Sunday morning a bright looking girl, aged about thirteen ar rived in the city from the South and put at the Revere House, leaving the next day. Thlt morning Mrj. Smith, of Wolf Creelc, In the southern part of the State, arrived in the city after a runaway aJopted daughter, whom she found at Ruf us Thompson's one of our citizen", where the was working. It was the girl who stopped at the Revere House on Sunday. Mr. Smith runs a hotel and store combined, and the girl getting tired of the bmlneni packed up and came north to Albany, to which place her moth er traced her, taking her home on the noon train. Tub Same Horse. -Awhile ago John Shea, of Sweet Home, took up a horse and advertised It as a dark bay horse, branded on right hip. Just before, John Schmeer, of this city, lost a horse. He saw Shea's notice and said that wasn't the critter, and advertised as lost his sorrel horse, branded on left hip. The result was that the two Johns got together, when it was ascertained that it was all one hurse, notwithstanding the great diversity In the descriptions. Moral: Advertise In the "Democrat. Increase in Price. In July, 1887. Mr. J. II. Mullan purchased of Mr. John Geis endorfer six lots in block 68, being the va cant property directly opposite the College, paying $1650 for the same.

The Gol tra property will also soon be surveyed and placed on the market at about the same figures. There will be plenty of oppor tunity for speculators, as well as people wanting good homes to Invest money in real estate. A Statement. I deem It due to myself to make the following statement : I was employed by the city to take charge of the quarantined small pox patients at Mrs. East's and put in my bill for $8 per day, but the council last night cut It down to $5 per day. I have to say that I won't receive the pay at all. I insist that it is an outrage to cut my bill down in this war. E. B. Davidson. He Was a Thief. A few weeks ago a dago gaye a check to one Louis White, a Frenchman, to get cashed for him. Mr. Earl Race bought the check, paying $51.60 for It. White took the money and skipped out.

Wallace, Thomp son & Co., the enterprising grocers, have erected a fine canvas awning In front of their store, an example that should be fol lowed generally. All of the disgraceful looking wooden eyesores should be torn down and such awnings as theirs put up. This firm has also several new fixtures to the interior of their store. Another Grocery Proposed.

Thinking an occasional line from this place would be of interest to your readers, we shall endeavor to represent this place and vicinity through your columns as oc casion may require. As our village is new, being an out growth of the railroad, it might be well to state that this piece is located 28 miles east of Albany on the extension of the Oregon Pacific, and while we do not as yet assume the importance of a city, we look forward to the time when we shall possess all the modern requirements of a suburban town. At present we have one store, kept by "Yer honor," Judge Lyons, while Mr EM Wharton, of Columbia City, has just com pleted a large building from which he will soon display a stock of general merchan dise. Mr Wm Sherman, of Mehama, has pur chased property here and in the near fu ture will commence the erection of a large store building, rivaling In importance the other two. Wm Wacker, late of Michigan, has near ing completion, a large hotel, that, when .inished, wou'd do credit to a larger town, while Mr F L Laugharne, of London, England, a practical watch maker and jew eler, proposes to make this his future home, another valuable acquisition to our town, A good depot is "a Ion,; felt want" at this place, it being the diverging point for Mehama and the valleys of Fox and Jor dan, all of which will contribute materally to the business of the place, but from a re liable source we learn that a depot will be built In the early spring, as will also a large water tank. Another proposed enterprise is the build ing of a telegraph line from the town of Mehama to this place, thus connecting that place with the outside world. Much interest is manifest In the resump tion of railroad work the coming spring, and all are jubilant over the prospects of an early eastern terminus. The comple tion of the O P will undoubtedly open up many avenues for business in this section which has hitherto layed dormant. Tangent.
