SMALL.Pox IN PoRrLASp.-Some time
ago the DEMOCRAT said considerable OF
this disease prevailed In Portland. The |
papers have covered up the fact until II has |
gone so far that they are obliged TO give |
the facts. Three have died and seven are |
In the pest house,and no doubt many have |
been exposed. 1t will thus be seen that |
Portland Is In muchiworse condition than |
McNiinnville was, and 1t is In order for |
Sheridan and Lafayette to quarantine
against the city and shoot every Portlander
down who comes near them. and no doubt |
Lafayette would II Portland had ever taken /
its county scat from 1t.

DIED.-Mrs. Duval, formerly Miss In.
gram, whose parents reside at or near
Roseburg, died at the boarding house of
Mrs. East last Friday about 4 o'clock.
She took sick about a month ago at the
of Mr.. Spencer where she re-
mained until about ten days ago when she
was removed TO Mrs. Easfs. Her sister
and her sisters husband took care OF her
little while while she was at Mr. Spencer'a

among strangers to die.
FAST TIME.-The Valley Record pub
lished at Ashland says a: the late city elec.
bon in that town there were 363 votes
cast and that they were counted In less
than two hours. Not knowing how many
there were II would be difficult
TO make comparisons, but We believe that
the election board Of West Albany precinct
has made the best time. AT the election
for President last Tuesday there were 4s3
votes cast and they were canvassed and the
tallies footed uP in 20 minutes. Every tick
ct was handled once by each Judge, one

your money Is at Conn Brothers' grocery
store, where everything Is above board and
splendid goods and bargains are offered In
groceries and crockery ware.
DoSE FOR HIM.-Harrison's cabinet has
already been made up for him, and all he
will have to do will be to take his seat In
the big chair, and there will be plenty
willing to attend to the appointing part In
this connection petitions for the Albany p.
o. may be looked for any time, and now

remain at the Bay and attend TO the ardu-
GUS duties of collecting customs.

more of question TO consider than who |
