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. For further Infer,
mation inquire of the
Oreoo Lasd Comfany.
The Place To Set Them. For bar
gains In shets go to A B Mciwalns. He
sells A J Johnson's French kid shaes, (ns
ga-od as made) at $3. 50, Curacoa kid shaes
(same brand) $2.50, Grain leather, and
other brands that defy competition. Also
a large stock of mens beots Jc shoses
which will be sold at prices never knswn
before.
Stall Fed Geese. We have on hand
a fine lot of stall fed geese. Call earlyanJ
oredr one for your New Years d!nner,aIo
our usual as 10-tment of fruits and vegeta
bles. Willamette Packing Co.
Kid Gloves. I have just received an
Invoice of the celebrated P. Centemerl
kid gloves In black and colored. These
with the other brands I handle, Foster
genuine hook and Our Own brand, makes
an asortment that any lady can be suited
in prices and quality. Thsse are all first
class goods and warranted as represented.

Understood It. 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. We are from Kansas ourselves.

PRICIIARD. On Tuesday morning
Dec 31st, 18S9, at her home In Albany, of
consumption. Clara, wife of Rev E R Prl;h"
ard attheage of iSyears. 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. All who
knew her learned to love her, for her wavs
were gentle, her disposition noble, her con-
duct that of a pure christian woman; a
loving mother and wife. The community
loses an exemplary citizen, and the afflicted
faintly have the universal sympathy of our
people In their sad bereavement. '
The following Is a more detailed obitu
ary of the life of the deceased: Borri In

moved with hei parents to Minnesota, re
siding I" the northern portion of the state
Later her parents removed in Minneaplis
where she united with the Andrew Pres
byterian church at the early age of 13. A
year or two later, though really an Invalid,
she began studying in the State university
and persevered In this work until in the
juniorcla.ss, when by the doctors advice,
her parents removed with her to Castlelen
North Dakota, There she married Rev E
R Prlchard on Dec 371h. 1SI1. Afiertrv-
ing this climate for four years, she, h'er
husband and little son George came to Sa

Mav 1SS6. when Rev Mr Prlchard was
called to the pa;'orate of the First Pres
