Runaway Girl. 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. Awhile after
wards he sold two !oU for SS50 to L. H.
Montanye, and yesterday the remaining
four lots, fronting on Ferry Street, to Mrs.
Van Horn for $2500, making $335o,a little
more than doubling his money in nineteen
months.
Spreading Oct. James Elkins prop
erty in the southern suburbs of the city has
been surveyed and will soon be placed on
the market as the Elkins addition to Albany,
Ferry street lots will be sold at $150 and
Washington street lots at $125. 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. Another dago the first of the week
saw White in Portland and had him ar
rested. Constable Burkhart armed with a
warrant Issued from Justice Humphrey's
court left this morning after White.
A Bill When "Dutch Henry" was
conveyed from tlx Caliboose to the pest
house an old wagon standing beside the
street in the Third Ward was "borrowed"
for the purpose, the ownership being an
unknown quantity at the time. It transpired
that It belonged to J. V. Pipe, the butcher.
The bill for $45 In the Council proceedings
explains the situation.
A Good Example. 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. At the
meeting of the Council last evening Har
per Cranor presented a petition asking for
the privilege of building a wooden store
building on his property at the corner of
First and Lyon street. If this Is granted
he Intend erecting a building 26x50 feet
and opening a grocery store.
Rushed. Among those who arc being
rushed in Albany this spring is Mr E L
Power, the harness maker, who, with an
assistant, Is putting in stock some of the
finest hand made harnesses In the market.
He also has on hand a fine stock of sad
dles, blanket, whl;, halters, etc. It will
pay farmers to call on him. Next door to
the Democrat office, Albany.
To-Nioiit. Joseph Heine at the Opera
House to night. This will be a musical
treat not often offered here.and our citizens

Lyonsville, Or., Feb. it, 1889.
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.
