Chinese New Years Is being "whooped
up" this week. "whooPed up" is high
sounding word and means a good deal.
Sleepless nights, hideous, unfathomabIe,
discordant, matchless, noises, Is as near the
correct definition as we can ascertain. The
Celestial's New Year will not be celebrated
in Tacoma, Halsey and Medford. The
reason Of this is that there are no Cinnamon
there. If there were only one poor opium
jointed, cayote mouthed, greasy queued
celestial in those places the sound of the
broken metaled band would be heard. This
Office acknowledges the receipt of supply
of nuts that set ones teeth on end 10 eat.
We could not help receiving them. II is a
newspapers business TO receive. II Is a
noticeable fact in the life of a newspaper that
with Celestials the money all goes one way.
We dare any of our exchanges to give an
instance where Chinaman paid for any
thing in solid cash. They are sometimes
free for policy's sake with handkerchiefs
and nuts but that Is about the extent OF
their generosity. We wish the Cinnamon
of Albany quiet New Years.

Hoax.

Friday night several shots were heard
fired in the Third ward. The next morn
ing a sensational story was started about
how citizen of that ward had been fired on
by another citizen and hit in one of his
heels. 1t was told in such a sober, matter
of fact way that many believed it, one OF
the parties mentioned being known to be on
the "shoot." Fortunately 1t was a hoax, a
semi-tragedy being spoiled. In these"mod-
ern times" it is about as safe not to believ {
as to believe the current accounts of the day

Applicable Remarks.

In addition to the particulars given in our
last issue OF the gentleman on a recent trip
of the "Yaquina" getting suddenly religious
during big storm, II Is now reported that
in order to make matters complete a collec-
ton was taken up. This so completely
cooled him that all fright was taken away
from him.
BY indiscriminate trusting one eould
easily work up big trade In even elephants.
The incident is told us of woman who re-
Gently bought a can of lard at a butcher
shop and had it charged to Mr.. Nevcriet.
Going past grocery store few moments
later the butcher saw the woman trying to
trade the lard off for some groceries. On
another occasion at another butcher shop
she bought some meat and had II charged
to Mr.. S. but didn't know his first name
The above shows how easily Il Us to get
taken in, and the necessity of storekeepeis
feeling the bumps on the heads Of custom
ers
The man with money has to pay more
for his goods because the man without
money is in the habit of forgetting to liqui
date. This is not right.
Half an hour day devoted TO reading
good books will make an average head 1
library of information in few years. Let
Albany young people ponder.
High water affords an excellent topic for
conversation during dull times. For un
employed men there Is no finer sight than
to watch the muddy, agitated waters of thu
Willamette, flowing, firmly but monoton
ously past.
A smoking machine that would save
smokers the effort of putting would be
grand and paying invention.

That Ghost story.

The ghost story circulated on the street
in connection with the county Jail is looked
upon the way ghost stories generally are.
Strange noises have been heard. The only
question is as to who was the guilty party.
1t is claimed that one Of the tramp prison.
ers, Stewart and Fenton, is a ventriIoquist
AS Fenton seemed to be the most frighten-
ed he may have been the ore.

Dropped Dead.

Last Tuesday evening fire caught in
Raiders butcher shop at Corvallis. Mr.
w. M. Pitman, who lived opposite, started
to give the alarm and put on the water for
the fire department He had reached Sor-
bins Corner, where he was speaking to
some one when he suddenly dropped to the
ground and expired Immediately. Heart
disease was the cause. Mr.. Pitman was in
the furniture business, and was man high
ly respected The fire was extinguished
without the aid of the department.

Last Tuesday County Treasurer Farwell
sent to the State Treasurer the last of Linn
County's share of the State taxes, receiving
a receipt Wednesday, with the statement
that Linn was the second county to pay its
taxes in full. This speaks highly for the
County, Sheriff Charlton and Mr.. Farwell.
Recently in one day $4,000 were taken in
by the Sheriff, and $500 on the next day.
Linn county may always be depended on
to be in the front.

Last Friday the NJ a. r. observing an
immense congregation in front Of Grad

certain the trouble. An innocent looking
crockery hogshead proved to be the center
of attraction. 4 weighty discussion was
going on as to It's cat holding capacity.
Ellis Knox insisted that twenty bushels
were about the figures. Sylvester Dawson
thought that was seven or eight bushels too
low. Adam Settlemier said Il would rot
fall less than thirty-fve, and others vaciliat-
cd between the two extremes, the NJ. a. T.
airing his bucolic knowledge by announcing
thirty as the correct number In this man
ner the opinions of several hundred were
obtained. The NJ. 4. +. brushed the dust
off an old arithmetic, got the hogshcad and
figured |; out about thirty. Mr.. Settlemier
finally bought the structure and in time
will give II an actual test.

A merchant purchased quantity of
wool of a former and he noticed that
some of the fieeces weighed unusually
heavy. Upon examining them he
found concealed within each fleece a
stone. The merchant had the farmer ar
rested; he was found guilty of attempt
ing fraud and was fined 500 and costs
of prosecution. However one must ad
NIT the farmer had no business or legal
right to put the stones in the wool his on
ly purpose was to make the wool weigh
heavier, and it was a fraudulent act
But suppose this same farmer had pur-
chased from some merchant piece of
cloth, and the merchant sold it to him
for all wool. Suppose that on taking it
home, the keen eyes of his wife de-
tected cotton in the cloth. Could he
have the merchant arrested for OBJ
ta,l llng money under false pretenses?
Would he have any redress? Certainly
not 1t would be looked upon as a
regular business transaction, and yet
the proportion of stones weighed in the
load of wool he sold the mercahnt may
have been no greater than the proper
ton of cotton in the cloth the mer-
chant sold the farmer for all wool cloth.

There are many gray heads in this
House of Representatives, and fully
half the heads of the Senators are
either bald or silvered. The average
age of statesmen seems to be on the in
crease, and statisticians tell us that men
live longer now than they did when
George Washington was baby. Kelly
at rs puts in twelve good hours of work
every day, and is as active As young
McAdoo. who is less than half his age.
Wait, of Connecticut, is well preserved
at 80, and Singleton, Mississippi, though
over 70 years of age, did great deal OF
work towards securing the passage of his
Library bill this session. Tt used to be,
though, that man had about fulfilled
his usefulness when he reached the age
of 60, but there are twenty-seven MEM
bers of the Lower House who are be-
tween 60 and 70 years of age, and
among these are some of the best men
in it. Curtain, of Pennsylvania, does
as much work as he ever did. Ranney,
of Massachusetts, who conducted the
Pan-Electric investigation, is 64; Nor
rison, the tariff leader, is over go; and
Holman, the economist, is 63. John
Randolph Tucker is over go, and Abe
Hewitt is of like age.-"Carp'' in
