INTERESTING LETTER
Marvels at Handsome Home
Resided in by Editor of
Big Paper.
Continued from Friday, August 29.
By F. P. Nutting.
Seattle, Aug. 28. (.Special to Dem
ocrat.) lhat Seattle nas the small
est store in the world, is the state
ment made to visitors. It is a post
card affair in the shape of a crack
between two walls, and is 18 inches
wide in front, about two feet further
back. The only clerk is a young la
dy, and there are no floor walkers
or elevators. The rent is $35 a month.
Speaking of rents, people tell me
there has been a big drop in resi
dences, cottages, bungalows and flats.
This is generally considered a bad
sign, often an indication of poor busi
ness conditions. Certainly, though,
appearances speak for a very live and
prosperous city. The 42 story Smith
block, the highest on the Coast, is
now merely a tall steel skeleton. There
has been little or no work on the
structure for several weeks. One ru
mor is that the foundation is not sat
isfactory; but this is doubtful.
The cost of living in Seattle is
probably as high as in most big cities
but. in some things the prices are de
cidedly low. Elctric lights cost 6
cents a kilowatt, with a minimum of
50 cents a mouth, and water is on the
meter system with a minimum of 50
cents. This is due to two systems,
one owned by the city.
1 took a swim in the Sound at Alki,
a bathing beach, popular with the
masses, yesterday, and got filled up
on alkali-and was chilled by the cold
water, Alki is quite a resort, with
many summer cottages. The names
of some are as odd as those of the
Albany Chautauqua tents. Here are
some of them: Show Me, Our Lazy
Bones, Langhalot, Idlewild, May Be
In, Blarney Stone, Three of Us, O.
G. Whiz, No Doubts, Sleepy Nook,
O. G. U. R. E. Z., Mutt and Jeff,
Camp Harmony.
Vc had lunch on the edge of the
- beach. In the menu were some home
made doughnuts. A six year old boy
in our crowd who was anticipatin
a wade in the Sound, refused to take
one, because, he said, "I might sink."
Xo visit to Seattle is complete
without a ride on the Washington
Lake boulevard, eighteen miles long,
winding amidst enchanting scenery
along the edge of the lake. One of
the pretty places is a letter S. We
made this trip with Mr. and Mrs.

out through the university grounds,
and past many beautiful homes,

Lebanon Man Says That Ex

This Year.
That interest is still maintained in
Albay's apple fair, although the fair

grand success, is indicated by the fol

by Manager Stewart of the Commer

and indicates that a big crop will be
harvested there.
The letter was in part:
"Will Albany hold the annual ap

include agricultural products as was
the case last season? Wease forward

Salem, Or., Aug. 28. (Special to
Democrat.) Stating that had not a
crew of United States geological sur-
steps to have the state pay him fur
his loss.
Tooley gave the pail of paint to the
surveyors when they arrived at his
place, he says, and when they de
parted they left it suspended on a nail
in the barn. Feeling sure that they
would return for it, he left it there,
and one day his two cows removed it
from the nail and drank its contents
with fatal effect.
The secretary of state has advised
In m that the state has no jurisdiction
over government men, and that he
must prosecute his claim betore the
federal departments.
Tooley with his family reside on a
10 acre tract of land near Millersburg,
where he has resided for many years,
coming here from Indiana. He is re
garded as one of the most thorough
and srrewd truck gardeners in that
section and has established rscords
on his patch. He is distressed over
the loss of his cows and will probably
take the matter up with the federal
department.

note the interest manifest in Linn

support which they deserve, the help
of teachers which they merit and the
encouragement of parents, they will

Local People Have Reason To
Be Proud of Citizen Soldiers
Says Flo,
AGAIN MADE BEST
RECORD IN FIRING
"Pay Day" Is Most Important
Event fo Happen in Camp
NowDrills Over.
Fort Stevens, Or., Aug. 30. (Spe
cial to Democrat.) That Albany has
reason to be proud of its citizen sol
diers, both as to their good behavior
while in camp and as to their military
ability, and that they are perhaps the
crack company in camp here, was the
declaration made by First Sergeant
Hans Flo, of the local company yes
terday following service nmuuition
fire drill.
In commenting on the company and
the camp life, Sergeant Flo said:
"Our full service firing has now
been finished. There is always an
excitctueiH on the day the big 10 inch
guns roar. Albany has reason to be
proud of us citizen soldiers, both as
to (heir good behavior in camp and
also as to their promptness and ex
actness in handling the guns.
"While we made on such record as
! last year when we shot the target to
1 pieces, yet we made lour hits in the

panics in rapidity of fire, getting off
4 shots in 4 minutes. Considering
that about thirty-five men have to do
with the range finding, correction for
tide, wind, etc., leading, and aiming,
this is exceedingly fast work for ama
teurs. "Fvcry time one of the guns arc
fired it costs the government about
$500 which accounts for the fact that
each company is only allowed four
shots, the rest of the time being taken
up with sub-calibre practice and in-

"Wc have had no trouble here with
I. W. W.s or Socialists since arriving
though we have been very curious lo
get a look at some of the principals
in the recent troubles here. Each

camp, under armed guard, doing fa
tigue duty.
"While our regiment was passing
through Portland enroutc to Fort
Stevens a man, evidently an anarchist
ran along the line of march, using
allusive language, reviling the flag,
the militia and soldiers in general.
However, he had the misfortune to
approach near to Col. Lawson, who
also happens to be superintendent of
the state penitentiary at Salem, with
the result that he was knocked down
and had to be removed in an ambu
lance. ""The most important event before
us now while in camp, is pay clay,
which comes on Saturday, when those
of hi who have not sold our pay will
be able to repay the money we have
borrowed wherever we could."
