: At thi Soldier's Home. A gentle
man has just received a letter from an
Albany GAR man, who is now
llrlng at the Soldier's Home, in Los An
geles county, Cal. He writes, among
ther things, that all the work they have
to do can be performed In about one hour
once in three months. He says: "I can't
y that I like the place and if I Has In
Albany again, as I was before I came
here. It would be a long time before thev
would get me here again. We have
enou h to cat, diink and wear, but I don't
like the kind of society I have 10 live in,
there is too much beer and whiskey drank
here to make it pleasant for a temperate
ina.i. The greatest amusement we now
have Is watching the beauty bathe at the
beach. The ranchers are happy this year ;
there is an abundant crop of barlev aud
corn promises a big yield." Telescope.

evidence of their ability as artists of the
highest order on two previous occasions,
will return to Albany for Thursday .Friday
and Saturday of this week, and will pro
duce on Thursday evening the must
famous of all American plays, "Held by
the Enemy," from the pen of the cele
brated American writer, Wm Gillett. The
play Is founded on the late unpleasantness
between the North and South and will
piove of especial interest to old soldiers
and Sons of Veterans. A change of play
will be given each evening during the en
gagement and no piece will be presented
that has ever previously been played here.
We are much more than usually pleased

company,inasinuch as It Is always a pleas
ure to extend tne nana 01 welcome to suc-n
thorough artists as are the .people which
compose the Keene Company, the strength
of which has been greatly augumented by
the addition of several new members,
among whom are some of the leading New
Yoik performers, and now numbers four
teen people, whose coming will be hailed
with pleasure by all lovers of the higher
class of entertainment, who remembering
the thorough enjoyment derived from the
superior performances given during the
company'6 former visit, will we hope turn
out en masse to extend a hearty welcome
on the opening night.

matter of the Albany club trying to do
them up. Only the baiem professionals
have whitewashed them. There should
be at least one good game of base ball in
Albany every week, and here is a chance
for one.
The Albany Base Ball Club has reor
ganized, by electing leo w Morehouse
manager, ar.d the club is now ready to
play any amateur club in the valley. Send

once a week If any club can be secured to
play with.

viewing the proposed site, and looking up
the matter. The court has invited the
court of Linn to meet them at Mill City
on the date mentioned and together look
over the situation. The bridge required
would be a short one, as there are natural
abutiments 0.1 cither bank. The courts
are not decided whether or not to build a
bridge at this place. Thev are merely
looking the matter up at this time.

In Western Oregon the temperature has
been tour degrees a day below the average.
The weather has been partly cloudy with
general rains on q, 10, 11. In son e local'
itles nearly an inch of rain fell. Over
half an Inch fe'l In this section. The
rains did some damage to the hay. Con
sidcrable hay has been already housed,and
some remains o be cut. Generally the
crop has been he.ivlet than for manv years.
five tons per acre of clover hay is reported
trom turry county. 1 ne wncat prospecu
continue to be unusually good. Twenty-
two to thirty-four stalks stooled out from
one grain In Yamhill county. The heads
arc large and berry full and plump. The
grain is turning yellow. Oats and barley
are promising large yields. Fruit trees
are heavily laden and indicate more ot a
crop than was expected j insects are few
and no damage from them as yet. Hops
are coming on well, the lice have not been
as destructive as was anticipated. Early
corn is In the silk. Early potatoes have
been a very full crop. Peaches ate ripen
ing. Warmer weather and more sun
shine needed for all vegetation.
In Eastern Oregon haying Is in pro
gress, yielding well, but some has been
injured by the rains. The hay crop
through the stock sections is especially
heavy. The rains will have a tendency
to help spring grain to fill better. Fall
