LOCAL RECORD.
Funny Incident. A very funny Inci
dent happened in a deeping car on the Al
bany and Astoria or some other railroad.
It was In the morning, when the passengers
had gut out of their berths were drawn
tightly in front of still sleeping persons.
Suddenly a foot was thrust out between
two curtains. It was small, white, sy met
rical not more than a feminine No. 3
aud the merest bit of ankle In sight looked
soft and fine. The men glanced at it from
the corners of their wicked eyes. The wo
men deprecated the exposure. Then a
bald, brazen fellow went straight to the
pretty foot, grabbed the ankle, and flung
the whole member rudely In the berth.
"He wouldn't treat his bride so," said a
woman close by. "It must be his sister."
Then the head of a ten-year-old urchin
emerged where the foot had been, and a
sleepy, angry, boyish voice said : "Look
here, Sam, let me alone. Next time you
catch a-hold of my foot that way I'll kick
the gizzard outofyou," There was a sub
sidence of sentimental Interest and a risi
bility of mirth.
Via Albany One of the projects of
the Union Pacific is to build a railroad
from Ogden up into Oregon. Take a map,
put your finger on Ogden and run a line
up Into this state. You can't help making
it go through the McKenzie pass, and
thence to Coburg. Here the company
will buy the Narrow Gauge bed and run
directly into Albany, when It will gobble
up the Albany and Astoria railroad at a
round sum and end at Astoria, where the
ships of the world can find a harbor. This
looks fine on paper; but It Is difficult to
figure out anything else. Thus another
transcontinental line is to be built. The
Democrat is entitled to the secretary of
the board of trade for this electric idea, a
remarkably good one, and one we predict
candidly will some day be carried out.
This city Is destined to be the great railroad
center of the Northwest. It Is already In
n iau ill mill rcepCCt.
For two days an advertisement has ap
peared In the Democrat, signed by W. 0
asking for correspondents with a view to
matrimony. As this paper is a general
advertising medium It allows people to ad.
vertise for almost anything. The Man
About Town learns now that the advertti
er has been on a protracted drunk for
week, though he seemed sober when h
handed in the ad., and that he Is N. G
anyway, and advises people if they have
begun correspondence with him to drop
their pen. Men who get on .protracted
urmiKs are noi tne ones to nave matrlmon
ai yiews In connection with.
II II
Albany is talking street cars. Right here
tne M. A. 1. would like to advise our cirl
zens not to do anything in the matter un
less they are willing for the small boy to
steal riues on tne rear platform. He will
do it anyway. Borr. in him, and can't be
gotten out. Salem Is already kicking on
the subject. Don't throw vour leva ant t
joint neighbors. No power has ever been
oiscoverea yet anywhere to keep the small
uu uvuuiii street cars.
In some respects this is the serious time
of the year. It Is the season of revivals,
the time to think of abetter life, and no
one lives so well that he cannot live better,
II II
No enterprise that has been talked of in
Albany, seemed to be better received than
the effort to establish a Loan and Building
Association. As a lever for liftinir build
ng interests it takes the lead . As an In
vestment there i nothing much surer. Re
memoer the meeting at the store of Stew
art & Sox's Tuesday evening.
After Several Months. Our read
cr win rcmemDer tne trouble at Millers
Station several months ago between the
Co'.e brothers and seyeial young men
there. The matter was disposed of so fur
as all were concerned but Clint Cole, who
was not to be found. Last night Constable
Burkhart went to Millers and arrested Cole
wnne at a dance at his brother's home,
ihe charge was assault with a dangerous
weapon on Frank Malnev. Cole waa lnkfn
before Justice Humphrey and gave bonds

Quite True. Peter the ooet savs
Oregon's day of buying eastern produce
seems to be a long one. Why shjulU
farmers In the richest valleys in the uni
verse feel compelled to knock at the doors
of poorer valleys far away for pork, lard,
Deans and other groceries? We lay in
Chicago pork and Boston beans. And
that nothing may be wanting to complete
the feast, we must have Iowa vinegar and
Nebraska pickles!" Likewise the follow
ing, about government land generally in
Oregon: "Butte creek, to the south and
east of Keno, in Siskiyou county, is fast
settling up at' different points. Whoever
wishes to catch a government claim there
would better rustle. In a short time the
catches will be about petered out. The
home seekei will catch nothing but ducks,
a Daa cola, or summer trickles. He will
lind the U. S. lots all taken, the creeks
fenced In and Pilgrims' dogs barking
iiuuugii tuc rails at mm. uurry up.
Blown from a Cannon. The London
Times is of the opinion that a man blown
from a canncn's mouth suffers less than
one who Is hung. With all due deference
to the authority of the Thunderer upon
such a subject we'd prefer the opinion of
one who had tried both, modes. At the
same time it is a fact that men who buy
their groceries and crockery ware of Conn
Bros, never suffer any from being blown
up or out by their wivxs. Their goods are
nrsi-ciass ana always give satisfaction.
An E. O. Town A Union paper says
the following of a rival city: "La Grande
is known everywhere to be the 'poorest
town in Eastern Oregon according to pop
ulation,' and an examination of the tax rolls
will prove this to be a fact. A prominent
man, of Island City, speaking of this mat
ter, a few davt ago, said that he had money
to wager that one firm in Island City paid
more taxes and received morefrieght oyer
the railroad than all the men tn La Grande
combined.
The Bar. The bar at Yaquln Bay is
one of the best and least dangerous on the
Pacific coast. There Is an average of fif
teen feet of water at low tide, giving fiom
t to 34 feet at high water. Over the bar
the channel is straight, free of rocks and
'he bar Itself Is only about 500 feet across.
Inside of the harbor, which is perfectly
land-locked, with high bluffs on both sides,
there is fine anchorage for a thousand ves
els or more. Republican.

Must Meet Them. Mr. B. F. Ashby,
of the Oregon Land Company returned
from Portland to-day, where he has been
about a week. He Induced thirty-two im
migrants to come and see Albany and the
surrounding country. Mr. Asbhy informs
us that the hotels there are full of Seattle
and Tacoma real estate men, who use
every means to induce Immigrants to go
to those cities. They lie like troopers about
the Valley, declaring that it is under water.

A Fine Horse. Mr. C E Barrows, of
Shedd, informs the Democrat that he will
have his fine stallion Multnomah in Al
bany two days each week next spring. This
horse is a full brother of Oneco, aiao,
and Pricement, 3 year old record, 2:35, and
is a very fine animal, which stockmen
should become acquainted with.
