LOCAL RECORD.
Two Mkn. Yesterday morning two
men almost as rich as Crcwus, got off the
overland train at this city, went to the Ore
gon Pacific depot where a special train
awaited them, steamed, in company with
some O P officials, rapidly to the front; re
turned, went to Corvallls, came back and
took a optcial train for Portland, which had
been telegraphed for. They were two of
the leading directors of the Chicago &
Northwestern, and the fact means that the
O P has nil the backing it needs and that
work will begin at an caily dav and he
pushed with great rapidity during the coin
ing year.
Coming. Once more wc are favnv.l
with a visit by the renowed Rny-
Lansing Musical Comedy Co. This ccm:
pany, it will he remembered, made a do -in
ed success on the Pacific coast aluui en
year ago. They return from the east with an
enlarged company of the best talent that
could be obtained, and their program is
far superior to any that has been presented
by them during the past nine years. Their
present season cannot fail to add thousands
of friends and fresh laurels to those al
ready gained. And we advise a 1 those
wishing to enjoy an evening of refined
music and comedy to secure scats at once.
Santia.m Minks. "E L Wheeler ar
rived in the city yesterday from Rock
Creek, Linn county, ile gives very en
couraging reports of the development being
made In the silver mines in that section.
He says that the Clarrcn Rros, of the re
duction works at Portland, are pushing the
work in the Galena tunnel, having niw
reached 275 feet, and are now running three
6hifts,and that they are also at work on
the Brightenbush mine, in Marion county.
Henlso states that the Canal Foik Mining
company, of Portland, will soon resume
work In the Canal Fork mine, in the White
Bull district, In which they have already
invested about $50,000.'' Statesmen.
Two Rumors. It Is the province of a
lewsj-ijier to nublish rumors and run the
risk of their hitting the mark. Sometimes
hey strike, and sometimes they do not.
One . tha the Oregon Pacific and Chlra-
1 go&NW'have bought the Narrow Gauge
R R, and will make things hum In the
Willamette valley. The other U that the
Brownsville Woolen Mill Co have sold
their Brownsville plant, Including the ma-
chlnery at Albany, and will order entirely
. new machinery tor Albany, This stands
f a good chance of being true.
Fast Driving This forenoon a farm
er from Brownsville precinct was arrested
for fast driving. It seems that he came to
the city, took on board too much whisky,
turned considerable of his money over to
the saloon keepers and made his horse spin
around the city. He had $54 on his per
son when arrested. It Is claimed he atari
ed out with double the amount. Sober, a
good citizen and neighbor, the Democrat
refrains this time from giving his name,
hoping he won't do it again.
i Tint Chicken Business. Mr Fred
Hoffinnn and family, former neighbors of
Dr Guiss, in Kansas, have arrived in the
city and will make Linn county their home.
While here a few months ago Mr Huff
man bought twenty acres near the city, on
which he will reside and run a hencry of
good dimensions. He brought along some
fine chickens as a starter, has ordered an
Incumbator and proposes supplying the
market with large and plump fowls.
1 A Distributing Point About the
liveliest place in Albany is the S P freight
foam . The business being done is in keep
ing with the life of Albany. Since the
Irst of the month 500,000 pounds of freight
nave been transferred from the Orecon
Pacific and the river boats, and the direct
traffic was considerably more. Albany is
already quite a aistnoultng point.

fan: "Captains are thick In Astoria. You
can't throw a stone on the street without
being likely to hit a captain. Talking to a
captain yesterday, he says: 'I see there's
another wreck at Yaquina. Yaquina al
ways was the darndest place for wrecks.
Fourteen years ago I spent $160 and three
months' time, I and my partner, down
there, putting up snuer kraut. We put up
300 barrels and shipped It from Yaquina,

Great Things in Store. It seems to
be pretty cerlain.says "Note and Comment"
In the Oregonian, that the Chicago .V
Northwestern road Is furnishing money(or
its heavy men arc) to finish the Oregon
Pacific road through to Boise City to con
nect with their rond running west through
Wyoming to that place. Boise papers say
that 'he Manitoba road will build a branch
to their city. If these things prove true,
Boise Citv will be n railroad point and
middle Oregon and this valley will be In
direct communication with the great world.
The Albany journals claim the Astoria
road will branch from that place, while
Salem feels assured it will be the connect
ing link with Portland and Astoria.
OLD OKKtiON.
Medical Lake, April 10th, 1889.
Editor Democrat t
We are now seventeen miles from Spo
kane Falls and a little southwest of that
place. This Lake fur several years has been
known to possess many healing qualities,
and hence it has been a general resort for
the afflicted. The Lake Is a mile long we
should judge, and a quarter wide at the
widest part. This may be a liberal descrip
tion as water bodies are deceptive to the
eye in a cursory measurement. Around
the Lake are residences scattered, and a
good road nnd fine landscapes. On the
northwest end and near to the Lake, there
is a cold spring of fresh water, as if from
an ice house, sufficient to support tens of
housands with its refreshing draught, and
these springs abound in this vicinity. There
is no difficulty in getting good water. Wa
ter from the Lake is used for treatment
only, except in obtaining its salts by heated
evaporation which are sold everywhere;
and to make toi et soap of its salts. Both of
which are a complete success. Boats ply on
the Lake for amusements, and there arc
hath houses, with hot or cold baths here
and there on the borders of the Lake.
These baths can be had at the hotel Alsa.
The water has a soapy or alkili taste, but it
docs not take long to like the water, which
contains so many curative properties. As
a lady remarked, "anyone would like it if
fond of soapsuds." This Lake has been a
fayoritc resort f"r a long time, and a regu
lar line of stages has accommodated the
visitors, llireclly east, one and a quarter
miles is Silver Lake, four miles long and
three quarters wide, containing fish. This
is a clear and cold body of water of a great
depth a short distance from the shore. A
steamboat will soon plough its waters, and
every means will be added to benefit the
public. On the cact border of this Lake
there are farms ; and beautiful locations for
residences o" the retreating hilU. Fine
resident locations are numerous on the
west border of the Lake, as welt as south
and north. The surroundings are yery
picturesque. It was on the hill on the east
side of the Lake that General Wright had
his battle with Kamtakin, in which the In
dians suffered a loss of men, several thou
sand horses, and a complete defeat. These
Indians, Spokane, Palouse and Yakimas,
had become aggressive after the retreat of
General Steptal, but General Wright took
their conceit from them at the battle of
Medical Lake and Kamiakin came to terms,
Lake street 90 feet wide runs from Medical
Lake to Silver Lake, and as stated is one
miie and a quarter long, on which a motor
engine and cars will run. This is the busi
ness street and property Is rapidly increas
ing in value since last fall owing to two
railroads coming into Medical Lake ; the
town taking this name ; the North Pacific
runs through here to Davenport and the
Lake Shore and Eastern to within four
miles of that place. These roads tap the
Big Bend country and run daily. There
are two depots at the Lake, near Stanley
and Hallet streets which streets cross Lake
about Its center. Lake street runs east and
west, Stanley and Hailett streets north and
south. Of course here is a boom. It is
safe to say that there is not an unsold lot on
Halle street as there were but four a few
days since. Railroad companies have fixed
excursion rates, and now the town Is filling
up on Sundays, and quite so on week days.
it is estimated tnat 5000 people win sum
mer at these Lakes, double of the number
of last year. The North Pacific will plat
their land lying around Silver Lake into
town lots and throw them open for sale
and da all it can to build up the town.
There were three hundred people residing
hcie this spring early, but it is estimated
that there will be 2000 in si. months. One
hundred houses are promised and more if
material can be had. On the summit of
the hill that raises on the west of Medical
Lake and a short distance from it, the In
sane Asylum Is being built. It Is 416 feet
long with ail modern conveniences. The
foundation and hall twelve feet high are
built of beautiful granite blasted out on the
asylum ground. And the clay of which
the brick are being made Is also taken from
these grounds all are taken out not two
hundred feet from the foundation of the
building. The site is lovely. From it look-
easi ,t.ie t wo L.ai e are con r ected t rg.'th.
er with a fine range of country extending
to Cpokpne Falls and beyond taking in the
Mica mountain, and snowy peaks as tar as
the eye can reach. On the west and north
lay the level plains that lead to and include
the Big Bend region. Here is land and
nothing to obstruct the ylsion from it but
the distant horizon and the tops of scatter
ing distant timber belts. There is no town
in this countrv having more, if as much
surrounding arm land and stock range as
Medical Lake. It is a pleasure to visit this
grand picture of nature itself. Every pains
will be taken to make Medical Lake the
grand resort of the entire country. A
sprightly newspaper, the Ledger, Is pub
lished here. It has a good future before
it. Hotel accommodations are excellent ;
and there are good livery sinblesto meet
the wants of visitors, Railroad officers arc
taking a lively interest in opening up this
section, and though these railroads have
been built this winter, the country already
shows their benefit In imparting life to the
business and commerce of the country. At
no period of our history has there been as
much attention paid to real estate invest-
inrms anu interest ihkcii 111 ucvi-Kipiug uic
ivhnli rnuntrv. Pomil.ition Is ranldlv In
creasing, and "while we find Western Ore
gonians and Washingtonians here and
there the new comers from the East are so
numerous that the old hisloiic settler men
tionedis the stranger after all. The climate
seems to satisfv everyone residing here.
This town promises to become a city of
several thousand. Asa place of residence
for business men of Spokane Falls it has its
preference.
