Oregnnluna think that they have
had something of a storm. Home have
Indeed ruiio ho far us to protest that tho
weather was "dreudfuf," und few of
the more choleric huve Insinuated that
they intend to "get out of this coun
try." Nw we do not desire to b im
pertinent, but leing mi earnest seeker
after knowledge-,' wo would Inquire
where such people intend tojgoto get
better weather? To I'Klifjrnia, per
haps, where, when lrains at nil, tho
windows of heaven open und the coun
try Is flooded; or It may be to JSebrus
ka, where the blixzard is Just now ou
Its annual howl; or to lown, where the
cyclone cellar ' Is n neeesstty;
Where the cyelone cellar Is a necssity;
or to Minnesota, 'where a handkerchief
wrung out ot boiling water freezes
solid hefore it can be shaken mid hung
across a line In the open air, or twny
back to New England, where tho bleak
easts winds whistle around the deserted
homestead of a sturdier generation?
Come to look around, after rending
weather report irom other stations,
Oregon is not such n dreadful place,
after all, though the luxuriant wheat
on Its plains and valleys is covered
with a Httffleletit depth of snow to pre
serve it from a possible freeze, and the
rose buds, with which the gardens and
door yards were gay at Christmns.havu
turned black with frost The weather
is not pleasant, tout is certain, but after
all, the drip of the caves, as an accom
paniment of the somewhat deliberate
thaw that has set in. Is more cheerful
than the echoes nf the northeast blasts
that come to us from across the Itock
ies. Oregoniau.
The political pot has begun to sim
mer u little, und a geuerul waking up
mid more hands-baking is the resilt.
Lebanon has abundant material, good
material, flrst.class material, for any
and every oiTicc in the county. We
predict that there will be a eloe race
iu old Linn this yenr,and if candidate's
are not clean cut and clear iu their
record, there will be an aw ful scramble
to get In, uo matter by what nomina

being situated near the center of Linn
county, the finest agricultural coun
ty iu the state, located on south fork of
the Bautiam at the terminus of the
Lebanon branch of the S. I K. Il,with
three trains a day, giving tu good mail
facilities, and better than many towns
w ith much larger populations than we
have. Laying to the westof our town
Is some of tho finest grain and fruit
lauds in the county; U the north is
land suitable for gram, hops, fruit and
vegetables; to the south and east is a
large sti etch of nountry suitable for
grain and stock raising. These lands
are occupied by a thrifty, enterprising
class of farmers and stock raisers, some
of them owning large tracts of land
which they are wilting to subsidize in
to smaller tracts to suit purchasers,
having learned from experience that
small farms with better cultivation
will give more favorable results. Leb
anou has a population of from seven to
eight bundled, being the second larg
est U-wn In the county. The business
of Lebanon is well represented by an
enterprising class of business men. We
have good public schools, an academy
and a number of churches.
The citizens of our town have Made
arrangements with O'Neil Brothers, of
California, by which they agree to
erect and operate paper mills with a
capacity of five ton of paper per day,
with a pay-roll of four tnousand dollars
er month.
Our citizens are taking steps to or
ganize a company for the construction
of a w ater ditch, by taking the Bauti
atn river at or near Cheudle's Falls and
bringing water into the city limits,
giving us a good water supply and
power sufficient for a number of mills
and factories. With all these Improve
meuts we may reasonably expect to
double our popnlatiou within the next
eighteeu months.
The Ileal Estate business is repre
sented by tho firm of Peterson & Wal
lace, who are ready and willing at all
times to show you through thu city and
country free of charge. They have on
their list a great manj' farms, w hich
will be sold at prices and terms to suit
purchasers. Call on them und see
some of their city property. They
have lots in every addition in Lebanon
