The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1874-12-11

and material will have arrived, Inad-
dition to these contemplated improve
ments it is our intention to commence
the publication Of the DAILY STATE
RIGHTS DEMOCRAT early in the
Spring THE remarkable growth of
our city during the past year, and its
! fiattering future prospects, warrant us
in launching upon this Important en-
terprise, and heproyerbial liberality
of our citizens is sure guaranty that
we will receive the heartiest support
and fullest encouragement in the un-
dertaking. The daily will not be i'm
mense in proportions, but will be a
neat, newsy, interesting and valuable
little sheet filled not only with the
most interesting local news and gossip,
but also with the latest news from the
county at large We will not only
have travelling and resident coTespon-
dents in every country on the globe,
but will employ one first-class item
thief and scissorer who will be able to
steal from our larger exchanges every
thing of interest or value and dish it
up as original in our columns. r n
BY the way something of our visit
to San Francisco is doubtless expected
fh this connection, but we have no
time to spread on that theme at pres
ent, Something may be expected in
the future numbers of the DEMOCRAT.
BADLY BURNED. hear of still
another case of burning in the vicinity
of Brownsville, which makes the third
we have noticed inside of the last three
months. A few days ago the wife of
w. II. Finley was sitting before the
Fireplace at their home, and being a
sufferer from chillblains was engaged
| in bathing her feet with the spirits of
turpcntine. She had just succeeded in
completely covering her feet with the
turpentine when spark flew out of
the fire, and ignited it on one foot.
The flames instantly communicated
to the other, but they were quenched
before they reached the ladys clothing.
The result of the accident of course is
not serious, but very severe and pain
full, and we are glad to hear that the
ladyis fast recovering from the effects
of it.
SOCIAL HoP. BY far the best "social
hop'' that has been given in the city
this season came off at the residence of
Mr.. A. Humphrey last Wednesday
evening. There were only a "select
few' in attendance, and as the host
and hostess did everything in their
power to make it pass off to the enjoy
ment of their friends, time Slipped by
very fast-so fast indeed that it was
one O clock before the company thought
of taking their departure. The oc-
casion will long be remembered by
those who had the pleasure of attend
ing as one of the most enjoyable even
ings they have ever spent.
HOP CuLTURE.-The Introduction of
this branch of agricultural industry is
now being agitated in this county to a
considerable extent, especially in Or
leans precinct, just across the river
from Corvallis. We learn from gem
tleman Just down from that section
that there will be between one and two
hundred acres of hops cultivated in
that community during the coming
year. We are glad to hear of this
move, as our farmers are now aware
that it will not do to put too much de-
pendance on wheat.
YAQUINA BAY RAILRoAD.--The
Corvallis and Yaquina Bay Railroad
: question, has been attracting great
deal of attention in Benton county,
especially in the vicinity of Corvallis
and Yaquina Bay, for the past month
or two, and now the people living
: across the river from Corvallis, in Linn
county, are talking the question up to
pretty good advantage. Messrs. Jos.
Hamilton and /. N. Smith are now
engaged in canvassing in that section,
: and we hear they are meeting with
r flattering success
