How Tugboatmen Sleep.

The question has often been asked, "When
do tugboatmen sloepF' In point of fact, so
far as disrobing and lying down in bed,
nothing of that kind ever occurs to their ex-
perience; but still they manage to obtain a
full and, in fact, liberal allowance of slum-
Der, because they have trained themselves to
lie down at any time and in any shape, where
the temperature is high enough, without any
formality of divesting themselves of cloth
ing, and at once dropping off to sleep for an
hour or as much more as is possible In this
way, it may be confidently asserted, twelve
out of each twenty-four hours Of tugboat-
mans life may BE devoted to slumber if he so
chooses, and il, indeed, generally spent in
this manner Kew York World

have a capital we need not be ashamed
Of In advising people to locate among
as.-Aebanv Democrat.
The Democrat, In mentianing the
towns of Linn county, whether pur-
posely or not, leaves out and entirely
ignores the town of Lebanon, situated
in the very centre and garden spot OF
Linn county, second only In size and
commercial Importance to Albany IL
self, and more Justly entitled to be
Linn county's capital than even that
city, which only the Willamette river
keeps from being in Benton county.
For the information of the Democrat
man, we would state that Lebanon has
mere stores, more business, more man
ufactHring interests, pays more taxes
and has more enterprising class OF
citizens than any town in the county,
Albany only excepted. Lebanon is al
80 the initial point or western term
linus OF the Willamette Valley and
Cascade Mountain Wagon Road, and
the Albany branch of the o. X G. rail-
road. Sodaville and Waterloo, two IA
mous health resorts with their mineral
springs, are In close proximity to Leba-
non, while the floarishing community
of Sweet Home, with its fine trade,
purchases most of its supplies at job
bers' rates frona our Lebanon mer-
chants. The Democrats subscription
list IN Lebanon is evidently not so long
as II used TO be.

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-A case of
much importance 20 stockmen has just
been decided by the supreme Court Of
idaho, says an exchange. 1t probably
settles the question whether sheep can
be herded on a range previously occu-
pied by cattle. The attorneys on both
sides received word that it has been de
cided against the CATTLE men. Just
what points the decision disposes Of
cannot be known until the text is re-
ceived. Idaho has law making the
herding of sheep on lands previously
occupied misdemeanor. But this
case, McGinniss ct al. VS.. Friedman, is
an action in equity. The defense, for
the sheep man, made the points that
the proper remedy was by a criminal
suit that the Idaho law was unconsti-
tutional, and that it made an unjust
discrimination between two classes of
citizens. If the decision is based on
the first point it will he tried again, as
a criminal offense, and probably car
ried up to the Supreme Court of the
United States for decision as to the
coustitutionality of the law.
