Itie location iu first class, tbe timber
bens being easily reached by tbe railroads
running out from here for log hauling.
Tim city le also situated on tbe Willam
ette, navigable most of the year by river
Steamers, giving it competing ratuj (of
transportation.
Daring the past few years a marked
increased interest in fruit and stock raja
ing baa been observed here, and Albany
has become the stock chipping oenter ol
tbe valley. In fruits particular attention
Iipb been paid to tbe production of prunes
and rapid progress bae been made.
Added to our industrial advantages are
(nave a climate of peculiarly agreeable
character, possessing the same amount
ol sunshine ne ia enjoyed along tho At
lantic cobb', with rain and clouda in ihe
winter and a high temperature in place
of enow and blizzards. This winter the
lowest temperature has been 22 degrees
above zero and the amount of Bnow bus
been only nominal, and then lasting only
one diy.
As a borne center we offer a aosial, in
telligent, well educated people, up with
the times in all matters.
While tbero are no twenty-dollar
pieces lying loose on the cornerB, the
man with push and energy, who does not
expect to make tbe whole world at i
jump, will find this valley not only i
garden epot, but a good place for Invest

reasonable gains.
The Steel Monopoly.
Detroit Freo Press.
It is not long since tbe United States
Steel Corporation acquired competing
Union and Sharon Steel companies that
It had closed a deal for tbe purchase of
tho Jones & Laughlin Company and the
Claireton Steel Oou'pany. All of thoee
concerns own large ore euppliea in the
Uppor Lnko Region, To clinch the sit
uation, making a hard and fast eteel mo
nopoly, there has now been a merger ol
the Carnegie Company, the National
Sloel Company and tbo American Steel
Hoop Company.
This is a aloel-riveted monopoly, aboo
lutely pr.ol rtgainut competion. Whether
it be law-proof Ib a quoation for the fu
ture. Tbe large promoted Independent
eteel enterprise that bad aecured five
millions in cash as a starter has lost no
time In enuQing Itsell out. The colosBal
trust doeB not have to put a dollar Into
the purchase of Independent organiza
tions, and probably will not do so unless
they bavo raw material among their as
Bote ; for the next natural move is to get
all the desirable ore.

A correspondent in the Eugene Regis
ter jelps atir up tbe oratorical squabble
as follows:
After the roasting which Miuehir, the
Newburg orator, received for following
too closely the thought of another, it was
ueuiuea mat i n trie luture, represents-
tives of tbe Q.taker college thould be very
careful about uaiog tbe lex', ol another,
Iu purpuanoe of Ibis resolve, tbe orator
from Newourg ih;p ear even went eo
tar as to invent biatory for uaa in her
oration. Yesterday's Oregooiaa coa
taiou the oration in fall, and it is claimed
by the writer's friends that she
sbould have been awarded first place, in
asmuch Bs Smith copied a large part of
thougbtof bis oration.
Just bo Newburg can claim the con
test on tbe oration delivered op the
"Spirit of John Marshal!" it ie difficult
t" conceive. The only redeeming feature
is that Marshall will never know how
many great things have been attributed
to which he bad nothing, or at least very
little, to do with.
Probably the moat careless and culpa
ble mistake in tbe oration is that it says:
"He (Marshall) is made first supreme
Judge of the United Stales." Every
etudeut of history knows that Jay waB
tbe first mpreme judge. Again Ibe
writer says, "France learned from his
lips that America would pay millions for
defenne but not one cent for tribute,"
Every eighth grade student knows that
these patriotic words were uttered by
Pinckney. Then tbe lady writer attri
butes to Marshall a largo portion of tbe
honor of securing tbe adoption of tbe
constitution by tbe Virginia ratifying
convention. This la also another rank
error, Madinon was the man who did
tbe great work in tbe Virginia conven
,lon and Marshall gave but very little as
sistance, TbU completes a catalogue of tbe
gravest errors, but still Newburg claims
first bouore at tbe expense of poor old
RaBtus Smith.
Edison's Many Patents.
Electricity.
The clerks of the Patent Office at
Washington, D. O., began Bevoral years
ago to keep a systematic account of the
patents ieeued to Those A. Edison. They
have his variouB inventions tabulated
and indexed, so Ibat they can put their
hands on each different idea he has pro
tected by patent from the beginning of
hie marvelous career of invention.
When a ponding ilaim ie allowed, as it
no doubt will be this month, Mr, Edison
will have received 731 patents in all. Be
is not adding to the list as many ideas
nowadays as he did Borne years ago. Up
to 1895 be bad taken out 711 patents.
Since then he has added to the list from
three to twenty patents each year. Last
year he took out nineteen. This year, eo
far, he baa received six. In ordinary
fees for palcnta Mr. Edieon haa spent
over $51,000.
