The Major has made only "friends in Albany. His life here has been a spotless one, and w hile we shall regret seeing him leave Albany, we shall rejoice to know that he will have a good home where he can rehearse with his companions in bine thecvenlsof event ful lives. A ConuniirL'M. The following conun drum from an Oregon City paper will nli'i-e a few I. inn counly farmres and 1 hence we eive it : "Mr. Winston of Dam ascus propounds a peculiar problem. 'Dur ing the 18 years I haveltvedon my place,' he says, 'the county assessors and school clerks have assessed it all the way from S1S00 to SCjooo, I offer to sell my farm but cannot set even a bid on it. What is it cash value ?' This may be answered left h.mdedlv by asking Mr Winstan to explain this puzzle of Elder Kennedy. If you pen three hotrs In a row. and by feeding with corn the foremost one only you fatten the the three, how much does it cost to fatten he third ? A Raii.i-f.ni-e Runaway. lust after ihe Dkmocrat had gone to prets yesterday First street was the scene of a very lively runaway. The team of I nk Seigler be came frightened at an engine on the S P switch and ran west along Kirst street, first on one side and then on the other side of the street. At Barduc & Robertson's corner, the favorate corner for the purpose. the team took the side walk ami mowed don-n four or live awning posts and the Albany Furniture Company s sign, stop nintrn short distance hcvond.

Everywhere "Late discoveries of gold and silver mines have been made in Lane county; gold and natural gas have been found in Linn; coal and gold in Marion, while in Benton county, gold hss been discovered, and a company has been organized in Corvallis to prospect for coal and natural gas. The future of this section of Oregon brightens as our natural re sources are developed. Undoubtedly the hills and mountains on either side of the Willamette valley are rich in mineral." Astoria Planter. Will Celebrate at Eucjexe. "At their meeting Thursday evening C Co, of the O N G, voted to take part in the cele bration of the Fourth of July at Eugene. The boys are well drilled and will be a prominent feature of the procession. The Albany papers will please note this, and pulldown their claim that Co C .vill go to Albany on the Fourth." Eugene (iuard. We do as requested; but if C company should happen to receive a general order from headquarters it will be apt to change it tune. Something New. Yesterday morning J P Hail received two new Columbia bicy cles, one of which, a 53 inch Light Road ster, was for Mr Sherman Thompson. The other is a 41 Inch Safety of a different type from any others here, as it is a small ordinary bicycle with the front wheel geared up to 53 inches. Call at L E Blain's and examine it, as well as the rest of Mr Hail's large stock of Columbia wheels. The Circus. Sel!s Bros' big circus ad. will be fsund to day on our fourth page.

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN. The Man About Town notices tnat the sick man at the St. Charles has been re ceiving nil the christian kindness anyone could ask, particularly from the accommo dating host and hostess, We do not believe the sick and afilicted in Albany ever go un attended if the case Is brought to the atten tion ol even a small part of the public, and Clio, when translated probably means "growler." A large number of our prominent citi zens took a ride yesterday In lohnny Schmeer's line hack just received by him, a little the toniest load being two local edi tors with ink stains on their face, a pam- pleteer, and the head of the city govern ment. The Man About Town has seen the factory where the hack was manufactured over three thousand times and can vouch for the fact that the manufacturers have no superior anywhere. As fur ease, it beats a spring mattress. When the runaway team yesterday was tearing down awning posts promiscuously some one suggested that it would be a good thing if they would wipe out all the awn ings on tlie street. They are eye sores to a growing city like Albany. This time the Oregon Pacific will go right straight through without stopping for winter weather, and well, wo hope so. It takes the small boy to follow crazes. The Albany youth has marbles bad and, so great is the contagion that groups may be seen as late as 9 o'clock at night under the electric lights.tlipping the little spheies and crying "dubs," using various other un. civilized expressions. In a week or two they will need to sell their stcck of keeps, and perhaps eyen taw to go to the circus. The Man About Town observes that large number of Albany young people are on the ragged edge of matrimony, and hence believes they will be interested in the following definition of a kiss given by Dr Gibbons ot ban r rancisco : " 1 he anatom leal juxtaposition of two orbtculars oris muscles in a state of contraction."

Weather Indications. For the hours beginning at 1 2 o'clock, noon. Fair, warmer. IIosii. The Albany Democrat copies without comment, which ordinarily means approval, the following item from the Cor vallis I imcs : "Sjalem and Albany are rival towns in nearly everything. At pres ent tliev are trying to excel each other in raising funds for the celebration of the Fourth of July. Hatred seems to generate patriotism." All this is the veriest bosh. There is no hatred in Salem toward Albany or any other neighboring town, nor are the people of this city in any way jealous of the spirit of emulation displayed occasion ally by the cHy up the stream. The items of good naturcd badinage that have passed through these columns were not tinged with either hatred or ill will, and while Al bany is advancing in very good shape, fialcm recognizes no rivalry. statesman. Ditto with the Democrat, and the Times man knew better, but Corvallis, you know. is sort of a rival too, and he thought he could give both Salem and Albany a hit by the remark, which of course we do not endorse.
