LOCAL RECORD. An Important O. P. Item. The fol lowing from last evening's San Francisco Bulletin makes It look yerjr much as if there is to be some very Important move In con nection with the Oregon Pacific. Should any such move be made as indicated we promise that Albany will take off Its hat and whoop its loudest : "The Oregon Pa cific Is planning to Put on more steamers between this port and Yaquina. Negotia tions are pending, which, if concluded, will be a benefit to that section of the country. There has been a general theory from the first that the Chicago & Northwestern Company was interested in the Oregon Pa cilic,and that some day the two would form a transcontinental line. It is now learned that the matter of backing and connections arc now being considered officially by the directors of the companies. Whether the lines will unite depends upon the decision of a few men, but there is the nest authori ty for the statement that the topic is now bcln,; regarded from a favorable point of view." A Medium. Mr. Bigs, the spiritualis tic medium, Is In the city again, and no doubt several seances will be held, and all It costs is a dollar a to see, no, to feel, the manifestation!, of the spirit. The M. A. T. has met the gentlemen, a nervous, sprightly fellow who looks beyond you, no doubt a powerful medium. But his ideas of womanhood and the family rela tionship arc not quite up to our standard, and, though he might astonish us, he could never gain our confidence so long as he holds the ideas he does on such subjects. Thkir SnitWALKs..-Rccently nfter be ing in Albany a Salem editor poked fun at our sidewalks. It seems that he lives in a g'ass house, judging from the following from a more honest contemporary : "It seems that some property owners In this city have no idea that they arc in anyway amenable to the city laws ; for they con tinue month in and month out, walking over sidewalks in front of their residences, and dodge around to keep on planks that will hold them up, yet tremble every step tor tear tney mignt tall tnrougn. i ins is not the case with one man only ; It is the case with a great many Salem property wners." Home From the Mountain. Mr F M French and his California friend, Mr Close, arrived home to-day fioin the mouutaius. leaving Mr Itedliold at th Malcy home, They report a very enjoyable time, Tiny fished principally and caught a larg-i nuinbor of trout, bat are too modest to nam tho Dumber. Mr French do claim, though, that heoiualit the largest trout everotptured tu Fish lake. It was eighteen inches long and nine in cireumfereuoe, and was a gen nine beauty. Disobkvf.I) tub Chief. The Astoria fire department was called out to a fire in upper Astoria a few days ago and as the conflagration was a little out of the city the Chief Engineer ordered the boys to turn back. But they refused to obey him and went on and succeeded in saving consider able property. This action on the part of the firemen was commended by the press. A Darkey. He is only a knock-kneed, lantern jawed darkey, but when It comes to whistling he can bent Governor Pcnnoy er or V. S. Ladd. His mouth is his stock In trade, his spade and shovel, his axe, his pen. It makes him his living. He Is in Albany and gives exhibitions of his re markable imitative skill in the saloons, takes up a collection, gets a few dollars a day and is probably as happy as Jay Gould with his millions and Incurable dyspepsia, Iteserants. A woman selling buttons and fasteners and a young man with both legs off at the knee, selling three silk hand kerchiefs for 5 cents, have been In the city to-day plving their avocations, or "iiaievcr you call it. This is a iree coun try, and people can buy or not; but it pays to treat all kinds of strangers with decency, lor they may send some one here with a woolen mill" some day. Price of Wheat A great difference of opinion, prevails as to what wheat will start " at. One man says 75 cents ; another 55 cents. It win probably not be over 60 wins, and there are large numbers this jear who will sell early as the prospect of n Increase is not encouraging. MitRtRr.

Young'slarge mer cantile cstublishme.it, at the corner of First and Uroadalhin streets, In this city, and is able to make a favorable report in reference to the same. The construction of tills building was begun last year, and has just been completed under the super vision of Mr. I. F. Conn. This week has been devoted to the moving of Mr. Young's large stock of goods into this building, nnd we are now able to give the result. A glance at the establishment, looking from the winding stairs to the second story, pre sents to view one of the coinpletcst stores in all Its details, in the state of Oregon, not excepting any in Portland, one not only to be proud of by its proprietor, who has spent most of his life in the midst of Linn county people, but as well by Albany peo. pic generally, for It is the construction of such stoics that go to advance a place from a mere village to an important city. The Young block Is two stories high, with a basement. It has a frontage of 48 feet and runs back 102 feet to the alley. The large show windows are enclosed with plate glass and are well ventillatcd. Situated as the store is, it affordsa fine opportunity for the display of goods. A double entrance leads to either side of the principal room. On the left Is the dry goods department. In this it will be noticed that every' avail able space Is used, in the form of drawers, shelves, etc., even under the counters, en abling the carrying of a much larger stock than appearances indicate. The cast side of this department is devoted to piece goods, the west 6ide to hosiery, corsets, gloves, notions, etc. In the center are small tables, set obliquely, covered with show cases and goods of various kinds, a great Improvement on the general cumber some style. Entering from the right is the boot and shoe department, the most com plete in the valley. The goods are kept in labeled boxes and tiers of drawers, on the sides and in the center of the depart ment, so arranged as also to offer seating room for a large concourse of customers. To the rear of this department is the gents furnishing goods department,one that will be made complete in its make up. Entering from Broadalbin Street In the rear and directly connected with the departments mentioned is the grocery and crockery de partment, where uncomplete stock of stand ard groceries is kept. The entrance to this department will provcof great convenience to farmers bringing their produce, etc, to maraci, as wen as to mose wno come to trade generally. An elevator with an en trance from the alley passes through this department from the basement to the sec ond story and will be used principally for lowering and raising goods. Below is the basement, which will be used for general storage, and as well the heating apparatus will be located there, the entire establish ment being heated bypipes running through the building. Between the grocery depart ment and the dry goods uepartment is a very commodious and niceiy arranged of fice. From It sever al speaking tubes pass to different parts of the store, one coming underneath to the warehouse which will be constructed in the rear. Mr. W. E. 1'urrell, the accomplished book keeper will always be found here, assisted by Mr. Phil Goodwin. The piece goods department is Mr. H. M. Thornton s special field. Mr. Curl Luderman has a particular charge over the boot and shoe department, Miss llettie Miller of the hosiery, corsets, etc. Mr. John Althouse of the " groceries and crocKery ware ana Mr. a. k. mcUov ol the warehouse. Ooing up the stairway is the targe room covering me entire area ot the building. Immediately to the right is a neat ladies toilet room. In the rear of the room Is the cloak department, the center is acvotea to extra stock, in front of which is a stationary screen which divides the carpet department from the rest. This is about 40x25 feet, of sufficient dimensions tor tilting carpets to the largest rooms. the carpets, of which a large stock will be Kept, are conveniently arranged in three tiers, in anotner part ot tlie second story is the wall paper department, of which ar ticle a complete stock will be kept. And so all over the large store system is seen displayed In a marked manner. The general appearance is a strikingly at tractive one. The counters nnd baseboards, drawers, etc., are finished In chcrrv, the upper work is white, while the whole is ar ranged so that every department is sup- plied with an abundance of light, entering from the north, south and west, in the day time, and at night emanating from three 2coo-cand!e power arc electric lights, one at the entrance, one in the boot and shoe department and one in the dry goods de partinent located so as to do service as well foe the office and grocery department, these departments Being divided only aoout two thirds of the distance to the ceilng. We have endeavored to give a tair des cription of this large establishment, and yet alter all, a personal Inspection will snow that a written description hardly docs it justice. Mr. Young the proprietor, is thor oughly identified with Albany, and so his new store is a part ot It and one our citi zens are thoroughly interested in. It will be an honor to the city when Its population shall have become 20,000. Rupture Cured. No charges for ex amination or consultation, and a cure guar anteed in every case undertaken or money refunded.

Pout. E T Bsrnott and J N Culp, vbo were re cently released from the penitentiary, it now transpires, wore both in all probability inno cent of the crimes charged against them.

Both aro looking fine. Yesterday Benjamin King, the night driv er, aod Frank Anderson, the night clerk, were arrested for stealing the $10,000 sent from Portland to Astoria by of the Wells, Fargo expieas. They confessed to the crime and returned the money. Rev.

Rominger taking charge of the Congregational church in East Portland. Mrs. Henrietta Brown and Miss E'iz.tbetli Irvine left to-day for Yaquina Bay, where thoy have rented rooms and will sojouru for several weeks. We commend them to the tender mercies of the denizens of the country aud the clams and deep sea fish. Thoy were accompanied by Elliot Irviuo and Stanley scewart. The Oregon report to the State Weath er Review his the following in reference to Linn county ; "Notwithstanding the cessive precipiation very little damage hu been done to crops, ai.d mat enryto na7 which is ready to cnt. ah grain is promis ing finely, ana small fruits abundant. Apples are mm in some localities, to otners very roou; pears are nne.' The Astoria Pioneer always contains some thing worth stealing, one of the highest compliments Itist can Da paid newspaper.

Any o.ie who would raise his toe against the weather of the past week would be de serving of annihilation by the crematory process. We are proud of our Oregon climate anyway. Take it all the yearround it probably has no equal anywhere. The Man About Town regrets to see an craof Sunday excursions inauguaratcd in Oregon. This is not such a fast world but people if they will, can get enough time for such things week days j hut the truth is, in most cases, they arc a money making af fair. Excursions of all kinds pay the rail roads the most, in fact thev are an immense JMii.i; uimuimu. The Man About Town has observed that it takes all kinds of people tomake up the world j perhaps you have never fully got ten hold of that slippery fact. Bear train ers. School teaebprft. nntnnt Aiinn a" 'ave their turn, and have attracted our attention this week. Now the bear man may be a lazj kind of a fellow, but those we have seen coudn't write-editorials, nor clerk in a store, teach school, nor even chop wood well. In fact they were cut out to live with bears. A Bear show is a novelty in One's life. a rhnnun nnt a .,.,...!.. , .... something it will not hurt the public to see occasionally and pay for. .We think the following from the Lebanon Express is not a correct idea of the situation, else we would have our hands full of rotten egg business : "Some traveling showmen with two bears performed on the street last even ing. The bears did their part well. Peo ple should not encourage these lazy fel lows by giving them money. Stale eggs or hard bricks would be more appropriate." Beinii Tried We mentioned a few days ago a puilitio contest on Sunday between a Lebanon Chiuaman aud Charley Miller, son of Hon It C Miller, in which the Celestial rt-ceived a sever? blow on liU arm. The Lebanon justice refused to have anything to do with the matter, so it wi brought to this city, and young Miliar vas arrested by an Albany constable. The cue wnsset fur one o'clock, bat wis uot bruuu until the arrival of the 3 o'clock Ibauon train, aid was bein tried at the time of goiog to press. Tho case arose from a little watwr being jokingly sprinkled on the Celestial, something a white man would have put up with with a laugh; but the Celestial, as usual, showed his great dignity and. got mad. Sometimes it is all rihgt if he does, but not in every little mat-tor. Hotel Arrivals, The Yaqoixa Excursion. The excur sion to Yaquina bay next Sunday will cost only the small sum of $2, the cheapest yet given. The train will leave Albany at 6:30 a. M. and Yaquina City at 6:30 p. m., givicg excursionists about eight hours at the bay. Tickets for sale at G L Blackman's. Tick ets on sale on the train for rbnnd trip from Yaquina to Newport and return, 15 cents. Schooner Mischief will bs in waiting to take all out over the bar that wish to go. Dr. Porterville Dr. Portervillc, the famous rupture specialist, comes to this city with the highest endorsement of the pess where he has practiced, and we would auvise all our friends who may be in need of service of that character to apply to the doctor at once. His past success is a guar antee of his future usefulness. Revere House.
