The Oregon Jouonal of last Sun day contained a very interesting and instructive write-up of an automo bile trip to Albany and points in Linn county.

It extolled the beauties of Unn county, called attention to several places of interest in Albany and told how the name was changed from HERE seems to be some misunderstanding, either willful or ignorantly, that all who live outside of Scio a id who purchase elect rice juice from the city of Scio become liable for a part of the bonded indebtedness on the Scio Electric Plant No one. as this paper has often repeated, but the people within the corporate lim its of Scio is liable for any of this debt To illustrate, we will say that if the circulators of this falsehood about assuming the indebt edneas of Scio has a mortgage on their farms or business* « ship produce to a Portland commission house, will the purchase of your produce by the commission house make it partner with you in your mortgage?

That the city was able to meet so much of the outstanding indebted ness was marvelous, in face of the fact that so much had to be done on the water tower and in placing a 10-horse automatic electric motor in the pumping station and the build ing <>f a floodgate at the Jordan dam.
