LOCAL RECORD.
Tiik Usual Nlmiikk. The usual num
ber of oung men from the city and coun
try yesterday thought they could beat the
frauds and cut throats hanging around the
circus at their own games and hence got
gloriously taken in. The Walla Wa.la
paper that said there were no cut throats
with the circus simply lied. There were,
if anything, more than usual, which in
cluded several snide side shows. The me
nagerie and performance are good, prob
ably the best ever in Albany, and It is cer
tainly to be regretted that they allow such
a lot of grasping leeches around them ; but
the fact that they all travel on the same
special train shews that the whole thing is
practically under one management. Alter
all these side swindling affairs attract as
much attention as anything and often have
a longer remembrance in one's mind.
Many men wouldn't think they had boen
to a circus if they didn't have these fellows
to patroni.e.
YAquiNA Bay. Col. Parker, of Walla
Walla, in writing home to his paper says:
"This seaside resort is fast becoming the
favorite among the people of the North
west. There is more variety in scenery,
resorts, etc., than any other watering place
on the coast, and it has only to become
better known to be crowded every season.
As it is there are a great many yisitors
here and each and all declare it is superior
to Clatsop or Ilwaco. One thing I like is
the utter absence of airs and frills among
the people here. As the Oregon Pacific is
now being pushed ahead to connect ulti
mately with the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad it will not be lone before the sun
baked denizens of Eastern Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and Utah will make this their
summer abiding place.
Cuts Exchanges. "Beans regarded
as food," Is the heading In an exchange.
This Is the way beans should be regarded.
Any one who would regard beans as a bev
erage would be way off East Portland
S(ar.... The man who is convinced that
advertising don't pay is generally anxious
t have an extended personal notice every
time he leaves town or returns. W. W.

general cry for placing the wires under
ground those cages of wire which the
ladies carry behind them will not be for
gotten. Roseburg Herald.... W 'hen whis
key is made free, barkeeepers will have to
sell it at five cents a glass, which will be a
good deal of exertion for a small profit,
but it will put the kibosh on wine Vin
dicator. Camimium Hats. "From a catalogue
just receive from a leading Chicago hatter
we learn that the facts in the case are ex
actly the reverse of the Orajonian't state
mentthe white band being on the Har
rison hat and the black on the Cleveland.
Roseburg victims, who purchased and have
been wearing campaign hats in accordance
with the Oregoitian't definition of which
was which, are now as mad as hornets, but
are not fully decided as to the proper course
to pursue to restore their equaminity of
mind." This is from a Roseburg paper,
and shows at least that the matter is all
mixed up. Notwithstanding the cata
logues, the pearl hat with the black band
is undoubtedly the Harrison hat. All the
Eastern pictorial papers have it that way
and they are good authority. Some Har
rison men don't seem to like the idea of
wearing mourning, and that's the trouble.
This Week. The Board of Equaliza
tion Is now In session at the Clerk's office
If you have been assessed too much now is
the time to act. The assessment roll as
made out b) Assessor Smith is a neat af

A Curious Fact It costs more to get

A CATAi.oiii J;. President Condit, of the
College, has just handed us a catalogue for
iSSij-o. It is nicely gotten up and shows
the present plans of the school in plainer
language than we can state them. We
have heretofore given the faculty in full.
A commendable feature of future work is
the complete classification of the studies to
be pursued, so that students will know
just how they stand In the Collegiate de
partment, from which it will take the cus
tomary four years ".o graduate, the years
being divided Into Freshman, Sophomore,
Junior and Senior. The arrangement is
one that ill be very satisfactory to students.
Under it they will pass from the Interme
diate department to the Freshman year
upon passing the necessary commence
ment examination. Upon completion of
either of the three courses, Classical, Latin
Scientific or German Scientific, the degree
of U. S. will be conferred. To students who
are unable to enter either of these courses a
course in English may be pursued, cer
tificates of graduation being granted, and
three years is necessary to complete the
course. The preparatory department is in
splendid hands. The price of tuition ranges
from $5.50 to $ i a. 50 per term. The cata
logue shows the number of graduates from
the College to be thirty-one. The number
of students enrolled is ninety-three. There
will be three in the Senior class the com
ing year, to-wit : Misses Helen A Craw
ford, Flora A Mason and Ina L Robertson.
The College will thus be seen to be in a
good condition, it is under splendid man
agement and is displaying a progress in
keeping with the growing city in which it
is lucaicu.
Crook County Lou Hodges and wife
left on Saturday of last week for the Wil
lamette Valley. They will be absent two
or three weeks.... The market will prob.
ably open this fall with wheat at 75c. per
bushel and oats and barley at 50c Ocho-
co creek has gone dry in several places
and Crooked river is down to low water
mark. Water is liable to be in demand If
it don't rain before long The building
for the new brewery is assuming propor
tions and will soon be completed. Mr.
Benswangcr expects to have it running by
the last of next month .... Same time since
it was thought that there would be enough
wheat raised in the county to supply the
home market, but since harvest began it Is
believed there will be a shortage, the grain
not yielding quite as well as was expected.
Some time since we advertised for a
one-horse preacher and got him, but he
didn't stay long. Now we would ask for a
two.horse, tirst-class dispenser of the gos
pel who is willing to preach 52 Sundays in
me year on a salary inaae up el promises
to pay when times get better.... Messrs
Nutting and Roberts, of Upper Crooked
river, hauled the first gristof new wheat to
the Prlneville mills this year. It was
breughtinovera week ago.... On Monday
of this week the thermometer maiked 98
In the shade and 126 in the sunlight. On
Tuesday it made a grand climb, reaching
106" in the shade, making that day the
warmest of the season. Each day since
then has been extremely warm, the mer
cury marking 95 to 98 in the shade. Prlne

Sure Things. An old gentleman from
the country was telling us to-day how he
gave a twenty dollar piece for some change
yesterday, and although he thought he
counted the money carefully, when he
looked It over again he was six dollars
short. Funny. A young man from the
country, rectntly married, watched ene of
the games at the circus until he knew just
how it was done, and then when he had a
sure thing put up seventy dollars on iL
Then he found out it wasn t so very sura
after all. '
Suppose Suppose the Democrat was
to put in some out of the way corner a two
or three line local to the effect that some
particular merchant charged more for his
goods than anyone else he would be the
maddest man in town, and yet perhaps
one ef the very class who say it doesn't pay
to advertise. Now the truth is, speaking ef
Albany, there is no better place to buy
grocertei than at Conn Bros. Their prices
are low and their goods first-class. Those
who do not heed this will be the ones to get
mad.
