Up to this time we are not able to give an accurate average of the wheat crop per acre in this vicinity, but it will not 1 far from 20 bushels. Spring Rown grain will probably fall below 20 bushels. A 100 yard foot race between R. Cam eron of Albany, and Edjrar Hcridet of Frineville, was run in Albany on Mon day evening for ?40. It was easily won by Cameron. Considerable money changed hands on the race. Word has been received at Salem from C. I.

The evening train for Lebanon will le held at Albany until after the enter tainment for the convenience of thotse who wish to attend from this place. Mr. J. B. Wirt is selling fruit trees and desires the public to know that he is selling as cheap as the cheapest, and that Mr. Settlomire's stock is first-class. Trees ordered will le delive red in first class condition, free of charge. Every body should wait until Mr. Wirt calls on them, or send their order to Leban on, and he will fill the same with the utmost care and at the lowest figuns. That the O. F. company means bus iness is evidenced in the fact that there are now at work and preparing to go to work over 1000 men. Four car load of horses were received last week- from over the O. 11. & N. line. A large force of men is also engaged in laying track, traveling, etc., between here andSan- tiam river, as it is intended to movei this year's crop direct to San Fran cisco. Tbe train from this place to Albany, on Monday afternoon last was delayed an hour and a quarter, the delay lieing occassioned by fire in the grain field of John Baltmore. It caught from sparks from an engine, ami burned over a large amount of stubbie and sj rend into a pile of wheat sacks. The train stopped and the men got off and assist ed in checking the fire. It was put out With considerable difficulty. But a small amount of wheat was burned. A lightning tooth extractor has been doing up Jacksonville in great style the pas t few days. He applies a medicine to the gums and teetli, which makes extraction painless. A great many that had teeth extracted are now complaining, and several ca ses are reported, from reliable parties, where it was found necessary to call a physician. His prices "are extortionate, and he is pronounced by all as a first class bilk, and jieople should look out for him. As he is traveling uorthwaid, we would advise our readers to give him a wide birth. In other words, patronize your home dentist, aud run no risks. This may be applied to every other profession and trade. Railroad Commissioners, Waggoner f and Slater have been in Albany dur- 1 ing this week investigating complaints recently made that more was charged for a short haul thau a long haul on freight in Linn county. The com plaint is specifically that overcharge are being made on grain shipments lm. tween Tangent and Albany. The fuels, as ascertained by the commissioners, are that a charge of ?lrt per oar load Is made by the O. & C. for M heat from Tangent to Albany, while from the same place to Portland 'only fJO Is charged. A test ease will bo made of the matter, and it is probable that a shipment of grain will lm made for this purpose wHhiu a few days. The matter will come before the oommU. sioners in due form nl tlu lu-xt m -et-ing in Ralem.

This solves Ihe question which has Iwn racking the brains of the editors of the nntt-prohihitton papers as to what we would do for a euro for snake bite in caso prohibition carried In this state.
