LOCAL RECORD.
Tiik Lost Found. Recently tlie Dkmo
ihat mentioned the finding of J. E. 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.

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.
It is true that thing get exaireerated ome
on occasions; but the ball, nevertheless, keeps
rumng towards Boise City, and when it gets
there the more thorny has been the path the
