LOCAL RECORD. Elowly CoMiNf, People coming from California to Oregon are almost generally delighted with this country, such is the contrast. Here is one case from a South ern California paper : -'Mr L L Williams returned home Friday last from his trip through the "Webb foot" State, highly plca-cd with what he saw there. Mr. Williams was so pleased with the Willam ette Valley, that he purchased an excellent farm of 40S acres situated twelve miles east of Albany, and a timber claim of 15 acres lying about live miles distant from his farm. While in Oregon Mr. Williams made his headquarters at the hospitable home of ouro d friend and neighbor, Henry La.Scll, who has one of the finest farms in Oregon, nicely improved, and only three miles from the homestead just purchased by Mr Wil liams. All the family, (excepting D. 1). Williams) will remove to Oregon in the near future and although we regret their departure, we congratulate the good peo ple of the sister State on the north in the valuable addition to their population they will have when the Williams family locate Great Nkoliuknce. Last night about o o'clock Dr, McAllister was driving north along Ellsworth Street when his team, without any warning, went into the lattcral sewer being built across that street and through the alley to Broad albin Street. It was about six or seven feet deep at that place. One of the horses tumbled on the other, and in their desperate efforts to get loose kicked and bruised each other in a serious manner. The buggy remained in the street and was uninjured. After about an hour's work five or six men, by prying and tearing up the sidewalk, succeeded In getting the animals out of the sewer in rather of a pitiable condition. Dr. Mc Allister was thrown out of the buggy and had one leg considerably bruised so that he goes with a limp. The reason the accident happened was that the Doctor did not see the sewer ; and the reason lie failed to see the sewer was the absence of a lantcrm contrary to the ordinance providing for one. There was not even a temporary railing up. Another thing : the ordin ance specially provides that a sewer shall only be built half wav across a street at a time, so as to give teams an opportunity to pass, ihts was built tne whole distance across. So a case of double dereliction of duty is presented. We understand Dr. Mc Allister will present a bill to the city for damages, and unless it is paid the city will have a suit on its hands. According to the present appearance of things the case is rather of a plain one. It looks as if it is one of great negligence. Woolen Mill Matters. Mr. Thos. Kay, of Brownsville, was in the city to day. Tills reminds us that this woolen mill mat ter has been greatly mutillated, until we hardly know how it does stand. As the propositions have not been in writing they have been indefinite. The $15,000 bonus is plain enough. The water power is the rub. What Mr. Kay wants in reference to )t is not that the city shall present him with a perpetual right, but that he can secure such a lease that he cannot be imposed on in the future by the demand for exhorbltant rates should the ditch change hands. He Is willing to pay a reasonable water rent ; but wants his rights secured In that re spect. Then, as we understand it now, what Mr Kay wants from eur citizens is the site for the mill and a bonus of $15, 000, and a satisfactory arrangement with the owner of the ditch for water. Some one suggest that the city take the whole ditch plant, and issue bonds far the pay ment of the same. As the interest on the bonds would be $10,000 to $15,000 that would be a serious matter which deserves deep consideration. We believe the mat ter is situated so that good engineering will get a mill here. Borolarv. Some days ago Oloey Fry, Sr, and family, of this city, all repaired to the country leaving 00 one at his house, which he closed. On returning home yester day he found that some one bad entered his house in his absence and took a $10 watch, satchel, blanket, fhirt, etc. People cannot be too careful in leaving valuables where the light lingered gentry can get hold of them. "A Bio Salic. -The Empire Commission Compauy bought 4S, 000 bushels of wheat jes ter, paying sixty cents a bushel therefor. This is the largest quantity sold at one time, and the best price obtained in Pendleton for many a day. Quite a number honest grang er! went home amiliug and happy, because they had only expected 68 cents, and had received 60 centa per bushel for the;.r golden grain." if, O. unlucky fob imvis Mr Zamwalt, a well known and reliable citizen of Perrydale, Folk county, who was in the city yesterday, reports that Lafayette Tindall, the man as -saulted hy rVm Davis two weeks ami to-dav. is steadily growing worse, and his recovery w anaiuuniy (juvabiuiieu By nis menus.

He has a fine assortment of tea, coffee, lunch goods, oysters, crackers, cookies, the best quality of cheese, and everything usually found In a first-class grocery store. Tallman. Mr E B Mammaek, of tb - Tallman warehouse, says they have let out sacks for about 65,000 or 70,000 bushels, and that they are paying Albany prioea for wheat He is also a member of a threshiog firm. Sine starting his threshing orew has aver aged oyer 1500 bushels of wheat a day with a 32 inch Minnesota Chief. Died. Judge Johns, the present ODUnty fBoial ef Crook oounty, died at his home in Prineville last Tuesday, according to a letter reosivs 1 by Mr L Benders, of this city. there.'' Lebanon. Last Monday Mr. W. O Peterson drove over to Albany in a road cart. On his return home, as he was driv ing slowly along, whistling a plaintive tunc, hie horse became offended at something and commenced kicking, and did not stop until there was no dash-board left to kick. Walt turned a back somersault Out of the cart and escaped unhurt. This explains the matter referred to by the Democrat a lew aays ago. tas. . . . . 1 . f. McKnight, an enteiprising horticulturist who lives some three miles from Lebanon, brought 10 tins ouice a seven-loot pole 01 beans with three vines on it, containing about ore hundred beans, which averaired at least seven inches each in length Prof. F. tla lev. 01 iNevaaa.lowa. is in town visiting Prof Hunt, his old friend and schoolmate.

"Our old neightbor aulfnond, Melvin W Parker departed on the night train Tuesday morning, via San Francisco, for Oregon, Mtl will open a first class restaurant in the srowioff citv of Al bany, and, knowing that he understands the restaurant business fully, we bave no doubt he will meet with success. Mr Parker will continue his business here under the manage' inentof bis father, S W Parker. While we regret to have Mr Parker leave this section for another location we wish him unlimited success in his new enterprise, and we trust that Mel and his estimable family will make as many lasting friends in their new home as they leave here. Mrs Parker and family will follow her buBband in a short time." Biggs (Cal) Argus. Mr Parker has rented one of the rooms in Strahaus new biildinir and will open the restaurant as soon as it is ready for occupancy, Bridge-!. The following from ihLtadtr, of Corvallia, also reminds us that there is rich section of country across the Willamette thst is tributary to Albany. There ought to be bridges both at Albany and Corvallia ''The increased imonnt of wheat from across the river is a reminder that a very rich sec tion of country, naturally tributary to Cor has been practically cut off from us. Onr commercial importance would be nearly doubled by a free bridge serosa the Willam ette at this place, because we should bave nearly double tha country to draw fiom. Of course, the buildiLg of the college and court house and the expected building of a fiae school house, make the mention of another expeusive undertaking hazardous. But th investment ia a bridge wonld quickly pay re turns, A Mystery. That $10,000 sent from Portland to New York is liable to cause trouble. The despatches from New York state : The whereabouts of the missing money package containing $10,000, that was delivered at the Portland, Or., post- office, for transmission to the Chemical bank in New York, is still a mystery. Ac. tive search for it is still in progress. seems to be quite certain that the package was not lost on the journey from Portland here,and that it was stolen or mislaid either In New York or Portland, Notice.

Our eoutemporanes all through the Vallev are interested in the 0 P and watch almast as oloaely as Albany papers for new items in reference to it. 8a s the Utatesman: "A reporter of ths Statesman was shown a letter yesterday trom Wm M HiSg. vix-preaident and manager 01 me wregou racmo railroad in which he stated tha tins line of railroad would be completed this year thirty-five miles Deyonu Metiains 1111s would take tbe road np past Breitonbush aud give eaav ae oess to some of the finest timber belts on the coast, as soon as ir.e lorests are cleared from them there are several tine openings for ranches up through that country also, and tbe building of the railroad will soon send aettlera in there. Tlia Mis ACiiLT TOW.V. Sonic people think that all there is worth living for in a city is the rush and pulling iindiiiaiiipiitaiini of the long augur. "Ah, Albany Is agood place, but It isn't 'long' enough," some one says. But ri'ht here we wish to remark th.-.t it is getting there, and any way there is lots in this lifcbesidcs getting a few filthy twenties. To hear peo pic talk one would think that all that is nec essary Is to go to Seattle, or Tacoma or Spokane Tahs, drop in your hook and you will catch a whole whale of twenties. As a matter of fact goinj; to such places is simply a mining speculation. Hundreds of people who locate there are out at the knees.

The road will unite Linn and Crook counties Into a very friend ly relationship. It will be an immense thing for Crook as well as for Linn county and will double its population in a few jears. It will make its goods twenty per cent cheaper and add several cents to the price of wool. Instead of slipping to The Dalles they can ship to Albany or directly bast. In fact just this road will change the whole aspect of affairs. 1 !l Albany should be as proud as a paper with a libel suit, it has a damage case on hand. TM M. A.
