to gain livelihood in an easier manner than

that s. L. Young has brought on splendid
stock of general merchandise, and is now
ready to fit out customers with anything in
his line at very low rates. His agricultural
implement depot is also well stocked with
every implement or machine wanted by the
farmer, and all sales are made on terms that
are fair to the purchaser. Mr.. Young has
been in business ct his present location in
this city since 1860, and BY fair dealing hon.
esty and strict attention to the wants of his
customers, has built upa reputation that q
enyied by all. His customers all know that
everything they purchase at his establish
ment is just exactly as it is represented, and
such knowledge is worth great deal to them.

We hope our readers will not let the ques-
tion of bridging the Willamette at this place
fall to the ground for want of advocates. A
bridge is what Albany now seeds more than
anything else. A great amount of wheat has
usually been brought to this city from the
rich farming locality across the river and if
we do not build bridge and thus give the
farmers quicker and cheaper connection with
our warehouses their grain will all be stored
at Spring Hill and Wells Station. A stock
company could be Organized and the bridge
built this season If we cOnld get some iuau-
entiaI citizens interested in it. And It is our
opinion that stock in this Institution would
always be at premium, and pay large divi-
dends. A few weeks ago we wrote to A. s.
Miller / Son. the most extensive bridge
builders on this Northwest Coast, asking
them for estimates on such bridge as We
would need. In their answer they say .
Smith truss" covered bridge, suitable for
wagons, with two hRndred foot draw spsn,
can be built for sbaut $40, ,09O. Now does
any one suppose for a moment that the re-
ceipts of toll from such bridge would not
pay good rate Of interest on the money in
vested The same firm also inform Us that
if bridge is wanted suitable for railroad as
we'll as wagons, 1t wOnld have to be Hove
truss" and would cost at least S65, 600. Our
citizens now have reliable estimates Of the
cost of constructing this bridge, and they can
seen ascertain If it would be profitable In
vestment. Talk it mp, gentleman, and let
US hear Your views Oar paper is at your
command; we viii never get so deeply intU
politics As to lose sight of the best interests
of Albany and Linn county.
