The Astoria and South Coast Rail way is an assured fact. It will run through Tillamook county and come into the valley somewhere, and the citizens of Salem and Albany are working to have it come to their re spective cities. Albany is infested with tramps, sev eral being lodged in the caliboose each night, and burglaries are of frequent occurrence. Lebanon, not being on tlie main line of the railroad, is seldom visited by these worthless fellows, for which we are thankful. If you have a silver dollar of 1S04, we will receive it in payment for a vear's subscription to The Express. That coin is so scarce that it is said to be valued at $600.

McGee, a graduate of Cumberland University, at present pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian church at Cottage Grove, paid this office a pleasant visit. He is a young man of fine address, good talents, of unblemished character as a Christian minister. We congratulate the good people of Cottage Grove on having so excellent a man to settle among them. A farmer in Wallowa county suc ceeded in raising a monster squash weighing 1S3 pounds. He took it to the town of Joseph for exhibition, and o sooner had it arrived there than it was made the object of a political bet. If Cleveland is elected a prominent business man of Joseph has agreed to ro the squash to Enterprise, a dis tance of several milesr and in case TTf prison is elected another citizen has afffeed to do the same thing.

Moore have located about 1500 acres of timber and agricul tural land on the line of the Oregon Pacific, about twenty-two miles above Mehama. Some of the land will be taken as homesteads by those of the company who were soldiers and have but a short period to live upon it, and a portion of it will le bought as timber land. The land has fine timber upon It, and it is the Intention of the com pany to take in a portable saw mill ; also to start some fruit ranches. The building of the Oregon Pacific through this district has rendered valuable large tracts of fine timber as well as small pieces of choice fruit and garden lands along the Santiam river, a por tion of which is yet unsurveyed. The lands taken by these gentlemen are surveyed, and will doubtless soon be come very valuable. Herald. Pl-ahytery, The Oregon Presbytery of the C. P. church met at this place yesterday, and will continue over Sunday. The ten Ing sermon was preached last evening by Rev. T. H. Small. There will be preaching each morning and evening.

Seattle comes to the front with the most peculiar campaign wager that we have heard of. A young couple of that place who have decided to wed at some indefinite period, take opposite views of the political question, and make the following wager: If Cleveland is re elected the-wedding will be celebrated on the 4th of March next, the day the President takes his seat, but if the Re publican candidate is elected they will not be married till March 4th the year following. This seems to be one of those bets where you win if you lose, Hadn't Got It Full. The Independence West Side tells the following: Harley Alexander, the newly appointed postmaster at Buena Vista, received his first mail recently in a large mail bag, which he emptied, hung on a hook and proceeded to fill up. Several days having elapsed with out any mail being received at this office, T. J. Ford, our ever-accommc-dating P. M., asked him to send on h:s mail, and received in reply the follow ing: "Great Scott! You must be in a terrible hurry. I haven't got the blamed sack half full yet!" Oregon School. Prof. McElroy says the school popu lation of Oregon is from 85,000 to 87,- 000. This includes all between the age of 4 and 20 years. Of this number there are 68,000 enrolled in the schools, with an average attendance of about 61,000. There are from 3500 to 4000 more of school age in the State this year than last, as a large number of new-comers have settled in Oregon The increase in the number of those who attend is about 3000 more this year than it was last. This is a large increase. , OOUVAltT. A week ago our attention was called to the announcement of the death of little Genevieve Davidson, which oc curred on Wednesduy morning, Oct. 17, 1SS8. She was sick but two days before her death. Only those who knew little Genevieve can realize what a Jewel has been taken from another household. She was of a kind and loving heart and of a sweet and tender disposition. Her presence mado glad the homo where she dwelt, and only those who have lost dear children are able to sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Davidson in this their sad bereavement. This visitation of God's Inscrutable providence brings sorrow to our hearts as well as lessons for our lives. That a little girl in the blom of childhood, and so dear to her parents, should thus suddenly be snatched from their j res ence, Is mysterious Indeed. But it is simply an example of what our Heavenly Father Is doing every day throughout the world. He Is simply j claiming His own, and canying out that injunction of His Word which says: "They shall be mine, saith the liord of hosts, In that day, when I make up my Jewels." He removes the children from the troubles, cares and trials of this world and transplants them In the garden of heaven. And while parents sorrow for their children "because they are not," yet they may comfort themselves with that blessed assurance that their heavenly condi tion is Infinitely superior to all that is earthly. Thus God Is teaching us as He speaks to us In the harsh tones of command and In the gentle voice of love. Shall we not all heed His ap peals and admonitions? The heartfelt sympathy and Christian love of this entire community go out to Mr. and Mrs. Davidson iu this their sad be reavement. We can only commend them and their remaining child to the tender love and care of Him who hath said: "Even so, it Is not the will of your Father which Is In heaven that one of these little ones should perish." RESIGNATION. There U no Bock, howvwr watched and tended, Btit one dead btmb It therel There to no Breside. howsoe'er defended, Hut has one vacant chair I The air Is full of farewells to the dyirip, And mourning finr the dead; The heart of Rachel, for her children crying.

We see but dimly through the tnfens and vajrs: Amid these earthly damp What seem to us but sad, funereal tatH'ra May be heax-en's distant lamps. There Is no IVath!

She Is not dead. the child of our affection, But gone unto that school Where she no louirer needs our wor protection. And Christ himself doth rule. In that (Treat cloister's stillness and seclusion, By guardian angels led. Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution, She lives whom we cal! dead. Pay after day we think what she is doing In those bright realms of air ; Year after rear, her tender steps pursuing. Uehoid her grown more fair. Thus do we walk with her, and keep unbroken The boud which nature gives. Thinking that our remembrance, though un spoken. May reach her where she lives. Not as a child shall we atrain behold her; For when with raptures wild In our embraces we anin cufold her. She will not be a child: But a fair maiden. In Iter Father's mansion. Clothed with celestial grace; And beautiful with all the soul's expansion Shall we behold her face. And though, at times, impetuous with emotion And anguish long suppressed. The swelling heart heaves moaning like the ocean, That cannot be at rest, Wc will be patient, and assuage the feeling We may not wholly stay; By silence sanctifying, not concealing. The grief that must have way. Henry Wadsworth tongfellow. National Surgical Institute.

Mr. Henry Willehlte started for Prinevlllo last Saturday. Quite a number of Brownsville peo ple are attending court this week. We do not have bo much elcknee since our last rain, still some few are sick with fever. Mrs. Caleb Davis and daughter, of Corvallis, and Miss Gertie Davis are visiting her daughter, Mra. W. D.

HOW DOOTORS CONQUER DEATH. Doctor Walter K. Hammond savs: "After a long experience I have couie to the conclusion that two-thirds of all deaths from coughs, pneumonia and consumption, might be avoided If Dr. Acker's English Itemed v for Consump tion were only carefully used In time." This wonderful Hemedy is sold under a positive guarantee by Beard & Yates. The pinion prevails generally that the amount of wheat awaiting ship ment down the Willamette, r to red In the warehouses of the valley, exceeds that ot many previous years, not ex cepting the productive season of 18S4.

All persons knowing themselves In debted to me will please call and set tle at once, as I need my money. iu. A. MlLI.Kn. Westward Bound. Yesterday evening some Immigrants an old man and h'8 family passed through town, whose outfit and mode of navigation attracted considerable attention. They were all footing It except the old man, who was Bcated In the wagon, a dilapidated affair, to which was attached, by means of patched up harness, two old cows as wheelers. In front of these were hitched a steer, and a little Jackass that looked like he might weigh atxnit seventy-five pounds. HUH In front of these was hitched a superannuated old mare, and in front of her a boy pulling tin a rope. Where they came from and what place is their destination was not lerrned, as they looked not to the right nor to the lett, and did not pause iu their march. We Judge that the old patriarch is the great grandfather of the celebrated Ell family and will get there If you give him time. Union Scout. Short of l'rodnee. The chicken, egg and butter supply of this state has fallen further behind the demand this year than ever liefore, and now It seems as if the supply of hogs Is ulso to be short, and more lard, bacon and hams will have to be im ported than ever before. It Is not that the supply Is less than usual, but the Increase In the supply has not kept pace with the increased demand, owing to tho Inert use of population. It is hardly to be expected that this state can raise pork In such quantities as the great corn-growlnp states, but there snouii te no troiuiie in producing ennugii tor Home consumption.
