One of the men in the R. R- accident near the California line a few days ago was lion. J. P. Wager of the Pendleton ?, O. He had taken a ciyar In the smoker and then proceeds with the matter in the following graphic manner : "After the cigar.there was a period of doz ing, from which, there was a Midden and none too gentle an awakening. When the occupants of the "smoker" recovered from the first momentary stupefaction of their surprise they found themselves sprawled out or doubled up In the top of the car,amid a chaos of scats, valises, lamp, expectora tion, et cetera. The car, on account of a -widened track or a broken rail, had jumped off upon the ties, bumped along on them for a distance at a speed of twenty-live miles an hour then dissolved its connec- lon with its companions and rolled over down an embankment. The first thought of all, I presume, was of fire and a trage civ j but, as all Individually felt themselves over and found themselves really alive and nun iiu uuues uiu&cu unu in iiicu uitiK ness, the situation, in spite of bruises and scratches, began to assume faint outlines of a comedy. The train stopped, backed up, the window ot our dungeon was broken open, the various "traps" rescued, and all were able to eat breakfast at Keudin? after all." Special Meeting. A special meeting of the city council was held last evening to consider the matter of the Washington treet grade. I Ion. J . K. Wealherford and Cap. N. B. Humphrey were retained to conduct the tnjurction suit for this city, and Councilmen Oradwohl, French and Burkhart were appointed a committee to attend io the interests of the city in the matter. The case will no doubt settle the question as to whether the city has author ity to grade its streets or not. 1 he case will be heard before Judge Boie within a week or two, on motion of the city to dissolve the injunction, and the Attorneys tor the city are conlidcnt the injunction will be dissolved. Railroad Contract. E. J. O'Conner, Hour efficient County Surveyor and V. B. Barr have taken a contract in the Fair- jhaven and Southern, a railroad now being .built by Nelson Bennett from BelHngham IjBay in V. T. to coal mines on the Skagit lver a distance of thiry miles. These gen emcn have c contract to build a portion of his road and left to-day to enter upon h)pU.j..l. M. P,l TT !..- pany them to engage in the work. These gentlemen do good work as Mr Bennett al- !eady knows. Mr O'Conner has just re urned from an extended trip up the Wash ngton Territory coast Including Tacoma, Seattle, Olympia, Whatcom and many Other points, and says he finds no place that offers such fine inducements for In vestments as Albany.

Walla Walla, March 18th, 1889. Kditorg Democrat : It ma not be out of the way to give you a short chapter on Oregon, Washington and Idaho ; the old territory of Oregon. W t need not go back over twelve years to find fiat this section of our Pacific slope, confin ing our reference to Eastern Oregon, Wash ington aud Western Idaho, was in an unde veloped State, No railroads, uothing to give the promise of future greatness that now dawos upoi this extensive body of laDda, Wheu the road bed waa run out from Uma tilla landing, a proposed exteusion of travel from tuuboatsou the Columbia river ; it was hailed as tho coming bootn of that section of Oregon- The North Pacific was then in its throes for life ; and the projects of the 0. R. N. were flickering between doubts aud promises. Pendloton had a population of two hundred. Umatilla county had given prom i of great productiveness in cereals from experiments mule. The Government had given the Indians over two hundred thou sind scras of land, the best there was of the area adjoining the I'eudlotou location. Stages wore on tho roads and the teamtter was the civilizer. Now at this day a clianue has over- come tho country. That railroad from Uma. tills is built, and runs via Pendleton to Mos oow, Idaho and to Hockford in Washington, twenty miles from Spokane Falls. A branch a few miles east of Harington at Tekoa, will run to Coour d'Alcne mines. Pendleton has two railroads, the short line and the road mentioned. It is a growing center with 4000 inhabitants at the present time. Much of the immigration does not oenter here, but it pass es ou most generally to Eastern Washington. At I'endleton and surrouudiugs there is every inducement offered to settlers and new com ers. Already the citizens are negotiating to have tho Hunt railroad to the Sound coun try come in there. "There is always trouble ou the Reservation," is an old story in Ore gon. And at this outing it is so on the Uma tilla, but when it is sifted out the charges against the Superintendent will not amount to much. Most of the trouble grows out of the leasiog of lands by the Indians, which may be tho best thing to do. Here are a great number of persons- who have leased mese lanasot Indians, to the displeasure ot the new agent,who has secured the assistance of U. S. troops toromoye the intruders. It would be a blessing if these reservation lands could be thrown open to settlement. There are not to exceed a thousand Indians,and not ten per cent ot them will follow the persait of agriculture. Until the Indian right is extin guished settlement will not increase on these lauds. The present condition of things is a drawback to the development of Umatilla coenty. The Government is responsible lor this hindrance to the progress of this conn try. Nutwithsanding thia obstacle Pendleton is growing. A new Court House and a new hotel, mark the progress of those laboring to reoiove this reservation weight from their necks. Two hours ride takes us to Walla Walla in Washington. A more lovely coun try along the road cannot be found. Walla Walla has a pleasing history, it being near the old mission, and the commercial center in the da) a of the biines and pace train. It is a noat city and should be the Capitol of Wash ington. Here Mr. G. W, Hunt, the contrac tor will reside, having paid $10,000 for his residence. His headquarters are here for the Hunt trains and railroad that will run te Soattle by the 1st of April. This is the route Pendleton aims to bring to its city. Ten years ago Mr. Hunt kept a ferry on Snake Kivor, was accommodating and industrious. When the Northern Pacific R. R. oame into the country he with his mule team entered the sorvice as railroad worker. Being a brainy man ho soon learned the busiuess of contracting by aub-contraoting and then con tracting direct. His success is well-known. He is now very lich and a railroad magnate of no moan parts, backed hy the Northern Pacific he has engineered a new system that is now in operation. As the Dolphiu goes before the shark, the echo of Mr. Hunt's suc cess is "N. P." He will build np Walla Walla and add to the material wealth of that section of Washington and Oregon. Grati fication at his great success is general. He has earned it. The North Pacific is building a large wheat eloyatorat Walla Walla, which like Pendleton will havs a steady growth in wheat export. The stock through this part of the country did not winter well, but as the woither has beeu mild and tho grass is coming on there will bu no loss. A boom is looked for and it will como. More anon. Itinerant. A Headdress. Mr. Dave Burkhart has shown the Democrat one of the finest Indian headdresses It has ever had placed before its optic nerves. It consistsof bear's claws, beads, etc., and Is worth about $25. It was brought from Arizona by Henry Klrchoff, who is working for Mr. Burk hart, and Is a curiosity In the line of In dian relics. Another Attorney. It has been sev eral years since Albany had a new law yer. Mr. Geo. W. Wright, ot Hepner, though, has concluded to fill the position. Having bought considerable property in and around the city, he will locate here and bring his tamiiy to tne city in a lew days. He is a live, energetic gentleman, who seems to have considerable rustle to hltr. Paid in Full. County Treasurer Far well sent a draft to-day for $6719.83, to apply on state taxes. This settles Linn county's taxes for this year. She Is, next to Multnomah, the largest taxpayer in the state. Snao Boats. The government snag boats, the Willamette and Corvallls went up the river this morning, the latter going under the bridge without the draw beln;r turned. They are putting the river In good condition for navigation. If yon have any job wirk to ii call on G. W. Bmith who is prei i.i to do it with neatness and dispatih nd as cheap as sny- one , HOME AND ABROAD New style jewelry at French's. Mrs Rev Ihompson, of Corvallis, is in the city. A second'hand organ for sale cheap at Mrs Hymaus. Buy your watches at French's. Big bar gains. Go to R M Robertson for oats, olieat hay and timothy. Wheat has dropped to 65 cents, and the market is exceedingly dull. Rev A M Acheson, of Oakyille, is in Col fax assisting Rev Allter. The south jotty at the Bay was cousider sbly damaged by the storms cf lsst week. A republican paper says the president's cabinet is pretty near solidly Presbyterian. Have you paid your county taxes. The first of April is almost here if you have not. Mrs Cleveland, it is reported, will write a magazine article. We predict it will bo full of sense. The arrivals at the Portland hotel amount to shout five hundred a day and fill a column in the Orrgrmian, Miss Mary Mouteith and nicoe, of Cor vallis, are in the city, the guests of Mis. Walter Mouteith. Is your name on the woolen mill subscrip tion. Then put it there, It means a great deal for Albany. Rev E R Prichard, of this city, and Rsv Dr Thomson, of Corvallis, will exchange pulpits next Sabbath. Misses Annie aud Kato Rilaud have gone to Mt Angelv, to be present when their sis tor, Anuie takes the white voil. Wanamaker is said to be in favor of a one cent postage for letters. So are we. The combination ought to settle the business. The "Baby Home'' is a new institution being started at East Portland. Its proper use nill deeido on how good a thing it is. G. W. Wright, the Heppoer lawyer, has purchased of H Flindt, the house and one lot adjoining Mr. Fundt's residence. Con sideration, $900. Eugene City has a Board of Trade just lice Albany's, a twin sister. Really it takes a large place like Portland to handle a Board of Trade properly. Dr Starr, C H Cuble and Geo D Overton, of Brownsville, have been in the eity to-day. Mr Overton offers to move his farm here if a sufficient subsidy is raised. There will be a debate at the college to night by members of the class on political economy on protection cr free trade. The public is inuite to be present. There will be preaching at the Oakville United Presbyterian chnrch next Sabbath, the 2-kh inst., at 12 M., by Rev. A M Black, D D, of Monmouth, 111. A cordial invita tion is extended to all. M Heisler, of Dufur, Wasco county, is in the city on business, and will return in a few days. Mrs Heisler was" a daughter of Mr White, who resided near this city for many years. Mr Chas McCIure, of LaGrande, a former neighbor ot Messrs Crossen and Allen, is in the city. We understand Mr McCIure waa at one time a member of Buffalo Bill's wild west tronp, and is one of the best riders in Eastern Oregon. A conespondent from Irving to a Eugene paper writes : "This plat is getting be quite a strong-hold for tramps, the people feed them well and seyeral have camped in and look as if they mecnl to stay." This giyes the keynote to the whole business. Don t feed them and there will be no further trou ble. Darrah. a Portland man, who went to the penitentiary says : "You may think I am a fool for givmg the snap away to the Judge, but I wanted to eo to the pen : I like it. I was there for a year and I found the fare so hne that 1 think it is better than knocking about on tho cold charity of the world. When my year ia out I'll tumble in again." Greenwood's Fine Art Studio. To the public : When I bought L. W. Clark's photographic business, I did not buy in one day to sell out the next, but I am here to stay. I also bought his negatives which I have carefully registered so that duplicates can be had at reduced rates.
