Grang. er, who mysteriously disappeared from Brownsville several years ago, is in Seattle, where he is attending to his business of house moving. The Urownsville corres pondent of tht Lebanon paper gives the following history of the case : "In the spring of 18S4 J. E. Granger, a contractor, house mover and carpenter, was for the time residing with and on the farm of ). P. Dcpcw, located in the hills near Oak Creek. Mr. Granger was about to purchase the farm of IX I'. Depcw, having it is stat ed paid a certain amount of money down and giving a mortgage for the balance, af ter which lie departed for Albany, where he remained a number of days, eventually returning to the Depew farm, and com plaining of ill health he remained for some days, principally in the room he occupied, being cared for by the family. On the day of his disappearance he arose at a late hour and declining breakfast started from the house, stating that he intended paying a visit to some near neighbors. Neighbors and friends organized searching parties and the hills and ravines were thoroughly searched, it being surmised by some that being in poor health the missing man had wandered away and perished in the woods ; others had no hesitancy in giving their be lief that murder had been committed and the body hidden away in some ravine or patch of dense brush surrounding the farm. All search and inquiry was futile and no trace of the missing man could be obtained. and the case was given up as one ot those mysterious events which time only can solve." Interests Us. Since the Salem editor was In the city and picked at Albany be cause it has dog fennell in the streets, which that city is full of, any little item from a local paper of that city criticising home matters greatly interest us. "A gen tleman who has been in town for three days on business tells a Vidctte man that lie observed three characteristics of Salem that make the city prominently odd. The first is, that about all the gates are wide open, broken, or taken off and set to one side of the entrance ; second that all the girls whistle, and arc good whistlers ; third that every other person has a bull in the back yard. We cannot be too careful. Strangers take note of small things and are liable to bellow about it." Two Cit 1 es. Pendleton and Baker City are getting very jealous of each other. In answer to a friendly embrace from Baker City a Pendleton paper speaking for the city, as all papers do, says : "Baker City hasn't a business brick that would make a decent out-house in Pendleton, as any im partial judge will admit. In the matter of new buildings and new enterprises of char acter, Baker City is not qualified to hold a candle to light Pendleton on its path of progress. In the matter of advantages and resources of every description Pendleton is In the lead ; and as to the character, en terprise and good spirit of its citizens, a comparison of Pendleton with Baker City would be a disgrace to the former." Tiik Uthkr Sidk. Perhaps it is too much the custom for newspapers to only show the best side of things, particularly applying to their locality, and generally toll more about those who puff up the country than about those who run it down- A Eugene paper speaks of a case of the latter as follows : 11 V wo brothers named Plurntree, one a married man with a wife and four children, who came to Eugene a few weeks ago from Missouri, started back to Kansas or Missouri last Monday. The) sold to Mr. McClanc a new $22 stove, a bedstead, table, chairs, garden and potato patch, all tor io, llie property was cheap at $40 or $50, and one of the neigh bors says lie womu nave willingly paid them double the sum they sold their things for had he known they were for sale, this is a fair specimen of the judgment and business sense of the men. 'i'hey were ignorant, shiftless and could see nothing good in Oregon. They did not know a good country when they saw it, having been raised in a place that is better adapted to raising corn and hogs than to the com fort of human beings, and hastened back to their native land of cold winters, hot summers and terrific cyclones. Ciikm" Transportation. A case re cently occurred in this city that would have been very promptly investigated by the Portland Sunday papers, and colored until you cou.dn't sec the back ground. A man, wife and three children came to this city, lented a house and the man went to work at good wages. One day the husband c aimed to be jealous ; he said another man was interfering with his family affairs. His wife became missing, but was prompt ly hunted up by the husband and taken home. Then one day the husband failed to appear. He had fled leaving his wife ami children without a cent, where no one knew. Several philanthropic people took up a subscription, raised a nice sum of money and sent the woman, children and effects to Portland, w here it is now suspect ed, the husband was awaiting her and they are proDaoiy living togetner In that city. Some think it was just a ruse to obtain cheap transportation rates. Reached Heaven. At the summit of the Siskiyous is a long tunnel throu vthlch the regular train daily passes. This shaft through tlie mountain top happens to cross the line between Oregon and Califor nia. so that a person in traveling from that State to tliis, enters the tunnel in California and leaves it in Oregon. Last week when the weather was so hot in our sister State that the thermometer, at midnight, stood at 100 in Sacramento and was ten degrees higher at mid-day and every one was suf fering tram tne oppressive neat, our train suddenly dashed from that tropical region into the tunnel we have described, and when it came out into the cool shade on the Ore gon side of the mountain, an enthusiastic excursionist burst forth "out of California through the dark portal Into Heaven." The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Alt we ask of excursionists is to visit Ore gon and California both when they come west. ftrvtevj. Specimen Collector. Mr. Prettyman the Indefatigable wheat and specimen col lector generally for the Mechanics' Fair is in the city. While at Jefferson he endeav ored to get a specimen from a field and got left, but caught a freight and reached here at two o'clock. He will spend Sunday with his brother in Benton county. Mr. Prettyman is anxious for Linn county farmers to do something. They are invit ed to leave specimens at this office, and they will be taken care of. At Salem Mr. P. run across a potato vine over eight feet long, which had forty pounds of spuds at the roots. What They Cost Produce Is remark ably cheap just at this moment in Albany. Potatoes are 35 cents per bushel, apples, plums and pears, 50 cents. You can get all the string beans you can carry or 10 cents; blackberries are 5 cents a quart; peaches, $1 a box; butter is 20 cents a pound, the lowest it has been this season, a circumstance that rarely occurs here; eggs are 20 cents a dozen. You can get eoJawater for 5 cents a glM, and the Daily Democrat is 15 cents a week, Put A Pin In It. Since the Oregon Pacific steamers ceased running on the Willamette river, on account of the low stage of water, freight rates on the Mount Shasta Route of the Southern Pacific have more than doubled between Portland and Albany. Where the rate was J'A and 10 cents on certain goods when the boats were running they are now 2t cents. This is only another evidence of what u friend Albany has in the Oregon Pacific. Do not forget these little things when your bones ache once in awhile. Trial No. 2. The second trial of Charles Miller for (he assault of a Lebsaon Celestial, came off yesterday, and lasted from 9 a. m, until 0 p. 111. The jury after being out about half an hour brought in a verdict of guilty, and this morning the defendant was fined $23 and 0'sU, which were quit heavy, Tlie expetue of the trial was greatly increased by bringing thuin to Albany, necessitated by the Lebanon Justice refusing t take the ease. Considerable feeliog dm grown eat of the matter. Prospects. Orer ten year ago, an old residaLt tell a, it was confidently pre dicted by noarly everybody her that Albany would bar a population of at least fifteen thousand. The ten yean are put and we have about three thousand. Now ws are pre dieting big things for the next few yean. While some an skeptical about the city ever being anything very enormous, all generally deolare it his the best prospect of any place n the valley. 1I051KAND AIlltOAl). New shoe at Road'.

After seeing same of the out era tesch era passiug through Albany the M. A. T. congratulates our Oregon school ma'ams on they certainly are more blooming. The M. A. T. observes it to be a fact that many Allany men have lost confidence in Oregon Pacific matter, and even after being told by the press that work will proceed with a rush, they are not inclined to believe anything until they ee the spike driven.
