school BOokA

A short time ago all the large dealers in
books In San Francisco entered into CON-
biaatiOn and marked the price Of school
books up considerably higher than has ever
before been paid for them in that city by our
dealers, the new price being Just about what
the same books have heretofore been retail
ing for in this city. FOshay 4 Mason, our
heaviest dealers In school books here in Al.
bany, thought the citizens were already pay.
ing enough for school books and Immediately
commenced corresponding with publishers
back east with the intention of getting their
line Of school books direct The consequences
Is that last week they received from Clark &
Maynard and A. S. Barnes & Co., of New
York, the largest supply Of school books ever
brought to this county, embracing fall line
Thompson Arithmetics, Clark's Grammars,
Monteith's Biographies, Webster's Dictiona-
ries, etc, and the price win not be one cent
higher than heretofore, and they are able 70
give liberal discount to dealers Finding
that they cannot control the actions of our
sntsrprising book firm, the San Francisco
dealers are now writing them every day that
the combination has been broken up and
books can be had at the old prices. But
they have taken step too far, and the com.
mission they have been receiving for years OF
the books used in Linn county will now
drop into the Golfers Of our Albany firm.

LIBERAL and Wise.

By reference to the proceedings Of the las,
session of the City Council published in an.
ether column, it viii be seen that that body
has concluded to rent q new room for the
use Of the city officials Aad to vAcate the
one now occupied by them This is done
for the purpose Of having the present
Council Chamber and the hall used by AL
bany Engine Co. No. thrown into one
room for the use Of the FIRE companies. They
now meet in the old hall, and as both CON-
panies have nearly = full complement Of
men, Of course the meetings are very mneh
crowded. but in tearing out the partition
between il and the council chamber tas
room viii be doubled il size. We we're
very glad too see our Council take such 20.
tiOn it was something that was needed very
badly, bat still there are some who growl
about it. Ours Is . volunteer fire depart
ment, and when the members do all that is
IN their power and sometimes even risk life
in fighting the fire iiend in our city, it is GER
tainly not too much for the corporations TO
provide them with good room. The time
was when old No. ! met in the cabinet shop
Of Chas. Mealey, and during the meetings
the members would sit around on work.
benches. etc, but there il no use Of that
now. Our city is in good circumstances and
can well afford 10 give the fiFe-boys the use
of the entire upper floor Of the engine house.
and to fix It up ready for them to furnish.
Our public spirited Mayor and Board of Al
dermen have already commenced this work,
and we feel sure they will receive the thanks
Of every good citizen.

A Perllousl AdvenlurO.

On Thursday morning Of last week par
ty Of hunters left here for the Soap Creeh
hills on deer hunt, and returned last Tues
day. Their luck was very poor and they
only succeeded in bagging two deer On
Monday night the party passed a sleepioss
night at camp on account Of their anxiety in
regard to the safety of one of their number
who failed to get to camp, just as they
were about to start out after him in the
morning he came In, and in explanation OF
his absence told Of an adventure he had met
with the night before which was one of the
most periloas we have ever heard. While on
his way to camp about dark ho suddenly
came upon an animal feasting upon deer.
The beast was brown in color, very large,
with heavy mano and long smooth tail
When it saw him il instantly bounded for
ward and he emptied load Of twenty.four
buokshot into its head, but still it came on,
and almost in twinkling struck him in the
breast with its paws, knocking him down a
steep, rocky embankment,a "A distance of about
thirty feet. The beast then started down
after him, and as he had dropped his shot.
gun he opened on it with his pistol and sue
oeeded in driving il back. Our hero is =
gritty young fellow just out Of an Eastern
college, and he was not going to give up the
game at that stage. The animal had eaten
half the deer. and the young NimrOd said he
wanted the other half TO take to camp, so he
slipped around and scaled the side of the hill
to whore his gun was, and getting il, loaded
up with swenty-fOur buekshot in each barrel.
and again approached his antagonist. The
beast dareed forward again, and happening
10 expose his sides the young man emptisd
both barrels into him, and the blood gushed
out in large quantities. Although forty
eight buckshot had gone through him, he
was still able TO defend his deer and when the
huAtsr started forward the beast went back
aud laid down by il with his face towards
him, As much IS to say, ''oome and take it if
you dare" Our young and valiant hunter
was now ont of ammunition 80 he quietly de-
cAmped, and soon finding an old shed, he
''hOled up" for the night. His comrades
wanted him to go back and show them where
i all occurred, saying tha. he had probably
<iIled cougar, and that tn scalp was worth
300, but he said il was eight or ten miles of
md he probably couldn't findtheplace again,
o they packed up and came home. This is
he story. and the hunter himself says it is
true As preaching" but several of his COM
ades have the hardihood to doubt it.

The TwIne Factory.

This concern has always been a little
shaky financially ever since It's location in
this city, and for this very reason although
the farming community felt sure that the
culture Of fax for lint was a money-mAking
business, they have been backward about
engaging IN 1t. We are glad to be able this
week to announce that the tEine factory has
changed hands and is nov owned by com
pany of such men as Crawford, Simpson,
Foster and others. Taking this into consid.
GRAFTON with the fact that Geo. T. Simpson
Is to act as business manager of the factory,
we think the success Of the institution i
assured He Is i good fnaneier, and win
cause the factory to make good returns to
its owners if any one can. The farmers can
now rest assured that they will have 4
good market for al the lint they can raise,
and the price viii very likely be more 70.
numerative than what they receive for wheat.
