THE PARKER GUN.-Sportsmen are
no longer content with a muzzle load

little dreamed of when we were boys.
America ranks first in the manufacture
of firearms, and first among her wor-
thy artizans stand the firm of Parker
Bros, of West Meriden, Conn. Their
breech-loading shot gun is beyond
question the best and cheapest tire-arm
of this sort now made. We speak
from experience, and heartily COM
mend the firm and their model gun.-

MI. Hugh n. Small, travelling cor
respondent Of the Oregonian, gives
that paper the following description of
some of the prominent features of our
county;
TANG ExT
rs small town on the line of the Ore
gon and California Railroad and about
twelve miles from Lebanon, and about
six miles from Albany. The town
il iayorabIy located in the ALBANY
Prairie, p and is an important center for
storing and forwarding wheat to Port
Iand for shipment. Messrs. J. Beard s.
Son are theproprietors Of oneIofthe most
convenient and complete warehouses
on the line Of the railroad: They will
forward this season 100000 bushels Of
wheat; the farmers Of the district are
men Of wealth and influence, surround
ed with profusion Of comforts and
luxuries. Such men as Mr.. Martin
Werts, Judge g. Fl. Baber and John
Beard, have farms, and residences and
live in such style as any country might
be proud Of and are only fair samples
of large portion Of the farmers Of the
ALBANY Prairie" From the balcony
OF Judge Baber's house is q Landscape
Of valley, foot-hill, and mountain
scenery that for beauty and grandeur
is seldom surpassed.
LEBANON
Is a small town located near the banks
Of the Santiam river, and within the
bounds Of the extensive, fertile and
beautiful "Albany Prairie.p It has
four good general stores, several me-
chanics' shops, two physicians, an
excellent academy, two churches and
a first class flour mill. There are
some neat cottages and few good
public buildings. The farmers Of the
neighborhood are men of unusual in
telligence, wealth and ndintiuence, whose
power is felt In Linn county and the
Willamette valley.
THE LEBANON FLOUR MILL
Is owned BY Elkins Brothers. At this
mill farmers and merchants can get as
good -four and feed as is made in the
Willamette Valley; the farmers can
get as high a price for their wheat as
at Albany, thereby saving thirteen
miles of drayage. The mill has a con-
stant supply Of water all the year from
the Santiam river, r.achinery is Of the
most modern and improved kind, the
mill itself is built in the most substan-
tiaI manner, at cost of $4,000, and
is kept in the best condition possible.
The granary holds $4,000 bushels Of
wheat. The owners grind extensively
for the farmers and ship largely to the
Portland and San Francisco markets,
where ready sales and good prices are
obtained, and are making ARRANGE
ments to ship flour to Liverpool.
THE ALBANY AND sANTIAM CANAL
That will be finished by January, will
be valuable auxiliary to the business
of Lebanon for transporting wheat,
flour and other freight at all seasons of
the year, particularly during the
winter months, when Lebanon is al
most cut off from the outer world for
