It Is Business. The New York World, sometimes ac cused of being yellow, says the world is becoming more temperate, at leuit this part o! the world, a result wbicb it attributes to the demands o( ao oiety and business. "Hard drinkers are no longer countenanced by deeirable so ciety," it eays, and gives IbU fact tact as one of the reasons. Neatly all the railroads of the country have established strict rules prohibiting the nee of liquor by employeei;, Why? Be cause It la bttsineBB. The man who driuka much cannot be depended upon, and the railroad mu it have men who CAN BE relied upon. The natnre o the business requires this. No one would wish to ride on a train of cars witb an engineer bold of the throttle while in an intoxicated condition, and it baB been learned from experience that the man who drinks little, soon drinks much and it takes little to go beyond tbe line of sobriety. It is a cold fact, a mere item of none, that the drink babble less popular than It was. A few years ago it was an odd lty for a mere newspaper to speak ont against tbe drink habit, Now a good many papere do so. A striking example is that of the great lloaret papers, backed by tbe inimitable illustrations of Homer Davenport. The editorial on tbe tub ject are of an educational character, very emphatic in their naturo, and cannot help having an influence against a habit that injures every ono addicted to it. In advooating temperance the Dkmo cbat believes it ia simply taking a posi tion in ftivor ol good government ana in tbe inlorest of society. A position in fa vor ol the business man. It is doing no more than the directors of a railroad who demand sober employees, or of (he mer chant who tuelsta for bis own protection and that of hie customers that bis clerk leave intoxicating liquor alone. It is simply a position In favor of what ie right. Albany's Pnst. From the Dbmocrat, Feb. 24 to March 30, 1883. A now 330 pound bell baa been placed in position in tbe Oaihoiio school build ing.

Joseph Cbamoerlain will himself go to South Africa to examiue into conditions tbere. But tbe sore spot will not be healed. A boy ol sixteen was recently married to a girl of fourteen in Weetern Pennsyl vania. Half tbe people twice the age are hardly ready to be married. Republican papers generally claim a victory in the coming congressional elec tion, but all admit that It will be witb tbe Ivies of several congresamen. This fact shows wbicb way tbe wind is blow ing, A writer in a magazine tells of a young man finding a $10 bi'l and spending the remainder of his lile looking for more $10 bills, ending bis life in rags. The moral ie so plain that tbe Democrat doesn't need to state it. A Japanese young woman attending a college in tbe United States recently stated that tbere are two things which she wished to teach tbe Japauesj when she returns to Japan: one 1b Christianity and tbe otber ia to make ice cream, A man wrote. a perBonal letter to tbe President asking for an appointment an poalmaBter on the grounds that when be got married bis wife weighed only 140 pounds, but now ber weight waa just double that, and be was having bis bands more than full to get rlong. Tbe President's boo recently objected to riding with a woman as tbe coashman. ThiB lact, of no importance at ail, was considered worthy of being telegraphed all over the oountry, Tbere are some things that make one tired outeide tbe field of labor. It is announoed that there ia to be a war between the big etool treat and a ri val company with1 an immense capital recently organized. This Bounds very good ; but it ia aa'e to guosa that witbin a few months there wil! be a merger of the two big concerns and tbe people will again be nipped . That ie tbe history of tbe past. The decision of Judge Burnett that a hop contract ia merely a mortgage has caused general comment among all inter ested in the bop qusation. The deeision will meet witb lavor by all those familiar with the course of the contractors when tbe price goes down instead ol up. Heretofore there baa always been a way ol getting out of the arrangement by divers excuseB in reference to the hopB not being marketable, etc. Die hop con tract or mortgage should at least be looked upon with ditfavor as against public policy. The Examiner Bays that women should think in a straight line, that they think too often' in oirelea or jumpB. This may be true; but It Is also true of a great many men. Some of then; tbink in bops and jumps, and just about as many ae among tbe women. On the other hand there aro a great many women who do some very straight think!ng In a very logic.il way. It is hardly fair to pick out the women aa a sex aud accuse them ol being spasmodic thinkers, when it is a fact that tbe trouble witb the world gen. erally is that there is too much bit and miss thinking, Cascade Rnnc Forest Reserve. Professional Paper No. 9, United States Geological Survey, now in riobs, consists of reporte upon Foreat Condi tions in tbe Oascado Range Forest He Berve of Oregon, by Messrs. U. D. Lan gillo, Fred U. Plummer, Arthur Dodwell and Tbeodoro F. Rixon, with an intro duction by Mr. Henry Gannett, Goog ranher, to which has been added the re port of Mr. J. B. Leiblg, relating to the southern end of tbe reserve, which has already been published in the Twenty Srst annual Report of the Survey. The area of the reserve, including the recent additions, ia 7,254 square miles It 1b tbe largest of all the reserves, ex tending from Colombia River on tbe north southward across the State nearly to tbe California boundary. The total area of tbe reserve ia 4,883, 6SS acres, of which 4.101,704 acros, or 85 per cent are forested ; only 8 per cent, or one acre in twelve and one-half, it burned; only 6 per cent, or one acre in twenty, is opin country; and one per cent of the land cons.sts jf barren rocks, ice, etc., tbe remaining one per cent consisting of water surface and of longed and cultivated land. Tbe total stand ol timber upon the re serve slightly exceeds 50,000 million feet B. M., or enough to supply the U. 8. for a year and a ball. Cpon the west of tbe Cascade Range red fir forms 03 per cent of all the timber. Rsat of tho range yel low pine constitutes 37 per cent of the limbor. Tut. aversgs stand of timber upon the timbered area of the rejerve Is 8,200 feet per acre.

Biiytu Tbe Telegram gives a good picture ol Hod. W. R. Bilyeu and the following sketch: Hon. W. R. Bilveu, of Albany, one of Linn County's Representatives In tbe next Legislature, will not be a new man in legislative halls, as be bas already served eight years in tbe Oregon Legis lature, He was first elected to the State Senate in.1878 for four years. In 1882 he waa re-elected for another term of four years in tbe Senate, and became one one of tbe moBt, prominent men in that body. Born in Missouri in 1847 he crossed the plains lo Oregon in 1802. He was educated at;tue Pacific University, and graduated from that institution in 1873. He soon bsgan the Btudy of law, and baa since devoted himeeli to tbe legal pro fession. For the last 30 years Mr. Bilyeu baa been prominently Identified witb Oregon Democracy, but bas held no public offices, with tbe exception of hie termB in the Senate. In 1888 be wag one of the'.Democratic electors on tbe Oleve landticket, i but Harrison carried tbe state. In the recent hotly conteated campaign In Linn.Connty, when the officers were about evenly divided between the Re publicanB and tbe Democrats, and even the Legislative ticket waa divided, Mr . Bilyen'B great popularity, together witb hii previous record as a statesman, car ried him to victory. Becauae of hlB great height and characteristic pose, Mr. Bilyeu is a noticeable figure in any con vention, and this, together witb tbe fact tbat he began his political career in the far-famed forks of the Santiam, bas caused bia friends to give hiuj several pet political names by which ho is popu larly known.

Urover Cleveland denies tbat becauEe he made a speech he is in politics again. This will be learned with gratification by many. He has retired. The Oregonian has thrown a bomb by having discovered tbat a U. S . senator could be elected at a special session if held, and declares tbat this will knock any extra session. Tho Tracey spirit continues to be abroad. At a train hold-up near Butte, Hon., the robber boaBted to the naaaen- gera tbat he was the same man who held up the train near Eugene about a year ago. Several papers are comparing Albany and Eugene in population as given out i by the new Albany directory. Tbe basis , isiby no means authentic, Guard. Just as authentic on the part of Albany as on tho part ef Eugene, and perhaps more eo. j If all the people whose palms indicate a coming fortune ahould realize their ex- pectations Albany would soon be the home of millionaires. The Democrat man was given just thirty three weeks lor biB strike. As Portland Academy last Saturday defeated the Bishop Scott team under tbe famous Copt. Fisher 32 to 0 it means tbat Albany will have to do some rust ling next Saturday. The Academy team is one of tbe best in the etate, furnish ing tbe Multnomahs some of their best players. From tbe Guard: A mau who came here two years ago from the east was to day talking of Oregon's equable climate. In terse language be said: "No sun strokes, no hydrophobia, no Buffering from cold, no wild storms, no drouth why Oregon is the beet state in the Union and I've lived all over the country and know." The U, of O. people hod better wait until their foot ball team has played another game with Albany before boast ing too much and making Billy explana tions. It is not a fact at all tbat in the former game with Albany they played like babies. They were simply in the hands of one of tbe finest foot ball teams in the state, a team then without much practice. Tbe Toledo Reporter bas its usual joke at the expense of an Albany man as follows : F. A. Dawson, the genial druggist, came down from Albany Wednesday ac companied by his best dog Jack. Fred will make extensive improvements on hiB raucb, harveat his enormous crop of spuds, sow doodles of grass, seed, instruct his dog in the art of pathfinding and let the salt sea breeze blow through his whiekers ad lib. He also brought word to his brotuer Elks of Toledo that tbe "Best People on Earth" will have a hiu powwow in Albany in about three weeks and invited the local members to be present and ebaro in the good time ex pected. A New York ministet last Sunday in delivering bis farewell sermon made re marks thought deserving a place in the dispatches of the associated press. He Baid : "Make your life more simple, even if you bave to make it less fashionable. Tbe world wants to see a real difference between Christians and other people in their attitude toward money. A Chris tian can uae money ae a servant, but if he makes it tbe ruler ot bis life, his practical God, then his Christianity is a lie. Men blame tbe church for paying too much reverence to wealth. It is not the church that is at fault; it is tbe people who make up the church," ::t i fi- n LiijIiIjI.I, Hi-. Thomas Clancy, of Litchfield, Neb, wrote us a few weeks ago about bis exper ience with Dr tiuua'8 Blood and Nerve Tonic. As his case may be similar to others it naturally would be of interest to them to know tbe rtsult ol his test. He had been haunted lor years with a gradual growing weakness until he was reduced tn almost a shadow. His complexion was sallow and pimply, had dizzy and sinking spells, witb loss of memory and ambition Always felt tired aud cntdone, suffered greatly with nervousness, and felt tbat bis heart's action waa weak. His digestion was so poor his system received no nutri tion. He says he commenced tbe ute of thia tonic, tasing one tnblet after each meal, He did not notice much change after tuing one box only he enjoyed bis meals better, still he kept on un'il he ha used six boxes. He used the last box more than six mo.it lis ago.

Abbott, highway commis sioner for tbe Bockey Mountain and Pacific Coast diviBion of the department of agriculture arrived in Albany last evening and met with a number of Al bany's prominent citizens, headed by County Judge Palmer, in the Alco Club rooms, where an informal talk was given by Mr. Abbot upon practical road build ing. His suggestions from tbe start were practical ones in reference to mak ing good roads. He would make the grade 30 to 35 feet, which is sufficient, covering it with gravel or crushed rock, screening tbo latter and giving it a smalt mixture of clay for packing. The plan is, clay, 1)i inches of small rock, 1 of pulverized rock and a top of clay. A 16 foot track properly rounded, is about right. Tbe better it ie rolled and packed the better the road. The grade iB 1 foot in 12, There should be two foot ditches for drainage, Tbe average cost in the east for Macadam roads ia $8,000 to $9,000, but when once secured a county bas a road tbat will last with very little repairing to be done. Free literature on the subject of road build ing, Mr. Abbott stated, could be secured of Martin Dodee, U. S. director of high ways in the department of agriculture, at Washington, D. O, This morning Mr. Abbott, accom panied by Manager Slone, who hag taken an energetic and commendable interest in the matter, and other, prom inent citizens, left for tbe tiranite auarrv on the North Santiam to make an in spection of its resources. A Fine Composer. The compositions of the Oavaliere Emilio Rivela, director of Cilery's Royal Italian Band to bs in Albany Friday night are attracting attention, wherever the band has played, and bid fair to rival in popularity soon those of any of tbe recent generation of American com posers. Bivela's compositions are quite familiar in Italy, and in fact generally throughout Europe, where be is recog- n zoo. as a composer ot considerable merit for bith the piano and bands. . Among tbe Oavaliere's recent compos itions is a march dedicated to the swell train on tbe Northern Pacific, tbe North OoaBt Limited, after which the march is named. The march is rcpidly becoming as popular among music lovers as is this beautiful train among lovers of luxury in travel. His "Diavolo Rossi," "Fes tival," and "Return From Turin," marches are all three making a splendid bid for popularity and are being well re ceived wberevei played. The "Return From Turin" was written by the Oav aliere under the inspiration of having won the King's tropbv at Turin in the national concourae of bands two veara ago, in competition with over one hun dred bands, each cf which numbered over forty instrumentalists. Besides the marches. Rivela has comnosed gen eral other light selections, which are quite pretty and are winning popular favor.
