet
ing of the Oregon City board of trade, the
board discussed at length the advisability of
asking the Southern 1'acllic Railroad Com
pany to put on local trains from Salem, or
some other point, so as to accommodate
the Oregon City passenger traffic. The
idea prevailed that the community and
others along the line would be well served
by starting a train from Salem at 6 a. m.
to arrive at Portland at 8 a. m'., then return
atioa. tn., reaching Salem at u a. m.
Leaving Salem again at I p. in. to reach
Portland at 3 p. m. and return at 5 p. m.,
reaching Salem at 7 p. m. daily. Journal.
This looks as if our neighbors down the
road were trying to get up a little railroad
picnic party of their own. If there is
going to be any extra trains Albany is the
proper terminus, not because it is Albany,
but because it is the outlet for many sec
tions of the Valley, and would double the
amount of business. Albany people also
would like the advantage of return tickets.
Hut we predict there is not much danger
at present of an accommodation train.
Lots ok Work. Twelve or fifteen men
arc at work on the St, Charles hotel. Car.
penters, brickmasons, plasters, painters and
laborers being busy. The job is a large one ;
but when completed a good hotel building
will be the result. Nearly twenty men are
at work on the Koshay & Mason and Twee
dale block, and vc understand some one
has figured it out that it takes over a gross
of pills a day to pay the druggists share of
the wages paid. Nearly as many men are
at work on the Strahan and Pearce Block
which will be pushed with a rush. These
all make a lively appearance on r'irst St.
Piles of brick along the street put a lively
appearance into matters. Albany's pros
perity this summer is a reliable one.
Lauiie Stewart i. Sox have just ic
' ceived the biggest shipment of iron that ever
' came to Linn couuty. Bctwoeu twenty
and thirty thousand pounds of round, square,
flat and band iron is now stored away iu
their warelouae. On account of their largo
invoices of goods they are doing a good
j wholesale business all through this part ef
the valley. Business men in neighboring
places oan do as well, if nut better, for their
rents are cheaper with them than at Port
land, and the freight is less. This city is
bound to develop mto a wholesale center in
time. Its location and facilities point strong
ly that way
A Sensible Way. Ilecuutly a rich Culi
' foruia bachelor visited his sister-in-law, re
siding a few miles from Albauy. The guod
lady is a widow, and while hero the gentle
man learned that a mortgage of $2000 hov
ered over her property. This he good ca.
turcdly paid otf and presented his sister-in-law
with a receipt for the same. Ho said he
didn't know of suy better way to spend his
money, aud he was about right. There are
- too many men in this world who wait till
. after they uie, and then let the lawyers run
things.
Divorce Papers Instead There was
a man named Hrooks, says a Salem paper
' who claimed to reside at 4S6 High street,
this city, went to Lafayette, a few days
since, where his wife was visiting her
, father, to bring that personage (his wife)
back home. Arrived there, his father-in-law
drove him off the place with a shot
f" run. lie went to McVlinnvillc to secure
cgal aid but was unsuccessful on account
of having no money, and returning to La
fayette, was served with divorce papers.
i A Condition. The lights were low,
the hour was late, the popping time had
' come ; and, gazing idly nt the grate, her
love sat chewing gum. She asked him if
he'd always go to Conn Brothers, In this

carry only fresh goods and do business on
the square. It is needless to say the match

Guilty. Smith Cox, who Is in the city
to-day, admits the accusations made
against him in reference to building a
house on his Santiam farm ; hut does not
seem to be very well posted about its use.

Saturday Nu.iit. During the week
our farmers and merchants and everybody
had the wits frightened out of them almost
by a very wet rain storm that came with
out any help from the weather flag. It
only lasted one night though, and has been
followed by as good weather as the most
sagacious farmer could have planned him
self. ...A tramp medicine man, with a
scaly looking dog cart and tired looking
horse, was In the city this morning, and
was duly interviewed by the M. A. T. who
found that he had a medicine that would
cure diphtheria, catarrh, rheumatism, etc.,
etc., one that he thought out all himself. It
had cured him of all these diseases, and he
knew, and all he asked was a dollar a bot
tle, It Is to be hoped ine one will buy,
sohecanbjv a new pair of shoes.... A
deaf and dumb man has been in the city
during several days with a patent kerosene
enn and blacking imisn and nox-hoiucr.
He seems to possess the virtue of at least
perseverance and sells an article that does
more than some do, speaks for Itself.
A Tacoma Marvel. Tacoma is some.
what excited over a very remarkably form
ed little girl, about who.n the Ledger, of
that city speaks as follows : "One of the
greatest marvels ever witnessed in this city
was to be seen at the olfice of Dr. McCoy
last evening. It is a prodigy which has
puzled all the doctors and scientists that
have made it a study. This wonder is Lily
May Dowdcn, the child contortionist, a
daughter of David Dowdcn. All the joints
of her limbs and body, with the exception
of the elbow joints, arc so constructed that
they will work in any way. The fingers
are as readily bent backward as forward,
and the hands, feet and legs can be turned
and bent in any conceivable, airection. She
can stand and without moving her feet,
turn the body and look in any direction.
She is now but 6 years old, and Mr. Dow
den has been offered $75 in gold to allew
her to go on the stage at the Casino for
half an hour, but refused it."
IIoi-s. The Willamette Valley Hop
Growers' Association held a meeting in
Salem yesterday afternoon at the office of
W, J. Hcrren. About thirty hop-growers
from various parts of the Valley were pres
ent The rate of picking hops was fixed at
40 cents per box of fifty pounds. Arrange
ments were made by which the members
of the association will receive, weekly,
through the Secretary, the latest reports
concerning the condition of the hop mark
et and crop prospects. Cloth for baliing
purposes will also be bought through an
agent. A gentleman from Eugene, who
was present, stated that he would make an
effort to organize a branch association.
The association adjourned to meet at the
same place Saturday, August nth.

FniK Alarms. The number of fire alarms

Haying. Farmers tell us that hay was

it damaged what was down and had begun

Bean opened the ballot boxes and re-counted

decision in perhaps ten days .
