The people seem to think that elec tric lights are a good tiling just as good for the back streets as for Main street. They seem to think that one or two say two of the light? ou Maiu street could, witli great public benefit, oe transferred one each to some street on either side of Main street. This idea appears to be reasonable. Of course the main street of the city should have the preference; but there is no reason why it should be so abundantly sup pi! td with lights, cross-walks, gravel, etc., while other streets are leflin total darkness, without any street work or sufficient orwsings. Why could not some relief he given these parts of the city? Could not Main street spare two lights? This matter might be profita bly discussed at the couucil. There is a possibility, if not a proba bility, that the $18,000 of Agricultural oollege funds on deposit lu the Job bank at the time of the suspension will be wholly lost. It will be remembered that shortly after the bank passed into the hands of a reoeiver that In order to secure the college claim, an attach ment was placed on the property by treasurer Shipley. It now devclopes that the attachment was irregularly issued. Having neglected the oppor tunity for making proof claim before the assignee, the date for which ex pired Ootober 3rd, if the technicality in the issuance or the attachment is held to be valid, the college will lie without any claim whatever to the funds on deposit when the bank sus pended. The exact amount of these funds is $17,664 and by so much the remaining creditors will be the gainer. Corvallis Times.

There is good reason for this. No other will cure a cold so quickly; no other affords so much relief In cases of whooping cough. F'or sale by M. A. Miller, druggisi . The Best Plaster. Dampen a piece of flannel with Chamlierlain'B Pain Balm and biud it on over the seat of pain It is better tliau any plaster. When the lungs are sore such an ap plication on the chest and another ou the back, between the shoulder blades, will often prevent pneumonia. Tnere is nothing so good for a lame hack or a pain in the side. A sore throat can nearly always be cured in one night by applying a flannel bandage damp ened with Paiu Balm. 50 cent bottles for sale by M. A Miller, druggist. Passed away, in Walla Walla, Wash., Nov. 6, 1893, at the borne of bis daughter, Mrs. J. B. Wilson, J. M. Reed, aged 83 years. He leaves a wife 75 years old, and seven children four sons aud three daughters. He crossed the plains in 1852, from Iowa to Ore gon. Two of bis sons reside in Leba nonJohn and William Reed. Mr. Reed was bora in Tennessee. He was a man of honesty and integrity. He served in the Black Hawk war, as a vol unteer. He settled on a donation land claim five miles this side of Albany, Oregon, and lived there over twenty years; since then he has divided his time with his sons aud daughters. Thus one by one the early pioneers are going to their reward. We are now enjoying the fruits of their hardships aud labors. Io a few more short years there will not be any of them left to tell us about the weary long journey across the plains, with ox teams. Peace be to their ashes. The first contract between the South ern Pacific aud. Wells, Favgo & Co, was In 1866, for fifteen years, the ex press company paying $000,000 of its stock for the facilities acquired. The second contract was for twelve years, from Jail. 1, 1882, to Jan. 1, 1894, for $1,230,000 of the express company's slock. It will be seen "from this' that the express company bos hitherto paid more than $100,000 a year for the priv ileges up to the present time, Under the terms of the new contract Wells, Fargo & Co. pay to the Southern Pa cific Company $1,750,000 of new stock in advance. Tills amounts to only $83,333 a year, so that the franchise would appear to have diminished in stead of Increased in value. This of course is not the case ; but Wells, Fargo & Co. were in a position to make de mauds, and the Southern Pacific is not refusing mouey in ttese bard times. President Huntington admitted that It was a very handsome bargain for the express company,- An Injantloe to Our Citizens. Mb. Editor: I desire space lu your valuable paper, to enter protest against a rank hijustlee to which the good citi zens of Lebanon are subjected. I refer to the question of Insurcnce, There Is in a town In the state, hav ing as good1 safeguards against fire as this town, where the rate is so burden some. We cry out duily against monopolies, railroad corporations, and foreign capital; but none of these utt'ect us so directly as that grasping, soul less corporation,, the Pacific Insurance Union, which, under the guise of pro tecting our homes, robs ns without fear or favor. The history of this Union has been a continuous record of plundering and oppression. Away back at the time when the present hand-engine was bought, we were assured by one Tom Grant, general agent of the Pacific Union, a reduction of rates. Acting under this assurance, the purchase was made; the above mentioned indi vidual acting as agent in the purchase. But were the rates reduced? On the contrary they were steadily advanced. No sooner had our electric light plant become established, than the proprie tors made overtures to our council to put in water-works; and one of the in ducements offered was au assurance of the lowering of fire-rates. To this end a letter was obtained from J. O. Writs man, of the Farmers Merchants Ins. Co., of Albany, that if the proposed system was adopted a lowering of the . rates by 15 or 20 per cent would be guaranteed. The letter was published in the Express in the latter part of ; February of the present year; and un doubtedly had an effect in securing the establishment of our efficient water works. Were the rates lowered? Not so! Tbey still remain from $1.85 ou the hundred dollars, for property lo cated in the brick block, to $7.15 per hundred for those less fortunately situ ated. Now what do we hear? A few weeks ago the Union sends a man here to inspect our town, and he calmly informs us, that if we will incur an ad ditional expense of about $3,000, which means adding that amount to our al ready grinding burden of debt, he might obtain for us a re-rating. As an inducement the rate was increased in a couple of instances which we might name. Now where does the blame rest? The town was saddled witli an indebted ness of some $12,000, as a security against loss by fire. The city pays $448 yearly fur rental of hydrants, as suming that they are of value in case ot tire; but the Union ignores the as sumption and says we must have more hose and longer mains. Perhaps when we have attained the dignity of a paid fire department and let us hope In surance agents will not be connected with it in an official capacity wjtlj electric fire-alarm, engine, truck, and hose enough to encompass the town, we may be able to satisfy the greed of this unsympathetic Union; but until that time we will probably go on pay ing Increasing taxes, water-rates, fire rates, etc. No doubt wo should be able to save money, should we dig up our water works, pipe aud pump, and go back to the primitive bucket-brigade. We could at least save the annual rental of hydrants and the payment of the bonds, In the future It would he a good idea to require the Union to give bond to redeem Its pledges; for If It is not as fully protected by a sys tem of water-works, as any resident of Lebanon, who is? Will some enlightened citizen please shed some light on this vexed question. Veritas, Work on The Side.
