paper mill to cost alwut fifty thous
and dollars, and which when com
pleted will give employment to
some filty hands and will make a
good market for the surplus straw
our farmers may have to sell, as
well as large quantities of wood for
fuel. In close proximity to the
flouring mills and site for the paper
manufacturing establishment there
is a good saw mill owned by our
enterprising fellow citizen, Mr.
Goo. V. Wheeler, who places his
IuuiIht at small, reasonable rates,
that any who contemplate building
must be satisfied with the prices.
Within the city proper Messrs.
Wiley & Walton own a fine steam
planer and sash, door and window

ment. Mr. K. Goan conducts and
owns quite an extensive furniture
and undertaking establishment,
where may be bought a cradle for
the infant, a desk for the school
boy, a fine fiit out for the newly
raiirried pair, easy chairs for old
age and a comfortable casket for the
dead. In fact he is willing and
able to furninh you anything in his
line ot most reasonable prices. Mr.
Goan has juHt added a line steam

Hyde t Cross own and run a steam
chopping mill, and are doing a fine I

made for the erection of a foundry ,

which is the contemplated ditch

Mr. llalston is "the principal owivr
of the. various additions to the
town of Lebanon, while Messrs
Kirkpntrick and Dodge and Mr.'iin
Jonathan Wnssom also own vahuv

gentlemen are all without excep

men, who deprecate anything like
a boom unless there is a solid real
ity behind it. They place their
properties on the market at such
prices that parties seeking invest
ments are astonished at the moder
ate prices asked for Lebanon prop
erty in comparison with that asked
and obtained for lots and blocks in
other towns with not one-quarter
the present advantages and future

Our school facilities are good:
the Smitium Academy, presided
crivimr us t ie best
over by Prof. R. N. Wright and .a
corps of assistants, and the public
school with Professor Hickman as
Principal, guarantees to the people
of Lebanon and vicinity that edu
cational interests are well looked
after. In addition to the schools
there are three churches, the
Methodist, Cumberland Presbyter
ian and Presbyterian, all in a
prosperous and growing condition.
Lebanon's location.
Lebanon is located on the south
bank of the south fork of the Ban
tiam river, in the very center of
Linn county, which is the finest
grain-growing country in the state.
On the west is the famous Albany
Prairie, good for grain, grass or
fruits. Lebanon is built at an
elevation of about 110 feet above
Albany, which gives it good drain
age. It is at the terminus of the
S. P. It. It. with three trains per
day. We have pure water and
plenty of it, pod schools and
churches. Tho Albany and Banti
am canal taps the Bantiam river
near our town, giving us good water
jM)wcr at the north end of town,
which is owned by a company that
is making arrragements for the
erection of paper mills at this
j)int. This canal also gives us
cheap transportation for wood and
lumber to the citv of Albany, thir
teen miles northwest of here. .
THE EMIGRANT'S l'AUADISE.
Lebanon is the emigrant's para
dise. It is located in a land
famous for its fine agricultural
products of every variety; a land
where grows tlie largest and best
variety i iruns to ic lound in
reaay to put on loot any measure
which is for the welfare of its future
yP way be seen by
l" adl.ncB8 111 ,JJ they pull
ilwr ln competing for any great
lndu8trv- They raised a bonus of
' .: ul,HlBitJ1,J uouu ior a paj)er
mill in two and one-half days, and
they are already reaping the bene
fits of their sacrifice. Although
the paper mill is not yet built, it is
an assured fact that it soon will be,
tor tlie contracting parties are now
,thV VllHt lakin" ,arranPUt
and giving orders to have the nee
essary machinery made. In view
of all of these facts can we do more
than say that the emigrant can do
no better than cast his lot among
us? No; it would be absurd to
think of not doing so. The facts
recorded in this article sre for the
millionaire and for the laboring
man; for the old and for the young;
for the weak and for the strong; for
men with a trade and for the man
without; for everybody and may
they take heed thereto and direct
their feet hither, tho sooner the
better.
ITS INHABITANTS.
There are in the neighborhood of
one thousand inhabitants in our
town at the present time, although
it will no doubt nearly double that
amount during the present year.
there is not a man in town, to the
knowledge .,f the writer, who does
not confidently believe this. And
why should they not? It lias the
position, the wealth and the indus
tries to do ho. The people are
genial, courteous and obliging, and
the best of society may be found
here.

enterprising class to be found in the
valley, and are doing all in their
power to secure goods to the people
at the lowest TKiesiblc prices, and
most any article of apparel, or any
kind of dry goods or groceries can
be had at prices that will compete
with those of any town in Oregon,
and many things are far below, in
price, the towns in her immediate
vicinity. This she owes to the lib
erality of the merchants, who arc
using every honorable means in
their power to secure the surround
ing country trade.
INM'STIUES.
Her industries are numerous and
of various kinds, a few of them
being saw mills, a grist mill, plan
er, furniture shop, hrness and sad
dlery shop, blacksmithing shops,
and many other things too numer
ous to mention.
CONTEMPLATED INDUSTRIES.
The contemplated industries of
our town arc numerous and of dif
ferent kinds, and all of them
worthy of much attention. We
I call especial attention to the paper
miu which will Imj built next
summer, and for which machinery'
is now being made. This industry
will benefit all classes to a greater
extent than anything else we could
get. It employs the laboring men
and scatters $4U(X) per month
among them; increases the value of
real estate very materially; uses all
the straw throughout the country,
thus being a source of revenue to
the farmers, who, every year, burn
thousands of tons of the finest straw
for which thev have no use. Also
a cannery and tannery are much
talked of, though no steps have
been taken to secure them, but they
no doubt will be during the coming
summer.
WATER POWER.
A fine water power is just north
of town and almost within the city
limits. A project is being heralded
to build a water ditch from a Kint
a few miles above town to connect
with the Bantiam Canal, the ditch
to bo called the Lebanon Canal.
