LOCAL RECORD.
Farkwki.l Party. This morning Mr.
George Mason who has been visiting in Al
bany for several weeks, left on an extended
lour previous to returning to his home In
Missouri. He will do the Sound country ;
thence go to Minnc.ipolisand from there to
Mexico, from which country he will re
turn to Missouri. Last evening in honor
of the gentleman a farewell party was given
at the residence of his brother, Mr. 1). P.
Mason. It was attended by a large num
ber of friends and was a very nice affair.
We were in hopes Mr. Mason would locate
in Albany, as he seems to be a young man
of solid character.
Work Dkul'n. Mrs. Stewart, Mrs.
Burmestcr and daughter and the Misses
Althouse returned from the Bay yesterday.
A Democrat man learned from them that
work had been begun on the south jetly,
the break made during the winter being re
paired first, previous to more active opera
tions. During the season the north jetty
will be begun. It will run directly through
the place now devoted to bathing, and
hence will drive that pastime on to the
north beach, where by t';e way there arc
several fine places, and as there is no un
dertow, it is just as safe. The large appro
priation will make it possible now to push
work on both jetties.
ASuaSkrpknt. We have been looking
for some time for a sea serpent story from
some of our summer resorts. One has
reached us from near Fort Stevens, and
the Pioneer tells it. Will Warren, of As-
toria first saw the monster. It was 500 feet
long and as big as a light house. Bob Fos
ter was notified and arrived in time to get a
squint at it. The paper says : "As he dis
tipearcd the starboard point of his tail
struck the end of the jetty knocking out
about fifty spiles and nearly disabling the
pile-driver. Warren is a truthful man and
would not lie without he Is paid for it, so
it must be that the Columbia has been
favored with a visit from a real sea ser
pent." Of course the matter is simply a
joke.
DiKU. Mrs. Willis Cainesdied atSoda
vllle, Friday evening, Aug. 31, at the age
of 67 years. Mr, and Mrs. Gaines went to
that place from their heme in Scio precinct
several months ago for the benefit of Mr.
Gaines' health. About two weeks ago
Mrs. Gaines, whose health had been mod
erately good, was taken ill from a com
plication of diseases, and continued to fail
until herdcath. Mr. Gaines, it was thought,
could not lire another day. Mr. and Mrs.
Gaines were among the earily pioneers of
Linn county and were people highly re
spected throughout the country.
Will dk First-Class. Albany will
have a first-class restaurant when Mr.
Parker begins business in the .Strahan
Block. A paper at his former home says :
"Mr. Parker understands the ways and,
means of giving his customers the best of
meals and if he don't get a big run, it will
be because the people up north don't know
what good eating is."
Sold Out. Mr. Crossen, of Crosscn &
Allen, has sold his Interest In the dray and
express business In this city to his partner,
who will run the business alone hereafter.
He is a prompt, reliable gentleman and will
keep up the reputation of the old firm.
Mr. Crosscn on next Tuesday will go east
on the G. A. R. excursion, and on his re
turn will probably go into business of some
aina nere.
Branch Office. The Farmers' and
. Merchants' Insurance Company of this
city will soon establish a branch office at
Chicago. J. K. Elderkln, Secietary will
take charge of It. He will remove his
laintly to that city in about three weeks.
Music Lessons. Miss Frances Gilbert
has returned to Albanr and is nowprenar.
ed to begin her fall class In music on the
piano ana organ. Those desiring Instruc
tions Will find Ml Gllhertol lh r.
of County Clerk Montague at the corner of
asinngion ana i ntra streets.
No Services. RCv. Pritchardand fam
ity returned to-day from Yaqulna Bay,
Their little boy, who was partially para
lyzed, Is no better. There will he no ser
vices in the Presbyterian church to-morrow;
but probably will a week hence.
Boots an d Suoes Call at A. B. Mc
Ilwaln's and see the ladies' kid and pebble
goat shoe, for $1 .50, former price $3.50.
A Democrat man has seen the shoe and
can pronounce it a remarkably cheap shoe
for the former price.
Born. To the wife of Mr. Miller, of the
real estate firm cf Burkhart & Miller, on
Saturday, Sept 1, iS83 a girl.
People have been told that this a free
country so many limes that they sort of get
tired of it. Every once In about six months
the Man About Town 'makes it a point to
make this statement and then follow It up
by taking our citizens to tuik for patronis
ing tramp tailors, and others in different
lines, when we have belter ones at home
who spend their money here and help
build up the community. It doesn't seem
to do much good either ; but we propose
to keep at it. When the Man About Town
finds that he can't gel good enough things
of home merchants, he will pack up and go
where he can.
II II- (
A gentleman In this city well jioslcd In
wheat matters says the trouble at Corvall!3
Is that the warehouses are forcing the mills
up. The latter giving two per cent prem
ium, the warehouse bids high, as there is
little to risk, and the mill does the buying,
In Albany there is a complete harmony
between the mill men and warehouses,
both of whom are purposing to offer the
highest price the market justifies. The
Democrat doesn't pretend any longer
understand the matter completely. What
ever the cause It is a fact that Corvallis just
now is leading the market. Uur ware
housemen and mill men, are square busi
ness men, and we do not see how the dif
ference can be laid at their feet.
n 11
The business of the draymen is a pretty
good indication of the business of a city.
The Man About Town Is reliably informed
that the business In this city has probably
aoubled In the last year or two. The num
bcr of drays has also doubled, and all of
them are generally kept running. More
reasonable prices also are charged here than
in most other places in Oregon. We un
derstand that in Salem the charges are
nearly double those in Albany.
An Incident. A little cpisodcoccurred
in the emigrant car of the upbound over
land, while the train was running between
Jefferson and Marion, Wednesday night
that nearly ended the life cf one small pas
senger. An emigrant who was traveling
with his wife and baby, hoggishly
prc-epiptcd the lower berth, at bed "time,
compelling the partner of his joys and sor.
rows to climb in the upper berth with the
baby. The woman thoughtlessly placed
the baby on the outside, and about the time
she fell asleep the infant tumbled out and
lit on the floor with a bang that called the
attention 01 several passengers and a brake-
man to the spot. The child was knocked
senseless by the fall, and when the brake-
man picked It up and showed it to the
woman she tainted. She was shortly
Drought to, out 11 was not until the trai
had passed Albany that any signs of ani
mation appeared in the baby. There was
considerable growling amongst the pas
senger" at the husband, whose selfishness
had caused the mishap Vidette.
Santiam Mines. Mr. Ryan McCleran
president of the Portland Mining and Mi.I
Company, has just returned from a ten.
days' sojourn at the company's property
on the Santiam. He reports a satisfactory
progress in the main working tunnel, it
now being In fiftv feet. Mr, McCleran
brought some handsome specimens of
new discovery. In fact, he says, the
the mountains are full of prospectors, who
are making new and important discoveries
every day in all directions. It may be

from all appearances, will have a brilliant
and prosperous maturity. Orcgonian.
West Side. The Idea of extending the
West Side road to Junction City Is being
revived.The following is from the Indepen
dence paper : It will be good news, If true,
that preparations are being made to extend
the West Side railroad through to Junction
City. Reports have it that this is to be the
case.and they are based upon the fact that
the Southern Pacific railroad has several
hundred tons of 6tecl rails at Junction City,
and is bringing more. When all the im
migration which passes through the valley
foes past our door instead of over on the
last Side some chance will exist for set
tling up Polk county with settlers on small
farms- Now don't go and draw all your
lands froii market on the strength of this
report, but still, if you want to sell, do so,
and go and buy some one else's farm.
Oregon Beauty for Sale. The cur
rent number of the New York Clir,con
tains an advertisement for the sale or lease
of the famous mare,Oregon Beauty, which
was killed by lightning on Coney Island
on June 15th last,and'which has since been
mounted for exhibition. The proprietor,
M, L. Reed, states that her value before
her decease was $10,000, but he does not
say how much he wants for her now. The
mane of the Beauty is now claimed to be
ten feet in length.

Sham Things. Mr. William Fortmlller
has a fine stock of pillow sham holders, at
almost half the customary price. Also a
stock of two part mattresses, a new thing,
and no sham either, the best arrangement
of the season. He has brought on some fine
upholstering goods for chairs, lounges, etc.
Old things made about as good as new by
their use. Call on Mr Fortmlller for the
best furniture generally.
