Another Candidate.

In this issue appears the card
Of Hon. w. K. Homan. an
nouncing himself as an indie
pendent candidate for the state
senate, to fill the vacancy caus.
ed by his own resignation. Mr..
Holman proposes making the
race as an independent candi-
date and solely on his merits.
Politically he claims to be a
sreenbacker, but does not pro-
pose making politics an issue
in the present race. While the
BANNER is opposed to Mr..
Homan, it will do him the
Justice to say that he has its
respect and esteem as a man
and d citizen. The democrats
have a candidate in the field,
Capt. Kenney, and we advise
everybody to vote for him.

On Tuesday Of this week
Capt. Raymond, keeper of Life
Saving Station No. 3, found on
the beach what he supposed 10
be a mermaid which had been
washed up from the sea. Capt.
Raymond describes it as being
about the size of a six-year-old
boy, and to the middle or waist
of the body resembling a boy in
every particular. He says that
its face. head, neck, arms and
bust, as well as its hair, were
similaI in appearance to those
Of a human being. There were
no fingers on the hneds, but a
coarse. moppy hair like ths
frizzled end of a whalebonc,
supplied their place. The low
er portion OF the body, from the
middle or waist downward, re-
sembles that Of a shark. the tail
being covered with a hairy SUBJ
stance similar to that of the
hands. Capt. Fowler says that
the "tarnal critter' came there
for no good, and it betokens a
terrible shipwreck and fearful
lost oflifc. which is soon to hap
pen on that part of the coast.

Facts to BE- Considered.

Two years ago Albany was considered
the second city IN the State in enterprise
AID progress, and third Only in popula-
ton and wealth. The census shows to-
day that size ranks sixth in population,
while the county ranks as third, having
population of I2.7i1, an increase of 1894
since the census OF $50.
No place III the State of Oregon gave
better promise Of growth and prosperity
few months since tlian Albany. Que rea-
tor the decrease in popuIation-for
Albany has certainly lest several hundred
population during the last few months
is the rust of last season, and the fdiEtI-
eut crops for several Seasons past. A
number of farmers W no had made their
homes i'll this city. owing to failure of crops
and othe~ causes, have gone back to their
farms. But the greatest loss, probably. is
from the removal OF mechanics and others
who depended upon their daily labor for
subsistence. Wheat having failed, all
other busiI.ess felt the depression.
II we wish to regain the position, as
city. we once had. earnest effort must be
made. Talking #:id philosophizing won't
help us 10 regain aud keep What we have
lost !; we must put shoulders to the
wheel and act unitedly and with will iii
every enterprise for the general welfare,
and above all we must not be afraid of our
money. but use it tor the general good.
We have a fine waterpower-it can be
increased. We need to build up and hold
together solid city. one that can not be
depopulated by the failure of one or two
crops, to develop manufaetor cries. But to
create a greater inducement tor capital to
invest in manufactures, our transportation
facilities ured to be improved. Owing to
our supineRess. railroad lines projected
and now being hurried to completion, pass
US the north and on the south, and our
fine water power and our river privileges
will not save to us the cream of the trade
and traffic that will be taken from us by
these lines. Capitalists will, it Is announc-
ed, build tie Corvallis road to the Bay. In
extending this line through the Cascades
to make Eastern connections. the road
will cross the Willamette at Corvallis. and
passing an air line, will take in Tangent
anu 1-cIdItVIl on It's way III tue f1d$I. DNSS-
ing six or eight miles south of this city.
At least this seems to be the most Iikely
route for the road to take. as it will not
have to defect from an air line. will ac-
commodate the hest part OF the agricultur-
al interests, aud the people interested
along the line have proffered aid for such
road, while our citizens have offered moth
Ing.
Can't any citizen see that If Albany is moi
to be Included i'll any Of these lines, that
our trade will SOON dwindle to nothing.
that our mills aud warehouses will he
proftless, and as frade and commerce
leaves, onr population will soon follow !?
These are but few facts, occurring to
every thinking man in the community.
but they are certainly enough to create
alarm in the breast of every we'll wisher
Of our city for her future prosperity.
The question: is. what can be done to
give new impetus to our growth and ad-
vance the prosperity of our little city ?

Last Saturday night row between

ended in the shooting of Warren by Good
win. AS we get it the affair occurred in
this way: A grudge had existed for some
time between the parties. On Saturday
night the two met at the residence OF Mr..
Mazterson. High words ensued and shots
were exchanged. Goodman struck War
ren heavy blow over the right eye. and

there were slight hopes Of saving the mans
