LOCAL RECORD.
Jabbering. Nearly two hundred Celes
tials who have been working at the front
under the Meyer's contract, arrived In the
city to-day and have been making Rome
howl with their jabbering. Considerable
excitement prevailed for awhile around
Jim Westfall's establishment, caused by a
large number of angry Chinamen gather
ing there and demanding their money
from their bossyman, a Celestial, who was
also present. From the manner in which
they shook their fists around Jim Westfall's
face it was surmised that he was interest
ed ; but he Insists that it was none of his
affairs. From a few days to several months
wages were due them, and they wanted
some kind of a settlement so they could
return to San Francisco, where they re
side. If they could get passes to that
city they would be satisfied. As the con
tractor has not received his pay the pros
pects were not very good for their getting
any money. The amount of noise made
was not necessarily an indication of the
extent of the trouble.
Leadisg Countiss. Qrunt county has
the most horses and mules of any county
in Oregon, l6,S;5. It also leads in cattle,
with 47,1 1 S. Crook county is at the head in
sheep, with 221,756. Lane county is the
greatest grunter, with 7625 hogs. Of course
Multnomah county has the most property
and the biggest indebtedness. The least in-
debtedness is In Maiheur Co.,$io7,333. After,
Multnomah Uma'.illa has the most money,
notes, accounts and mortgages, $1,702,693.
Linn county has the greatest wealth In
land, $4,594,358 ; Multnomah in town lots
and Marion county next, $1,343,716.
Inciiease in Marriages There were
according to the list published in the
Democrat 132 marriages in Linn county
last year, which of course only includes
those getting licenses in this county. This
number is just twenty more than the rec
ord of 1887, which shows a healthy growth
in the right direction. An examination of
the records for a great many years shows
that there are more weddings in October
than during any other month, owing prob
ably to its being just after harvest.
More Arrests. Dr. E. O. Smith, who
is alleged to have jumped a mining claim
belonging to Messrs. Woodin, Rhodes,
Read Massey, Mart Bilyeuand others, and
whoa few days ago had Mr. Massey ar
rested for larceny of quartz from the claim
has had Mart Bilyeu and three or four
others arrested on the same charge and
the case will be tried to-morro before
Justice of the Peace Lyons, of Rock Creek
precinct
On the Face of It. According to the
last assessment the total Indebtedness in
Linn county was $1,633,025 in Marion
county, $2,533,289. The number of polls
in Linn county was 1748, in Marion county,
1402. This simply indicates that they
must have had "a stick in the mud" for an
Assessor in Marion county. Probably in
no county in Oregon was there a more
honest assessment made than in Linn Co.,
considering the present system of doing
the business.
Want It Repealed.
The following petition Is being circula
ted In Benton county by Thos. Read, a
very unique gentleman, well known In Al
bany. It was gotten up by Mr, Read, and
rather caps the climax In the mitter of pe
titions ; yet, as It were, it gets there all the
same:
Benton County, Or., Dec. i, 1888.
To the Honorable Body to Meet at Salem
to make Laws for the lolling reopie 01
Oregon, Greeting:
We, the undersicned farming Children,
ask and Demand that you repeal all Laws

taminate the Chicks of our domestic fowls.
A Stockholders' Meeting.

Albany Farmers aud Merchants Insurance
company this afternoon G . F. Simpson, Chas
Monteith, D B. Monteith, J L. Cowan, J,
W. Cusick. Chas E. Wolverton. I. O. Writs-
man and J. K. Klderkin were elected direc
tor?. A partial report showed a mattering
business for the yar.
Its Origin. Jump-off-Joe, the name of
a stream in Southern Oregon, received its
name from the trapper, McLeod, who led
the first white expedition overland to Cal
ifornia in 1832. They camped one right
on this stream, but Joe McLoughlin, who
was out huntinz.dld not come in until after
dark, and, not knowing that the camp was
on a bluff, he stepped over the edge of it
in me uaricness, ana tell quite a distance
below. He received injuries that could not
be cured, and died in a few years, but from
this circumstance the creek received its
name.
Jumped Into the Fire. A correspon
dent of the Yaqulna Republican gives the
following peculiar incident that happened
at the front on the Oregon Pacific : "Fri
day a man running from a blast, took ref
uge behind the very stump that was being
blasted out and under which there were
two boxes of Judson powder. You may
iudpe of his nstoniKhmpnt whti th hlact
went off, tore his hat into fragments and

In Hot Water. Mr. Jim Westfall call
ed at the Democrat office to day and re
quested us to state to his friends here, many
of whom he has known for sixteen years,
that he will pay them in due course of time
all that he owes them, Through several
bad contracts he has lost nearly $4,000. Of
this amount $2,500 were sunk on the Mey
ers contract, lie is in heap hot water ;
but expects to get cut all right.
The Ball. One of the most Impromptu
affairs ever gotten up in Albany was the
ball given last evening at the Opera House.
Several enterprising gentlemen did the
business, furnished the music and paid all
the expenses, everybody dancing who
wanted to. The attendance was large and
the enjoyment great.
