Former Albany Man Dead.
A telegram was received by Mrs. G.
W. Simpson of Portland this week in
forming her of the death of her father,
Mr. M. N. Keck after a short illness
with BrightB disease, at Bellevue Ohio.
Mr, Keck and family were for many
years residents of Albany. His wife
and eeven children survive him. Mrs.
Keck, Helen, Deborah and Crystal live
in Bellevue, Mrs. G. W. Simpson at
Portland, Mrs. W. A. Mack et Pendle
ton, and Newton and Mifllin at Chicago,
Assessed Too Low.
Timber land in Linn county is
ftseesBed at $2 and less an acre, perbapB
. some slightly more. It is the same else
where in tbe state.
The Democrat calls the attention of
the county officials to the fact that this
is too low compared with the assessment
of other property. Good timber land is
worth at least $15 an acre. As consid
erable of this land is owned by outsiders
it is only right that the assessment
should be in keeping with that of other
property.
Card of Thanks.
With a. deeply grateful eense of the
unremitting kindness of our friends and
neighbors, including the A. F. & A. M.,
O. E. 8., I. O. O. F., and employers oi
theS. P. Co., during our recent aillic

In connection with tbe Btale oratorical
iquabble a ptofessor of the state univer.
slty accnBea MIsb Gauss of Newberg,wbo
received the second prise, of inventing
hiBtory in her oration on "The Spirit of
John Marshall .'' The professor criti
cises her on three points. First ber state
ment that Man Dull as tue nrai su-
nreme judge, "whereas Jay was the first
Buoreme judge," but Jay waB the first
chief nstice, and the spirit of her Ktate
ment ib probably misconstrued. Second,
her statement that "trance learneu
from his lip" tbat America would pay
millions for defense but not one cent lor
tribute," words of Pinckney, but as
a matter of fact in connection with a
mission in which Pinckney. Marshall
and Madison were tbe participants.
Third, the credit given to Marshall .( a
large portion ol the honor of securing
the adoption ol tbe constitution by tbe
Viraina ratifying convention, belonging
to Madison. On Feb. 4, 1901, Judge
Geo. H. Williams delivered an addretB
on jobn Marshall before tbe legislative
om hi u nf the state of Oregon, In
whinh. nn this Bubiect. be said : "Patrick
Henrv. James Monroe anr. ueo. uiaeou
were tbe leadeie ol tnose opposed to he
constitution: ana )ohn Marshall, Jamee
Mad eon and Mmutia nauau'pu were
