TursrtAN.-The Beatty Theatrical Troup
played in parrish's Hall last Friday and Sat
urday nights to meagre but delighted aAdi
ences. This is truly the finest theatrica
company which has ever appeared in AL
bany, aud we regret much that they receiv
ed such poor encouragement from our amuse
ment-loving people. Mr.. Beatty is really I
fne and careful actor and his rendition o
''Mons. Jacques" was not inferior to artiste'
Of much greater pretensions. Mrs. Beatty
makes an elegant appearance upon The
stage, and seems desirous to please .but has
hardly sufficient versatility to make sue
csssful comedienne. Little May Wells is a
youthful prodigy, and seems to be tho uni
yersal fayorite with the public. She already
displays dramatic talent of striking ability,
and we expect to hear Of her in future years
ss a star of the first magnitude. The re
mainder of the troupe performed very cred
itably, and their several roles were we'll ap
prsciated. 1t makes our city seem really
cosmopolitan to have a theatrical company
aspear among us, and we might have them
-sliener if they received even reasonable en-
.ossragemens; but the greeting that was sI.
tended to the Beatty Troupe was certainly
met ssch rs to warrant their appearance in
oar nidst on a future occasion.
TSrxrrEIESTED l.IEERALITy.-A few
weeks a.s we ordered from Blake. Robbins
& Co. If San Francisco, six bundles l2
rsams, sf printing paper, which in due
time arrived, With bill accompanying OF
Sc, OF $ia per bundle, which is the usual
price fsr our size of paper. But when We
opened the handles we found that every one
of them e~Wtained sirty qnires, instead OF
farty-making one-,hird more paper than
We ordered, and all for the same price that
the 40-quire bundles had always been =
Nov, as we have purchased paper from that
establishment for nearly i've years, and ~
this iRvuiee Of which We speak arrived
nbost the Haiidays, we infer that the extra
paper is intended as Christmas present to
. customer of long standing, and bow our
nost grateful acknowledgements according
IL. We have always found Mcssrs. Blake,
Robbins & Co. to be pr"aIpt, reliable and
accommodating gentlemen. and would rec
utnnsend their house to the patronage of
newspaper publishers upaa the Pacific
eoast
ED. PAlxEz PsoBABLr DRowSEn.-The
California papers contain an account of the
accidental drowning of a young man whom
theycall Harry Palmer, on Jan. LIST. He
was fishing upon same rocks when swell
of the sea washed him off and he was car
ricd away and seen no more. The account
says that deceased was a single man. about
% years old. and had recently arrived from
Oregon Many of oar citizens are inclined
to the belief that the person drowned was
Mr.. f. III. Palmer. for many years resi-.
dent Of this city, and from the desc, iption
given there is a strong probability that the
unfortunate man was really the gen al,
whole -souled and universally beloved Ed.
Palmer of our own city. We will. however.
await further developments before giving a.
positive opinion upon the iamentable subject:
TAxrs. Sheriff Irvine has handed Us the
following names of persons in Linn cotnty
who pay over one hundred dollars taxes,
and whom he neglected to report last week
A. Hackleman, Albany. 1915: jeremiah
Raistan, Lebanon. sl03 J. wassom, Leba-
non. Sl23; J. S. Dickson, Lebanon, Si07
A. j. Warren. Brownsville. Sl42.
The average, per capita, at Brownsville,
10 $26, so, which was accidentally omitted by
the compositor last week.
The Sheriff informs US that at Browns.
Wills, Scio, Lebanon, Harrisburg, and the
other precincts outside of Albany, the taxes
we're paid more fully and readily in his re-
cent collecting tour than ever before, but
that in this precinct the taxpayers seem
very backward about responding. He de.
sires US to state that he hopes all will come
forward and pay up at once, as the law
makes it his duty to enforce collection upon
AIltaxes not paid by the 7th dav of next
month. "a word to Ile wise is suficien,."
pEnsoxAL.-Mr. Thomas Howard. Sheriff
Of Grant county, spent an hour in our Office
last Tuesday. SIR. II. Is very agreeable
gentleman and is an eminent type of that
sterling Democracy for which the Eastern
counties of Our State is celebrated. lie is
now serving his third term as Sheriff of
Grant county, which fact speaks volumes
for his popularity among the people Of his
mountain home. lie says that Canyon
City, which was entirely by fire
iast'sunimer, is fast rebuilding, and that
some of the new structures are far superior
to, any which had been erected previous to
the FIRE. Two of the finest houses are built
Of sand stone, and are structures which will
compare favgrably with any others in Ore
xon. We are glad that the citizens of that
community arc so prosperous and happy, for
their is no class of people who more richly
merit the smiles of gracious Providence
than, ,fhs hardy miners and settlers of those
mountain counties.
OnAsoE OF FiRa.-Mr. George Young has
purchased the Grocery and Provision store
of Marshal Pearson, and will hereafter con.
duct that establishment. Dir. Y is one of
our best citizens, and as he is a neophyte in
