LOCAL RECORD.
Stukkd Puwkk. Mr. N. II. Allen, of
the Electric Light Co., in Investigating a
matter that Is probably one of the g.'cplcst
things of the present gcncral'on. It U a
storage battery. Power is s!ored i 1 a bat
tery so tlj.it it can be used entire'. separ
ate from the source of the power. It has
already been used to run street ca's and
machinery of dif'e.e.it kinds. The idea is
one to stagger one. You store your power
away and use it when you wish, and are
not dependent on any main force. It is a
splendid thing particularly for running
elcctiic lights, as it can be used with
greater availability in residences, stores, in
fact anywhere and can bcopcraicd at high
noon if desired. In the matter of small
machinery it is particularly des'rable, as 11
is not necessary to get up steam or wait for
the evening water gate to be lifted. Mr.
Allen expects to get a quantity of these
wonderful batteries in time, and they wil
prove a big addition to his already line
plant, and will alo bring out divers new
uses for electric power in the city.
New Usk i-or Melons. "It has been
practically demonstrated by M.S. K. J.
Kamsdeil, says the Grant't Pass Courier,
"that a number one syrup can be made
from watermelon cider, she having experi
incntcd in this way. From two gallons of
cider made from the pulp of two or three
small melons, a pint of as fine flavoied
syrup was made as one could desire. That
from which syrup can be made will also
produce sugar, after undoing the usual
process, and melons, it is authori.atively
stated, will produce about four times as
much saccaharrint: as that jwti the sugar
cane.
Detectives Postmaster Roby and the
postal Inspectors at this place say they are
continually botherd by applications from
would-be-detectives, who want employ
ment in hunting tip the lost $10,000 regis'
try package. All kinds of tramps, from the
gilt edge street fakir to spirtualistic medi
ums, call at all times of the day and night,
with "dead sure" schemes to catch the
thief. One young man said he could lay
his hands on the money in a few days, but
as he was so willing to tackle the job on a
small salary and a large amount of notorie
ty, his application was laid on the tabic.
Telegram.
A Paper, For the past few days a ru
mor has been afloat that two San Krancls
coans, whose names can not be learned,
contemplate publishing an eight-page
democratic daily in this city, the first num
ber to be issued on Monday next. These
parties are alleged to have offered the Ntwt
people $10,000 for the plant, and if they
cannot get it for that figure they will buy a
new one. Telegram. In the meintime
subscribe for the Democrat.
For Health. There is more truth than
fiction In the following, from the Pendle
ton E. O., when applied to summer trips
generally : "It has been noticed by a sta
tistical individual that about one half the
people who went to the mountains this
season were brought home sick. He has
also noticed that a majority of the unfor
tunates who have been or are now 111 in
Pendleton from typhoid fever or other dis
eases had spent a week or two In the
mountains, while those who stayed at home
escaped. It would be hard to explain this
anomaly.
Military Ball. "F" Co's. grand mill
tary ball to be given Sept. 14, will be the
event of the season for dancers of Albany

The Difference. The price of wheat
In Portland is 83 cents, in Albany 75 cents.
Previous to the advent of the Oregon Pa
cific the difference In price was about 17
cents. That road has really added over 8
cents a bushel to the price of wheat.
Waterloo. For solid enjoyment go to
Waterloo, which Is now on top. Fine lo
cality, fishing, boatin; and bathing, and
splendid accommodations at J. G. Gross's
Ills prices are reasonable. Horses fed at
lowest possible rates. Mr. Gross will meet

and Saturdays: Campers can obtain sup

Notwithstanding farmers are apt to keep
their wheat tor a possitritey 01 a higher
market, which is all right if they don't wait
too long, it is a faet that when it gets up to
75 cents a great many sell sir all quantities
for immediate wants and pressing debts, and
it puts considerable mouey into circulation
Already this is felt ia Albany.

An Immense Chasm The discovery is
announced of another natural phenomenon
near the Rogue river falls. Rcsidmt. n
hat vicinity have long been familiar with
the beauties of "blue can von." il,rr,1,
which the south fnrk Hows for a consider-
ble distance; but it has only recently been
announced that that picturesque canyon
merges Into a far deeper go- .;co.-ri.'t in the
mountains, through which the sou'h fork
linds its way to the main e.-fm. Tl,r-r,
are no roads through that sec: ion, aid but
one trail, from which travelers seldom st -ay
through the heavy timber a.id dense un
dergrowth, and this marvel of the upper
country has hither'o been unnoticed The
uecpcsi portion 01 the canvon is about 700
teet, sheer descent, and the chasm at the
top is but about twenty feet across ack-
sonvitic limes
Some Sense. Mr. C. H, Lewis, of Port'

75 Cents. A farmer, from near Tom

A Pair. Mr. Zephin Job and Capt. Bo
gardus took a two hours hunt last Satur
day afternoon. Zephin killed nine birds
without missing a shot. The Capt. killed
eleven, but missed two fair shots. This is
probably the best hunting team that ever
shot over Oregon ground. Capt. Bogani
us spoke highly of Zeph's shooting. The
hunt v.-s conducted in a sportmanlike
manner, each taking onlv his own side.

Of Col-rsk. The latest authentic infor
mation concerning the mooted question is
from a well-known hat firm of San Francis,
co, which writes to J M Rosenberg & Co.,
of Salem, fiat the pearl hat with the black
band, Is positively the only genul.te Harri
son hat, and all others are counterfeit.
They say tliPt the San Franc'sro ;cpubli
cans, headed by Mi';e DeYou-.tg, and In
cluding the famous Liiio and Harrison
clubs, have adopted the black band, and that
ought to scale it ; which it probably won't
do. Statesman.
