HIS OPINION. The Orcgoaias to day
publishes Judge Deady's opinion In full In
the now celebrated Foster case. II covers
over four columns and Is an exhaustive
option, The opinion Is an interesting
document to Albany people who have
watched the case with great interest, and
should be read in order TO obtain an under.
standing OF the matter. Perhaps the fol-
lowing from II explains most completely
the reason for the Courts declaring the
transfer OF the Foster Book fraudulent /:

YAoUtNA BAY.-Col. Parker, of walla
Walla, in writing home to his paper says:
This seaside resort IS fast becoming the
iavorite among the people OF the North
west. There is more variety in scenery,
resorts, etc, han any other watering place
on the coast, and IL has only to become
better known TO be crowded every season.
As II is there are a great many visitors
here and each and all declare /, Is superior

the utter absence of airs and fr!ils among
the people here. As the Oregon Pacific Il

mately with the Chicago * Northwestern

Montana and Utah will make this their
summer abiding place.
CRowING.-Wcstcrn Oregon papers gen.
orally have done n remarkable amount OF
growing over our weather. Here is one
even from Portland paper while por.
tions OF the East are being swep, with hurt.
fui storms doing damage TO the unharyest
ed portion of the crop and while England
for month past has had continuous
storms, 50 that their cropi in peril in con.
sequence, we have every reason 10 be
thankful 10 the clerk Of the weather for his
beneiicence for six weeks past, as our cror
is being fast garnered and Is already, al
least three -fourths saved. We have had nc
such harvest weather previously for years.
To THE FRQNT.-Mr. Chas. Metzger
agent for several railroad contractors in.
forms us that fifty Italians arrived in the
city Tuesday afternoon from Spokane
Falls, and were Immediately takea to tn,
front to work on the Oregon Pacific. BY
considerable rustling, Mr. Mctzger secured
fifteen circus men who also have gone tc
the front, preferring railroad wages and ter
hours day TO thirty-six hour stretches
with only six meals a week, which we un
derstand is sometimes the program will
the circus. There are now about , so white
men and 500 Cinnamon at work on the cx
tension.
SURE THlNGs.-An old gentleman from
the country was telling usTuesday how h,
gave twenty dollar piece for some chang,
Monday, and although he thought h,
counted the money carefully, when h,
looked it over again he was six dollar
short. Funny. A young man from tn,
country, recently married, watched one o
| the games at the circus until he knew Jus
how it was done, and then when he had

Then he found out It wasn't so very sur
after all.
SUPPosE.-Suppose the DEMOCRAT wa
to put in some out of the way corner tw

goods than anyone else he would oe tn

one of the very class who say it doesn't pa

Albany, there is no better place to bu
