looked IN the Assessor. This cannet
reflect upon our County Assessor--who
is certainly as vigilant and watchful as
any official in the county--for 1t is an
impossIbility for one man to find every

some must necessarily escape observa-
ton; butit is a source of qualification
to know Tint sheriff Irvine SUGGESTED
IN discfvering many q shs-Se parties
and hfingingthem to timen with their
taxes.I The man who owes Linn county
and can escape Trvine'sclutches
rArost needs be shrewder than ordinary
individuals, besides being rs AQng-
winded as the famous "Dexter'' nd as
fleet-footed as the giant whose lee We're
encased in seven-league boots.
A Coon MovE.-A petition ishcing
circulated and almost unanimously
signed throughout our city, praying the
COMMON Council to pass an ordinance
all Indians, under penalty
of fine and Imprisonment, from entci-
ing our city limits. If such measure
is not in conflict with the civil rights
bill, the military enforcement bill, or
the Ku-Klux bill, then we would like
to sec it pass. Especially would 1t be
to provide some measure
for keeping out of town those base crea-
lures who haunt our streets and alleys
after night to ply their vocation and
spread disease among those who are so
low in the scale of decency as to seek
Them.
II the Indian agents would perform
the duty for which they are paid out of
the pockets of the people, there would
be no need of an ordinance but rs
they will not protect our citizens, our
citizens must protect Themselves.
VOLUME SEvEN.-This is Ne. ! ot
Volume of the DEMOCRAT. Before
this volume closes our State will have
passed through another election, and
the issues and standard-bearers for the
next Presidential campaign will have
been decided upon. Oregon will have
h population of at least 25,000 more
people, and Linn county will have ai
peast 1000 more inhabitants than she
how has. Our own Albany, the .'Gem
of the Valley" will have made rapid
Strides on the way to cosmopolitan
greatness and permanent improve
ment, and the Democratic goose will
probably be suspended at n lovely alti-
tude throughout our commonwealth
N. B.-Parties in arrears for ehe
past years subscription will please call
and settle, as we desire to square up
our books for the new campaign.)

"a coRnEcrrot ot.-We stsfea last week
thatit was runibred the owners of the
Cascade Mountain road would throw
it open TO free travel. We have since
been authoritatively informed that this
is mistake. The toll rates will still
be charged and the road improved as
fast as possible. Every effort will be
made by its new owners to render the
road the very best and most desirable
mountain route on the Pacific coast.
FIXING UP.-A. Carothers & co. are
bound to have the prettiest store in
town, if time, expense and good taste
can make it so. They are continually
some improvement, either for
beauty or utility. The last feature is
the putting up Of o lot of veIvet-cov-
cred shelves for the display of their
magnificent stock of perfumeries, toilet
oils and extracts, which almost look
oriental in their splendor.

]. r. Herren, Esq, keeps the best meat
market ever opened in Albany and

customers. Besides being perfect
