Several people In this city who were former residents of Linn county, Oregon, arc well acquainted with the notorious character, ''Gord" Cooper, now under arrest at Walla Walla for the brutal murder of the man Davis on the railroad below that city.

This gentleman who survived the brutal assmilt almost miraculously, now lives near Adams, this Public Scales. The Democrat is in' formed that a petition is to be presented the city of Albany by the grangers of the I of some public scales for the use of buyer and seller in the sales of pork, beef, and farm produce generally. The object is to have a uniform weight for both parties and prevent fraud in the manipulation of local scales. county, and is a well known and highly re spected farmer by the name of Robert Warren. Weston Leader. A Comparison. Mr. Denham and son and Mr. Wilcox, of Dakota, are in the city, looking over the country with a view to locating. While in the Oregon Land Co.'s office Mr. Denham produced some Dako ta red wheat and remarked that "when you can raise wheat like that, with your fine climate you ought to amount to some here." Some Oregon wheat was produced and the Dakota wheat became very Insig nificant. Besides being small,shriveled up, tired looking wheat, it is worth three to five cents a bushel less than our wheat. A Democrat man had a hundred kernels of each weighed. The Oregon wheat weighed just 75 grains, and the Dakota wheat 37 grains. Comment Is not necessary. The Chief Tone. The almost exclusive topic of conversation on the streets baa been the disaster to the Oregon Pacific's new steamer.

At the meeting of the city-council last evening the report of the committee on the proposed amendments to the city charter, as already stated In the Democrat, was adopted. The council arc anxious for our citizens to thoroughly understand the na ture of the proposed airendments so that there will be no dissatisfaction on their pas sage by the legislature, and in response to a request we give the amendments as re ported by the committee. If adopted they will greatly add to the value of the char ter: That section one of the charter describ and fixing the present city limits be extend east from the present eastern boundary so as to include Hackleman's third addition Our Coal ltines. Mr. William Watklns In returning to Portland a day or two ago reported to a newspaper man there that on the property In which he is interested five shafts, which are three inches in diameter, have been sunk. At one point a depth of 140 feet was attained. In the bottom of this a seam of fine lignite coal, sixteen feet wide, was found. In the middle shaft, halfway up the mountain, six and a half fW of coal was found. As depth is attained the coat is drier and of a better quality than that found nearer the surface. The intention Is to have a line built from the narrow gauge road, which is but six and a half miles from the mine.

On the other side of the mountain from where Mr. Watkin's mine is located, coal has been found and two half sections have been taken up. At a point eighteen miles further east, on the Santiam, another coal discovery has been made. In fact, the whole country in that section is a good field for the coal prospec tor.
