MooDY.-We admit this Moody business
Is mixed up. A Salem exchange says he
Is to 80 to Astoria on January 1, will be in
Salem on the Sd and remain several days.
He is to be In Albany on the I'd, and the
Eugene papers say he Is to be there on the
afternoon of the Sd. The dispatches state
positively that he will open in San Fran.
cisco on January 6. The DEMOCRAT gives
1t up. Itis glad though so many places
want Moody. We all need him. When
such men as Geo. II. Williams succumb to
his influences and take the front seat we
may know he Is doing good work, and it
Is no wonder that in the mad rush for him
dates get confused.
THE FAILURF.-Concernin the failure
of Jacobs & Neugass, says Sundays STATES
man, It has been learned that the firm of ]
G Meyers & Co, with which they are con.
nec.ed, owes over and above their assets
$4,000 to Portland creditors Messrs
Jacobs & Neugass's liabilities above their
Indebtedness in Benton county, which is
fully secured, amounts to $4,000. which
falls on San Francisco creditors. Their dry
goods store at Yaquina City closed Satur-
day, and will soon be placed in the hands
of a receiver.
DoN'r THROW SroNEs.-"It Is about
time for the editor of the Albany DEMO
GRAFT to cease exposing his ignorance by
alluding to the Queen of the Pacific as be
ing wrecked at the Columbia bar. The
Queen Of the Pacific Is not wrecked but /,
running between San Francisco and San
Diego. Read up and keep posted, or else
keep still"-PioRecr. We are perfectly
aware ofthe fact stated; but so far as the
Columbia bar and its adjc ming sand spits
were concerned It was all the same. Had
the Yaquina Bay been as well managed
after striking the sand it would never have
become total wreck. People living IN
glass houses should not throw stones; that
Is all we are getting at. We are anxious tc
see the Columbia and Yaquina bay and
Puget sound all built up, so that we can be
proud of any of them.
LEG BROKEN. - Tuesday, about II
O'Clock, Alex Purdom, who has been assist

from the treadle, and going down caught
between two ties, wrenching it so as tc
break a bone, just above where 1t wai
broken about year ago. DIR. Whitney

Alex has had more than his share of brok
en- bones.
