In speaking of making a Y and economising on rail In a roaJ to Astoria the Salem Journal says : "While Salem 1 getting ahead fast, Sa lem is not Irving to get an unfair advan tage of nnv cither town. We bclit-.ve such cities as Salem and Albany have a com mon Interest in a good trunk line to the sea. And the Y is just what we have advocated." A Feast of Siiakesi'EArk. Albany has several more Shakespearean readers than two weeks ago. Tiandmanu did It, He came, attracted attention and old and young hunted up their books and prepared for the performances. We have had more Shakespeare than in the entire history of the city before, but no one has yet cried Mold, enough. That it should come to this is a consummation to be bourn with out anv prickling of the conscience. When the large and cultured audience last evening enthusiastically called Mr llani!- mann before the curtain, in a very neat speech he complimented our city on the great interest we had shown in tiie legitl mate drama, for a city of the size of Al b.iny,aud gave a flowery speech of appre ciation of the splenJid treatment received. Mr riandiuann is a great Othello and is at his best In this character. On account of the illness of Mr iiuebner Miss Wally Oliver took the part of Iago,thc personifl citiou of villainy.learnlng the part in three l.ivs.nnd did some fine acting. MissTresa ICIIsworth as Detdemona displayed her best tah-nt In the three plays given here. Some of the cleverest acting ever seen in Albany was done by Miss Ina Sollee as Kmelia, the wife of iago.and she captiv.it. ed the audience. Mr I'aTish was an ex cellent Roderlgo. Mr llcathcote would be cood if lie would remember his lines. t'assio was well presented by Mr llowatt, T,.. : K..I!.... it... ..K-iwn h r nm-it-L- in.r , . , , , and Mr Wiyht was good as lirabanto. Of "It must never be forgotten that a road .. ,,. . sln,M , admit o( from lOasttrn Oregon to Astoria via Salem is the most direct, easily built and desira ble line to the sea. Albany has already a sea-port connection and Astoria people must realize that their strong point of be ing a great eea-porttown will not he made more important by a division of sea going trauic with Yacpiina." In other words Salem would like to have Albany take it in out of the cold and make it a point on a great line to the East. Too sleepy to do much more than live on the states pap it tragically shakes its sides, blows wind from whittled dry goods boxec, and subscribes only twenty or thirty thou sand dollars stock In a railroad and puts the paper on the shelf. It Is in order for our sister city to do some acting and relieve us from all shout, ten headlines to a birth notice, as it were. ai;e 1 the introduction of small armies and the like, but the general effect is exciting and instructive. Othello ends bad and is too tragic for ma.iy, out it is a great play nevertheless. "Come again, Uandmann Bad Cask of Grii'I-k. One day last week a voung man, who lives not many miles from Jurxtion came to town on errand, says the Pilot. Iiefore starting home lie proceeded to take aboard some of Junction's best bug juice. lie called atta neighbors on his way home, and being quite lively and talkative. he succeeded in Inducing a little ghl of wme four sum mers to sit on his lap. After a very few moments the little tot slid off his lap and iminir to her mother who was sitting r.rrasH the room, she whispered. "Main ma, Mr M has the grippe awiui Dau.

In ad ding trade we will add wealth, not only by increased sales by our merchants, but by Increased value to property which would brluir more money to both the city and county in the line of taxes.

AN Ex-Co. Judge. S A Johns, an old resident of Linn county, died at Good Sa mjiritan hnsnltal Wednesday evening. He was sent to the hospital by Judge Catlin, He had been living at Prinevillc several i-pAT, nnd w in very poor health. The "deceased was at one time county judge of this county. He leaves a wife and several rhiMren Indue lohns came to Oregon In 1S64 and resided In Linn county until 1880. His death will be learned with re gret by many old residents here. Foroot It. A well known Albany young mar., not much given to being car ried away by the gentler sex, to-day was going home in a street car in company ith a popular school teacher from a neighboring town, with the dinner's meat by his side. They got off at the proper place, but the meat went on.being entirely torirotien on account 01 greater attractions, a fact which greatly amused several eve witnesses, and we were ordered to make note of the little transaction.and most any thine is crabbed at these quiet days. It Is thought there was one dinner with"scraps' tor meat,a common experience 10 eauors. Over in Linn county last Sunday a beau went to church with his sleigh, in tending to take his sweetheart home alter the services, but a chlnook wind came along and took off all the snow before the preacher had exhausted his text.
