One may so all over the Northwest,
and will be sure to run across the pro-
ducts Of Albany industry, Of one kind
or another. Our furniture, saw mills,
eur chairs, our wire goods, our matches,
our -four, our hay presses, our fruit dry
ers, eur fruit presses, will meet you 10
nearly every place, and it Is fact not
appreciated BY many living ir our
midst that these things are giving US a
name, even though not extensive, a. .
manufacturing city, which is bound to
be developed into one for which we will
feel justly pzound, and even now not
equalled BY any other place in Oregon.
It can aot be reiterated too eftsn that
our water works are the finest on this
part OF the Coast, we do not say this
egotistic&Ily. but because 1t can be
proved. There may be others nore
powerful, but Rone so Esueh under the
control of man, at the same time poss-
essing all the power necessary to run
the wheels of . Lowell. At this time
there is steady, reliable life, contin-
ually not seen because some do not want
TO see 1t, which insares its success as q
city.

The Cause Ter It.

The "oregonian" always ready to pub.
lish anything detrimental to the interests
Of the Oregon Pacific, had an article In
last Mondays issue in which an interview
with civil engineer, who once worked On
the road was given. According TO It almost
no preparations had been made, to COM
msnce active operations, that fifteen gangs
Of Chinese were at work with only fifty
wheel berrows and some shoysIs. That
Mr. White the Superintendent Of construc-
ten asked for forty horses and only got
one poor animal that fell down an en-
bankment and broke his leg, that some
men were cutting a fir tree with mAttocks,
that Mr. White left in disgust On account
Of fmismansgsment, and that the work on
the road is grand farce. New, We are
told. On good authority, that the whole
trauble lies in q nutshell. Mr. White was
discharged. being succeeded by Mr. Gates,
and the civil engineer wanted q job, and
could net get it, and so they propose to
get even by running down the road. This
will have little influences with those who
understand what is being done.

what II Et.
SAMUEL Z. You've.

Last Monday morning q large beny
looking substance measuring about fOet
each way, was exhibited in front Of the
store OF Foshay q Mason, and many were
the csnjsctures as to what 1t was. Az .
starter It was claimed that It was taken
from the Cascade Mountains where 1t was
found buried fifteen fsct under the earth.
One said Il was vertebrae from the hack
bone Of an Indisn child, another that 1t
was vsrtebrae from the whale that Jonah
swallowed, another that IL was part OF
the back bene Of Sampson, another that
1t was the knee pan OF Corvallis girl,
another that Il was taken from the cheek
bone Of q San Franoiscs drummer, etc.
LATER.-We have since learned that II
was the vertebrae Of . whale that left its
benss on the Cascade range several years
ago when that was an island.
