THE Pasllc square.

The square infront of the Court House in
this city, has so long been called public that
II has, in appearance, at least, become part
of the city property. Az a matter Of fact,
though, the property is entirely private, and
il has nearly reached that point whore II the
citizens of Albany would prevent its con
tinuing so, in fact, and in some othor form
than at present, they will have to act.
Nearly everyone who has been approached
ON tho subject has expressed an opinion in
favor of the city's purchasing the property
and putting II into n park which will he an
ornament TO the city, Il il can be obtained
for a reasonable price Certainly IL would be
great detriment to Albany TO have this
square built up Besides no city is CON
plete without public square aud now is the
time for Albany to haye one, or rather. 1t
should have had one in its own name long
ago. This matter is being agitated on the
streets, 80 the DEMOCRAT takes IL mp and
passes il along What do you think about
il any way Shall We have public sq uaro
meeting in order TO decide tho matter.

The Red Grown.

The work of changing the machinery of
the Red Crown Mills into all rollers Is
now completed. At the time the work
was commenced the DEMOCRAT gave q full
statement OF the changes To bs made.
The mill IL now practically new enc. and
Jontains as fine vet OF machinery as any
mill on the Coast,in fact It has no superior
anywhere. The -four made will be tho
best, not second to any. The capacity o r
the mill has been greatly increased, en-.
abllng II to meet moro readily the large
orders which Il receives. The Red Crown
Mills are now the model mills Of Oregon,
Said an Iowa editor 10 DEMOCRAT man.
''Those must be very popular mills. for
wherever we have been in tho Northwest
we have seen the Red Crown brand" The
present great impr ovement viii spread lts
sale still farther. 1t Is with pleasure the
DEMOCRAT refers to the compilation OF these
changes la the Red Crown Mills, for no
name il so identified with the interests Of
Albany all over the Northwest Coast as
that OF the "Red Crown Flour"

no Country Tor Idle alea,

People coming from the East TO Oregon
with the expectation OF making "big stake"
the first thing will b. very much disappoint-
ed. Although big apples, pears, potatoes,
strawberries, cabbages, turnips, etc., are
plenty, big stakes are not. Ittakes large
amount of labor and push to get along here.
and idle men will find it bad country to
grow up in, as hospitabIe as our people are.
For those who desire mild pleasant climate.
with little cold and not much warm weather,
au absence of cyclones, sun strokes and mad
dogs, this is a glorious country and fine ons
to live in.

Fire at Corvallis.

Corvallis seems to be cursed with sever
al fire bugs OF the meanest kind. On last
Monday night they again piled their ne
farious trade, this time right at the throne
itself. That night fire was discovered
in the oil room OF the Engine House. By
hard work the flames were extinguished,
but not until considerable damage was
done, the upper part Of the building being
badly burned. The people ofthat city are
very justly becoming enraged, and should
the incendiary of so many fires there be
caught mapping 1t would no doubt go hard
with him. He would probably strangle.
