The will of Mr. Thomas Umphrey, just deceased, has been filed with the County Clerk. It was made on Aug. 39th, o this year, in anticipation of death. Under it Eva, Louisa and Albert, children of John Umphrey, deceased, arc each to receive $1000 on becoming of age. Mr Albert Umphrey receives 30 acres on the Corvallls road, Mrs Sarah Cooper, $25, and the remainder of the estate both per sonal and real is left in four parts to Mrs Julia Parker, Mrs Mary Parker, Mr Albert Umphrey and the children of Samantha I Cowan. Mr Albert Umphrey was appoint executor. The estate is valued at $10,000. Drummers. The drummer from the East as much as any other class of people gives us an idea of what Eastern people think of this country, and how absolutely ignorant they are of us. A day or two ago one received a letter at this city informing him In a serious manner that Harrison was elected, not as a joke, but the writer thought he had probably not heard of it. Another one says his "boss" told him he would have to go well prepared, as he would have to travel mostly in wagons, whereas he had not been in one at all. Another commercial tourist after reaching the Columbia wrote back to a friend de scribing in glowing but not exaggerated words our country. He received an answer like this : "Your description is very nice; but I believe it is a d d lie." And so we might continue instances. These show what we have to contend with. The truth is we are not as much in the back woods as a majority of the towns in any of the Eastern states; we wear as many ping hats, b,iy as much siik and in fact dress bet ter than in many places much larger. We read as much and get the news just as early. For genuine civilization this valley will take a reserved seat with most any country. Dkatii From Small Pox GusThomp son the small pox patient about five miles out from Brownsyille,died yesterday morn ing. People about Brownsville are con siderably alarmed and are getting vaccinat ed by the scores. Mrs. Thompson, the wife of the deceased is prostrate over the loss of her son, Clyde, fallowed by the loss of her husband.

Give him a call. Express. About as Reported First, Further particulars of the shooting accident at Brownsville, show that young Walker had returned from a hunting expedition and with his companion had gene into a store or billiard hall. He was sitting on a stool, when in drawing his gun towards him the hammer struck something discharging the gun. A Coroner's jury found in accord ance with the facts. They are Coming. Trains over the Northern Pacific coming westward are said to be filled with people bound for Oregon and Washington Territory. They are fleeing as fast as possible from the cold weather and blizzards of the East to our salubrious climate. Hurrah. But what shall we set them to doing. An Albany Firm O'Conner & Barr, of this city, and William Harrigan, of Sa lem, were let the contract yesterday for building the Salem street car line, their bid being $6595. The track will be over a mile long. One Cent More Wheat is 77 cents In Salem and 76 here. What's the matter that that down the river city is allowed to over reach us one cent.

Try our mince mnat in glass, its fine. Wallioe & Tiiohson. Montetih & Sei their IMMENSE Call early before Un explainable. Recently the writer visited that section and learned that the ty phoid epidemic which has been raging in the Big Bend country is a terrible and un explainable one. The graveyards at Ritz- ville, Watcrville and other towns have been occupied by new made graves and many a mourner is left to bewail the loss of loved ones. Strong men, who never before ex' perienccd a sick day in their lives, were strickencd down almost inaday, and many there were whose lives were thus sudden ly ended. The epidemic is one of those mysterious happenings which can be ex plained on no grounds of scientific hygeine. The climate is said to be salubrious and agreeable, and the general state of the weather not conducive to diseases, Salem Journal. Mack's Vine. Seeral weeks ago the Democrat referred to a tomato vine in Wm. McLaughlin's tailorshop back yard that reared its trained limbs upward nearly thirteen feet. The item was quite gener ally copied. To-day we jokingly asked Mack how his vine was sagaciating. He said it was there and growing. A Demo crat man found the statement true. The vine is almost if not quite fourteen feet tall, lapping the top of the woodshed, and several new blossoms are basking in the salubrious sunshine of our glorious climate. Cool nights have had no effect on it, and Mack thinks it only a question of time when it will be as high as Jack's famous bean stalk. HOME AND ABROAD. Harrison ' plurality in Michigan was 22.- 966. . Hen J H Peery, of Dotyville, was in the city to-day. Leslie Matoon, operator in Eastern Ore goo, is here on a visit. A fine stock of artists materials at Dr Cuias & Son's. No better in the Valley.

Nearly all the lions in the vallev have been sold at a good price. It haa boeu a flourish ing year generally. This is no indication of next year. Not Greeley alone said it. hut Cleveland also said "Go, Wast," and really this great western country begins to feel the effect of it. Immigration is rapidly increasing. John Grasse is the name of a nrominen Sioux Chief. When the Indian agent is pest tered for favors by a pleading braye he tells mm promptly to go to Uraase. The stocks of holiday goods in Albany this season are uncommonly fine, displaying great artistic taste and originality of design, and the people here know how to appreciate the ueauumias wen as any where in this big world. Mark Twain declares that his sneech for tarilf reform in Connecticut carried that state This is not as inuoh of a joke as Dr. waits claim taat fie carried JNew lorK.

Opinion Dy inayer, Resolutions, In another column we publish resolutions, received at this office last evening, In memory of Stephen C. Fllnn, a member of the class of '90 of Princeton college. They are a just tribute to a noble young man, and show the great appreciation in wnicn ne was neid among nis teiiow students. No Doubt op It. Barney Bressler, the Insane tailor while in the county jail drew a good picture of the Insane asylum at Al ameda, Cal. He was continually insisting that he was going to be president of the U. a. and his whole conduct shows that he was crazy. Nodoubt he has been in an asy lum before, probably the one at Alameda. Quite a number here, though, seem to doubt his insanity. The Cow Again. The prejudice against the cow has been materially aug mented lately by a whole band of the brutes getting Into the city cemetery and tramp ing down and destroying the flowers and shrubbery fixed by loved hands to decor ate the last resting place of departed friends.

D. D. Casement, T. F. Chambers, President. Secretary. Like a Dime Novel Deputy U. S Marshal Humphrey returned from Port land last evening, where he had been with Michael Moran, arrested for selling liquor to an Indian. Here is the dime novel de scription of him given by a Portland pa per : He is a 6ailor by profession and had not been long ashore in this wild and wooly Western land when his too susceptible heart was smitten with the charms of a dusky aboriginal maiden, Mary by name, and to elevate himself in her irood eraces procured a quantity of 40 rod whisky for uer. ne was duly neid. m m ii A Bridge. We understand that a move is on foot In Albany looking to the build Ing of a bridge across the river at that place.' One of the principal benefits which this would be to Albany is that it would receive the trade of the lower part of our county. A bridge built here would secure the trade of Linn and much more than bal ance what we would lose by the Albany onoge. nenton jeaaer. we naven tseen the move yet ; but it is possible one is ly ing arouno loose somewnere. Bridges Why wouldn't something like the following be a good thing for Albany Two bridges have been recently construct ed at Nebraska City, Neb:, across the Mis souri, at a cost remarkably low. A crib' work bridge 1050 feet In length over one arm of the river, and a pontoon draw bridge, 34 J$ feet wide over the main river, 1074 feet In length connecting with the other, cost only about $18,000 and were built in 28 days. It is proposed to remove the pontoon bridge when ice forms on the river. ... A Suggestion We suggest that In order to get a full expression on the cow question it be voted on at the coining elec tion.a place being arranged on both tickets for the purpose, and then let the majqrity- ruie. remaps tne council could 00 some thing in the matter.
