The O. P. Co. purposes running the
steamers Hong and Bentley three times
weekly between Albany and Corvallis,
and as far down the river as Portland j
during the winter, and the Three Sis-:
ters will ply between Corvallis and;
Harrisburg.
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

ten to have one of that date, we will
accept two ordinary dollars.

Belling at cost. He will be pleased to
meet his former customers in his new
quarters.
Rev. W. V. 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

the town of Joseph for exhibition, and
o sooner had it arrived there than it

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. The fool-
Hilier certainly ougni to biiow m

done." "The String of Pearls" will

Locating Valuable Timber Land.
A company consisting of Dr. C. C.
Kelley, B. F. Tabler, E. F. Sox, S. 8.
Train, A. B. Wood in, Richard Fox, S.
W. Reece, T. L. Bugger, 13. Race, Wm.
Hunter and N. T. 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.

A Surprise Party.
Iii view of the fact that Mrs. llagen
is to return home soon, last
Wednesday evening a large number
of neighbors and friends assembled at
the residence of Judge Miller, where
she is visiting, and completely sur
prised her and the family as well, they
not expecting anyone. Mrs. Hagcn
had retired. The evening M as spent

Another Klection Bet.
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.
Will not be comforted!
Let ns be patient The severe afflictions
Not from the ground arb,
But oftt-ntimes celestial benedirttonn
Axnime this dark disguise.
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! ' What wee ins so is tran-ltkm:
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of lite elyslan.
Whose portal we ciul Death.
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.

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

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
