rape. Robbius at first plead not guilty,
but, when the special venire of jury
men and all the witnesses had been
gathered, aud tbe case was ready for
trial, Robbius changed his plea lo one
of guilty, and took sentence. Last
spring, at Baker City, Judge Eakln
sentenced a man for the same crime to
years in the penitentiary. In that
case the prisoner stood trial, aud the
sentenoe, as usual, was more severe
than when a plea of guilty is entered.
Bobbins is 42 years of age. Should he
serve his sentence out, he will be 77
years old when liberated.
Our Climate.
Occasionally we hear people com
plain of our rainy weather, and one
sometimes would think to hear some
talk that we had nothing else but rain
aud mud here. This is a long ways
from the fact. Figures speak aud they
Bpeak well for this part of the world.
The average number of clear days In
Linn county is 118, partly cloudy 105,
a total of 223 fine days; cloudy 142;
those on which .01 inch or more of
rain falls 119. That is, we have 246
days In a year witb practically no rain.
This Is the average for a good many
years aud is the fact and not an im
pression received after a siege of wet
days. Our average rainfall is 44.94
inches and we need that much. Any
country does. If it doesn't get it look
eut for crop failures every three or
four years. In comparison wilh tbe
figures given it ralua on 127 days at
N. Y. City, on 134 at Boston, 165 at
Rochester, N. Y , 148 at Detroit. Some
of the places where It rains- less are
Los Augeles, with only 42 days in tbe
year, Sacramento, 66; Denver 84. Our
average temperature is 52. The lowest
is given at 1 and highest 103. The
mean temperature of San Antonio,
Texas is 68, of Los Augeles 63, of Sac
ramento 60. The average yearly sun
shine in England, according to recent
work by Dr. Van Bebbier on meteor
ology and hygiene, is 1400 hours; in
Germany, 1700; In Italy, 2300, and In
Spain, 3000. London aveiages 23
hours of sunahlne out of a possible 100,
and Madrid 66. So we will see that
Linu county is pretty well situated in
the matter of climate, when tbe actual
figarea ar Ivd.

AD&OLUTELY PURE
THE SALMON CANNER3.
A Gigantic Combine on the Columbia
River on Foot.
A gijantlo salmon combine, to take
every interest ou the Columbia river
into one corporation, and backed by
unlimited capital, will very probably
be the unloosed for result of the pres
ent strike of tbe 3,000 fishermen who
want more for fishing than tbe packers
claim to be able to pay.
The prospects are that the Columbia
River Packers' Association, which was
formed in Portland last spring, Is to he
followtd by a strouger concern a
single corporation which shall be so
firmly entrenched as to command a
vast influence in the salmon Industry,
and which will dictate and not be dic
tated to. It will be modeled after the
Alaska Packing Company, and it will
absorb all the big and little Interests,
consolidating them into one enormous
plant aud do business ou an unprece
dented soale.
The salmon-packing combine is not
undreamed-of possibility by any means
and the scheme is ripening for con
summation. One or the wealthiest
cannerson the Columbia declares that
tbe strike has hastened this end. The
oannerymeu are being driven into the
consolidation for protection of their
interests not only from the fishermen,
but from tbe mischievous state legisla
ture, aud by next autumn it is confi
dently believed no matter what bo
comes of this year's fishing that the
combine will be organized and tbe
eomoiidation effected. Tbe plan lias
been on foot for some time.
The Youngest Members.
A Salem correspondent writes to the
Oregouian lo inquire "the name and
age of the youngest members of the
bouse aud senate of Oregon for the
past four sessions," Unfortunately,
there are no records from which to
establish a certain reply. Representa
tive Wilkluson, of Lane county was
supposed to be the youngest member
of the session of 1893. Senator John
sou, of Linn county, who was born in
1867, was undoubtedly the youngest
senator of the 1895 session, and will
likely have the same distinction in
in 1897. Representative Jeffrey, the
populist "boy orator," was supposed to
be the yougest member ot the house of
1895, having been born in 1869, but the
"blue book" informs us that Repre
sentative George Rinearson was only
24 years old In 1895, so he was the
youngest. Representative John Grntke
is said to be youngest member-elect of
the bouse. He bails from Clatsop
county, aud his age is about 23.
More Albany Butter,
The Albany Creamery had not quite
filled their Seattle order for 12,000 lbs.
of butter, when another order cuiiio iu
from Portland for 16,000 lbs to be de
livered just as fast as it can be made.
It is probable that this last order is to
be placed in cold storage to await
higher prices, Whenever a sample lot
of Albany butter has been sent, the
company have received orders Im
mediately, and they have yet to lose a
customer on account of the quality of
their product, There is not an institu
tion on the coast that has a better
reputation, and it surprises us that
this has been brought about in such a
short space ot time.
A Clubbing Offer.
A great many of our readers in Liuu
county like to take the Weekly Oregon
Ian. We have made arrangements
whereby we can furnish It at a reduc
tion from tbe regular price to those
who want both tbe Express and the

subscriber. The Oregouian gives all
(lie general news of the country once a
week, aud the Express gives all the
local news once a week, which will
make a most excellent neas service
for the moderate sum of 2, per year.
Those who are at present subscribers
f the Express must pay in all arrear
ages and one year lu advance to obtain
this speoial print.

A HANDSOME MONUMENT,
The Finest Piece of Work Yet Seen In
dregon.
A telegram in Sunday's Oregonian
from Sherdiau, Or., dated, June U,
says: The children of tbe late P. M.
and Sarah E. Scrnggln, of this city,
have erected to the memory of their
parents, In the family burying ground,
near Sheridan, one or the finest monu
ments In Oregon, aud perhaps the
largest In the state south or Portland.
It is a beautiful design, consisting of .
three bases, upon which stauds a mas
sive die with polished columns and
beautifully curved capitals. Over thU
is a cap bearing the Masonic emblems. -Upon
Ibis-tests tbe pliuth, the whole
surmounted by a draped Egyptian urn,
with a finely carved reatb of oak and
lauiel leaves. Tne monument Is 18
feet high, and the base is six feet
square. The whole is of Quincy
granite.
The late Mr. Scroggin was a well
known pioneer citizen of Yamhill
county, and was the senior member of
the banking firm of Scroggin & Wort
mau. The cost of tbe monument was
about $2500. It is a beautiful and per
fect piece of monumental work. It
was erected by the well-known firm of
E. W. Atchison & Co., of Albany. Or.
Bunco Methods Didn't Work.
'As we ,ioted in a recent issue, some
San Francisco commission dealers at
tempted to fleece Mr. J. F. Nixon of
this place, by bunco methods, out of.
H considerable Bum of money and upon
failure to do so caused his arrest, and
by false representations from them he
was held iu heavy bonds to apiiear be
fore the grand jury of Lane county.
This week the oase came before that
grand juiy, with these commission
men as presenting witnesses. The
facts were brought out witb the result
of exonerating Mr. Nixon aud leaving
his character as a straightforward
business man without a blemish.
While this case has been very expen
sive aud annoying to Mr. Nixon, it
will be of unlimited benefit to Oregon
dealers as an object lesson for future
business, aud no doubt will be heeded.
Harrlsburg Review.
Some Difference.
About as laughable an incident as
we have heard of the last campaign,
was of a certain populist aud a friend
who went to Albany to hear Coiey,
says tbe Solo Press. On the same even
ing Hon. M. C. George was speaking
at the court house. Our populist came
in after the speaking had commenced
and as most all public speakings occur
at the court house they went there to
hear Coxey. After the speaking waa
over they remarked Hint they did not
like Coxey tor the reason that he
talked just like the goldbugs do, and
they could nut see wherein he differed
from any of tbe gold standard speakers.
When they were informed of their
mistake, a sort of brimstony scent so
our informant stated were perceptible
lu the atmosphere.
