The Albany jail is to have new steel cells, manufactured in that city. Elder Bonnell has been engaged as pastor of the Christian church at Eugene. The opening of the new woolen mill at Waterloo will make the eighth mill of the kind in the state. The Monmouth normal has just received $11,000 of the appropriation made by the late legislature.

C. J. Strong, a resident of McCoy, is a brother of Hon. Wm. L. Strong, the present mayor of New York city. The state university students are collecting the native flower plants of Oregon and putting them out in the campus. The Dilley school is closed for the construction of an addition. The teaching force will be increased April 1st. A cherry tree fifty years old stands on a donation land claim near Silver- ton. It is eight feet in circum ference. It is said parties are now in San Francisco who will take up the en terprise of reopening the Dallas woolen mill. The assessor of Polk county has collected more taxes up to date on the last tax roll than in the same length of tiise in any previous year. The Albany Herald, a right good little paper, but which has been dis figured by narrow columns, is soon to be printed in columns of standard width. A Molalla citizen, grew' to be 55 years old without ever hearing a fire alarm or being present at a fire. He will be lucky if he is as fortunate in the next world. An old hen in Washington county makes her nest 50 feet up in an oak tree, thus showing a wild, depraved taste, and making it difficult for anyone but blue jays to get her eggs. Astoria has purchased a chemical engine. A large fire was completely put out in just five seconds, at an ex pense of a few cents. The fire de partment there thinks it a great success.

A Heppner girl of 17, who recently eloped and married, took precaution to paste the number “21” in her shoe, so that if the preacher asked questions she might truthfully say she was “over 21.” W. A.

The Mazamas will have their an nual meeting this year on Mt. Adams. Every member who desires a vote must be on the summit at an hour to be fixed, on July 10th.

A young lady student at Albany lost her watch in the river, and although it could be plainly seen ly ing on the bed of the stream, she bad to pay $5 to two young men to recover it for her, which would indi cate that gallantry is a lost art at Albany. The Oregon City Enterprise says a new candidate for musical honors is Mr. C. Knott of Mulino, who in ad dition to being an expert musician has developed considerable talent as a composer. One of his productions, Webfoot Waltz, has been published in the east, and is well received bj’ musicians who have played it. At Barlow recently, two Silverton citizens,named Tucker and Osborne, were beating their way on a freight train. The train stopped on a bridge, and fearing detection by the train men and not knowing they were on the bridge, the men fell to the ground below. Tucker fell head foremost on the rocks and was killed.

Some one has said that formally the civil ized world stole Africans from Africa, but that now thej’ are stealing Africa from the Africans. It will not be possible for the work of theft to go on much longer, as the terri tory has been pretty nearly all ab sorbed. The next epoch in the historj’ of the Dark Continent will be the develop ment of its resources. That is what the European powers are most anx ious to do. There are immense riches in the mountains, the plateaus and the valleys of Africa, and inanj’ articles of commerce are produced which the world wants. In order to develop this commerce the means of communication and carriage must be improved, and this work of improve ment has already begun. Our readers know that a railroad from the Lower to the Upper Congo, around the rapids, has been partly completed, and trains are running on it back and forth. Premier Rhodes, of Cape Colony, is concerned with a railroad line north to Bulu- wayo in British Central Africa. It is stated that his telegraph line north to Uganda maj’ be within hailing distance of the Victoria Ny anza the present year. The same ambitious ruler is crowding the Portuguese on the east of British Central Africa and proposes to take, if he can get it, a large section of country in the Borotse valley. Prob ably within a year or two the con tention between the English, the French and the Belgians with refer ence to the territory between the Congo and the Upper Nile will be settled. Then when the equilibrium between the various possessions is once fairly established we may ex pect that the European powers will devote their energies to the develop ment of their great colonial posses sions, so that the next quarter of a centurj’ promises wonderful results in the opening of Africa.— New York Independent. J. A. Richardson, of Jefferson City, Mo., chief enrolling force 38th general assembly of Missouri, writes: I wish to testify to the merits of One Minute Cough Cure. When other so-called cures failed, I obtained almost instant relief and a speedy cure by tbe use of One Minute Cough Cure Rogers Bros. New Forage Plant. The island of Saghaiien, lying be tween Japan and Siberia, has given to the world a plant that promises to be as valuable as alfalfa for graz ing purposes, and it has the advant age of growing where alfalfa will not thrive. The new plant is called sacaline. It resists drought as no other vegetable growth can. It is also adapted to wet and swampy places. Its roots are tremendous and spread all round, and that is why it can thrive anywhere. . Sacaline has been tested as a for age plant in Iowa and in California, and in both states it has met un qualified approval. Swampy, ragged spots where nothing else will grow may be planted with it, and it will quickly cover the ground and afford food alike to sh?ep, horses, cattle and swine. It growes to a height of 14 feet. Another name for it is giant knot weed. Attention was first drawn to it as a forage plant in France two years ago. A great drought was on, and pastures were dried up. Sacaline had been planted and reared to a considerable extent as an ornamental growth. But dur ing the drought it was observed that domestic animals ate it greedily and fattened on it, while the more it was browsed at the more it grew. The idea was then conceived of cultivat ing it as a domestic forage plant, which was done with great success. Sacaline will be especially valuable at the time the pasture fields of the country dry up in August and Sep tember. It is to be hoped the agri cultural stations in all the states will test it thoroughly for farmers and put them in the way of procuring it if its value is equal to what is claimed for it. In Missouri it is proposed to levy a tax upon bachelors as follows: Those between the ages of 30 and 35 are to be taxed $10; between the ages of 35 and 40, $15; between 40 and 45, $30; between 45 and 50, $50; between 50 and 55, $75. Bachelors over 60 years of age are required to pay 25 per cent of their taxable wealth. This is a new way of en couraging matrimony. Ohio is going into the pheasant breeding business.

Dunbar Bros., through the medium of the Oregon fruit union, shipped a car load of fine spuds to Galveston, Texas, last week. Mr. Clarence Butt, of Cleone, Ore gon, was in town last Saturday look ing up a location to engage in the practice of law, and before taking his departure decided to locate here.

Coj’otes have been killing the sheep of farmers up the valley for some months past, and last Tuesday a number of farmers got together a lot of hounds and started to kill them off, with what result we have not learned. Amity Blade. R. W. Lancefield purchased the remaining portion of the J. R. San ders farm from Assignee Henderson and shortly after sold it to Mr. Mitchell, who had previously bought a portion of the farm. Mr. Mitchell, who bought a por tion of the J. R. Sanders farm, had the great misfortune to lose his house and all the contents thereof Tuesday morning by fire. The house was known as the old Sanders home, and though less valuable than at one time, it was a fairly comfortable resi dence and its loss is quite heavily felt by the loser. Last week Elmus Henderson sold his farm just west of town to Mr. John Lady, of near Sheridan for $1400 and for the same consideration bought Mr. Lady’s farm near Sheri dan. The gentlemen will soon take possession of their new homes. This important deal was consummated through the efficient efforts of our local dirt seller, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Daugherty, of the Sheridan Land Co. North Yamhill Record.
