day night, which created such an ex-

caused by the upsetting of gasoline

LEG BR0KES,--Last Saturday a
twin son Of Theodore Hodges, who
resides in Benton county, some four OF
five miles from this city, made mis-
step in getting off sulky plow, got
his left leg caught IN some manner in
the plow, and fell, breaking the two
bones in the leg between the ankle and
knee square off. The boy is about
fourteen years Of age. DR.. Linsey
Hill was called in aud rendered the
necessary surgical aid. AT last ac-

LOCAL MATTERS.

A GRAND ENTERPRISE. Messrs. A
+. Cherry and others of this city lay,
fled articles Incorporating a join
stock company. with the avowed pur
pose of building suitable works ii
which TO commence the manufacture
ofall kinds of agricultural implements
and mlchines needed by the farming
community on the Pacific slope. The
capital stock is to be $4,000, divided
into fittv shares Of 800 per sha.e.
The enterprise should meet with the
hearty support Of all citizens who are
truly in earnest when they say they
hope for better times IN Oregon. The
COURSE hitherto pursued by out people
Is clearly suicidal 0ne---a course that.
fStill persisted In, will certainly bank
rupt the State. We speak now of the
almost universal practice of Our farm
ers aud others of purchasing their
wagons, harvesters, ETC., of Eastern
manufacturers, thus discouraging
equally merltorious work at home.
Thousands of dollars are annually sent
TO the East from Linn county to pay
for Eastern work. the money meyer to
return. when equally as good if not
better work could have been obtained
at home, on as reasonable terms.
There is, however, really no need of
extending our remarks. The point
is just here: if we wish to see Oregon
become agreatand prosperous State, we
must Cease the practice OF draining our
purses every year, in the purchase of
articles frem the East. that we can
have manufactured within her borders.
in as good style, as durable and as
cheap, and thus retain the money
among us. This is true economy,
Every dollar taken from circulation
here. and sent off to pay for foreign
goods, Is Just so much taken from cir
culation that will never return to lis. |
The completion Of tie Albany s. San
tiam Canal, which is now assured at
an early date, will give us advantages
for manufacturing purposes equal to
those OF the most favored localities.
1t will enable Us to manufacture all |
kinds of agricultural implements and
machinery, it may be, at lower figures
than the same articles can be obtained |
for from the East. Columns of argu-
lnellts might be written in advocacy
Of the establishment ofthis and similar
enterprises among us, but the good
sense Of our people will lead them to
500 the advantages to accrue from
them, and We hope, without further
urging on our part, to subscribe for
the stock, aud inaugurate an enterprise
that will prove Of greater general BEN
eft to our people than can be estimated
At this time.

most pleasant and agreeable one thu
has tr,lnspired here since We have bee
resident ofthe city. For three day
previous the mornings had been elolul
and threatening rain. and fears wer
entertained that the picnic would b
spoiled by falling "lnists;" but ii,
morning of the 18th opened without
cloud, everybody wore smiling face
thereat. A very large procession
composed of the children and teacher
Of the various schools, Corvallis Fir
Company, Albany Fire Colnany No
/. followed by vehicles of varioa
descriptions, lolded with festive
picnicers headed by the Albany Bras
Band, moved out to Haeklplnan',
beautiful oak grove in the ea stern sub.
urbs Of the city. shortly after 8 o'clock
A. NJ. The place l. specially adapted
to festivities Of this character. and its
eqUarin beauty we have not seen on
the coast. Here swings had been
erected. croluet and base ball grounds
laid out, a stand erected for the orator
Of the day and the music. with COM
Portable seats tor the audience. Sew
eral refFeshMent booths were also pro-
yided, where ice cream, pies, cakes.
soda water. ETC., could be obtained By
those who came unprovided with re-
ffpshments. The large c0ucolrse of
people, yariously estimated at from
l,5OO to 2.SOO. proceeded to enjoy the
time and occasion As pleased each in
dividlml fancy. until one O'Clock z. NJ.
when. after music by the Albany Band
and song by the Gee Club, the orator
of the day, Gen, N. v Brown, was
introduced, and proceeded to oratP,
bringing down the house" every few
minutes with Scintillations Of wit and
happy ''hits" at the times. The ORA
ton was well received. The Glee
Club deserve special mention for their
excellent singing. The crowd, d state
of our columns precllldes further re-
marks at this time on this subject.
Suffice it to say the Firemen's Picnic
was big thing The Firemn's Ball
in the evening, at the splendid new
hall on Second street. recently erected
by orr fellow townsmmn. Mr.. d. |
Froman, and chriStered Pacific Opera
House, was another triumph for the
Flremen. At guess we should say |
there We're two hundred and fifty per-
SONS in attendance, the preponderance
in numbers being in favor Of the ladies'.
The East Portland string hand had
been engaged and discoursed sweet
music for the dancers. The arrange
mentS fur the comfort and pleasure of
the company were so perfect that not
a ripple disturbed the smooth gliding
hours, and more enjoyable ball don't
often make itself visible to the naked
optic. The supper. gotten up under
the supervision of Miss Ellen Murray.
and set in the engine house opposite
the ball room. was complete. and de-
serving of more extended notice.
Picnic and ball, taken separately or

satisfaction given to all partaking OF

leservedly proud Of the occasion.
