Kino ok the N. W. Last Tuesday at
ity View Park, Portland, Delco trotted
milo m 2 :23! seconds, lowering the
talhon record ol the a. w. m seconds.
ami crowning him king of the turf of the
H. tv. llo won three straight heats, de
feating Altao. Susie 8..Harrv Hover and
Hannibal. Dclco is the oldest son of
Oneco, owned by Mcknight Bros.,of this
iounty. His dam won drowned at the
ferry at this city last fall. lie shows the
, Oneco metal and is a horse to be proud
of. Mr McLeod, of Seattle, his owner,
has refused $10,000 for him. Two or
Ibree years ago a race was arranged at
ibis city between any get of A 1 wood
Breeze owned by Ans Marshall and of
Oneco, owned by the Mc Knight Bros.
Delco was the one chosen by the latter
for the race, which never came off, as Mr
Marshall forfeited the purse. Delco's
performance adds greatly to the value of
Oneco, who could easily be sold, but his
owners tell us they will not part with
jini. He is of great value to Linn coun
ty stock and should be kept in the county.

'Killed Two Bears S H Clawjon
wis in from the Bybee range on Tuesday
and ihowed ample proof of an encounter
with two bean on the Fourth, in which he
and his brother came off victorious. One
of these was a huge black bear and would
have weighed when in condition fully
looo pounds. The other was of the cinna
mon variety ana both hides are now un
dergoing the dressing process at the hands
, of Messrs Clawson. The cinnamon's hide
gave one horse all it could do to pack it
out of the mountains. They had been
quite a terror to the cows in that vicinity
and the calves and colts can hereafter
breathe much easier when scampering
over the hillsides close to the brush

It has been decreed that we will have
a bridge!
After the Democrat was out yesterday
evening the county court made an ap
priation of $40,000 towards the con
struction ot a bridge across the Willam
ette at Albany, to be built according to
the plans in the hands nf (Iia ciivnnn.
cil, selected by the commissioners, the
uruer ior winch appears elsewhere.
At an adjourned meeting of the council
at 7 :3l o'clock the contract was let to
the Portland Bridge Co., as will appear
by the proceedings elsewhere.
The bridge adopted will consist of four
ipans and two aiiDroachea. The smith
approach will begin at the north line of
First street, at Calapooia, and will strike
the first pier 300 feet north. The spans
will be 355, 3,r)5, 305 and 305 feet, respect
ively, and will be 74 feet high over the
main current, above low watpr mnrlr nr
forty feet above high water. The span
crossing the current of the Calapooia
will be nearly 40 feet above the 34 foot
high water mark, rarely reached here,
the pier beyond, standing on the point
of the island. The north approach will
be 345 feet long, a total of 1965 feet. An
inspection of the plans, accessible bv
anyone, will fully explain the situation.
This settles the matter. The citv and
county have united, and every citizen of
11 -I 1 .1 : . : .1
Jiiuauy Biiuuiu uiiutj ill giving tue cuuil-
cil support in the construction of the
bridge. No obstructions will be sub
mitted 10. Ihe site may not suit some,
but when once built it will be forgotten
that there had ever been a dispute, for it
will accomplish what is desired.
The bridge selected is one that will be
a credit to Albany, a high steel structure
of good architecture. The plans for this
patticular bridge were also made with a
view to the navigation of the Calapooia
to the Magnolia mills, if desired, doing
away with any objections that could be
made by the owners of that property.
The timulou8 this movement will nive
to Albany can hardly be estimated. It
will build up the whole city, regardless
of location, and will add many per cent
to the commercial interests of the city.
There is general rejoicing over the re-1
suit, even by people who would have
chosen a different location, for, it means
much to the business man, laborer, cap
italist, property-ownei , everybody.
Hurrah !
