The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1871-08-25


a new mushroom town which Is In em-
bryo about IL miles this side of 'Eu-
gene, just beyond the Harrisburg
railroad bridge, on the west side of the
Willamette river. The railroad COM
pany has purchased 10 acres of land
from Mr.. Milliron, and will shortly sur
vey the entire tract into town lots and
sell 1t Off as fast as possible. 1t Is de-
signed to make that place the junction
of the East-Side and West-Side rail-
roads and to build up powerful me-
tropoiis there-one that will wipe out
Portland crush San Francisco and give
Pekin, China, u tight rub in the metro-
politan line. The Eugeners are growl-
ing like thunder, and want to know
If this Is what they paid their $4,000
to Holiday for. We didn't make any
great shakes by 1t, and other equally
.'sniped' cities will find themselves In
the same box after awhile.
A NEW RESORT Many pleasure
and health-seekers now visit the Soda
Springs at Kees' Mill, about IS miles
from this city, on the Santiam, which
Is becoming quite fashionable resort.
Two boarding houses are In operation
there, where excellent entaccommodation
may be had for the very reasonable
sum of S4 per week. Rev. Mr.. Butch
er and wife, Mrs. p. C. Harper and Mrs.
John Irving spent several days there
last week, and report themselves high
ly delighted with the lovely scenery,
the cooling shades, the life-glving
breezes, the health-restoring springs Of
water and the excellent accommoda-
tions at their boarding house. The
subscriber proposes to test all these
luxuries If he can snatch short respite
from the cares and tolls of newspaper
dom In week or two.
AT HIS OLD BIZ AGAIN.. B.
Sprenger departed during the week for
Portland, whittier he goes for the pur-
pose of embarking in the hotel busi-
ness again in that city. Judge Packard,
of the Dalles, and Jake are fitting up
hotel there which they design making
first-elass in every sense of the term.
Jake is born hotel keeper, is bound to
be surrounded by host of adnIring
guests wherever he may engage in that
business. We will shortly publish the
advertisement of this new hotel, when
we shall allude to the matter again.
We regret much to lose Mr.. Sprenger
and his estimlble family from our
midst, and wish them the best of for
tune and rarest happiness in their
metropolitan home.
