Profoundly hiipreseed that we, the Farmers' Alliance, united by strong aud faithful tics of fi nancial and home Intercut, nbould set forth our declaration of intention,; we therefore resolve FlBtff To labor for the education of the agri cultural classes in thesclence of economic govern mcnl ilia stricly nuo-partlHiin spirit. BwvrNP To cndirrHc the motto" "In thing, 68 aonlial, unity; and in all thiugn, charity." Titian To develop a Iretter state, mentally, morally, Hoclally, and financially. Ft'ttTii To create a better uiKlerKtandlng for Kustaitdng civil oiliccrs in malutuiuing law and order. Fifth To constantly strive to fiecurc entire har mony and good Mill among alt mauklud, and brotherly love among oursclvc. Hixtii ToHiiiircsN personal. Inenl, wetlonal, and national prejudice, all unuealthful rivalry and Hellish ambition. 8kv knth Tlie brightest Jewels which It gamer, are the tears of widows and orphans, and Its Im perative commands are to visit the home, where lacerated hearts are bloeding; to assuage the auf furtugs uf a brother or slater; bury the dead; e Kaht Lkbakok, Aujruat 3, 1691. Mr. Kditur: The following article was cHiiperl by the Albany Democrat from tlie Now York Voiee uud hashed out ua "Cold Kail, het tiKiiiu" to ita tletnoorutie renders to prejudice them a guinnt the 'urmera' Alliuncc in old Unit County. "The Altiunce, as a political movement ut leaat, iaeertuinlyguing to amush, on this Hiib-treuKury, or tlie achetne itself will go to anuiah. The sumo is true of the People's party. The Western National Alliance has refused to endorse the scheme and the National Grange, has, in an olticial docu ment, denounced it as "unwise and imprac tieable." It is the blindest political folly to persist, tinder tlie circumstances, in pushing such u measure to the front u the test of fealty to tho movement. If the People's Party wants toexhlhlt on act of statesmanlike wisdom, it will "swop olf" the sub-treasury scheme for a prohibi tion plunk in javor of an issue of treasury notes, hnsed on gold and silver bullion, is sued by direct payments for government exponscs, in tlie proportion of J1 in notes to oach $1 of bullion, until there is $50 per capita put in circulation. Voice." Now, Mr. Kditor, I don't know that we stand in need of so much gutuitous udvice either from the Demoorut or the Voice. We think they will have enough to do to "pad dle their own ounoe," between now and tlie next election. There are one thousund saloon men and whiskeyites, five hundred politicians and lawyers, waiting and onx iotifl, with eyes and mouth wide open to give us all kinds of advice free of eluirge. The Orcgouhui, like a big flop-oarod hound, is yelping on our track, and has set a whole pack of little tlcie papers to barking at us like a set of snapping cnyotos. Now then, solicitude for our welfu.ro is a'l well enough when needed, but we don't JuBt need it yet; when we got in a knot-hole like the prohibitionists,, or got loaded down with obnoxious hills and measures, cheat, wrong or defraud the public like tlie demo crats and republicans; thon we will need help to unload and will perhaps call on them. Besides we don't know whether the Harrison administration is going to leave any crumbs for us to cat, the treusury is empty and tho government is wanting to borrow money now to pay its debts) or rather to tho salaries of the othtiuls and to pension agents for ouch and all of the old parties. Kvery man that ever hollowed for the dear old flag and can swear all right, Is now getting a pension, to the disgrace of de cency and honesty. Thedemocrats and republicans have stolen nearly every thing In forty-two Mates, ex cept tlie penitentiaries, and I goes, they would have stolen them, but they wanted them for a homestead by and by, when their evil deeds come to light. Lebanon's honorable Mayor "struck the nail on tlie head," when he said, "the farm ers don't need our advice." We are going to get there Eli, with both feet, "and don't you forget it." My wife says formed "quit writing for the Exprkhb or some of those politicians will have me stealing sheep, or straying off with another woman, or some other devil ment" Now says I, "wife, tbe Alliance folks don't talk about their memders, like the church members of Lebanon, and be sides there Is more honest, old fashioned re ligion in this thing than half the meeting houses, and as for hypocrites, we ha'n't got any. More again, PaoDTjcia. TTH1TCOMB ECHOED. Haying about done. Trout biting vigorously. Mr. Shepherd left for California last week. There are a number of bears running loose here that need corralling and Mr Guy lord and party expect to try their hand. Mr. Boone has a very fine cougar on his ranch that he would like to see some of the brag cougar dogs turned loose after. Mr. Letsinger has such a heavy crop of hay this year that he had hard work curing it on the ground it was inowed off of. More emigrants wante 1 here to clear up this fine bottom land and put it in crops; there is room here for flirty more families. M. E. V. CRABTltKE CKUMBJ. A heavy mist hid the sun all of Monday forenoon, and on Tuesday we had several hard showers. Whether or not it will injure the grain that has been cut reuiaiHit tohe seen. Several threshing outfits were ready to begin Ofticrations, but the rain will delay that kind of work for a day or two. We visited Lebanon last week and enjoy ed meeting many old friends, and making some new ones. While there we went to the pajrer mill, and were greatly pleased with what we saw, and the kindly treat ment we received. Mr Trunk O'Neil led the wuy through the mill, explaining all difficult points, a court esy that was highly appreciated by all of our company. Mrs. Hanrahan, of Lebanon, visited Mrs. G. C. Moon and otlierlricnds here hist week. Misses Luna Crabtree and Vina Prine, of Albany Prairie, visited the family of Marion Crabtree over Sunday. Miss Ora Crabtree was down from Leba non on Monday. Dr. Booth is now attending the family of the late Jasper Crabtree. The mother and three children are quite low, but we hope for better things. Llllie Cvnbtroe, aged 10 years, daughter of the late Jasper Crabtree was burried Mon day ut tlie Franklin Butte Cemetery. A long procession followed her remains to their last resting place, The quivering lips and flowing eyes of ell present told better than words could have done, how dearly she was loved and now sadly she will be missed. The many beautiful flower pieces prepared by loving hands, bear testimony to the fact that we can look through the gloom and darkness of the grave, up to the beauties and brightness of the "Better Things" that have been prepared for the pure and good. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. O. 8. Hanleiter, and his eumest words made a deep Impression on all who heard them. The following named young ladies uctcd as pall bearers : May Griggs, Ivy Churlton, Florence Beard, limiua Pommy, Minnie Cvrus and Emma Hart. 'Crabtree, Aug. 6. 181)1. Mr. George L. Alexander, of the Al liauoe Advance wna up to see tbe friends of former days, Saturday, Sun day Mid Monday. Notice, AU persons knowing themselves to be lu debted to me will please oome foward and settle up. I can't run business without money. Ou and after August first I will sell for cash on tho block (no credit.) -7-lMt. (J. T. Cotton ; Monday, In Portland, the body of George Ogle was found In tho Willam ette about half a mile below the North Pacific Lumbering mills. His clothing was found neatly folded up on the bank of the river. He was a man of much mental capacity, a prominent Metho dist and a cultured man in every way. He was tbe victim of an unhappy mar riage, and had been recently addicted to drink. It la supposed be committed ulclde. He was utterly penniless. It is rumored that achange will soon be made In the Oregon Pacific's time table. By the change one train will start from Yaqulna Bay and run straight through to Green Basin, and the other train will start from the front and ran through to the Bay. By this change the engineer now running to the Bay will have his day's run short ened about 10 miles. AU trains will then noon at Albany. This is from the Ban Francisco Bulle tin, and is good advice to Oregon peo ple also: "Now is the time to be extra careful about fire. Tbe country is as dry as tinder. Two villages have been almost burnt up within a day or two, and minor blazes are reported from va rious parts of tbe state. Fields and forests are in a condition to ignite with half a chance, and are burning lu many places. The number of campers in various localities adds to the danger." Tbe contractor of the canal will com mence work on next Monday, when he will employ a certain amount ef teams and men and as fast as he can open up the work will employ all good men offering. He says he let station work to men that want work that way, and will furnish them tools to do the work. The newly elected clerk of the school land board, Geo. W. Davis, took the oath of office Monday and Immediately took charge of tbe affairs of tbe office. Napoleon Davis, the old clerk, will re main with Davis, the.ew clerk, until he gets familiar with tbe office routine. A large wood pile was set on fire, just this side of Walker's station, either by a passing train or tramps, Sunday afternoou, burning out the ties in the railroad track for quite a distance, and warping the iron rails. When the afternoon local reached that point the employes had a lively time lighting the lire, using two nut cars from CreBwcll to haul water for the puipose. The train succeeded lu getting across tbe break at 7 p. m. Drowned. News of another drown ing in tbe Bantium has reached us. Mr. Reuben Yost, of Sweet Home, was the unfortunate victim, aged about 17 years. He. with a son of Mr. Moran.s aged 10 years, was iu bathing last Sun dayjust above Picken's ford, and un dertaking to wade across the Btreom young Yost finding the water too deep attempted to turn back but in doing so lost his footing and was drowned, The Moran boy ran home and told his father, who made search for the body which was recovered shortly afterward and was hurried at Nye's grave yard. A sister of the unfortunate young man was called home from Salem to attend the funeral. Prof. David Torbett hos rented a house at Albany and will move there about September 1st. The Exprkss is prepared to com pete with Portland or San Francisco iu matter of style and fiulsh in busi ness and visiting cards. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.

Here we are only one-half hour's drive from Sodaville, another country village with a future. During the past year a feud has existed between the two places, similar to the one between Minneapolis and St. Paul, but good will prevails and like those places, we expect to see the two united. We seek to advertise no place simply write that others may go and do like wise, foi here we buve had more pleas ure than we have-experienced for years.

We may very, confidently expert ourt' share of the manufacturing estab lishments that are coining into this country now, for there will be no better point in the valley for cheap power and fuel.
