CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
GOOD EVENING.
A Sharp Trick. General Compson is
accredited with securing two appropria
tions lot the Oregon National Guard at
the liamiB ot tins legislature. The uul
lixson bill givinis them $40,000 has
passed both homes over the tsnvernor's
veto. The Ford bill to irive the National
Guard $00,1100 in lieu of the mill tax also
passed both houses. That gives the state
militia a cool hundred thousand to
operate with the coming two years. The
governor cannot well veto the Ford bill
wllliouc restoring uiw uiui lux Ul uom
the militia and State University, and
adding considerably to what they will
now receive- When the matter came
before tho House of passing the Gullix
son bill over the veto Ford denounced it
as being in bad faith and an outrage on
the taxpayers of this slnte. Journal
Ford was right. Such ziud of legislation
is very disgraceful and not at all credita
ble to anybody concerned.
Our Memkhrs. The Salem Journal
publishes a flash light of the members of
the Btate legislatuie, in which the Linn
county members get the following good
noticos:
Weatherford. an excellent reasoner.
logical debater and commands the es
teem of a'l his colleagues.
Jeff Meyers' genial nature and strict
attention to business renders him a con
spicuous figure, an intelligent law maker
and the lady's man of the senate.
Miller, gallant, dashing, always liaopy
ud timely in his remarks and never
bores.
Elevens, quiet, dignified, chuck full of
good fellowship and common sense.
Elmore, sagacious, silent, plenty of
brains and knows how to use tbem.
Tim New Officers. The first set ol
officers of Lincoln county, according to
the slate agreed upon by the men instru

tounty treasurer.

Ted Paiker or Geo Land is, assessor.
Vt Rich, coroner.
Alkeady the Wool on Mill at Dallas Is
in trouble. It is a fine thing for a city
lo have a woolen mill, but it takes busi
ness men to run one successfully. The
Tranpcript says: The stockholders of
tlie Woolen Manufacturing Company
met at the court house Thursday alter
noon. Afttr some discussion they de
cided to make p.n effort to raise sufficient
money to save the mill froir sale and
pat thingB in proper shape to start the
concern. Accordingly a committee was
appointed to Bolicit subscriptions to the
capital stock of the company.
R R Commissioners. At the republi
can caucus last night McCrum, of Yam
Ull county. J B Eddy, the Pendleton
alitor, and den Cenipson, of Klamath
Falls, were selected as railroad commis
sioners. They choose their own clerk
from the members. The board is an
entirely new one. Linn county men will
learn not to run for office. Thev Generally
Jet leit. Even Mr Miller had it published
that he was a resident of Portland, in
stead of Albanr.it iB reported. so he would
stand some chance.
A New Grange. Yesterday at the
school house four miles eBt of Albany,
Deputy R A Irvine organized Riverside

He has undoubtedly lost faith in the
word of legislators. It is renorted
enough votes were pledged him before
the republican caucus to have elected
him; but onlv received S in the caucus.
The truth is the commissioners Belecied
will create general dissatisfaction. There
19 evidently something shaky in the
matter.
A silver wedding.
Yesterday was the 25th anniversary
of the marriage of Mr and Mrs A
Barker. The event was celebrated in
the evening at their residence near the
S. P. depot with a silver wedding, and
Mr Barker is now thoroughly converted
to free silver. The evening was spent
in games, thorough sociability and in
partaking of a Bumptuous wedding repast
The happy and live young couple were
rememoerea wun a line display ol silver

they should live to celebrate their golden
wedding under as favorable auspices.

Keep Youb Sign Out. The great
Peter Cooper is credited with the follow
ing rare bit of common sense: "In all
towns where a newspaper is published
every man should advertise, even if
nothing more than a card telling his
name and the business in which he is in.
It not only pays the advertiser, but lets
the people at a distance know that the
town you reside in has a prosperous
class of business men. As the send are
sown so it recompenses. Never pull
down the sign if you intend to do busi
ness, for it often indicates that your grip,
commercially, is broken. The judicious
advertiser will receive $10 for every one
invested in the columns of a local news
paper.' Gkt Started Right.

ries there to be secured anywhere. If you
would have the best groceries and produce
al the most reasonnble prices call on Conn

Now, in addition to conducting his news
paper and drawing a good pension, lie is
a commissioner of the state penitentiary,
regent of the state university, assistant
attorney-geneial o' the state and clerk
of the senate and penitentiary com

he seems to be able to cover a consider
able number of salary drawing offices.
The Express does not cive the true
inwardness of the matter in the follow
ing item : The Military Band boys, of
Albany, came out to Lebanon last lues
day evening to give an entertainment.
They secured the Band hall and city
license, but as tne crowd lulled to arrive
as they expected they only plaved a fe v
pieces and then refunded back the
money to those that were there and then
quit. They gave foroe first-class music
on the streets. We are sorry our people
did not turn out better. But come again
boys and be that yon will have better
luck next time.
