Entered at the Post OlUce at Albany, Or ax seooml-claHS (nail matter. LOCAL RECORD. That Jeffersom Robhery. The fol lewlng from the Salem Journal is a full ac count e the Jefferson attempt at robbery mentioned by the Democrat : "LonTan iler was counting his money preparatory to doting the store, when a stranger came In ami called for a plug of tobacco. Tanz ler closed the money drawer as the man came in and as he turned around to get the tobacco the stranger brought forth a six shooter and when Lqn turned around again the weapon was pointed at him and he was requested to turn over his money At this Tanzlcr dropped to the floor be hind the counter and made a run on his hands and knees along behind the counter for the door. This he gained before the would-be robber could tell what was com ing. Tanzler ran to his heme and get his gun and alarmed the neighbors who jeined in hot pursuit, but the stranger had escap ed. He was a rough looking man and look ed as though he had not washed his face lor many days." A Slight Blunder. When we referred yesterday to a Mr. C. L. Shaw, of Albany, starting a fruit and vegetable cannery at Walla Walla we were under the Impress ion that the Pendleton paper which we quoted had gotten matters mixed with some other city : hence we said "Oh, Shaw. New, as a matter of fact Mr. Shaw resides here and is a very reliable gentleman, whom Walla Walla would be fortunate In securing as a citizen. Albany has so many citizens now that it Is a difficult thing to keep track of those who do live here, and it is probably safe not to presume too much in such matters. Valla Walla.br the way. for so many years asleep, is now said to be aispiaying consiaerame enterprise, ana its prospects art better than any time in its previous history. CUItltENCY. The fire limits of Albany should be en larged rather than curtailed. A line around them on a plat of Albany makes a very insignificant showing. Washington street should be either placed on grade or left untouched. There would be no advantage either way in any half way business. The boom editions of the Southern Cali- ornia county papers, now contain some xty to eighty columns of delinquents for county taxes. Oregon doesn't want any booms of this nature. $20 is altogether too small a price to harge for getting a bill through the Leg Islature, not enough to pay to get the mat ter whitewashed, ft is strange that there as not been more kicking by other Sena tors on account of the great reduction in the regular price. For the benefit f some it may be re marked that it doesn't cast anything to at tend the meetings of the Common Council in Albany. More of our citizens should attend. Go to-night. Others Like Him. We publish the following little item from the King Valley correspondence o the Benton Leader just to give a sample of some of the people we meet In this wcrld, a class that are too sleepy for modern things. We have a very few in the valley like the fellow mentioned: " A young man in the employ of Frantz Bros was sometime since retained to feed the porkers. After he had been feeding a couple of weeks he found the swill running out ot the pen. upon investigation it was found that the hog had been dead more than a fortnight and in a state of decompo sition, which was a surprise to the attend ant." Another Bio Suit. J. R. Myers & Co the railroad contractors whose failure caut ed so much excitement at Corvallis and ether places, have brought suit against the Oregon Pacific Railroad Co.Inthe Circuit, Court of Benton county ,for nearly $100,000 The complaint has just been filed in the Clerk s olhce at corvallis ana sets lortn divers reasons why big damages should be granted them, the case will be watcnea with interest. An Important Fact. Sunflowers are used in Wyoming Territory for fuel. The stalks, when dry, are as hard as maple wood, and make a hot fire, and the seed heads with the seeds In are said to burn better than the best hard coal. An acre of sunflowers will furnish fuel for one stove for a year. No less important is the fact that Conn Bros., of this city, keep a re markably fine stock of groceries which they sell at bottom prices, Quarterly Tea. The ladies of Home Missionary Society of the M. Church will give one of their deservedly popular quarterly teas at the Parsonage.on Friday evening. Mush and milk with other delicacies will be served, commencing at cm n. in. Price, 1? cents. A social hour with music is promised. All are invited. Why. "We get the Albany daily papers with less regularity that we do those New York City. Why Is this?" Salem Journal. We get the Salem papers with less regularity than we do those of New York City. "Why Is It? The Democrat is placed In the office at the same hour every day. So it lies wun me department, else we lie. HOME AND ABROAD TUB TOBACCO BILL. By request of many dealers In Albany we give below the tobacco and cigarette bill passed by the last Legislature : An act to prohibit the sale of tobacco, cigars or cigarettes to minors under the age of eighteen years. Be it enacted by the Legislative Assem bly of the State of Oregon : Sec. 1. It shall be unlawful to sell, bar ter, trade, give, or in any manner furnish to any minor under the age of eighteen years any tobacco, cigar or cigarette in any torm, or any compound In wmcn tobacco torms a component part, without the wrtt ten consent or order of such minors par ents or guardians, and when such minor has no parents are guardian, then in that case consent may be given by the County Court, setting for the transaction of coun ty business, upon proper application in the county in which said minor may have his residence. Sec. 2. Any person violating the pro visions oi tills act shall, upon conviction.be fined in the sum net less than twenty dol lars nor more than htty dollars. Sec. 3. Tustlces of the Peace shall have u'isdlction far all offenses arising under this act Inasmuch as there is no law on this sub ject, this act shall be in force from and af ter its approval by tne governor. 8CI0.
