Some Albany men are constructing
a boom on the Santiam just above the
bridge, the object being to prevent a
repetition of the damage done by the
high waters of last spring. By con
fining the river to the main channel
the danger will be averted. j
A reader of the Exprkss wants to
know who built the depot flue at Sclo.
It has been hinted that the flue should
be reversed, as the head is undoubtedly
on the wrong end. It contradicts the
laws of nature; the smoke, instead of
ascending, settles in the waiting room.
Lebanon has her complement of
weather prophets, and as usual their
predictions differ just enough to insure
a variety of weather for the winter I
months. It Is a consolation to modest, !
weather-abiding citizens to know that
a self-constituted weather bureau is not
always reliable. !
A gentleman showed us a specimen
of coal this week from a mine lying
thirty miles east of Lebanon on the
Santiam, which bears a closer retsem
blance to anthracite than anything we
have yet seen. The quality of the coal
and the extent of the vein warrant an
early development.
We are told that the past summer

Two ladies called at this office Mon
day and asked for envelopes, which
would have been given them had they
not with the next breath asked for
stamps. While we would be glad to
share the honors of the postmaster, we
had to acknowledge that w deal in
nothing but cancelled stamps, and they
are mostly of the one-cent denomina
tion. We overheard two business men
talking about Iebanon's future. "Both
of these gentlemen placed our popula
tion, a few years hence, at from five to
seven thousand. One of the gentle
men and by the way he has no inter
ests here that we are aware of placed
the population at 15,000 in the event
that certain conditions are fulfilled,
and thtse conditions are not improba
ble by any means.
J. L. Cowan brought the gold brick
to Lebanon Tuesday, which has been
on exhibition in Albany for several
days. This is only an earnest of what
the Albany mining company will get
out of their mines on the Santiam. If
any of our citizens are afflicted with
sore eyes, cross eyes, or have been
looking through smoked glasses, a look
at the treasure will not hurt you, and
it may possibly confirm you in the fee
lief that the Santiam mines are just
what they have been represented to be
rich.
While in Albany last Saturday F.
M. Rcdfield took us to the new bank
and Mr. Merrill kindly showed us
through the building. The building
is finished throughout with Oregon
wood, combining the ornamental and I
the durable. The architect of this'
building, whoever he may lie, has by i
the happy combination of Oregon tim
bers, demonstrated our superiority over
every State in the matter of building
material. We seriously doubt if there
be another building in the State so
handsomely finished as this one. i
Montague must be preparing for a
bponi, judging by the way he is stock- !
iug up his Mammoth and One-Price i
Cash Stores. By purchasing his goods
in such large quantities he naturally '
geto much lower prices. He guaran-'
tees good goods in all the departments i
of his extensive establishments at
prices that absolutely astonish other ;
merchants in the valley, some of them I
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.
We heard a man say that Union
Hall was so crowded at the last meet-
ing of the Lebanon Literary Society
that he could get no seat. The election
of officers wa held Monday evening,
followed by an interesting program.
The question for discussion read, "Re
solved, that . foreign immigration
should be restricted." The affirmative
were victorious. The question for dis
cussion next Monday evening reads,
"Resolved, that the pulpit affords a
greater field for eloquence than the
bar." The newly-elected officers are
Rev. A. Marcel lus, president; Miss Ada
Miller, secretary; W. C. Peterson,
treasurer.
The One-Price Cash Store has be
come one of the features of Lebanon.
As everything is new and fresh, and the
prices are so much below that charged
in credit-giving establishments, peo
ple who desire to buy their goods
for cash naturally go to the corner,
where they do not have to make up to
the storekeeper for the non-paying cus
tomers who, when they can do so, buy
en credit, and who are constitutionally
opposed to paying for anything. iet

We hope that our people will next
spring make arrangements for bring
ing the health-giving waters of Wat
erloo into Lebanon. The water could
be conveyed by pipe from the spring
at the former place at small cost com
pared with the benefits which would
follow. We are to have a handsome
park and horticultural gardens, and
need only the soda water to make this
one of the most attractive resorts In
the State. Lebanon has made a very
creditable growth this year, but with
the enterprises which have been pro
jected for 1S91 and the possibilities
which are open to us, we expect our
town to make some giant strides the
coming year.

MORTAR AND PAST.
SANTIAM MIXES.
The first clean-up was made by the
Albany mining company last week,
and the result surpassed their expecta
tions. The Herald says that mining
on the Santiam is no longer an experi-
nifuv cjiiciivi iiiut i lit? j m r l oi'i
will msrk a new era in our history,
and that rich mines will be worked
they have already been found from
Southern Oregon to Clackamas on the
north.
While in Albany Saturday, we saw
the gold brick which was taken from
the Albauy compauy's mines as the
result of one day's run on surface ore.
The Albany Milling and Mining Com
pany have demonstrated the fact that
there are gold mines in Linn county,
and that said mines are rich. All
honor to tbe practical business men
belonging to the Albany Mining Co.,
who now propose to follow up their
well-earned success by still greater
achievements. The little mill which
has a daily capacity of six tons -will be
kept at work through the winter at a
profit to the stockholders and will give
Tilace to a large and well-equipped
piahi eariy in tne spring.
CALAPOOIA MINES.
The men who have been at work for
the C. and B. It. M. and M. Co., since
last June, are expected home this
week. The Poorman has been pretty
thoroughly tested by tunnel a distance
of more than 100 feet, and a cross-cut
has been made revealing a flue body of
paying ore sufficiently rich to warrant
the putting in of a m'll early in the
spring. Ever3'tbing points to great
activity in these mines next year.
We received a letter from Superin
tendent Bradley of the Trinity Mining
Company this week, and he makes a
most satisfactory report. The Gold
Dust has been uncovered at a depth of
twelve feet and a tunnel run a short
distance. This is the third opening ou
this ledge, all of which show a fine
body of free-milling ore. The general
tone of the letter betrays some excite
ment, notwithstanding Mr. Bradley
is an old miner. Tne Trinity mines
have now passed the prospective Btage,
and ere many months elapse will be
numbered among Linn county's most
paying industries.

should not hesitate to announce the

Wm. Templeton told us Saturday
that he was negotiating for a forty
acre tract of land adjoining his farm,
and we suppose the trade has been
closed ere this. William is one of
our successful farmers, as he is also one
of our best citizens, notwithstanding
he was defeated for the Legislature
last June.
McDonald ACavender, of the Timet,
spent the latter part of the week in the

suspect he has declared war against
delinquents. .
A Wrong Impression Corrected.
The Albany Democrat says: There
being a number of suits on docket
against the Farmers and Merchants
Insurance Company, and hearing vari
ous rumors concerning the same, our
reporter called at the office of the com
pany and ascertained the following:
The suits are entirely from the East,
the result of "rotten work;" there is
some merit in a few, others have no
merit whatever. The company has
prompnv met its uregon, Washington
aud Idaho losses. The company owes
three losses due in November and De
cember. The company discontinued
its Eastern business by cancelling all
Eastern policies on Sept. 2d and ap
pointed j. J. wnteman secretary and
manager. Since the company's organ
ization it has paid upwards of f 90,000
nre losses, lhls company, like all i
honorably conducted companies,
promptly meets its legitimate obliga
tions, but most positively declines to
pay "straw" losses and liabilities of
such character. Among the stock
holders are the best citizens of Linn
county and other parts of the State.
Ihe largest shareholders being Albany
men, it is the determination of these
gentlemen to make the company one
of the strong financial institutions or
the city.
"la this the best?" Is a question often
asked, when medicine is wanted. The

CHICKEN BRISTLE.
What a great thing it Is to be great.
I never fully realized what a grand
and stupendous article greatness wits
till last Wednesday. I had read of one
Alexander the Great and Napoleon
Bonupnrtc, men who had ruled the
destinies of empires and held withiu
their grasp the fate of nations; I had
heard of Vanderbilt and Jay Gauld,
whose great railways reach from the
Atlantic to the Pacific; I had once
looked through the cracks of a fence
and saw a newly-appointed postmaster
puss by clothed In power aud greatness
and an old linen duster; I have stood
face to face with the living skeleton,
of the man that married his mother-in-law;
but never till J reached Rabbit
City, on the harrow gauge railroad, did
l have a full conception of what human
greatness is. The sun was just setting
in a flood of molten gold as I reached
the city of Rabbit, and one-legged
chickens. The agent had- long since
gone where the woodbine twineth,
unable to stand the pressure of the new
regulations. Taking from my ham
pocket a pale-red handorchief, I waved
it in the face of the coming train. My
signal was ' answered by one of the
tnoKt unearthly yells that ever belched
from the throat of a steam whistle,
and as the Westignhouse air brakes
were applied, ehe slid into the station
alongside of a magnificent wood-pile,
which, for beauty of architecture, con
fers great credit upon its builder. We
were met at the door by one of the
officials of the road and conducted into
one of the fine palace cars of which
tbe train was made up. Thecarwasa
mcdei of beauty, being furnished with
everything that wealth and the most
exquisite taste could suggest. The
seats were upholstered iu imported
roods made froni the hair of the Sir
William Goat, vulgarly called the Billj'
Goat, captured in the Forks of tha San
tiam. Dropping into the only vacant seat,
I gazed timidly around me, and, in a
low voice, I asked who run the road.
Up went the hands of the nearest
brakeman, and giving me a look that
niic,ht have killed a stronger man than
I, he whispered, "Vhare you? Where
have you been? Don't you ever read?
Can it be possible? Here, boys," he
yelled, "come here. This beiug don't
know who runs this road." As the
couductor came up he said, "Great
cott." Then I wondered what Scott
it was. I knew that Gen. Win field
Scott had long ago gone to a country
where narrow gauge railroads are never
run. Looking up at the conductor
with one of my blandest smiles, I asked
who the deuce this Scott is, auyhow.
Patient reader, those words uearly cost
me my life. With a yell that would
have made a Modoc brave turn pale
with envy, the train men drew their
pistols, and as I threw up my little
hands, I told them I was uo train rob
ber, but would like to know what this
gentle racket meant.
"Wretched man," said the boss of
the rad, as a wave of pity ewept
athwart his handsome face, "don't you
know that you are riding on a great
trunk line, whose anaconda length
permits its head to rest at Ray's Land
ing, while its tail flops around in the
city of Coburg? Ignorant creature!"
he cried, ''don't you know that the
Receiver of this grand trunk line is
the greatest railroad monarch of this
or auy other age? He it is who framed
the new regulations. It was his active
and massive brain that conceived and
put into practice the celebrated nine
hour system. Under this system we,
the vassals of King Scott, work nine
hours in the forenoon and nine in the
afternoon. That is why we work for
one-half what we used to get."
With tears in my e3-es 1 begged for
mercy and told them I wouiu never

will.
Last Sunday we had the pleasure cf
taking diuuer at the St. Charles hotel.
The dining room was a model of neat
ness and the tables were loaded with
viands that would have tickled the
palate of an epicure. Mr. Doud and
his estimable lady are doing all in
their power to make their guests com
fortable and happy.
I wonder who the black-eyed young
lady was that broke the hearts of the
two fair-haired boys from Chicken
Bristle at Briggs' photo gallery on
Monday last.
The kind lady whoscnt us such good
advice through the mail will please
accept our heartfelt thajiks, ana may
tbe God that rules our destinies help
me to profit by those kind words that
will linger in my memory until I cxms
the dark river. Muy the lire of the
writer of those words lie as pure and
spotless as the canopy of heaven; may
her pathway tlnouuh life be lined ou
either side by the most leautiful flow
ers that bloom; and wheu she is called
to cross the river into that mysterious
wonderland, may the angels aud arch
angels, with outstretched arras, wel
come her to that golden shore where
her fairy feet can run and never tire.

Gentlemen: Altho' it is very unusual
for me to use any lotions or
washes, still, in answer - to your
request, I have tried Wisdom's
Violet Cream aud Robert ine. The
former I consider especially efficacious
in cases of roughness of the skin, and
I have been using it every day for the
last fortnight. I have found the
Roliertine an excellent preparation in
cjsees of tan, sunburn, etc., caused by
exposure to March winds and a July
sun. Yours faithfully,

HINTS ON COCKTSniP.
There are a great many pretty stories
in print some of them true about
men who did tiieir courting and pro
posing in a single day, and never had
cause to regret it. George Washington
was one of these lucky men. It may
be safe for you to go aud do likewise,
If you are absolutely sure that you are
as smurt as the "Father ef his Coun
try," but before you take tbe risk, it
would be well to remember that some
men, almost as well known as tbe im
mortal Washington, acted as hastily as
Gcrge and repented at leisure; and
oftentimes the women suffered as much
as the mi-n. If you feel that you must
make love frantically and in baste,
there are Impulsive young wouieu who
will gladly meet you half way and
take the responsibility of their half
the courtship. Avoid the selection of
a girl who is not exactly the kind you
would prefer, merely because you don't
happen to know a better. After you
are really in love, there is but oue girl
in the world who will suit you, but be
fore that blitwful eriod, there are at
least a miliiou, and if you are not man
enough to seek until you find the right
one, you may be sure you are not
worthy of her. Set yourself firmly
against the puppy-love theory, that
affection should begin with hugs and
kisses, lbs girl who allows you to
begin that way is too likely to let other
felToms be equally affectionate when
you are not around. Don't forget that
a girl's lips and cheeks are her wn,
and that you have no right to them
until you have fairly earned them.
Don't stop to make her your idol be
fore you have made her your friend;
putting the car? before the horse is
never a greateroblunder than when in
love. If you want to make an Idol of
a woman, the materials should be of
something that will stand the wear
and tear of life; so look for it in her
character instead of her curls, her ideas
instead of her eyes. Don't be -in a
hurry merely because you are afraid
some other fellow will supplant you iu
her affections If you don't speak
auickly. Women are possessed of con
siderable strategy, aud your girl is sure
to turn it to account if possible and
make you believe that you are about
the twentieth man who lias sought her
hand and heart. Don't mistake pas
sion for love and then imagine tbe girl
indifferent because she is uot careles!-.
Any man can rave wildly if he will
oyer a pretty girl whom he never
saw up till an hour before; but as here
tofore remarked, dogs and cats have
the same quality and more of it. Don't
lie in too mti-h of a hurry for the bliss
to begin; Miss, like apples, should be
thoroughly ripened liefore tasting. If
you find yourself impatient, as you
probably will, just step aside for awhile
and call yourself ail sorts of names,
for be sure that that is what everybody
else thinks of you. The bliss will
come quite soon enough, as soon as you
deserve It, generally a long time be
fore. Oue good and sufficient reason
for going flow Is, that if you don't the
girl probably will, and as she has the
final say In the matter you will have
wasted your energy for nothing and be
made very uncomfortable besides.
