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 was a very successful seasou for Soda ville. The hotel accommodations are good at this place, the surroundings are delightful, the medicinal properties of the water is beyond question, and anyone seeking health or recreation cannot afford to miss this resort.

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 prices at the One-Price Cash Store and if there Is any reason in you that is the place where you will purchase your iupplies.

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.

Mr. Jackson expects a friend from the East soon, and he was looking at the farming lands in this section, asking prices, etc. 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. Kotice. I have this day sold my general mer chandise business to B. F. Bodwell. who will continue the same at the old stand. All accounts against me should be presented at once for adjustment.

Lert Beunett left for Roseburg Mon day. He tells us that he intends to locate in that city. We heard a business man remark Saturday that business is much more brisk than fermerly. Verv mn our town will look liken suburb of Hong Kong. The Chinese camps are gradually drawing neater. Prof. A.J.

Blanchard and Wm. Smith have in contemplation a visit to the Calapooia mines, provided the weather continues good. . W. O. Smith- not John Smith Is attending court. William has had nn offer for Ids farm below town and will doubtless sell this week. J. M. Howe returned from Portland on Saturday. John has been purchas ing a stock for the new store which he will soon opeu in Eugene. The Women's Aid Society of the M. E. ehurch will give a Thanksgiving dinner, and already a number of fowls are undergoing the fattening process. Dave Dearmond is up the Calapooia establishing the right to a certain rich claim by the erformance of a certain amount of labor as prescribed by law. Work was begun on the new church edifice lant week. When the building is completed the M. E. church, South, will have a neat and well-arranged church. The W. C. T. U. have awakened from a slumbering, comatose state, and promise much valuable service between this and the December election of town officers. A. P. Howe has been tendered the position of section foreman, with head quarters at Brownsville, but he would rather draw the salary of a bridge car penter for a season. W. B. Smith sold his old donation farm last week to a new-comer. Mr. Smith has moved into town, and the next, and by far the best move, will be to the Calapooia mines. Miss Mary Mclutyre, who formerly lived in this place, is visiting friends in town. She spent one week at Wat erloo after leaving her home in Saleui before coming to Brownsville. Ae men are at work all along the line of the O. Ry., there are necessarily acood many strangers in town, but our sanguine friends must not make the mistake of supposing them perma nent residents and conclude that the town is booming. A stray rumor fronl up the Calapooia reports the discovery of some very rich quartz on that stream, but fails to lo cate the point at which it was scruck. It is needlsss to add that N. J. Riee, on hearing tbe report, rose with the lark and hied away in tbe direction of the rising sun. There was a collision on the narrow gauire Saturday. Either W. R. Kirk collided with the traiu or the train ran airainst him, proliahry both were to blame. If blood were" rated as high in this as it is in European countries, we should not hesitate to announce the narrow gauge the victor. Jack & Sanders occupied the store vaeated by Waters Bros., this week. A full line of hardware will be kept bv these eentlenien. A well-stocked hardware store has long been a desid eratum in Brownsville, and we are happy to know that the right men have embarked in this business. 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 county seat. The editor brought with mm a double-barrelled shotgun or the latest pattern, and as no amount of quizzing would induce him to tell what he Intends to snoot with it, we 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 following are a few of the medicines of known reliability, sold by M. A. Miller, druggist of this place.

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 say anythiog about it, aud I 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.

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.
