LOCAL RECORD.
I'iitatuks. -The Marion county papers
are having a fierce quarrel over tlic ques
tion of the condition of the potato crop.
Here is the last from the Appnil : "The
Capital Journal displays its ignorance on
the matter pertaining to the farm when it
says that the potato rot as spoken of In the should see that such a rule is 'observed in
Appeal is all "bosh." We have examined reference to their children.
this crop to our own entire satisfaction and ,.. . ....
find the report correct. The liurkanks ,,,K ' ',EK AV.-Saturday night
seedling variety seems to be worse affected about two o'clock the next morning Mr.T.
than any other' kind ; the tubers when cut 1 L. Wallace discovered a man prowling
1 iik .Scio Hrancii. The mcctlngcalled
to be held at Scio Friday evening by the
citizens of Scioto consider the proposition
of the Orcgonian R. R. Co. to build a
branch road was postponed until the pro
posed route shall have been surveyed. A
meeting to be called st any time by chair
man of the enterprise. Mr EJO'Conncr
the County Surveyor, left this morning for
Hclo to make a preliminary survey of the
ioiuc. The propoiition of the Company is
mat inc cmens ot ."clo snail survey the
route, grade the road and lay the ties. The
Company offers to lay and furnish the rails
and then to abandon the West Scio station,
and make Scio the telegraph station and
poslollice, giving that city all the trains
that run on the road, a privilege that will be
a great one for Scio.
DkownkI). From Mr. Chapman, of
Scio, we learn the particulars of a drown
ing affuir in Thomas Creek, near that city
yesterday. The nineteen year old son of
Mr. Eads, or Fountain, was in bathing
alone, a couple little boys being on the
bank of the creek watching him, when he
suddenly got into water over his head, and,
being unable to sw im well, strangled and
disappeared. The boys notified the near
est neighbor and the body of the unfortu
nate young man was recovered after some
search. Right here it may be remarked
that no one, however good a swimmer,
should ever go in bathing alone, and parents
open display a black speck In the center
with yellowish streaks running through
the potato, denoting that they are affected
with some disease."
Idkntii'ikii. The statement is now
made that the remains found at North
Powder, in Hukcr county, have been posi
tively identified as those of Willis Skiff. A
dentist and another person who had occas
ion to examine Mr. Skiff's teeth a short
ime before his disappearance, made the
identification, ft is probable that certain
persons will be arrested, as the absence of
the body is all that prevented the convic
tion of the persons tried for the crime.
OrR Rksorts. A large number of
campers are already scattered around Soda
villc and some at Waterloo. . The number
attending these places on Sunday particular
yis very large. The soda water, a splen
did beverage when taken directly from the
springs and good even when bottled, added
to the cool mountain breezes, makes both
of these places very desirable for summer
resorts, and many prefer them to the sea
side. Should the railroad be continued to
Sodavillc it would become one of the most
frequented resorts in the state.
Tiik Ecmpsk. The eclipse of the moon
came off last night as advertised, which
proves that it pays to advertise, for a large
number took extra pains to see the free ex
hibition. Doors were opened at 6:44, but
the show proper did not begin until about
an hour later. At 10 o'clock the earth
was fairly between the sun and moon and
the lights were all out, making it as fine an
opportunity for sparking as passing
through a tunnel. An eclipse of the moon
is an Interesting sight because not very
common. It is not qnitc as awful as an
eclipse of the sun ; but it does pretty well
for a heated summer evening.
Wheat Remaining About 18,000 bush
els of wheat remain In the Albany Fann
ers' warehouse unsold, and In the face of
the fact that most of the slorers will
have to pay double storage, the time being
up a few days ago. That seems sort of a
poor policy to us. Those who have a regu
lar time for selling, except, uncommon cir
cumstances surround them, arc the ones
who make in the long run.
Business Chance. Saturday e.ening
Mr. Milt Miller sold his drug business in
this city to Dr. L. W. Guise, lecently of
Kansas. Mr. Guise left yesterday for his
former home after his family, leaving his
on here in charge of the business. Dr.
Guise also purchased the house and lot of
Mr. H. Flindt adjoining that gentleman's
family residence. Mr. Miller will be
come a disciple of Blackstone.
Exercise. Albany young ladles and
small boys go in bathing In the Ditch. For
exercise it is simply Immense. The swift
current makes Ita bumplty-bump business
that brings Into play all the muscles of the
system, particularly those controlling the
tongue. The person who sccessfully makes
the transit from Montelth's pasture to
Broadalbin street ought to be able to wash
clothes or fight Sullivan.
Woi-ld Like Him. Prof. Coomer, who
has so ably led the II. A. C. band, of Salem,
for several years, contemplates leaving
that city. Prof. Coomer Is by odds the
hest cornctlst as well as leader In Oregon,
ami we suggest If Salem docs not keep
him that an effort be made to bring him
to Albany, where there Is material for a
"m-ciass band.
Ii'R Cream Festival. A supper and
cream festival accompanied with a
musical concert, by the Tangent Brass
"and, will be given at Tangent on Satur
day night, July 28th, under the auspices of
he lady friends of the band. Admission,
utiuu
ing concert, supper and Ice cream 35,
TK Small Boy. The Albany boy now
glories In a. curious little contrivance, the
"lea for which he secured from an Eastern
PPer. It is made of a plain pine slick,
hlch Is notched, and a round piece of
card hnlrH nlnna,i .1.. II.. v.,M.lnA

around his house. With revolver In hand.
Mr. Wallace opened the door and asked the
visitor what he wanted. Instead of ans
wering he started on a run. He wasorder
ed to halt, but failing to do so Mr. Wallace
fired more to frighten him than to hit him
with the former result, for the fellow ran
and bounded over the fence like a deer,
disappearing around a house. Cold lead is
the proper thing for these midnight maraud
ers who refuse to account for their conduct,
and it is to be honed some of them will ijet
hit. ' h
JJask Ball. A base ba'l tournament in
Oregon Is a great thing and as rare as an
eclipse, hence we keep track ot the one be
ing held at Baker City. Saturday the re
sult was as follows: LuGrantle and Pen
dleton, i8 to loin favor of Pendleton. Bak-
City vs. Nortli Powder, five innintrs.
Score: 10 to 8 in favor of Baker City ; and
uoise uy vs. L,aiirancle. Score: II to
4 tn favor of I.aGrnnde. To-day's pro
gram is Boise City vs. Pendleton in the
lorenoon, and Uakcr City vs Pendleton in
the afternoon.
Took Him Up. A shoe black drummer
undertook to sell Ike Patterson, of Gilbert
Si Patterson, a bill of b acking, Friday.
Patterson in a bantering way, agreed to
give an order, to be paid after Cleveland
was elected. The drummer took thcordcr
too quick. Patterson is telling his friends
that lie got the blacking for nothing, but
he will be so well polished off on the 6th of
November that Gilbert will be able to use
him for a looking glass. Vidette.
Wants to Bet W. A. Scog,jin, the
ex-Councilman Saturday informed a Port
land .Veiw reporter that he had received
an order from a Montana capitalist to bet
$lo,oob or $io,ooo that Cleveland will be
elected, or to bet the same sum that the
Democrats will carry New York. Mr.
Scoggln is ready therefore to take a few
Dots tram tnose wnotccl like risking their
money. Here is a chance for Mr. Vance
and some of the other Albany gentlemen
who have plenty of cash to risk on the re
sult. Yaquina Bay. The '-Willamette Val
ley" arrived over the bar yesterday with a
good passenger list and a large shipment
of freight. The shipment of freight was
particularly quite large, considerable being

$8000 at five per cent. Interest in two Port

tise, for nothing, a missing tithing boat.
Then he walked up to the court hense oorner
tn get on the street ear, so he could ride two
blocks further for the five cents, that it ia

pany out of. The same man came in last

get, and others are leaving everything. The
situation it indeed a gloomy one. -il. O.
