The following is from a Portland papc", and will interest some In Albany : "Uetlch Hros.entlemen's furn isher, have been (flowed by the sheriff on attachment np;regallng $i3,odo. Other creditors not yet ueard from will probably run up the liabilities to $16,000, after a brief business carter of ten months in this citv. The firm had about $7000 cash cap ital, it is haid, with which to begin, and of this about $3000 wan expended in fixtures, $500 more in prepaid rent, and another outlay of a couple of thousand in a bad speculation in liaU, thereby exhausting the original capital. Added to all this, the firm were almost total strangrra to 'he Portland public and imagined they could succeed and patronage fairly crowd them without advertising their wares in a single newspaper since their advent." The Willamette papers are attempting to make their loss an light as possible, and thut not advertise their accident to the world. This may be well enough; but the discerning nubile will understand that an angry II00J cannot rush through a fertile valley, carrying away factories houses and bridges without considerate loss.

Dalles Times Mountaineer. The above would indicate a spirit of rivalry between Eastern and Western Or egon, equal almost to the Polk connty seatship. There is no desire to cover up the facts. A few bridges and some buitdi igs were lost; b'jtthe percentage of loss is remarkably small. We don't know of any suffering or hardship. Take away the loss of the Salem bridge and the Oregon City Mills and there remains only a very scattered loss in low places, some fences, a co. or two. a fow small bridges etc. The inconvenience to busi. ness and the loss of communication with the outside world was the greatest carnage.

The following from the OcVoco Review, we admit surpasses it: "Mark Twain, in his -Big Bonanza," tells of the bottom falling out of a well in Virginia Citv, but an Incident occurred on Willow creek last week that lays Mark's storv in the shade. S S Brown had a well near the creek, and when the flood came the entire well, pump and all, was washed away. Mr Brown found Im pump several hundred yards down the stream bvt his well was nowhere to be found. Crook County. It Is reported In town that Ed Schmeer is very sick with the worst kind of a case of mumps. Ed is somewhere on Beaver creek. About three acres of the W V & C M Co's land in the eastern part of town was washed away Tuesday and Vednesday. Fortunately there weic no houses. Charlie Elkins returned last Sunday from Beaver creek. I le found his father s horses standing the winter well, though he repo.ts quite a loss in cattle and sheep. Henry Page, who was in from Harney last week, reported a heavy loss of cattle in Harney valley. John Devine, he said, was losing 100 head of cattle a dav. Sam Ncwson sold a lot on the banks of Ochoco on Mondav to a man named Bell and on Tuesday the stream raised and washed it away, leaving Mr Bell nothing to show lor his money but a deed to a por tion of Ochoco. Sandy lMtilavson is said to have lost about one-half his shcepduring the recent storm. He had plentv of feed on the place he bought of Col Nye, but for some reason the sheep did not do well on hay alone. On luesda Last December George Saltmarsh, of this citv, and Miss Lola Riley, of Eugene, were united in marriage at the latter city. About three weeks ago at the depot Mr. Saltmarsli informed a Dkmockat man lint his wife had left him and gavehhv the particulars of their trouble, which were. boiled down, that she did not love him ; but laved some one e!-iyuul believing that they could not hi h.'ippv together she bad concluded to leturn to hei home.whieh she did on the outgoing train. This was forty two days after their marriage. She was to have u week lo decide whether she would return aid live with him, which he did not believe she woul J ever do ile said it A'as more than he could stand, and he would go off until the end of the week, as he v.-ai all broken up. Otherwise they had been happy together. Last Thursday he went to Eugene 'o see her.almost mad. dened hy bis trouble. lie found her there; also the young man who was said to be ot the bottom of the trouble, who had only recently been married himself. Mr. Saltinarsh induced his wife to return to Albany and they came here together on Saturday. Giving up all hopes of reconciliation he made up his mind to end both of their lives, buying a Smith & Wesson revolver, 3S calibre, 011 Monday for that purpose. Last evening just before 9 o clock he started for his mother's home,showing the revolver to some friends and remarking tha; he was going on a journey. Going into the house on Second Street he told his wife and mother that he had concluded to go off and would leave for California in the morning. His wife, for just what cause is not knoJvn, rushed bareheaded in to the street.and west along Second Street. Young Saltmarsli followed her, catching up with her In front of Mrs. C. O. Lee's, when lie said : Lola. I'm coine to kill you She faced him and putting her hands on his shoulders said : Don't shoot me, George, don t. Then he raised the revolver and nei- vously pulled the trigger, I. he bullet ctmrk Mrs. Salrmarsh's left ear.oicrcinff it from in front as well as tne flesh back 01 to the sidewalk more lrom Teachers Examination.

The Asto rian tells the following story : One of our most respected citizens tells a startling storv regardlrg his curious adventure while killing tame fowls Wednesday morn ing. He wns preparing for an extensive dinner nnd killed three fowls. The lat one instead of flopping nround like an or dinary hen nnd dying, when its -neau was cut off, got up anil walked about ten feet, laid an egg nnd gave up the ghost. I n the meantime, the man 6ays, the head cackled for nearly a minute before that, too.be came quiet. This country has Its drawbacks, but they are nothing to compare with what Western Oregon had to contend with last week . The floods there were most disastrous. The damage to the S P rail road are of such a nature that it will take several months to put the road in running condition. Elsewhere we give some items from the Prlncville papers, which somewhat contradict the above.
