The Congressional Record, a r suspended in Washlngton.D.C. last mer has been resuscitated and we Fowiedge the receipt of the same. We ly ex , though really the paper Is not well gotten np, is full of trash and not seem to have any editorial head ken.s to be published something like a .1111 opanisn paper. 1 he compositors uiu me writing, composing whatever plessed and dumping their matter the form iust as it was !.,. ale. The Record, though, contains e interesting things, and as the regular t this coming year will be $S we will luinjuain. Enormous Taxes. A friend says there is a mm In Albany who threatens to sell Ml his property here, on account of high taxes, and move t3 Tacomn. Some one should 6top him, whoever he Is. That ould be terrible.though it really Is unfair fur our citizens to be obliged to pay the present enormous taxes.. Seven mills, think of that. In Seattle they are only thirtv-seven mills and in Tacoma about thirty-five mills; even in Portland they are not over twenty-five mills ; but here In Albany they are seven mills I A man tells us that In the Eastern city where he came from, run almost as well as Albany the taxes were only fifty mills, and he knew of one cUy where they gat as low as one hundred mills. Albany people cer tainly have reason to complain, and th Democrat particularly feels sorry for the old resident here who has to see an elec tric light at his corner slofrly burning out $12.50 worth of electricity every montn, lust to light the city, and against his wishes.

Some Advice. Here is some good ad vice. It is our own, but we stole It and In. sert the name of Albany Instead of the name that was used. All papers are doing this little trick and so we do It. The' last city that had this item was Astoria, and if the advice Is oood for Astorians It is for Albanians: "Albany realty Is Albany money. Advertis: your city. Put mon in Albany and you put money In your own pocket. In assisting the wheels of Albany progress you ride in your own carriage. Call the attention of outside capital to home enterprises." Ten Dats Only. H, ye business men, listen to the voice of the most con servative and successful men of ur town. Buy an acre of land In Albany's addition to Astoria, which to-day costs you less than $25 per lot and which will double In value less than one year. Now don't be a gump but buy it now.

A gentleman,now a resident of Albany, possesses 80 acres of land in a certain part of Kansas.for which he paid $2000 a few years ago. Desiring to secure a loan of $800 on it to invest In Albany property he had a local agent write to a General Investment Co. with a branch office in Portland. The following letter received explains the situation 60 well, and, is withal, such a good joke, that we give It : In replying to vnurs in reference to a loan of $Soo on $0 acres in Stafford Co., Kan., will say that the gentleman applies to the wrong place to sen nis 00 acres, as we are pretty well acquaintel in the vl cinity of his place, and one of my employ ees has 160 acres not over five miles from the gentleman's 80 acres and he will take $900 cash and give a deed tree ot Incum brance, so you see he evidently wants to borrow withintention 01 mortgagee taking the land.

The deceased was (he daughter of Rev E J Thompson, D Di of Corvallis, and was born In Vermont. With her husband and family she came to Alnnuy about four years ago.
