LOCAL RECORD.
Don Water Power. Our oontemporary
ay Mr Crawfoid wants to aell the d'toh
and water works for $1SO,090. This amount
alio includes tha mill property and ware
house. The original cost of the ditch, water
works, mill and ware house, crowd $150,000
pretty close; if it does not exceed it. If Mr
Crawford could be induced to sell the ditch
alone, we doubt if there would be any trouble
In disposing of it; but so long aa the Foster
nit ia pending it will be dicult to dispose
of the mill too. It is certainly unfortunate
for Albany that an institution thit has done
more to advertise the ci.y than anyth'og else
in it should to a certain extent be tied up.
Hnk H,r. ar. I,, ..A.,, t- .......tki..;.
While Mr Crawford doea not wish to grant a
perpetUwt lease, we understand he will be
glad td lepae different powers for several
J rears. Perhaps the request for a perpttual
ease is a little too muoh to be asked now.
The price for water power from the ditch is
now and always hai been reasonable, and
probably will be. Most men starting a fac
tory here would be willing to take a lease for
a reasonable number of y jars. In the ca ,e
of the woolen mills why cannot Mr Kay be
.induced to do so.
The Silverton Tragedy. In ref;r
encetothe SiWerton atalr mentioned in
the Democrat the Vitletleal Salem savs :
"On Friday afternoon Charles Smith, a
son-in-law of James Magers, who lives 0.1
his ranch near Silverton, became involved
In a dispute with one of his Chinese hands,
in the course of which he broke a fork
handle over the Chinaman's head. It seems
that the Chinaman and a white boy were
loading some sheaves and the load slipped
a little. The Chinaman was e.ideavoKng
to hold the grain on when Smith came
alone. The bov blamed the Chinaman ?or
the load slipping. The laiier denied it, and
the lie ppssed between the two. The.i
Smith took a hand In the controversy, and
me vninaman called mm a liar, whereupon
Smith struck him with the fo. kon t.ie back
of the head, tearing the scalp, and as near
as can be learned, fracturing the skull.
The Chinaman was carried, iu.ensible into
a new house just being built and made
comtorttaoie and a aocor sent for. A re
poitofthe occurrence reached Sllve.-.on,
and bmlth was arrested on Saturday."
A Will. Sometime ago Mr. D'Houdt
died In California leaving propel '. valued
at $80,000 to $100,000. He left all of his
property to his second wife arcod'ng to
the wl'.l in her possession ; but it seems
that he had before made ano'.her will leav.
ine nearly all of the property to Mis. Van
Wlndle, who resides In the Third Ward in
this city. It is now proposed to contest :he
last will.
Sham Thincs. Mr. William Forlm'ller
has a fine stock of pi1 low sham holders, at
almost half the customs "v price. Also a
stock of two part mattresses, a new (hing,
and no sham either, the best arran-emen
of the season. He has biorght on o.nefi'.ie
upholstering goods for chairs, K11 iges,' c.
Old things maderbout as good ai new or
ineir use. Chi I on Mr for. miller for tie
best furniture generally.
6 to 7. The capacity o! the paper mill
mentioned In the Democrat yes'erday is
6 to 7 tons a day Instead of 67 as the types
made us say yesterday. Such a mill here
would be a splendid thing for the fanners
of the tur.'ounding country, as it would
offer a splendid market for their straw, and
thousands of dollars worth, now bu.-ned,
cbuiu De sold. 1
A B ar, Story. Brother Guild, of the
Silyerton Appeal, tells the following story,
and of ooorse it may or may sot bo trot:
IMr McAllister, oajght a bear in a trap up
00 Silver oreek last Saturday. Bruin showed
fight and Mo had quite a tusa'e with the
brute, when Pud Reese sprang in, and, grasp
ing bruin by the baok of the neck, succeeded
is sivering its windwipe. This ended the
IWht B'ars are getting plentiful in the foot
bills.''
A Doo. This morning a young man
was riding his bicycle along First Street
when he was attacked by a dog, which
grabbed htm by a teg, pulling him and the
bicycle to the ground, and then sprang for
his neck, which he failed to -reach. Of
course the young man was mad at the dog.
Who wouldn't be.
Came Over. W. A. Cox came over
from Independence yesterday o superin
tend the plastering on the Foshay & Mason
block. He has been at work on the new
brick Opera House at that city. It Is to be
5690 feet, the second story to be used for
theatrical purposes. The first story will
contain a drug store and a saloon.

hot Springs The Belknap hot
springs, In Lane county, wl'l cook eggs In
less than four minutes. The water has
fine medicinal qualities and will cure corns,
Awiiter in the Prineville Newa writing
about them says : "These springs are three
in number. They are situated en the
north bank of the McKenzle river in Lane
county, and at the foot of mountain that
is probably 15,000 feet In height, the lower
side of which h heavily timbered with fir,

it Is like'y these hot springs will some day
become as famous as the hot springs of
We Blush A gentleman whose opin
Ion is to be valued writes as follows, giving
us a "send oil" that is greatly appreciated
in these days when there are so many peo
pie who think they know more about Tun-
nlng a newspaper than the editors them
selves : "When so large and fat a paper
comes to me as the last Issue of the Week
ly Democrat, I think it my duty to clap
you a little. It I a rich number, and its
columns fairly hum with the thrift and im
provement of Albanyand Linn county,

taken to make it just bristle, asitdoes,wlth

Died. Mr. J. 0. Adams died this fore
noon at his home next east of the Demo
crat office, of consumption, after a linger.
Ing illness, at the age of about 31 years'
Mr. Adams came from Michigan here
about a yearagoand went into the delivery
business : but his health was too poorand
he gave it up. He was a member of Cor
inthian Lodge A. F. & A. M. and will be
buried under the auspices of that lodge to
morrow, lunerai services to pe at the
house at 9 o'clock. '
Original. Johnnj Irvine is nothing if
not different from other people. Hereto
fore every house In the city has been paint
ed with darker trimmings than the body.
Johnny has reversed the custom and his
handsome mansion on Washington Street
now shows up with a darker body than
trimmings. It is a fine looking structure, as
remodeled.and as soon as the lawn is made
to match wM be an elegant home residence.
Albany Peaches. The Democrat has
about concluded that Albany is a peach
country, so many fine peach trees are be
ing brought to our notice. Cnpt. E. J.
Lannlng has just handed us an eight incher
that Is a beauty. It was from a tree raised
from a seed planted three vears airo. Our
citizens are advised to plant peach trees
generally on the south side of some build
ing, and they wilt be sure to reap a harvest
In the future. . . '
An Old Story, The story is circulated
that a few ysars ago a man traded a mule for
tweuty acres of land near Tacoma, and that
he has just been offered $10,000 for it; but
wants l-UOOO. Thia same story is told about
nearly every city that amounts to anything.
As soon as we have time we are going to work
up ous about Albany.
