A Letter From W. P. Oeakln, Who
Adviaea People to Stay at Home.
Albany, Or., April 24, 1898.
EMToa LSBAKON KXPRRffi:
I have some bnilhcra who live at
Hall broke, Alberta, Cunnda, and in a
letter to me they sii.v that several
people from Linn county have written
to them asking about the Alberta
country. My brothers write me that
there Is no finer grass found anywhere
and that the land Is of the very best
and millions of acres vacant and the
laws are good, but they advise all who
have money to stay away from there,
for a moneyed man can liud a more
congenial climate tn live iu, and all
who have no money, or but little, are
advised to shun the Alberta as they
would the Sahara desert, for they will
surely stare to death if they don't.-:
Hundreds of people are going to
leave tha country when spring opens
up. There is no work there, or but
little, and tbe wages paid when there
Is work Is from 88 tn $8 and $10 per
month. On the 14tb of this April,
winter was still on, cold, snowy and
freezing weather. They say it will be
a Hue stock country for years to oome,
but as they are so far inland grain will
not pay at ptesent prices.
Respectfully Yours,

Change in Channel, '
The recent high waters have caused
the Willamette river to cut. a new
channel nearly a mile long iu the
vicinitp of tne mouth ef the McKenzie,
says the Eugene Guard. This new
channel is yet full of snags and has
never been navigated. By reason of
the change in tbe river the channel
baa been rendered un navigable and
the steamer Gypsy has not been here
since last Saturday. At that time tbe
water was high enough so the boat
could make the run through Meek's
slough. The river is now at a good
Stage, but owing to tbe lack of a snag
boat to clean out the newly formed
ohannel, boats are unable to get here.
In Darkness,
The Dalles Tinies Motmtaineer says,:
Owing to the failure of the city council
aud tho eleotrie light company to agree
upon a price forfuruisblugstreetlights.
Tbe Dalles has been in darkness since
the first of the month. This Is a con
dit(on to be deplored. After having
onoyed the luxury of street lights for
a number of years the residents of the
oity do not deBire to retrogress, and go
back to the "dark age," as it were.
The city cannot afford 1 1 pay the prices
demanded by the comp tuy and tha&e
prices are the best that ure liable to be
offered. . ... .
8tayton Starch Factory,
The searob for a site for the proposed
starch factory is occupying the atten
tion of Messrs. Lee Brown, E. Sbep-
pard and H. Borchert, a:tiug8sacon.
mittee for tbe branch, exchange, Two
or thee properties suitable for the
buildings of the plant, situated within'
easy access of an abundant water
power, bave been looked over, aud
discussed, but no further action as yet
has been taken. The committee has
asked for further time to decide the
matter. Tbe starch factory is a settled
thing. We are going to have it. One
member made a test and got about 12
pounds of starob from a bushel of
potatoes. In taste and appearance II
is equal to the best. Stayton can
compete with the world iu growing
potatoes. Tbe trust cannot down us
in tbe open market, There la a ready
market for starch at 4o per pound
wholesale. We can pay 25 cents for
potatoes and still leave it good margin.

What a Wild Oat Did,
Dr, Clara M, Davidson had a peculiar
surgical case on band yesterday Irs.
J. W. Carr, living on South mmer-

some canned wild berries, swallow 'd
a wild oat which had been allowed to
remain iu the fruit while it was being
canned. She did not know what the
foreign substance was, but was con
scious that It had lodged iu her throat
causing her great pain and annoyance.
Her effort to dislodge it seemed only
to make tbe matter worse. W ben she
