Local kkgoud The Mask IiAix.-Thc Mask Ball at ; Opera House was one of the any est .ent of the season. The decorations, to Ljrin with, were gay. It wan a gay crowd I iid everything conduced to make the vent lively. The music was furnished by .ink's orchestrn. There were sixty mask. besides other dancers, and a large Irowd of spectators. Many of the cos- bmes were attractive, some on account o1 iieir elegance, others because of their IceuiiiiriticB. There were Japs and Gyp ties, all kinds of queens, pages, dominoes, nborine eirls, clowns, kings, sportsmen, Lava Hers, dudes. Little Lord Fauntlcioy Iwas present, etc., too many for publication 1 to-days kmocut. The Mail Survick, Some mild ex ceptions have been made to the ciiticism s lin which the Democrat has indulged in regard to the miserable mall service to ivhich the people are treated. The De- Imocrat knows not what clerk is to blame, but we call attention to the fact that the I local mail made up for Albany between I Portland and Albany on 1 uesday evening I was carried by this office on south and brought back next morning.

Dcnham has sold his wire works factory, including the land, fo Haw. kins & Farrell and K. E.

Not only has the real estate market been lively and upward; but the amount of building done has been very flattering We give the record as completely as we can get it, both In the amount of building and In real estate sales , the latter being as taken from the records, and are for the entire county of Linn. In Albany partic ularly a larte number of prominent sales have been for a nominal consideration, so that the figures do not do justice to the fucts; but they about treble those of i888- In the list of building improvements we have endeavored to give the figures with out the customary exaggeration of baom Ing cities.
