The Casnkry. The Willamette Pack
ing Company will buy all the black berries
that arc brought to their cannery. This
firm pays cash for everything and allow
people to trade wherever they please. The
cannery, notwithstanding some difficulty to
obtain as much fruit as Is desired is having
a successful season. This fall another large
building will be erected and it is expected
to probanly more than double the business
next year. This will create an increased
market for all kinds of fruits and many
vegetables, and our farmers should prepare
to meet the demand. No country in the
world is better adapted naturally to fruit
raising, and now that we nave a progress
ive cannery should do more than meet its
demands. Bonuses are demanded for so
many things now-a-days that one is almost
necessary in order to have an institution
appreciated. All this institution has asked
is the bonus of the good will of the people
and it is entitled to their support.
For Oregon. State Superintendent He
Elroy arrived in the city last night, The
Professor has been doing some remark
ably active work f jr Oregon as well as for
pur educational institutions. Most of the
Eastern teachers passing through here are
doing so at his suggestion, and the impres
sion they are obtaining of our fair State is
a good one. We should help them on.
Friday a large number will pass through
Suppose we deluge them witli apples,
prunes, berries, etc., so that they will have
a particularly good impression of Albany.
At a nominal cost we can feast them on
our fruits. A prominent Oregonian says
to-day Albany has the brightest prospects
of any city in the State beside Portland, and
we must show our hand on every occasion,
If we would help push things upward.
The Pardon Business, Governor
Pennoyer to-day commuted the sentences
of three prisoners of the penitentiary. Wm
Peek, who who was sentenced from Mult
nomah county, Sept. 27th, 1SS6, for five
years for larceny in a store, on the recom
mendation of the district attorney, and in
consideration of the severity of the sen
tence. Aug. Schultz, who was sentenced
fram Clackamas county April 23rd, i888,to
five years for arson. The reason in this
case was a grave doubt as to his guilt, bas
ed upon the fact that all persons upon
whose testimony he was convicted, have
subsequently made affidavit that their testi
mony in the case was false. In this sort of
a case, a pardon is a hollow mockery. S.J.
Kitchens, sentenced to five years from
Polk county for an assault with Intent to
commit rape, commutation based on the
recommendation of the district attorney,
and grave doubts as to his guilt, Journal.
Plums. Plums are about the first thing
that attracts the attention of the new com
er, and the last that of the old settler. They
area scarce article in most places In the
East, Here they will almost grow on a
post. In the yard of Mr. Viercck near
here is a small tree that has broken and
fallen to the ground on account of the im
mense load of plums it has been carrying.
The stranger passing by pauses and looks
at it with wonder, and remarks at the great
frultfulncss of everything here.
Campaign Hats. The Oregonian claims
to have settled this matter of plug cam
paign hats. It says the democratic hat is a
pearl plug with a white band; the rcpub.
hat, pearl plug with a black band. There
is such a confusion over the matter that
you can't tell what a man's politics is by
his hat anyway.
Onk Tiiino.- -However much the Will
amette valley papers may disagree on poli
tics and a few other minor matters, there
is one thing they are solid on to a unit, and
that is that this valley has the making of
the best fruit country in the world, and
we propose a general 'and continued push
forward together on this line.
Errata. The Celestial arrested yester
day for larceny left his $100 greenback at
Fritz Huffman's restaurant, and not with
Mr. Joseph as stated, lie is a cook at
Huffman's. In the Star brewery row It
was Eddy who was fined and not Clark ;
but we d.1 not see as it makes much differ
ence which one of the five had the fine
fastened on him.
Twenty-Sixth. Last evening several of
the neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs.
W. C. Twccdale gave them a surprise par
'y at their pleasant homo on Washington
street, in honor of the twenty-sixth anni
versary of their wedding. It was an In
formal' but enjoyable affair, much appre
ciated by all who participated In It.

A Sai Case. To-day, Mrs. Nellie M,
Holmes, wife of Mr. E. B. Holmes, of
Shedd precinct, was brought to this city,
and examined before Drs. G. W. Maston
of this city, and Gaff, of Shedd, on a conv
plaint of insanity. They found that,
though her mind was not in a healthy con
dllbn, she was not a fit subject for the asy
lum, and she was discharged. Mrs, Holmes
is a young woman of about twenty-four.
Sometime ago a child died, the loss of
which affected her mind, bringing on sev
eral insane spells. Her father, Rev. T. J.
Wolfe, also died several days ago, adding
U her great sorrow. Mrs. Holmes is nat
urally a very bright woman, and, with good
treatment and pleasant associations, when
her great sorrow wears off, will, we hope,
be herself again.
Void. Judge Benn on Monday decided
that the contract for the construction of the
Benton county jail was void, on the follow -ing
grounds : "The statute of the State
confers upon the County Court authority
to construct jails and at the same time pro
vides, 'that before it enters Into any such
contract, shall give notice by advertisement
published in some newspaper of general
circulation in the county for at least three
weeks before the time for letting the con
tract, etc' The mode being the measure
of power under the authority above citied,
the contract in this case, not having been
let as provided by statute is void."

authority for the statement that Isaac My
man, has withdrawn his bet with I). B.
Montclth on the result of the coming elec

the announcement it continues the item.
Mr. Hyman is invited to explain the mat
ter. Mr. Monteith says this Is a fact, and
gives as Mr. Hyman's reasons that he
wanted Mr. Monteith to deposit coin in
stead of a note and that he was tired of the

The Democrat at the present time has no
comments to make.

A certain firm dealing in picture frames
under the name of Ottnat & Fjb, located at
1105 and 1107 Market street, San Francisco,
are Bunding circulars throughout the country
asking for photographs for enlargement,
promising to make you a full life size crayon
portrait, free of charge. This firm has re
cently been proven a bilk by one of our citi
zens who accepted their proposition but
could get no life size portrait without psying
them a sufficint price for making tho por
trait and still giying them a bandsome profit
on their frames. To those who have ie
ceived circulars yoa can depend they, the
said firm, will never live np to what they
promise in their circulars, tbey are only try
ing to get a "bite."
Messrs. A. Jack Adams, president of the
Trinity Mining Corporation, and W. W.
Stevenson, returned from their mines in the
Blue Kiver Distriot last -week, and will leave
again for the mines Thursday of this week.
They are very much encoaraged over their
prospects. All mining interests held by our
citizens in that and the Calipooia District are
on the look np. Owen Osborn sold to Ans
low Young Saturday a one-half interest in
an extension of the "Emma" in the Blue
Kiver District furtive hundred dollars. Con
siderable work is being done now and we
soon hope to see a mill in operation at the
mines and some returns coming to the pockets
of those who are out of pocket so much
hunting out those mines.
We cannot refrain from noting the fact
that every defender now of the republican
party's high protection plank, whether
through the newspaper or the mouth, assert
that the "free trade" Mill bill will enable
England to kill our infant industries. Ac
cording to the Oregonian we are to have
free trade in wool and lumber only and leave
the manufacturers protected, yet that paper
continually trys to show the people that
Eoglaad would ruin til our industries. Let
ns take wool and woolens and see bow they
stand now and the effect of the Mills bill.
If protection does the wool grower the good
they assert, instead of wool being worth 16
cents here now our mills will bay It for i I
cents or about two-thirds the present price.
England under free tiade gets her wool for
two thirds of what we do, pays lest for her
labor and all kinds of material, consequent
ly is not only able to driye onr manutctnr
ing industries entirely out of foreign porta,
and imports into this country about $44,000,
000 worth of woolen goods annually. But
suppose the tariff' is to modified at to give
too manufacturers of our country at cheap
material of ail kinds at those of England get,
except labor, and then give our manufacturers
40 per oent. protection, which is pretty near
enough to pay the entire labor in our woolen
mills twice, and then how it England going
to hurt onr manufacturing industries? OUr
papert are continually quoting from the
English press te scare the people into the
idea, that England wilt ruin our industries
if the Mills bill becomes law in the face of
tuch facts. How prupotterous. Surely they
think the common people very foolish in
deed. Does England produce wool and lum
ber? Every one that has given the subject
moment's thought must knowthat tho present
bill would be the greatest kind i f a boon to
our manufacturers. It would benefit the
laborer and farmer too, for instead of paying
a tribute of 60 per cent, he will have only 40
per eent to pay for hit woolens, and by keep
ing out English woolen goods, as it certainly
will, give our mills more steady runt and
thus increase the demand, consequently the
price of laser. One of its best measures,
however, it the one that relieves the farm
era' grain bag from a 2 cent tax, thus virtual
ly bringing the over-taxed farmer one cent
more per bushel for hit wheat by lessening
the tax on his product. This is one feature of
the bill we have failed to notice at being
brought out by our republican paper men.
We propose to look up tome of these matters
between now and votiug time.

Change ok Time In addition to what
the Democrat said several days ago In
reference to a change of time on the South
ern Pacific Is the following from a San

Nothing-In It. As suggested by the
Democrat there was nothing at all In the
Item generally published that an opium
smuggler had entered Yaquina Bay. In
the first place there was nothing tangible
to lead one to believe anything of It. Just
a strange little craft entered the Bay, that
was all.
