ON Oregon.

Last Friday In an address 10 the bust.
ness men of Oregon John Sherman paid
the following glowing tribute TO Oregon
Gentlemen, tho chief attraction about
Oregon In early times, when / was boy,
aud before Portland even existed, was the
glamour romance that the genius of Wash
ington Irving threw over all that he wrote
about II. read with boyish interest the
Bonneville adventures, astoria and
the accounts of the Lewis and Clark ex.
peditiOn, and, fool that l was, thought |
knew something about tha country, and l
undertook to write lecture on Oregon,
But knew as much about Oregon then as
you did when you first came here, come
now to see Oregon and II Is u great coun.
try, unriYaled anywhere, have travelled
extensively through Europe and the great
or part OF North America, and for scenery
Il seems to me more beautiful than any
country have ever seen, Indeed do
not know OF any tiner scenery elsewhere
than that around Portland and To loo seen
from the Oregon and California railroad,
Prophesylng, he said
You can make of this state OF Oregon in
the next thirty years, that N to saw, Within
the lives ot the young men here, one OF
the richest and most populous states ln the
Union, l urge upon the young men hero
especially to take hold and do their part
In this work ofdevoloping one of the most
important states OF our country,
On the subject OF manufactures and
diversified industries he made tho follow
ing pointed, sensible remarks:
would call your attention 10 the im-
portHnce OF diversifying your industries,
of building up manufactures, here and In
every part of your great state, and not
raise wheat Onlv az van In Oregon have
done, but TO raise all the products OF tho
soil. You have the agricultural areas To
support large population and have all
the raw materials for manufacture. Manu-
factures will be of moro benefit to you
than any railroad or canal. The policy
should be adopted by you OF building up
here I'm Portland aud other towns in ore.
gon manufactures, shops for agricultural
implements and mechanics' tools, aud
thereby give employment To men who
will consume your produce here In yeur
midst.

The Benton "Leader," unfeelingly
dooms our 4th of July celebration IN this
manner:
"The people Of Albany will expect us
TO help them make their 4th OF July cele-
bTation success but for once they will
be weefully out in their calculations.
After they treated our firemen's picnic
with such cool neglect and contempt they
certainly cannot expect us to help them
make their celebration successful. Some.
times people get too smart"
Right, brother, right, but 1t is not all
ways Albanians. As several wagon loads
of citizens of this city attended the picnic
it is difficult TO tell what the writer is get.

The "Mercury" in speaking of Mr..
PetlingiIl the new editor and proprietor o
the "Standard" says:
"Mr, Pettingill is an old newspaper

and in addition to this he is one of the
most sincere of men and will never be
found advocating any proposition that
does not carry fairness and equity upon

The Country Newspaper.

An exchange says that the country news
paper is the most useful of all the agencies
which stamp the impress of progress upon
villages and inland cities. Without the aid
Of local newspapers towns are, as rule, thrift
less and dead. 1t is common for small great
men to speak with contempt of the local
newspapers, but the village newspaper makes
more great men ont of less material-more
bricks without straw-than any other factor
in politics. and it Ia the one ladder on which
men climb tn local distinction as the begin.
ming Of wider fam. The advent of the local
newspaper has always dated the increased
thrift of the community. The local news
paper is the life of the locality, and the
measure of its support, as rule measures
theadvancemept Of the people.

TIE new law passed at the last sessi on
o'the Legislature amending section $50 OF
{ 70 code of criminal procedure Of Oregon
to ik effect May 20, 1t prohibits the sell

ling, showing, etc, 10 any minor of any
Publication principally made up OF crimi-
nal news, police reports or accounts OF
cimlnal deeds, or pictures and stories of
de IDS OF bloodshed, lust or crime. The
law Is strict and its object is clear Rs those
OF laws generally, sufficiently so that
such papers as the "Police Gazette" and
"News" are plainly within the proscrip-
ton, The dealers of this city, looking at
ii this way have discontinued selling the
abovs papers, and they can no longer be
found in Albany. AS the fine is set at
$500 to $500, it " III be we'll for dealers all

ceed in the matter, The law is n good one
and should be enforced.

that ii was in such position as TO he mpossi

Blue ISueEeI DIggIngs.

Several weeks ago the DEMOCRAT gave
several accounts OF these famous diggings
with announcement of a departure for
them or Mr. Davis aud several others.
From Mr.. Jas. Elkins. who has just ar
rived across the mountains we learn that
the party reach the traditional grave in
safety, where they sunk two shafts, but
found no gold nor indications of gold,
The party left the place satisfied the blue
bucket was visionary business, some
going in one direction and others in an
other, Mr. Davis searching principally for
the festive deer. Though they may have
found no gold, they certainly must have
had pleasant summers trip, which was
one Of the inducements for them TO start
on the excur sion.
