Before The peltS arrived here the fur deal
ers had heard of them, and five different
men were here to bid for their purchase
San Francisco, Salem and this city being
represented On Tuesday afternoon the furs
We're examined and sealed bids were made,
and Mr.. \. solomon, of Portland, having
bid the highest took the whole lot at 81 ,0l5.
The trapping party consists of Mr. Hensley,
well known to persons who have travelled the
Lebanon mountain Rad. Al Swartz, former
~ of junction, and Chas. Willert. of this city.
Their line of traps through the past win
ter has extended entirely over the Cascades
aud reached down on Cache Creek aud the
AIitalus, and through the coldest weather
they have tramped it along these lines, bait
ing their traps and carrying in their pelts.
In few weeks they expect to go up the
Columbia to see what prospect there is up
there for trapping, and If they find the indi-
cations good they will pass the next season
in that country. 4 more hardy set of fell
lows than these three men we have never
seen It takes the true grit to enable man
to do the work they have during the past
winter.

Next week the Old Fellow Grasl Lodge

our citizens should sec 70 it that all are pro-
vided vita comfortable quarters. An exeur.
sion numbering perhaps 500 people will AZ
rive here ON the I'D from Southern Oregon
and remain over night. Probably not over
half the excursionists will be Odd Fellows.
but that should make no difference they
are strangers and we ought to take them in.
even il we do run the risk OF entertaining
angels unawarca. Oar Odd Fellow brethren
are making strenuous endesvors % secure
lodging for all who come. aHd we advise
them to not stop with soliciting in their own
families but give all our citizens an opportu-
nifty To show their hospitality. Maay OF out
citizens will very willingly place one or tive
spare beds at the disposal of the Committee.

A Cultured Entertainment.

On Friday and Saturday evenings OF last
week the Berger Family and Sol Smith Rus
sell played in our city to immense audiences.
Everybody was delighted from the com
mencement of the opening overture by the
orchestra until the entertainment was closed
by RusseIPa inimitabIe rendition Of Casa
blanca, and the old Opera House rang with
applause every few moments. 1t Is no use
for us to particnlarizs, for each performer
was "star" in his or her particular line, and
each one was recalled by the audience at
least once. Never before has an Albany au-
dience listened to such a refined and elegant
entertainment, and we think it will be some
time before they get such an opportunity
again,
