Your'e Another The Albany Demo
crat says that Moody will not visit either
Salem r Astoria, as he has to be in San
Franciso an January 6th. The Democrat
does not say who issued the mandate that
the great Evangelist should arrive In San
Francisco on the day mentioned, and it
looks very much like the wish was father
to the thought in this Instance. The Demo
crat man is Insanely envious of Salem's
prosperity and he cannot bear the thonght
of even a religious boom being started here.
All right, Mr. Democrat, Moody has
promised to come to Salem and his word is
to betaken In preference to that of an un-
regencrate Democrat evcrv time. If vou
will come here to the meetings Mr Moody
will tell you how to get cured of that hor
rible habit of lying you have fallen into.

Down Hill, The Pendleton E. O.

namely: This town is relatively going

cannot be a Tacoma and Seattle at big

HOME AND ABIIOAI)
They Resolve. The Marion county
grangers have just resolved In the follow
ng emphatic manner: Whereas, There
exists in Oregon a combination composed
of the millers of Oregon, through whose
control flour has been advanced In price
not less than one dollar per barrel more
than is reasonable. Therefore, Resolved
That the attention of the next legislature
be cirected to the matter of extending the
law regulating tolls to exchange wheat for
flour. Resolved, That the fare on railroads
of this state should be reduced to three
cents per mile. Weconcurwith Linn coun
ty in the adoption of resolution In regard
to agricultural colleges. K -solved. That
we arc opposed to the legislature making
any appropriation to perfect the title of the
Agricultural college farm at Corvalhs.
Resolved, That the state of Oreeon own
and print its own school books, and that the
law authorizing the change of all kinds of
books by the several county superintend
ents ne repealed.
j scheme ine standard un Co, is a
gigantio monopoly and business enterprise
that is continually looking out for new
territory. Its latest move is to purchase
property In Salem, Albany, Eugene, Rose-
burg and Medford and build small ware
houses for the storage of oil. An agent of
the company, which by the way is incor
porated under the laws of Iowa, was in
Eugene the first of the week and purchased
the triangular piece of ground on the north
side of the railroad crossing at High street
from Mrs. Macey for $22?. The switch to
the Farmers' warehouse will be utilized for
shipping purposes. A warehouse 20x30,
sheathed with sheet Iron, will be built on
the premises. The buildlne of this ware
house will obviate the neccessity of our
merchants carrylne laree stocks of oil.
On badge . Guard. The gentleman has not vet made
kju welcome . arrangements in AlDanv: but no doubt will
De at the cruet railroad center in time.
Wheat The wheat market is demor
alized just at the present time ; but it is
generally dull during the holidays. V.'e
have been quoting for several day s at 72
cents, which has been the market price
here. To-day we have to drop to 70 cents,
which Is the prlceoffered at the warehouse
and mills. There Is no business though.
Several Albany buyers who paid 75 to 78
cents are somewhat confused as most of
the wheat is en their hands, one buyer, we
are informed having about 50,000 bushels
undisposed of. It Is not anticipated that the
price will remain down, and a rise li looked
for after the holidays.
Saw the Flag. Mr. Hayes, of Corval
lis, the gentleman who discovered gold at
Gold Hill, in Southern Oregon, was in the
city a day or two ago on his way to the
scenes of his mining experiences. While
here he discovered the signal service flag,
and not being used to such modern im
provements in Corvallis, stopped in con -sternation
and cried, "Another case of
mallpux."
A Bao Bank. Mrs. Wells, of Ashland,
distrusting banks, kept her wealth In bags
of bed-ticking until a few days ago, when
an employee an her farm found a bag con
taining $3 and started south with it. He
was followed and brought back ut her ex
pense, but escaped again, though Mis Wells
secured the money and deposited It in a
National bank.
Bihle Society The annual meeting
of the Linn County Bible Society will he
held this evening at Dr. G. W. Gray's office,
to which all members are requested to be
present. To-morrow evening union servi
ces in the interest of the Bible Society will
be held at the M. E. and Presbyterian
churches. Rev. P. C. Hetzler is in the city
and will address both meetings.

thair IMMENSE
Call early before
Big Failure. Jacobs & Neugass. ef
Corvallis, have failed, with very heavy lia
bilities. They will make a general assign
ment, but as the same has not yet been
completed neither their assets nor liabili
ties are known. They had a contract with
J. R. Meyers for fifteen miles of railroad.
and It is asserted they hare lost heavily on
It ; but there are probably other causes. On
account of their general business relations
with uenton county people the failure has
had a depressing effect there.
Oneco. Mr. B. Knight, owner of the
fine trotting stallion, Oneco, has just re
turned from Oakland, Caliornia. While
there Oneco made a record of 2:2y, the
best record ever made by a Linn county
horse. Lovers of rood horses will be crlad
to learn that Oneco will be kept in this
county and wll make the season here next
year.

bany ,and as nearly as the Man Abaut Tow 11
can learn after walking from one end of
f irst street to another, this is the only city
that will really get Mr Moody for even a
day. We don't brag about it ; but It is a
mattertheieisagrain of satisfaction In,
for there is only one Moody in this big
world of ours, and he is a very plain, short'
squatty fellow with a large neck and care-
.. o-prance ; out he has a big heart, a
comprehensi ve mind and hits the nail on
the head right along.

There is, after all, some difference be
tween the holiday season with snow and
drifts and piercing winds as an elemenUhe
program in the East, and the holiday sea
son of Oregon with mud and a mild atmos
phere in the lead. Santa Claus simply puts
on his big boots, takes off his fuis, using a
gossamer, gets a boat wagon and sails
ahead, and we enjoy him just as much and
have just as big a tumble with the kind
hearted old fellow who loves Webfoot
children and knickerbockers just the same,
and we do believe he carries a bigger pack
here and that it takes more gunnisacks for
stockings.

article of teas go to the Willamette Packing
Co's. store, their German mixed tea is just
