LOCAL RECORD.
DlP.n. Mr. Felix O'Toole, died yestcr.
day morning at 4:10 o'clock at his rooms
in the Russ House, after a lingering illness
of about nine months at the age of 74. The
funeral services occurred this forenoon at
!0 o'clock at the Masonic Hall, and were
conducted under the auspices of the Ma
sonic order, of which the deceased was a
member. The attendance was large. Mr
O'Toole came from Michigan to Albany in
1878. invested his money here and lived
becoming his advancing jcars on his rent-
als and interest, his property growing In
value, under his careful management. Hi8
face was familiar on the streets of Albany
for many years. "Doc" as he was famil
iarly known was of a very social nature and
had a good word for those he met. He
will be missed from our midst.

A Lrrmt Blubtkil If all oar Oregon ex
changes were ulTeoted after'the manner of
our contemporary up the street, it would be
uxeless to hold any more Statejl'resa Associa
tions. Instead of bocoming mare dignified
tlio JtrutU immediuttly starts bfT with a
butuii of personal digs of a uatuto to ahjw
that it is more luteicxttd in the way the
Dkmiichat is run than it is about its owu
concerns. We notice one or two to fill up
with. It put itself out of the way to say our
shark item wai like ourstateuicut that wheat
wont up 10 (14 cents at about 10 o'clock. Of
course the time was immaterial; but as far
as uue esiaMndiment was concerned it was
practically a fact. The item about twelve
sharks being caught in a net at tlio Bay wa"
not the result of a practical joke on tlio Deb
ocuvr man; but a fact, and spesking of re
liability, moro of a- fact tuau the JlrrabVa
item that the Brownsville woolen mills were
going to shut down ou account of the insuf-
ficieucy of the water power. It was uncom
mon only iu the number. Small sharks are
captured fieimeutly this way. Anyway
tins was not as mucn 01 a joae aa me ooe on
the JIcraUl' pencil shover in reference to the
election bet. Our readers already know from
atieet talk the whole business, but some of
them wanted to get the parties names into
print so aa to make them as notorious aa Ike
liyman, so they put tue Jleratd man up to
denying our item, which he did in too blust
enuga Hay considering his knowledge of the
aifair. The Democrat does not care to wriug
the uaims of the parties into print connected
with every incompleted bet made, and backed
out of. This one was made, all but placing
up the money, as stated. The drummer is
a, rortlaua carpet man, instead 01 a o. r.
man, aud has specially requested us to keep
his name out of print, as he doss not want to
be notorious lue ilyman. tie spent l.zuin
tolegraphlug tor the $1000, and as we saw
his dispatches we know the money was
readv. The Harrison man is a well known
clerk here aud it is not necessary to give his
uame. Tne arrangements for the bet were
beard by several, aud as the matter is nos 01
enough importance anyway we do not pro
duce their alfidates, particularly as it would
only satisfy the whim of our contemporary.
The ease waa that of a square back down
according to the facts zivea us. and so far as
we are concerned that is the last of it. In
the matter of reliability we have no nesita
tion in placing ths record of the Democrat
witn that 01 the sltrald.
How Lelt. Dr. O'Toole, who died
yesterday morning left about $40,000, in
money and property. Mr. Fred Blumberg
and Mr. Warner were appointed executors
of his last will and testament. We under
stand Mr. B.umberg, the "Doctors" faithful
Secretary and companion for many years,
will get the Wallace property In this city.
part of the Portland property and several
thousand dollars, about $20,000 in all. Mr
Warner will receive the Kuss House,
Charles Warner his son, part of the Port
land property, both of whom were former
residents ot tne "uocior- in nncnigan ;
the Catholic church in this city $500 and
two Portland gentlemen $500 apiece.

Booms. An exchange says : The real
dents of Webfoat can thank their lucky
stars that Oregon has had no boom like
California, to leave It In a deplorable con,
dltion. Fictitious values always prove dls-
astrous. A city or a country may float for
awhile on the high tide of prosperity but
such prosperity Is of short duration. Many
must reap the result of the whirlwind. A
letter from a former resident of this valley
vividly portrays the situation : "1 am
weary of the Infernal sleepiness of a dead
boom town a town of empty brick build
ings, empty heads and empty pockets.
Money is slow in forth coming ; everyone
is aesponaenr. a. tumoie or greatness is
Imminent. 1 long to return to tne land ot
plenty Oregon."
Fine Suitings. One of the finest lot of
suitings ever brought to Albany has just
been received by L. E. Blaln, for his tailor
ing department under charge of W. R
Graham. The latest patterns and of splen
did material, they will make up into fine
suits. With a tailor of the experience of
Mr. Graham there is no excuse for sending
away from Albany for tailor made suits.
An examination oitnese patterns win pay
those intending to visit a tailor.
