LOCAL RECORD. Hui'hK IIlkni:i at Si.io. I'rom Mr. Daly, who arrived in the city tills morning, we learn the particulars of the burning of the resilience of Dr. J. L. Martin, of .Scio. About 9 o,clock Wcdncsduy evening Mr. Daly was going home when he discov ered a fireln Dr. Martin's shed. The resl- encc was located on the east side of Fioina creek, and Mr. Daly was on the opposite side. He gave the alarm, which was promply responded to by the fire men. The hose, when laid, proved to be illy feet too short. Then It was nttached Urectly to the Mill hydrant and a man swam the creek witli It, but the hose came apart in the middle of the stream. A stream was linally obtained In time to save the doctor's barn ; but the house was cn- tirely consumed with a small part of the doctor's furniture, together with some be longing to l'rof. l.onsway, which had been stored there. Had the hose been long enough the house could have been savcl. 1 he loss was about Suoo. ihc house, which was one of the best in tiie city, was worth $'or$ioan, and the furniture lost, about $ioo. There was no insurance car ried. Is Calu'oRNIA. Mrs. O. S. Pollock, of the College, is now doing California, get. ting strength for her next years work in the College. In a letter of July 30th, dated at San lose she writes as follows : "I am here visiting friends and seeing the coun try and enjoying Its fruit. I will be at Santa Cruz, Monterey, Los Angeles and os- finite, but mv headouarters will be San Jose, until September 1st, when I will re turn to lacksonvllle. I enjoyed the Na tlonal Educational Convention immensely. Il wns a grand national rally. The Oregon headquarters were attractive and most handso mely sustained by Supt. McElroy and his assistants. I was proud of my adopted State and her exhibits. I returned to San Francisco Sunday to hear preach, lllshop A. V. Wilson, of the Southern Methodist Church, who sails for Japan on the stea.ncr of to-day to superintend our mission work there and in China. The liishop made a grand anu forcible presen tation of the text "Crucify Him." In a few days I am to have the pleasure ef giing to Mt. Hamilton and having a look through the great Lick telescope. A Cmcus Tkst Collapses. Tuesday while exhibiting at Ccntcrville the tent of McMahan's circus entirely collapsed. The big show had just concluded, and the con cert had commenced when the accident happened. A good many people had re mained In the tent, but It luckily fell in such a manner that on one' was hurt. The audience got mixed up promiscuously with tent-ropes and poles, pulleys, trapezes, clowns, etc., nut on disentangling the com bination it was discovered that not a soul was seriously injured. The wreck was soon cleared up, the audience went home "pleas cd and satisfied," and the great circus pro ceeded on its way. Several Changes. Conn Brothers, have rented the Tate store next west of Stewart & Sox's and will move Into the same on the 14th of this month. The Sail marsh store vacated by them, together with the second floor has been rented by Mr. H. Dierks at $60 a month, who will fit it up and start a restaurant during the month. Mr. Diercks will retire from the Revere House restaurant on the iolh Inst., when Mr. I'feiffcr will assume control of it and run the hotel on the American plan. Mr. Pfeiffer had the reputation of setting about the best table of any hotel In the Val ley and may be depended on todo so In the future. A Strange Incident. We have just learned of a very peculiar incident that happened at Weston several weeks ago. A lady of that city, a sister of Miss Hattie Reynolds who lived with Mr. J. L. Cowan, of this city for several years, was lying III at her home In that city. One day she told her sister and husband that she was going to die In about a week on a certain day at 5 o'clock In the morning. Sure enough when the time came she passed away at the exact hour named. This is vouched tor and certainly is a very strange experience. Committee. The Committee to con sider the application ef the San Francisco gas works company, for a franchise in this . city met at the office of Hon. J. K. Weath erford last evening. Mr. Weatherford was instructed to correspond In reference to the matter and report at a called meeting. No Likelihood. There Is no likelihood at all that the Postodice building bill before Congress, will pass. Should It get through Albany would get a building not to exceed $15,000 In value ; but the opposition to it is such that It stand no chance of passing. Bio Oat Yield. Mr. A. II. Howard, residing across the river, In Benton coun ty, has been threshing his oats, and reports a yield of over oo bushels to the acre. Mr. Howard says he has heard of such yields before, but never believed the reports until he had the experience himself. Predictions. The Democrat predict that Albany will have a woolen mill In side of two years ; that It will be the dis tributing point for Western Oregon of a transcontinental line from coast to coast within three years; that Its population will be doubled beforethe end of 1890. How Far. The rails are now laid bti the line of the Oregon Pacific, twenty-four miles beyond Albany, to a position nearly opposite Stayton. The road has been graded about fifteen miles beyond that place, besides small patches In the moun tains near Clear lake. I am now receiving my spring and summe 1 Crest souls. Call early and wears harga ne W. F. Read. A Stolen Horse. Mr. Kennedy, the agent for threshing machines, went up to his home in Linn county, Saturday, south of Stayton, and informs the Sucmmtn that the horse stolen from Alex Montgomery on the 15th of July returned home about the 26th, showing evidence of very hard usage. The theory generally accepted in that neighborhood is that young McVay, who stabbed his brother in Benton county, went that way in his flight and "borrowed" the animal to hasten his exit. This belief obtains strength from thofact that McVay worked in the neighborhood last winter and was well acquainted there. It is supposed that when turned loose the young mare made her way back without assistance over the same road. Atatseman. The Scio Branch. The citizens of Scio held their adjourned railroad mectin, the first of the week and made a formal contract with the Oregonian Railroad Co. for the building of a brancn to that city, The attendance was large. The cstitmated cost of the road was given as $1700. Dur ing the meeting $1200 was raised and the balance has since been subscribed to within a few dollars. Ed Coins nut his name down for $300 ; Hon Wil liam Cyrus, $ioo ; Peter Smith, $100 Peter Uilyeu, $100 ; D Meyers, $100, and others in smalleramounts. Bids were im mediately advertised for fordoing the grad ing, furnishing and laying the ties and building the bridges, either separately or all together, and will be opened to-morrow ai 1 v t-ivijt i. 111., wiicii 111c (.uiiuaib hiii be let. Scio is showing ver commenda ble enterprise in this matter, and it will count in the long run. Dancing. The following In reference to the manner in which dancing Is viewed in Japan will be of interest to the citizens of our more civilized country : The Em peror of Japan has a very poor opinion of dancing. TheTokio Dempo relates that recently a Minister of State, while in audi ence, touched upon the subject of dancing, whereupon his majesty expressed the pin ion that the prevalence of such a voluptu ous custom was a sure indication of the de cay of the nation. The minister,therefore, upon retiring gave orders to those engaged in the construction of the new palace to dismantle the dancing saloon in the new building, which was already cempleted. Sweet Home F. to. Rumbaugh down from Sweet Home. He informs us that travel over the Wagon Road is light. A good many hunters are in the moun tains and some deer are being killed. Mr. Turner, at one time with Mr. Mcllwaim had killed five. The boy Minnace, who was snot in the head about a month ago, aiea several days ago, lust twenty-tw days alter being shot, lie showed won derful vitality, but not enough to stand the damage to his brain. TUB OltKdON PACIFIC As anticipated from recent reports of conferences between the O. P. and N. W. managers work Is to be resumed on tiie ex tension of the Oregon Pacific eastward to Boise City within a few days. Mr. Abe Hacklcman, who was in Corvallis yester day, arrived home in the afternoon and re ported this as a fact, though he could give no definite information in reference to the arrangement. The road has been built so much with limited means that we cannot tell what the present program will be until efinite information Is obtained in reference to the backing of the company, but a certain amount of work is to be done this fall, nough so that next spring it can be lushed with vigor, and there Is strong rea sons to believe from such reports as we can get that the company is making ar rangements by which tho money will be coining for this purpose. No road has ever been built under more disadvantages, and even if they are continued until Boise City is reached, we will "get there all the same." It is not only hoped but there are strong grounds to believe that from now on work will proceed on the road in a man ner not yet seen. A gentleman connected with tne road saiu ne was not ui iioeny 10 tell what he knew; but he knew enough to believe that Albany would double its popu lation in two years on account of the push int will DC made eastward. Manaecr William M. Hoag arrived in the city this noon, and In company with Mr. Abe Hacklcman took special train and went to the front, where they were met by Contractor Brink in a carriage. Mr. Hoag and Mr. Brink continued on over the line of the road, while Mr. Hackleman returned to the citv. He Informed a Democrat man that after talking with Mr. Hoag he could state it as an assured fact that work will be pushed at an early date, and between thirty and fifty miles of road will be built this fall beyond tne present tcrminous 01 tne track laid, which would take the road the present season fifty to seventy-five miles beyond Albany, ine contract win De let lor 011 ferent parts of the work as soon as Mr. Hoag looks over the ground and takes In the situation. Mr. Brink, who has some of a plant alreadv, will probably be an ac tive bidder. Mr. Hoag informed Mr. Hack leman that the old indebtness will be en tirely paid off at an early date, the 16th of this month has been given to the Demo crat as the time, and an attache of the road says there is every assurance that hereafter prompt payments will be made every month, f rom this on until tfoise City is reached we may look for continued operations along tne line 01 tneuregon ra- cine. HOME AND ABKOAI). Huntsville, W. T. Our Huntsville correspondent says: "Messrs. Willard & Wilt had a new thresher burned in the field last week. The machine was a new one, on trial for the first. The agent agreed to lose one-third, and Willard Wilt the other two-thirds. Besides thl Willard & Wilt lost some five hundred bushels of wheat, part of it threshed and part In the stack. The machine was worth $1000. Friction caused the fire. Two Women. Two California women are about to do Southern Oregon. They are accompanied by a large dog which they call Sullivan. They carry pistols and blankets and sleep wherever night over takes them. They now propose to travel over the southern part ef the state, with the avowed object of writing a bonk. They refuse to tell whence they came, but some say they are residents of San r rancisco. Sold His Interest. Last evening Mr. J. H. Burkhart told hit Interest In the job office of Burkhart & Royce, to hit brother. C. G, Rurkhart, who has assumed contra of It with Mr. Rovce. Mr. C. G.
