OUR GOVERNMENT.
From Harper's Weekly:
Taft is up at Beverly studying the

- Knox is off vacationing office door is
shut;
Wickcrsham is wandering, quieting
Ins nerves;
Ballingcr is telling how people miss
his curves; '
Dickinson is dallying in the summer
breeze;
Hitchcock lias gone hurrying off and
over seas:
Nagcl takes his case somewhere, so

The government goes on in its pleas

Oh, but this is wonderful! Can it ever

That we do not need a staff in Wash

Not a soul upon the job, and still the
country lives!
No committees pouring lovely whitc-

No one pointing now with pride or
viewing with alarm
Just the hustle-bustle in the city, town
and farm.
'Let's keep still about it while the

Smith for congress.
J G. Smith, of Grants Pass, an
nounces that he will run for Congress
on the democratic ticket. There will
probably be no opposition to him in I
the primaries. He is a prominent citi
zen of Southern Oregon and has made
good in public atlairs,
As a member
of the state legislature he represented

On account of his position on the m
speakership, giving Cannon a hearty : r
support, there is a strong opposition
to Jtawley, anil also hecause ol his
support of the assembly. At the same
time as a member of congress he has
done the people of his district a good
many favors, which always counts and
will bring him some votes regardless
of the asseiMy and C::nnoni:;ni. Mul
key, the man against him, is an able

will beat lluwley; but there is a good
deal of uncertainty about it. Which
ever man is nominated the contest will
be a good one with a good show for
Smith during this year of great inde
pendence.
IRRIGATION IN THE WILLAM
ETTE VALLEY. j
Irrigation in the Willamette Valley
is considered almost a joke, and yet,
as a matter of fact it is a serious mat
ter. A. P. Stover, under the U. S.
government, during the past three
years has been making an investiga
tion, one of the stations being at Al
bany, and makes a report showing
the much greater possibilities under
irrigation. Under it il is said crops
can practically be doubled. Ill this
valley the annual rainfall is only about
fortv inches, most of this coming in
the 'winter, very little along in the
season when it would be of untold
value to crops, making a full crop
sure. It is a matter of great import
ance and one deserving promotion.
KEEP TOGETHER.
Another Get-to -Gcthcr ki.-c:-...,-
. in
bc held tonight at the cu:r..:io: j...l c...
rooms. As a matter of fact for a
couple of years Albany business men
have been working together well, with
more harmony than generally prevails
in a cily. And yet nowhere is there
alwavs iiarmony, and it is a good idea
to keep getting together anyway in
good will and fellowship. Perhaps
more than any others do our real
estate men need to do this, not forni
ii g any trust, but letting others do
business wlnjrc it is impossible to land
it oneself, never knocking a proposi
tion because in some other olliee.
These monthly meetings are good
things and deserve being made a reg
ular program in the interest of greater
things in Albany.

ANERVEY
RIDER.
Some people give up when they lose
a finger, or a hand or leg. There was
a different kind of a fellow here to-day,
a young man without any arms at all.
His business was trick bicycle riding
and collecting pay for the same. He
was an expert at both, a crack rider,
and he could beat seven women talking.
"Don't forget the hat," he kept re
marking and "Just starting the wheel."
After doing some great tricks for a
man with or without arms he announced
the nerviest trick yet, the picking up
the last of ten coins, finally placed at
five, while on his wheel. When done
he simply lay the wheel down, stood on
the rim and with his two toes put it on
one and tossed ii up with it, certainly
an exhibition of nerve; but a man with
out any arms is entitled to have nerve.
A brother of the rider acted as cash
icr.
A week or two ago there was a fel
low here without any legs doing bicycle
tricks. They excite one's admiration
in not giving up. but doing something.
MARRIED.
Galbraith-Payne.
In Bellingham. Wash., recently, Hon.
J. P. Galbraith and Mrs. E. E. Payne.
They are now at home in Blaine, Wish.,
where Mr. Galbraith is in the U. S.
seavice, inspector of foreign immigra
tion. He is a former county clerk of
this county, and Mrs. Payne was a res
ident of Albany for many years, both
people of solendid character and attain
ments, who will have the best wishes
of their man) Albany friends.
. :
Tangent,
Mrs. Ettie Campbell of Spokane, and
Mrs. Bessie Sco'.t. of Aberdeen. Wash.
are visiting their .mother Mrs. Emma
Jordan.
Miss Francis Bartcres. of Ashland.
stopped at Tangent to visit .with rela
tives a tew days.
J. F. Scott and family, who have
been at Silver Lake on a visit, passed
through Tangent on their way home to
Corvallis Tuesday.
W. A. Sharp and family of Albanv.
passed through Tangent Sunday with
bis auto, but they only went a few
miles when the machine balked and
hey had to send for an expert before
hey could proceed any further.
R. J. Moso3 and family expect to
move to their new country residence in
a few days.
The threshing season will soon be
over. .
Farmers are generally cmite well
satisfied with their crops, while the yield
is not so large as expected the quality
is good.
Some miscreants raided the melon
patch of Roy Driver and destroyed all
of his melons, and not bein? content
with that also ruined the vines.
.Back Prom Holley.
The members of G. Co. returned last
night from Holley, leaving the fire
there under control. The rain helped
materially. Mr. Gilbert, ot the Drew
Co., also did a great work with about
one hundred experienced men, the kind
needed in this work. The boys helped
some, but experienced woodmen are tne
kind needed in the work ol making
trails and ditches. The real damage in
this particular section is not very great
but it is some and people were well
frightened, and had occasion to be.
The boys had a valuable experience,
but were glad to be home and some of
them were needed in various ways
around town.
KnlerJ a Cougar.
Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Williams and
Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Hoskins, of Mc-
vtinnville. returned last niaht from an
outing of sometime at Detroit, leaving
for home. Mr. Williams was greatly
improved.
wnue nsning across tne river trom
Detroit, Mr. Williams and Postmaster
Hoskins had an interesting visitor, a
young cougar,' which endeavored to
catch a fish they were also after. In
stead or getting the nsn it got some
lead from Mr. Hoskin's gun. A paw
was brought to this city and the bounty
of $1 collected.
Anti Assembly Here.
L. Elbert Warford. of the Albanv
Herald, was in the city yesterday. He
states a personal canvas of linn county
shows that the assembly sentiment is
strong there and that ever thing is
t looking good for Bowerman. Salem
i Statesman.
' Instead of being good for Bowerman

I probably the weakest in Linn County of
