Say, you firemen, if a flre should oc cur in our town, are you ready to battle with the flames? tev. J. It. Kirkpatrick will preach at the C P. church next Sunday morn ing and evening. Remember you ean get a hot or cold bath any day in the week at I. K. Bo rum's barber shop. J. M. Brown sold his residence property this week and will build another right away. We will send the Express on trial from Sept. 1st to Jan. 1, 1891, four mouths, for 50 cents. It is remarked by everyone that Lebanon is improving-, and the verdict is accepted by us as true. The large crop of melons in this vi- Tiuity has reduced the price of this commodity considerably. Julius Hyde, Harvey Cross and Mr. Bpringer run the steam pump at the paper mill flay and night. Stephen gets a lot of melons occa sionally, but they dissolve like ice in the presence of a noonday sun. Peterson & Wallace have a curious device in their real estate office on which tbey cut and dry trades. Furniture,' upholstered goods and hardware at Barbour Bros, in Lebanon.

It is expected that several teams will be set to work soon hauling ore from the paint mine to Lebanou to be man ufactured into paint this winter. Surveyor Warner, of Albany, came up Wedesday to do some more work in our town. It seems to us that he would do well to locate in Lebanon. We guarantee our machine oils to contain no cotton seed nor fish oils; but pure machine oil. Orttsos & Mexzies. Married, at the residence of the bride's father in Waterloo, Sept. 3, by Itev. A.

Ames of Sweet Home was in town this week making some invest ments. Like a wise man, he concluded to buy some real estate and build a house. . The A. O. TJ. W. have changed some what their method of doing business. Assessments are published in a paper endorsed by the order instead of on cards as heretofore. . , . Hop picking began in these parts Wednesday. The crop is good, prices are satisfactory and the country will be made much richer by the cultivation of the hop vine. The Lebanon Express ran over the narrow gauge last week at the junc tion, cutting it in two, and the conse quence is that there is but one daily train on the O. Railway. , Drs. W. H. Davis and C. C. Kelly of Albany and Dr. W. C. Negus of Leba " non have been- appointed an" examin ing board of surgeons for pension ap plicants for Linn county.. - The Brownsville Times credited us with a large family of. children two weeks a-ro, whereas, we have nut one child.

They pay. forty cents for ats ami1 sixty-foar ueuttrfur whejtt. : We thank the Hon. John B. Slater fur his complimentary remark about the Express. We appreciate . the compliment, but modesty frobids our giviug it to the public. TIm carpenters have finished their part of the work on John Beard's cot tage. As soon as the building ia plas tered and painted John will change Ins residence to . the west side of the street. ' t The bartaring.chafTVring spirit which Is a lnirliiifl" r.i-air. nfttio Totv Kmy1rtiiiiiir seems to have entered into several of our citizens, ana they can arlve a bar gain with all the adroitness ot a genu ine Yankee. As we were coming home on the Lebanon train Mondav, the break rod on therear car dropped and made such a noise aud tore up the gravel at sueh a rate that we thought Ed. was run ning a gravel train . The members of the M. E. church will give a reception to their pastor, Rev. Boyd, at the residence of W. Menjr.ies Friday evening. Sept 51 h, from 7:?.G until 10, p st. The public are cordially invited to attend. The Lebanon Cornet Band opened a serenade on the city at an hour of quiet, when our people had retired for the evening. The sweet strains were continued until a late hour, much to the satisfaction of a music-loving com munity. Thai sour-tempered, cross, dyspeptic individual, should take Dr. J. H. Mc Lean's Sarsaparilla. It will make him feel as well and hearty as the healthiest of us. He needs braving up, vitalizing, that is all.

McLean's Volcanic Oil Liniment has for many years been the constant favorite remedy. For sale by Beard & Holt. Mr. Michener, who is engaged to teach the Halsey school, went into the mountains Monday armed with r Winchester and encircled with a belt of cartridges. He has declared war against every species of game known to the Cascade mouutains. Plainview does not propose to wait until the railroad is widened before boom in r. Three houses will be built soon. There is now a blacksmith shop in town and there are other indi cations of prosperity. Crops in this section of country are said to be very It la a requirement of the postofflce department that the stamp snail oe placed upon the upper right-hand cor ner of the envelope, tins is ror con venience in canceling. If a letter is not stamped in this way, the postmaster has a right to send it to the dead letter office. We have not learned whether the O. Railway will be built through our town in fact we have not heard the matter mentioned for some time. The grade is being widened rapidly be tween this point and Portland"! and whatever is done will have to be done quickly. Married, at the residence of the bride's parents in Lehanon, Sept. 3, by Rev.

Lebanon had a distinguished visitor last Friday in the person of Capt. Connor. The Captain headed an expedition that was sent to Africa in search of Stanley when it was thought that the great explorer was lost. He was sent far up into northern latitudes at a late date, and is a man who has seen a good deal of the world. Claud Reed and Charles Waters, two painters, left for parts unknown last week. They had engaged to paint the school building at this place and the Presbyterian church at Albany, re ceiving from the above-named sources S306. Of course the material was not paid for, which tbev had bought, of Price S Kobson, and these painters can well afford to go on an excursion. A new-comer from one of the storm ridden States of the West reached Oregon last year and purchased land near Salem on which was a nice young orchard. He was in town the other day, complaining of the country. He said he would "as lief live in a cyclone country as in a eouutry where the trees broke down under the loads of fruit." He is surely to be pitied. Salem States man. The social given by the W. R. C. last Friday evening was a very pleasant affair. It is said to havedrawn together a larger crowd than ever was seen on any simlar occasion. It was said by F. M. Miller in his speech, that the object in giving these socials is to build a hall for the use of the organzation. No one wishing to pass the evenings pleasantly, can afford to miss these social gatherings. Prof. D. Torbet, our new principal of Santiam Aeademv, comes well recom mended from the various schools where he has taught. These recommenda tion were cheerfully given by both school boards and pupils, and all testify to ripeness of scholarship and an envi able faculty in the management of schools. The Academy M ill doubtless take a new lease of life under bo ef ficient a management. , Several men and teams are at work this week clearing the ground for Kirkpatrick's horticultural park. Anyone unacquainted with the plans and details of this individual enterprise can have but a faint conception of the undertaking. We venture to say, however, that Isebella Horticultural Park when completed will be an ornament to the place and will rank second to few parks in the State. Wanamaker's new red stamps have been the occasion of a good deal of fault-finding among connoiseurs. It is claimed that they fade, are imper fectly perforated, and that the paper is of a poor quality; but we have never heard anyoue say that they would not stick and that they Vere not good for their face at any first-class postofflce. Really, tho two latter qualities should recommend them to all lovers of the epistolary art. We acknowledgethe receipt of a com plimentary ticket of admission to the North Pacific Industrial Exposition to be held in Portland from September 25 to October 25, 1890. The exposition was exceptionally fine .. last year -and promises a. greater success this year. It wilt be an attraction that will draw a great many people to the metropolis of Oregon agaiu this year. The managers are making great preparations for on of the finest expositions ever held on the i'uci&c coast Mr. Hale returned from Portland Tuesday, bringing with him some quartz from Idado's mines. We com pared the spcimvus with some we have ftoiu tho Calapooia, Blue River and Santiam districts and find that we have richer mines at our own door; stlU. some people cannot appreacliite a -rood thing unless they pay well for it. If the mines in the above named dis trict necessitated a long journey by pack train and a considerable outlay of money their value would be increased ten-fold. A Pendleton young man who is in love with a young lady in a neighbor ing town went out to see her last week, but one day's visit tired .hor and she tried to escape on horseback. He first, pulled her oil' the horse, but she got away and he followed her across the country in his buggy. The young man was finally drlvou oil by a friend with a Bhotgun. Oregoniau. Right this way for constancy. The Lebanon youngman would have stayed with her till it thundered aud the dogs howled. Montague must be preparing for a boom, judging by the way he is slock ing up his Mammoth and One-Price Cash Stores, liy purchasing his goods in such large quantities he naturally gets much lower prices. He guaran tees good -roods in all the departments of his extensive establishments at prices that absolutely astonish other merchants In the valley, some of them going so far as to say that Montague retails his goods as low as they buy them at wholesale. The careful buyer Invariably goes to Montague's. Tho One-Price -Cash Store has be come one of the features of Lehanon. As everything is new and fresh, and the prices are so much below that char-red in eretut-giving establishment)-, peo ple who desire to buy their goods foV cash naturally go to the corner, when they do not have to make up to the storekeeper for the non-paying cus tomers who, when they can do so, buy on credit, aod who are'eonstitutionally opposed to paying for anything. Get prices at the One-Price Cash Store and if there is any reason In you that is the place where you yvill purchase your supplies. Machinery made and repaired at the Lebanon machine shop. We have nothing but the best machinery, it is managed by practical machinists and consequently we can repair steam en gines, boilers, saw mills, prist mills windmills, quartz mills, plauiug mills, chop milts, mud mills, rock mills cof fee mills, shingle mills, bark mills and paint mills. In short we can make or repair anything that has wheels and wears belt Inn. We also keep on band lace leather, ru biter packing, hemp packing and brass goods. You can take them a skeleton of an engine, a thresher or any kind of machine and they will put it in run ning order on short notice. DOBKINS OSBORNE. Can anyone give a -rood reason for not dig-ring the Cheadle ditch? About three months since we were informed that the neccessary tock (?''0,0()0) had been sultei-ribed and that engineers yvould Be on the ground forthwith. Either our Informant was wrongorour sight is failing. This week we have heard the scheme discussed in a minor key and it is to be hoped that our people will take hold of th'. matter In earnest. Enterprises are springing up that make us proud of our record thus far, aud now if we only bad the additional water power which this ditch would afford, industries would multiply on every hand. There is no doubt but that the ditch will be dug some time, and the sooner it is done the sooner will we enjoy an enviable rank as a manufac- jturing town. I We were shown a lone- letter from a Dakot-,man last weekin which the writer, after bewailing thelijrht crops for the past few years, describes a S3 3 tem of irrigation as practiced in his section of country, and asks our opin ion in regard to this aitiftcial mode of raising corn, wheat and potatoes. Wit'i no intention of being rude or uncivil, we will say that we know nothing whatever about irrigatl in beyond sprinkling a few house plants, and we hope that we shall never live In a coun try that will compel an increase of knoyvledge in this respect. We have been fortunate enough to live in a country where the "early and latter rains" come with the regularity of the tid-.-s, and where the kind heavens pre side over a system of irrigation that is both natural and satisfactory. Rev. H. L. Chapman, pastor of -the M. E. Church Johnstown, Pa., savs: "Soon after the great flood, at a time when diarrhoea was quit prevalent, 1 received a box of six dozen Chamber lain's (-holio, Cholera and Diarruoe Remedy. As soon as it became known that I had the medicine for free distri bution, there liegan a jrreat run on it, which continued until it was about all gone. Every one, so far as I beard from them, testified to Its virtues de claring It the best medicine tor the pur pose they had ever used. Those who got it shared It around with their neighbors, so that I am confident it was productive of great good. We used some of it ourselves and found it not only an excellent medicine for diarrhoea, but for all kinds of pain and uneasiness in the stomach and bowels. It has been regarded as the best medicine known here for the di seases it is recommended. For sale bv M. A. Miller. . If you wish to regale your olfactories with something more delightful than "Jockey Club" or the scent of roses, fire the ancient earbage of some back yard. Such a fire occurred in a paral lel of latitude that just bisects our sanctum and separates the right and left nostrils, last week; and anyone hayiug the least knowledge f geogra phy knoyvs that this was a trespass. Ve remonstrated against such whole souled generosity on the part of the fumi!rator, but remonstrance only added weight and variety to the fumes which redoled upon "the desert air" all the fragrance of the poet Gray's fa vorite blossom. Had we been infected with smallpox or yellow fever we should hsve borne the fumigation with the patience and fortitude of a martyr, but we were not thus infected. We k now of but one condit ion under wh Ich the law would tolerate this atmospheric alloy, and that condition is known only to the buckskin tanner. The smoke occurred ten days ago, and since then we have received letters from boards of health in four adjoining States inquiring about the progress of smallpox .in Lebanon. Ir we could have bartered our fifth sense for a second-class ticket on some pack train, we would to-day be breathing the at mosphere in an altitude hif-ji above, all chip-pile, chicken-feather and boot-leg fumes. Say, if you must cremate whole acres of rubbish under our nose, be kind enough in the future to give us at least twenty-four hours' notice, that we may be prepared to make some sort of defense. DIED. Died, Aug. 27, little Minnie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Nickerson. The following lines yvere handed in by one who loved her: BarliDj- Minnie has gone and left ns. She has joined t he heavenly band. Gone to dwell among the Augeia Iu that far-off heavenly land. How we loved our darlintr baby, And how sad it was to part With our darlins little Minnie. The dear loved one of our hearts. Yet we must be submissive To what the anirel of God has done; He has coine in all his wisdom And taken our darling baby home. . . . Yes, she's jrone to heaven above.

RECEPTION TO PROF. TOKBET. A reception was given Prof. David Torbet, the new principal of Santiam Academy, Wednesday evening. The reception parly met at the residence of Jos. Elkins and marched In a body to the Academy.headed by Col. C. li. Mon tague. After the formal introduction of the larjce crowd and the usual grat ulatory exercises, Intieh was served, in which all indulged most heartily. F lowing the repast the company were entertained by some choice music, and a general social time was had. Col. C. B. Montague, chairman of the board of trustees f the Academy, extended a cordial welcome to the Professor and his estimable family. The Colonel stated the objects of this institution and its prospects for the future. He briefly reviewed the history of the school, and pointed with pride to the scores of men and women of more or less distinction whose names were in timately associated with Santiam Academy. Prof. Torbet, iu his reply to the address of welcome, briefly re vieyved his yvork in the past and spoke of his hoes for the future. He showed the importance of higher education, and briefly outlined the work which he prop-toes to do. It yvas ascertained at the close of the exercises that there were present representatives from four teen States and one foreign country, viz: Oregon, 13; Ohio (native State of the Professor and family), 7; New Jer sey, 1; Minnesota, 1; New York, 2; loyva, 3; Missouri, 1; Pennsylvania, 1; Nebraska, 1; .Virginia, 2; Indiana, 3; Washington, 2; California, 1; Scot land, 1. White Sulphur Springs. Sometime during the past three months'! some springs were discovered on land belonging to George" Frost, living some six miles east of Scio on Thomas creek, that upon examination proved to be etronjrly impregnated with sulphur. Last Sunday afternoon, by iuvitation of P.O.Smith we ac companied him on a visit to them. We found several springs, from two of yvhich the water was flowing freely. One of these tasted very strong of sulphur. Several persons who have drank of the waters of the white sulphur springs at Ashland, say this Is equally as good a spring, and that the water Is as strong of sulphur. Who knows but what we are to have a great summer resort near us one of these days. If the owner would erect a fine hotel and bath houses, and charge four or five dollars a day board, rich invalids would probably think Its waters un surpassed in health-restoring qualities. And they might be right, too, for it is thought thatthesespriogsare a specific for blood and cutaneous diseases. Scio Press.

While passing the Royal saloon a few evenings since, we noticed the pro prietor had placed a couple of new doors in position. Our duty ns a neyvs- puper coi respondent required that we should note all improvements, but hav ing rend so much In the papeis about the character of saloons and their de moralizing effect, we hesitated about entering the place; but duty out weighed all other considerations. We resolved to do that duty or fall by the wayside. But we were not going on such a dangerous mission unprepared. If any desperado of tho Wild Bill stripe should attempt to force us to drink at the muzzle of a pistol, we did'itt propose that he should get the drop ou us. Accordingly we proceeded to load our pistol, which, by the way, Is an old-timer of large calibre. First we put in a handful of blasting powder, on top of which we rammed a half sheetof the "Fire and Hammer." This would enable us to get religion enough into a desperado to limber him up and make him soft and pliable and mors susceptible to impressions. At this jtolnt we discovered that wo were out of bullets, and for want of something better, we put in four shirt buttons, two copper rivets and several small screws. We were now prepared to make a cowboy think that he had woke up a full-grown button factory. So we proceeded on our way to the saloon. Upon reaching the door yve paused a moment, and the terrible words over Dante's Inferno came flash ing through our minds ("he who en ters here leaves hope behind"); but duty urged us on. So leaving Hope behind and the sturup of one of Mox- ley's 5-cent. cigars, we examined our pistol to make sure that the buttons and screws had not fallen out, we pushed the door open nnd boldly entered. The conversation ceased for a mo ment, but was immediately resumed by Wrestletown Pete, who was telling Skinney how ho traded a black dog and an old saddle to the man on the hop ranch for a sack of plums and an order on the drug store for a bottle of liver regulator. Smoke House Mike was trying to convince the June Bug that the west aide of the new bridge run exactly through the center of Jo, Sawyer's kitchen. Near the door were two Calapooia miners who had busted "King Solomon," scandalized "Queen Sheba," had no 'Confidence'' in the "Narrow Gauge" or the "Flying Dutchman." One of them remarked that if "Paddy Ryan's" " Yellow Jacket " would lit the "Times," that "Jumbo's" "Ijtst Chance" would make a devilish 'Toor Man" of "Red Cloud." The other replied that the "Golden Era" would come on "Big Monday," and then we could raise the "Royal Standard" and the "Union Jack" in "Brownsville" on the anni versary of the battle of "Lexington." We wish to say that we do not under stand mines, so the readers must figure out the aliove to suit themselves. The dude was sitting behind the stove arrayed In all the splendor of a second-hand clothing store, his coun tenance denoting that keen intelli gene of the average monkey wrench, while the scornful curve of" his lip plainly 'ihowed his contempt for a couple of young bloods who were saw ing off a game of billiards in an oppo site ebrner. Bob Ingersoll was discuss ing the probabilities of a future life with a noted backslider, and old Ca lamity was trying to get In a word edgeways. Mr. Hansard was seated ia an easy chair reading a book on the title page of which was printed in large letters, "Tahnnge on Temperance," while two deceitful married men were planning how to fool their wives when they got home. One of them proposed to go to bed Immediately and play sick. The other declared that there, would be a row when he got home. He said he could feel it in his bones. At this xtoint we looked around f.;r the desperado, but failed to find him, and for two mortal hours did we sit ou a hard bench with our index finger in that measly pistol, holding these Infernal screws and waiting for au op portunity to turn a cowboy into an animated screw factory. There didn't seem pugnacity enough In the whole gang to lick a lame Chinaman, and here we had beeu laying Daniel in the lion's den for two hours. Daniel was 011 hand, but nary a lion showed his nose. In conclusion we yvould say that yve would like to get someone to tire that pistol off. We are afraid that when that "Fire nnd Hammer" that yve used for wad tecomingoutitwill get cranky and raise the devil. Nemo. Brownsville, Aug. 22. A Gallant Deed. Thursday as Ev. Bilyeu yvas drlviog In the neighborhood of Providence church, he met a four-hot se team .run niugawav. In the wagon yvas a woman and child, the woman being so fright ened that she made no effort to stop the team. Mr; Bilyeu is a man evidently of quick thought and uction; for in'a less space of time than you are reading this Item he yvlieeled his own team out of the road, tied them up and wai ready to jump into the runaway wagon as it passed him. Shortly before the team reached him one of the wheel horses jumped Into the lead bars, Which slacked their speed somewhat and Mr. Bilyeu was thus enabled to get Into the wagon. The team belonged to a man by the name of King, who, seeing a brood of young grouse by the roadside, had stopped the team, tying the lines to the brake rod, and commenced throwing stones nt the grouse. The team became frightened and started. They were pretty badly scared, as it required a mile in distance for Mr. Bilyeu to stop them In. The owner of the team whs very grateful to Mr. Bilyeu for his timely aid, and expressed his yvillingness to pay most any price for the service. Scio Press. .' Notice to Tax-piyer.
