LOCAL RECORD.
Speaks Out. The following from Ihe
Lebanon Efrc s is at least entitled to a
hearing : "Tho gambling hells eutraped
many of the guileless in Albany on the
27th Inst., as usually with all circuses, Sell8
Bros, was no exception with its vampires
blacklegs and cunning thieves. They set
the bait so tempting, decoy so adroitcly
that before the victim suspects any foul
play, he is fleeced out of his rczdy cash.
We are sorry that some of our Lebanon
boys were so badly taken in by these low
down thieves, and while they may be wiser
and sadder men, it is no reason why this
open and public wrong should be allowed
under the very order of 'license' fiom the
cky fathers of Albany. The municipal
authorities have no right, moral or evil, to
allow this public robbery of our citi.ens,for
these open street robbers are no belter than
burglars, and should receive the treat
ment." Figurk It Out. Take your slate 'this
cool Monday evening and te'.l the
wherefore of the following : "A farmer
had thirty geese which he concluded to
take to market and sell at the rate ef two
geese for $. His neighbor also had thirty
geese which he asked the farmer to sell for
him at the rate of three geese for $i.
When he arrived in town with the si-:ty
geeschc was met by a man whorsked how
he would sell the geese. 'If you take all
together you can have the lot at the rate of
five geese for $2,' the farmer replied. The
bargain was made and the farmer received
his pay, $24. When he paid $10 to his
neighbor for his thirty geese at three for
$1 and counted his balance it struck him
that he ought to have $15 for his own thi. iy
geese (two for $1), while he only has $14,
and he woiiderid what become of the other
dollar. Why rMd he not have $i5for his
geese ?
Getting Even. "Dr. Freeman, of Mo
lalla, was the other day arrested and ar
raigned before Justice Randall to answer a
charge brought against him of practicing
dentistry without a license. The doctor
waived examination and gave $300 bonds.
The suit was instigated by one Thomas
whom the doctor pummelled thoroughly
for dragging his domestic affairs into the
newspapers. Thomas' motive is apparent
ly revenge." Statesman.
Burned. Yesterday, Mamie, the three
year old daughter ef Mr. Jos. Meyers, the
blacksmith of Lebanon, was playing with
some matches when they became igni'cd
and her clothes caught on fire, burning
rapidly. Fortunately members of the
household were near, and the flames we. e
extinguished ; but not until the little girl's
face and arms had been badly burned, and
in time to save the child's life. 'She is now
doing well and will recover.
Fire Meeting. There will be a special
meeting of Albany Engine Company No.

purpose of making arrangements for the
formal housing of the new steamer. All

The M. A. T. The Man about Town is
requested to ask the following question:
Why Is it that Chinese made cigars are
used almost exclusively In Albany, al
though American mp.de cigars can be had
here In abundance? Will some of our
smokers stand up on their toes and give
the answer?
The Reason. While wheat was 75
uenls at Albany and 78 at Corvallis It was
70 at Salem. ' Were the Oregon Pacific
steamers able to be running on the river
the price at Salem would undoubtedly be
equal to the Albany price, as it will when
the fall rains set in.
Strawberries A Salem paper Is
boasting of somo ripe strawberries. Will
some one please bring a bunch Into the
Democrat office. Wc must keep 'this
September strawberrv business before the

Queer Compact. To-day a party of
thirty-one young men left Indiana for
Washington Tenitprv, where they will
form a stock company for the purpose of
carrying on a stock ranch. A peculiar
feature of their agreement is that no mem
berof the firm can draw his money out of
t!ie general fund during the first five years
after the date of oranlzntlon. Any one
leaving the busiriess will fo.fcit his invest
ment of $500, which is the sum put in by
each member. The yoi'ng men will do
their own herding, branding and dealing,
and will thus be enabled to avoid the ex
pense ef cowboys. Those Interested in the
move live mainly In the vicinity of Rich-mond.
Everything is now very dry and our oil!

$3.75, and Chinamen would saw, split and
carry It into the cellar for to cents. Now
a cord costs $4 ; the steam saw charges 50
kcui. a coro. 10 saw it ana vmnese demand
75 cents to split and house the wood. In
other words, wood in the cellar cost three
years ago $3.25, and now the house keeper
has to pay $5.25, an increase of $2 a
cora. neicomt.
