LOCAL RECORD.

Here Is the last from the Attcsi "ThS
Capital JoHyHai displays It's ignorance on
the matter pertaining 10 the farm when Il
says that the potato rot as spoken OF In the
.4teaal Is all obosh." We have examined
this crop to our own entire satisfaction and
find the report correct The Burkanks
seeding variety seems 10 be worse affected
than any other kind the tubers when cut
open display black speck in the center
with yellowish streaks running through
the potato, denoting that they are affected
with some disease"
IDENrIFtEp The statement is now
made that the remains found at North
Powder, IA Baker county, have been posi-.
lively identified as those of Willis SkiH. A
dentist and another person who had occas-
ion TO examine Mr.. Skiff's teeth a short
time before his disappearance, made the
Identification. II Is probable that certain
persons viii be arrested, rs the absence OF
the body is all that prevented. the convic-
tion of the persons tried for the crime
Our REsosrs.-A large number ot
campers are already scattered around Soda.
vile and some at Waterloo. The number
attending these places on Sunday particular
Wis very large. The soda water, splen-
did beverage when taken directly from the
springs and good even when bottled, added
to the cool mountain breezes, makes both
of these places very desirable for summer
resorts. and many prefer them to the sea
side. Should the railroad be continued to
Sodayille II would become one of the most
frequented resorts in the state.
THE EcLIPsE.-The eclipse OF the moon
came off last Sunday as advertised, which
proves that It pays to advertise, for large
number took extra pains to sec the free ex-
hibition. Doors were opened at 6:44, but
the show proper did not begin until about
an hour later. At 10 O'Clock the earth
was fairly between the sun and moon and
the lights were all out, making It as fine an
opportunity for sparkling as passing
through tunnel. AnecliPse of the moon
Is an interesting sight because not very
common. Iii not qnite as awful as an
eclipse of the sun but il does pretty well
for heated summer evening.
FRIENDLEss.-A gentleman from Scio
informs us that young. Eads, who was
drowned near that place Sunday, was prob.
ably not in bathing lie was found with
his clothes on, and it was thought he fell
into the creek. His body was buried yes
terday afternoon. The boy had only been
around Scio a short time, :sad was perfect
stranger, having no relatives or even friends
there. As the drowning was only witness
edby two little children too young TO ex-
plain matters the manner of its happening
Is somewhat Of mystery.
FAREWELL SERaioN.-Rev. Rominger
on last Sabbath evening preached his fare
well sermon in this city. After vacation
of several weeks he will begin his duties as
pastor of the Congregational Church at
East Portland. Key. Rominger is one OF
the most logical preachers in the State and
will do honor TO any pulpit he may fiji.
No arrangements have as yet been made
for his successor.
A BIG PRIcE.-Mr Frank Conover, of
the Gazette, of Corvallis, was in the city on
his way home from Southern Oregon. He
informed US that on Saturday at Ashland a
ten acre peach orchard was sold to a gen.
tieman who had just gone from this coun-
ty, for $4,000, a regular Los Angeles
price. Prices there generally are very in
lated
RUPTURE CURED.--No charges for cx-
animation or consultation, and cure guar.
anteed in every case undertaken or money
y,af,,ndaJ fSF tg,o ,,,,,,,. ,.,sas t-o.tod r.,
DIR. Porterfeld during the past year in Red
Bluff and Redding, not one but will recon-
mend this treatment highly. Don't neg
lect this opportunity. The sooner rup-
ture is treated the easier It is cured Dr.
Porterfield will be at Russ House, rooms 26
and 27, Albany, July 10th to 3rst.
WHEAT REMATxINc- About IS 600 bush
els of wheat remain in the Albany Farm
ers' warehouse unsold, and in the face oi
the fact that most Of the storers will
have to pay double storage, the time being
up few days ago. That seems sort of q
poor policy to us. Those who have a regu.
lar time for selling, except, uncommon cir.
cumstances surround them, are the ones
who make in the long run.
BUSINESS CHANGE Saturday evening
Mr. Milt Miller sold his drug business in
this city to DIR. l.. w. Guise, recently oi
Kansas. Mr.. Cuise left Sunday for his
former home after his family, leaving bis
son here in charge Of the business. DIR
Guise also purchased the house and lot oi
Mr.. H. Flindt adjoining that gentleman
family residence.
ExERcIsE-Albany young ladies and
small boy 60 in bathing in the Ditch. Fol
exercise it is simply immense. The swift
current makes it bumpity bump business
that brings into play all the muscles Of the
system, particularly those controlling the
tongue The person who sccessfully make,
the transit from Monteith's pasture tc
Broadalbin street ought to be able to wasi
clothes or fight Sullivan.
WouLD LIKE HIM-Prof. Coomer, whc
has SO ably led the II. A. G. band, of Salem
for several years, contemplates leavin,
that city. Prof. Coomer is by odds th'
best cornetist as well as leader in Oregon
and we suggest II Salem does not kee
him that an effort.be made to bring hin
to Albany, where there is material for
frst-class bard.

THE SMALL Boy. The Albany boy noN

idea for which he secured from an Easter
paper. It is made Of plain pine stick
