LOCAL RECORD.
Last Day of 1888 To-day close. :8S8.
ft has been 9 good business year in Albany.
The city has forged ahead slowly. There
;jhas been no boom in building ; yet there
Vhas been progress. Numerous residences
have been erected, mostly small ones. Six
brick stores have been built, and every
thing is occupied, an Indication that we
are holding our own and more than that.
A healthy growth is what we want and are
getting. A little more push and bustle
would materially benefit matters during
1S89. We should do much more than dur
ing the past year. Not until foreign capi
tal comes in and materializes in brick
blocks will we experience a booming
growth. We must encourage this, for,
undoubtedly we are on the inside track,
and possess an advantage in the Oregon
Pacific, which if we watch our chances
must develop the city Into the leadin" one
in the valley.
Held Him. Hon. W. R. Bilyeu and Mr
A. B. Woodin returned yesterday evening
from LyonsviMc where they had been to
look after the Interests of Mr Woodin and
others in aSan'.iam minins claim iumnM
by Dr E O Smith, of Salem. Saturday Mr
iviassey wno had been sent by the Albany
company to do work on the mine, was tried
before Justice Lyons, at Lvonsvllle on th
charge preferred by Dr Smith of stealine
quartz. Although the Justice admitted
that he was probably not guilty of theft he
was held under rnn hnnHo rnau..!, .u-

Gbnuink Elopement Quite a con
sternation was created last Tuesday, ay
the Union Republican, by the circulation of
the news of the elopment of Miss Nellie
Miles, of Big Creek, and Mr. William
Davis, of Wallowa county. The plans of
the proceedings were evidently well laid.
Miss Miles came down from her home in
company with Mr. John McLeod, of Sang
er, to attend the ball, while Mr. Davis also
made it a point to be here. The parties
went to Telocaset and from there took the
train to Wiser City, Idaho, where they
were united In the ho'.y bonds of matri
mony the same evening. This episode
places Mr. McLeod in a very embarrassing
situation, as he was entirely ignorant of
the negotiations pending between the elop
ing parlies and was somewhat infatuated
with the charms of the young lady him
self. '
A Serious Wound. C. Rogers, who
11 yes near Mehama, met with a severe ac
cident that came very near costing him his
life a day or two ago says the Statesman.
He was felling timber on his place, when a
rotten limb dropped from the tree upon
which he was chopping, striking him on
the head, cutting a deep gash and severing
an artery. He bled profusely and fainted
before he could be carried home hv nirh
bors who were working with him when the
accident happened. The flow of blood was
stopped by the application of home rem
edies and he is now doing nicely, although
his head is still very sore from the terrible
wound.
Four Out of Thirty-Nine. A year
ago we commended thirty-nine young men
here to the tender mercies of leap year
privileges. Of the number only four have
been captured, to-wit : Fred Burkhart,
Geo Henderson, H Hays and John Robson.
Several others of the number we are re
liably informed have been spoken for, and
it is not our fault if there are any mistakes
In the following, our authority being Dame
Rumor : O A Archibald, Geo Cald ell,
Harry Day, Lake Dorris, George Fish,
Merrill Phlllipsjames Powell.Oley Wood
worth and A W Thompson, with several
others among the probabilities.
Ticketed for Ashland. This morn
ing a strange young man was picked lip
on Washington street, where he had fallen
and medical assistance sent for. It was as
certained that his name was C. A. Sum
mers, and that he bad a severe case of hem-
orrhage of the lungs. In his pocket he
had a ticket from Nova Scotia to Ashland
and that was all he did have, being penni
less. He had left his satchel somewhere
for lodging, and was altogether a pltlaole
case. He fell again about noon this side of
the depot, and took the noon train south.

One of the funniest of occupations (to an
Oregonian) is that of herding geese in the
Saoramento valley, California. The wheat
growers of that region are tormented by
flocks of destructive geese that pull up the
sprouting grain and do expensive damage.
The farmers employ men who are paid one
dollar a day "and grub." Mounted 00
horses they ride around the wheat fields and
shoot geese from before sun up to dark.
