A gang Of about forty men arc now
engaged in making rock cut just this
side Of the Summit, and the blasts at that
point are plainly heard here in Albany
every day.
Other laboring parties are engaged at
different points along the line, excavat-
ing for bridge piers and abutments, etc.
The surveying parties which have
been working from Corvallis and the
Bay, setting grade stakes and complet-
ing the final survey, will meet near the
Summit this week. We understand
they viii immediatel, come TO Corvallis
and begin the survey eastward across
the valley, going as far into the noun
tains as the snow will permit.
SIR. Hogg's brother left the Bay fer
Corvallis last week, and from there
will go Immediately to San Francisco.
Four saw mills are now running on
full time getting out bridge tinbers
and ties, and two more mills will be
started up soon. One was recently put
in operation at the Summit which has
a capacity Of 1000 feet per hour.
Several gangs Of men are at work
along the line getting out ties. About
zoe, 900 ties are now ready for delivery
At the Bay work is still going on
rapidly upon the large wharf at
Fords Pt. and 40 soon as it is completed
railroad material will begin to arrive
from San francisco.
Vessels are continuously arriving at
San Francisco with railroad material
for this road and vessels are being
chartered to transport it from that
point to the Bay. Capt. Winant, of
the schooner 'R. B. Hardy" came in
with merchandise from Portland a short
time ago, and while at the Bay stated
that his vessel had been chartered to
ply between San Francisco and the
Bay in moving the railroad material,
and that he would begin operations in
a few weeks.
Four large scows have been completed
ready for business, and they will be
employed in Transporting lumber and
stone for the improvements going
on at Fords Point.

It becomes our sad duty to chroni-
Gle the death OF several of our citizens
since our last writing. On the morn
ing of the 9th inst. Mrs. j. T.. McCul-
Iy passed away. She had recovered
from her late dangerous illness so as
to be able to sit up. On Thursday
morning her sister arose at the usual
hour and on going to her bed found
her cold in death. She must have
died instantly as the watcher who
was attending her husband heard no
unusual noise during the night. And
ere this reaches the readers of the
DEMOCRAT the spirit OF J. r. will have
gone to join that of his wife, as he Is
now beyond the help of man. May
we not hope they will be happily re-
united on the othor side. We extend
our heartfelt sympathies to the two
orphaned boys and sorrowing rela-
tives.

Ono of the most horrible theater
fres ever recorded was that of the
burning of the Ring theatcr in Vienna
on Friday evening of last week. A
theater is the natural place for tragedy,
and does we'll when it is only fiction,
but when thousand persons are seen
writhing in lurid burning flames, all
poetry yanishes. The fr' started on
the stage, and the cOwardly stage-mana-
gers deserting their posts, the whole
theater was soon cnveloped in ire and
smoke. Only the galleries were occu-
pied, the elite not having arrived. Escape
was impossible. The last report places
the number at GIG, who met their
death in this horrible manner.

Let the taxpayers of Linn County

S0Hx WEISS FoRxRT.

In the death of John Weiss Fornsy,
net only the Democracy, but tho nation
at large loses one of its abIest men. He
was born at Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
September 3otb, 1917. He began a
journalistic career at an early age,
which proved to be one of the most bril-
Iian. in the annals of American journa-
alism. Until 1851 he published sever
al Democratic papers. At that time be
was elected clerk Of the House of Rep
resentatiyes, which position he held for
Eve years. In 1857 he started Forneys
Press, which, through long series Of
years took leading rank among the
Democratic papers of the United States
and became famous for its forcible,
fearless exposition Of the doctrines Of
the party it espoused. At its estab-
lishment it was of the Stephen A.
Douglas stripe and opposed the admin
istration of Buchanan. Col. Forney
was clerk of the S6th Congress,
and is entitled to great credit for bis
vigorous support of the national govern
ment. From 1861 to 1868 he was
Secretary of the Senate. and since then
has been actively engaged on the Press
and, besides, has published several
works, which have placed him among
the foremost Of American writer's. His
loss, ike the loss Of all able men, is
great one, but ho leaves behind him
monuments which will keep him in
naemorY gor years to come.

Disgusted Republicans.


Redfeld mournfully writes from
Washington There is great disa-
pointment among the Republicans
here at the failure to secure a Republic
can Senator from Tennessee. AS under
stood here, the facts wurrent the con-
clusion that there was gross misman-
agement at Nashville, or the contest
would have been differently deter
mined. The friends Of Maynard in
sisted on standing by him after it was
apparent that he could not be elected.
1t Is known here that there were three
Democrats who would have voted for
a man like Judge Key, but who would
not vote for Maynard. 1t is known
that Garfield was intensely interested
in this case, as it would at once have
placed the legislative branch Of the
Government In harmony with his
administration. There was nothing
reasonable and honorable that he
would not have done to have seen
Senator elected from Tennessee who
would have co-operated with his adj
ministration, thus making all the
branches Of the Government politi-
cally harmonious. Ii was understood
by leading Republicans here and at
Nashville that no honorable means
were to be omitted to secure the Sena-
torshib, or rather to secure a man who
would be i'm substantial harmony with
the incoming administration. In
stead Of that, the legislative branch Of
the National Government has been
thrown away, and rock-ribbed, cop
Democrat selected, who
will no more act with the administra-
ton than will Dan. voorhees,. What
makes the Republicans feel more I'M
happy about this Is the fact showing |
more and more apparent that Malone |
will act In substantial harmony with |
The Democrats. No one specially IL
blamed for the Nashville 1fizzle, but
prominent Republicans are very much
iisgusted on general principals.
