LOCAL RECORD. Talk ok Movino to Tacoma. Mr. C. C. Cherry, of Cherry & I'iirkcs returned last evening from lacomo, where he had been to consider a proposition to locate their foundry and machine shops at that city. The firm has an offer of $10,000 irom the citizen of Tacoma to establish their shops there, and, In all probability will ac cept the offer, which Is open for two weeks. In case the move is made the entire plant here w ill be moved to that city and greatly added to, shops being built several times as large as those here, with the expectation of running a force of probably more than a hundred men. The move will probably be made in October, or November. In the meantime the buildings would he erected under the supervision of Mr. Cherry. The shops in this city employ from fifteen to twenty men and this is one of the most im portant industries here. They receive business from all over Oregon. We need them here, and while we arc reaching for more we cannot afford to lose what we have. Cherry & I'arkes arc rustlers In their line, and rustlers Is what Albany needs. The firm has not yet made its final decision In the matter, we understand. A Lamp Post. A horse was standing tied to one of the city's antiquated lamp posts at the Stewart & Sox corner, this morning, when, giving It a slight jerk it pulled the frail affair to the ground. The rattle of the tin cupola aud the breaking of the glass frightened the animal and he sprang with agility backwards across the street, and was about to dash dangerously down the street when captured. The job was a irood one. and we suggest thai the horse be hitched to several other useless lamp posU, as he seems fitted for the buB. ncss. A Dutchman standing near cried out, "Mine Got, dot horse got sense and don't you forgot it." Wake Up. Mr. Prettyinan, the cereal collector was in the city to-day on his way to Salem from Benton county. He had a large collection of wheat, oats, timothy, clover and buckwheat, all fine specimens. The buckwheat was 6 feet 1 Inches tall. Linn county should be represented at the Mechanics' fair, and it Is strange our farm ers are so slow about acting In the matter. With a very small effort some fine speci mens could be arranged. If left at this of fice they will be properly labeled and for warded. Insurr One Is not safe during the summer months without Insurance on their property. The recent fire at Sclo should be a warning. They will occur, and some times when least expected, particularly during the heateJ time of the year. Get a policy in the Albany companv and you will be safe, for it is safe and reliable and pays promptly. A Boarikg House. Mrs. Cheadle's cor ner house Is now completed, and has been duly examined by a Democrat man. It is a modoj of a house, particularly for boarders. Miller & Turner did the paint ing, an artistic job. Mrs. Houck has the place rented, and will move Into this week. She keeps a first-clais boarding house and should have a large patronage. The West End The Democrat is informed that Mrs. Murry is making ar rangements to reopen the old Exchange hotel, after first rearranging and improv ing it generally. Mrs. Murrv has always been a popular hostess and will carry her business to the old stand. This would in dicate that the west end of First Street Is to . continue to hold its own. The Circus. This afternoon the ad vance guard of Sell's circus are painting ' the town red and many other celors. The bill boards arc covered with gaudy pictures of animals and performing men. The eyes of the small boy have already bugged out to their full capacity, and he will spend his time dreaming about where he will obtain the wherewithal to see the cir cus on Aug. 37. From a Hot Country Ed. Moore re turned a day or two ago from an extend ed tour through Eastern Washington Territory. Ed. says we don't know any thing about hot weather here. It was 1 io' above zcrojn the shade, and dust until yeu couldn't sec. a " On the iotm. Next Friday Mr. Pfelffer' as announced, will assume complete con trol of the hotel, when he will run Hon the American plan. We hear a great many favorable reports on the move, as Mr. Pfelffer sets a popular table and the travel ing public generally will endorse the change. Wuot.KN SMI.I.S. The llrownsville woolen mills are con sidering the matter of removing their mills. They have purchased the Waterloo water power, and cjpeet to go cither there or to Albany. They have made a proposition to Albany to go there hi case everything can be made satisfactory. The above is from the Orcgomau's Lcb. anon correspondence, and makes public what has been known In Albany, but for certain reasons has been kept private. We understand it is proposed to close the mills about the first of next year. Albany can have thcin, in fact mills with twice the capacity, if we only display the necessary enterprise. In fact a committee is already investigating the question of water power for -the same. While no formal proposi tion has yet been made it is probable one will be at an early date. Mr. Kay seems very much pleased with Albany as a loca tion for a large woolen mill, and if he does not establish it hcie it is the fault of our citizens, judging from the present outlook' Crook County. Farmers say harvest hands arc scarce throughout the county. There are quite a number of loafers around town who might earn their board in the hay fields if they would get out and go to work.... Messrs. Monroeand Arthur Hod ges and Dr. and Mrs. G. S. Wright started across the Cascades last Saturday. Arthur will stop at Fish Lake, while the rest of the party will go on io Salem . . . .James Woods returned Wednesday from Eugene. He came home sooner than he wanted to, but then he says it is too expensive living In the Webfoot town .... Notice is hereby given that J. J. Dorris is not an agent, nor jshe in any way connected with the Farm ers' & Merchants' Insurance Co., of Al bany, Or, J. K. Elderkin, Sec'y . . . .Messrs. IJenswanger and Wolf, of Eugehe, arrived here by Sunday's stage. Mr. Bcnswanger is an experienced brcweryman and is look ing for a location to establish a brewery, and Mr. Wolf talks of opening a butcher shop here ... . Last Monday an eight-year-old daughter of Wm. Rodman, of Bear Creek, was playing In a grain field where her brother was running a mower. Unob served by her brother she got in front of the sickle, and before he could stop the team the sickle struck her left leg, inflicting about twenty gashes between the ankle and knee. All of the tendons of the back part of the leg were severed and numerous flesh wounds were inflicted upon the sides. Re view. , Some Fasiiton Notes. Many simple and effective hats have a bow of fancy rib bon as their only garnature ... .To be real ly fashionable at the present time, every item of the costume should correspond In color. . . . Low shoes should be worn out of doors only at the seaside. They are made of patent leather, with a tied bow of rib bon in front.... Tiny gold or silver brace' jets are popular just now with very long gloves. The number of these slender cir. clets varies fiom fifteen or sixteen to fifty. Necklaces to correspond are also seen Ladies who wear silk petticoats should bear In mind that fashion decrees that they shall be of a corresponding color to the dress.... White gloves are now worn when paying ceremonious visits. For quiet calls, shopping, etc., Swedish gloves are still cenerally favored .... A novelty in unr brella handles consists of a dog's head carved in wood, the mouth opening with a spring, and made to hold railway tickets, coins, etc. Wheat. Last night at about 10 o'clock wheat jumped up to 64 cents, the price which is now paid by the Albany Farmers' Company, As there Is nearly 15,003 bush els stored there It will be strange if it Is not sold. Mr. Hammack, of Tallman, says about 1500 bushels remain in his ware house, and that bJ cents Is paid, in nis vi cinity threshing has begun quite generally this week, ine present price 01 wneai is a remarkably good one, considering foreign markets. The Right Spirit. A perfect town Is that in which vou 6ec the farmers patron izing the home merchants, the laborers spending the money they earn with their own tradesmen, and all animated by a splr It that will not purchase an article abroad It it can oe naa at nome. inc spim ui re ciprocity between business men and mer rhantt tradamn and laborers, farmers and manufacturers, result every time In making a town a perfect one 10 ao ousi ness In. Ex. A Rush There seems to be quite a general rush for the sea shore, mountains and Soda Springs, the center ol all which Is Albany. Parties before going should call on Conn Bros, for their supplies. Their groceries are pure, fresh and cheap, and are good at homeorabroad.here or among the Soda fountains, or where the waves break on the shore. . Indignant. A party of Salcmltes have written home to one of the papers in the following terrible manner : "An Indlg nnnl nartv at Yaaulna City. All urged 0 stop at Yaquina big hotel. Plenty of time ; the Doat crew comes nc, -. fnr a turfntv cent mP.ll i wci. 4 iii-j y ----- , the boat comes is gone. Voted a regular cheat. Hotel proprietor inviaiuic , mr. Norton wrathy' ' W. C, T. U. Dinner.--Those who come to Albany on circus day should make up their minds to get their dinner and supper at the W. C. T. U. hall. The members ot this society will set a dinner on that day and no doubt it will be well patronized. NOT1CK. To thewatcf (snsnmers of the Albtitiy Wa ter Work : Will you all please use sprinklers on your hose when wetting your lawns and gardens. Please fix your closets so that the water will only run when in use, and please quit sprinkling after 10 o'clock of a night, there is several tanks that have to he filled of a niu'ht and it becomes necessary to stop sprinkling of a night to do so. You may not know it, but torevery inch hose left running without a sprinkler on you arc wasting not less than 6oco gallons every day, and for every water c.o..et left running you arc wasting not less than 4030 gallons every day. By doing as I request, you will all have all of 'the water you need and at a better pressure, and at the same time help out your neighbors. Kcspectiuny yours, J. A.'Crawforo. The College. The A.bany Collegiate Institute will open on Tuesday, Sept. 11. The instructors of the past year will con tinue in the school. By order of the trus tees a carriculum has been arranged, which will give dcfinltencss to the work of the college.

Arrangements have Been made lor giv ing special help to students who are behind in clashes they wish to enter. The school year will close on the 12th day of June, 00Q. 1 he prospects lor the comln year are very flattering. The Democrat heart ily endorses the present management and recommends young people ot doui sexes desiring a thorough education to investi gate its advantages. The College building has been greatly improved, the two society rooms nave been connected Dy doors witn the chapel, the Erodelphian room being enlarged ; the wood shed has been con verted into a laboratory and the gymna sium into a woodshed, and the whole build ing improved generally. Brownsville. On the 2d inst. Messrs. R. Bradley and B. Davis, of Bellevue, Wood river, Idaho, arrived here. Mr. B. is a brother-in-law of Mr. E. Roby, of this city. These men are on their way to the mines 011 the Calipooia and Blue rivers, and after a residence of twenty-five in the dif ferent mining camps of Idaho, they ought to be competent to express an opinion of this neW district.... Mr. Thomas Cooper died near here last Friday and was buried in the cemetery near this city yesterday A post mortem examination was made yesterday morning by Drs. Starr, Smith and Geary, and it was found that his death was caused bv a stricture of the bowels and a small cord had grown around the main intestine, completely stopping anything irom passing through. A period ot six weeks had elapsed since anything had passed .... Saturday evening when the fun eral procession was returning from the cemetery, M r. A. W . Standish was return' ing nome from work on Air. Cochran's barn, riding on horse back. In front of Mr. Moyer's house the horse became frightened and Mr. S. having a lunch ba ket and some carpenter's tools in his hands, lost his balance and tell off , striking the ground heavily on his shoulders, bruis ing him up pretty badly, but he is able to be about. cor. urrgouiau.

People going by would stop and Inquire about the watch charm. H. M. Perry and J. E. Archibald purchased the engine and a 37-inch thresher, Russell & Co's make, notwithstanding their diminutive appear ance. Yesterday they set the machine in one of Mr. Archibald's wheat fields, and in the forenoon threshed bob bushels and dur ing the day over 1 500 bushels, a remarkable record for that sized engine and thresher, and It was doing very reliable work. For Fish Lakr. Walter Jory, George Brown, Tom Davis, Will King and Bert Potter, a jolly crowd of Salem boys, start' ed last evening for Fish Lake, near the summit of the Cascade mountains, where they will remain three weeks hunting and fishing, says the Statesman, which shows that Salem boys also are "on to" Albany nimrods tayorltc resort, The O. P's. New BoATs.On the 12th Instant one of the Oregon Pacific's new boats will start from New York for San Francisco, which it will reach about the first of November. The other boat will leave on the 1st of September. The com pany Is sadly In need 01 tnese boats, which will" add greatly to the business of the road. Left tor tiibCouniry. Mr. Thomas, who had the difficulty with Mr. Comely Sabbath morning, left to-day for the coun try with his junk outfit, and Mr. C. will probably not be prosecuted for allowing gambling In his house. Mr. Thomas is a pretty quirt sort ot a man wnen sooer, and he tells us he only gets In his recent con dition once a y:ar, which Is enough for anybody. Fiy harvest lands wanted by Char.

Scanland is about to open a distil lery in IeuanOD. 1-iebar.on husiuers men are making arrange ments for the eoDitruction of tho ditch to that city, aud it will probably be built. The oikr referred to in another column, as beinir made to Cherry Si I'arkes, is in the form of real tstato for the site for their foundry. A ijentlcinan well acquainted with the property says in a few years it wilt be wortli several times its present value. An bid lady on the train between Portland aud Beaverton the other day, apparently ex periencing her first ride on the cars, was very iruch disturbed when the train reached the hich trestle on Fourth Street. The elevation of the road at this point is very great, ad the cars seem as if suspended in the mid-sir. As the train passed over the trestle the old lady convulsively grasped the seat and held her breath until the opposite side of the chasm was reached, when she gave a deep sitjh of relief and exclaimed, ."Thank God ! she's lit 1" Ex, A surveyor who was caught in a thunder storm while engaged in the woods at Orlan do, Fla.,left his compass on the jackstaff while he took shelter under a tree. During the storm a tree very near the compass was struck by lightning, and the effect upon the instrument was to reverse it so as to make the north point of the needle change position and point outh The surveyor, unaware of the change, on starting for home with h'l compass for a guide, wandered eight or ten miles in the wrong direction before he dis -covered the fact. The Parker Cannery, Hon. Allen Parker, of Yaquina Bay, came over on the O. P. to-day. He Informed a Democrat man that he expects to send his boats out next Monday for Salmon, and will have fifteen or sixteen running during the sea son. He has just received four or five large nets specially for Chinook salmon. Mr. Parker anticipates a run of three to four thousand cases, but will be in condi tion to meet a large run should one occur. We predict that his cannery will prove a paying investment in time. Damage. Mr. Guiss,who lately bought the drug store of M. A. Miller.writes from his former home in Kansas to his son here that on last Wednesday the hot dry winds made their appearance there and very ma terially damaged the corn crops. Mr. Guiss is now on his way to this city with his family. SAY! HERE IS A BARGAIN FOR YOU. GRAND CLEARANCE SALE OF Brownsville Clothing, COMMENCING JULY 2nd.
