Last Saturday evening an Albany gen
tleman was conveying the railroad officers
Of tho o. p. to their homes In Corvallis
when &n incident happened not down In
the program. The other side Of the Cali-
poola bridge tho road runs along q steep
embankment, about fifteen feet high.
Just as tho Albany team started on this
end OF the narrow road young lady and
gentleman, OF Albany and Corvallis res
spectIvely, started on the west end. II
was dark, powerfully dark. Tho eccu-
pants OF tho two teams hardly saw each
other, Hence they met In the mIddl g
with clash. The young man and lady.
horse and carriage, were thrown off the
embankment into the mud below.
Strangely enough though no injury was
done TO any ono or anything but the har.
ness and carriage, ard they were repaired
sufficiently for tho couple TO continue on
theif journey to Albany: Everybody tool
the matter good humoredly, the young
man even telling the yoang lady that she
could net say now that she had not made
mash. 1t WAS a close call to a serious
affair, as anyone who has travelled alonl
the road will testify.

"Yaqalna" salIsa.

On last Monday afternoon, at three o'clock
the steamship "Yaquina" sailed from New-
port for San Francisco with large load OF
wheat and several passengers. II was an
event of much significance TO the people of
the Valley. 1t told Of cheaper transportation
and'a genuine competition. 1t spoke Of $50
clear gain in the pocket of every farmer
having $1,000 worth Of wheat on it. 1t told
of several dollars sayed to every passenger,
as well as quicker time in making the trip
for Valley people. The o r 4 N Co. may
look upon it as small matter now butit is,
we believe, tho little cloud that will rise fast
into big storm. The people Of this Valley
have for many years submitted TO the high
rates of despotic monopoly. The prospects
for its being in a measure broken are hatter.
ing. The ''Yaquina" alone may not do ii
but combination Of steamships end rail-
roads are bound to, and in ne long period oI
time.

jeot DRAIocRAT man examined $50

In different parts OF the county, taking

OF the $50 farms only 10 were covered

OF the other 80 some owed very little.
but only small sum compared with
the assessed value OF their laud but
most Of them were out Of debt. Figures
speak volumes ana much more correct

one man gets heavily involved tho big
eyes of the public always see dozen.
II Is true that too many are covered up
with debts but there are many more
who are not, as the assessment roll
shows. II u farmer is In debt IL can be
