Idea OF the book Is very good and IL gotten
up well enough but mer coming from
out of the city to do such work should Sc
cure the assistance OF some one familiar
with the CITY, or else not receive any OF It's
patronage, for such affairs as this do more
harm than good Il half done. A newspaper
put up with rush is bound to hayc errors,
but 10 many In book Is inexeusable, and
our citizens should keep their eyes open
when solicited to support the thousand and
one such schemes that are introduced. First

about
SAD AND SINGULAR Some days ago n
family consisting Of husband, wife and four
or five children left Missouri for Salem,
On the way out the husband. In his sleep,
walked of the train while running at regu
lar speed, and was bruised up so as to rem
der him quite helpless. They came In on
north hound Southern Pacific last Mon
day. Just this side Of Tangent and while
the train was running 80 miles an hour
the wife became insane, jumped of the
speeding train, ran to house near by and
informed the inmates that they had muir
dered her husband and children and were
now trying to murder her. The train was
backed up to the house, the woman taken
on to Salem. Brakesmen on the train say
that no railroad man could have jumped
off the the train as the insane woman did
without being killed,
TnEY LEFr.-The Chinese railroad

they were removed to another section

fact not generally known that at Harris
burg there Is not a single Celestial, the h
Of l. keeping them away from there.
WE SPREAD THE NEws.-The DEMocRAr
receives requestsfo sample copies by every |
mail, In every instance the request being
answered, though Is known that II gener-
ally Is made with no idea at all of subscrib-
ing but simpiy to see an Albany paper,
the city attracting attention through the
East. We, like most other papers, do thi
for the good of the city aud county. Few
people, though, realize that the newspaper
gives away more of Its wares than most
any other business In a community, and II
L "a
shouldn't wink at each other about II.
/ RIVAL TowNs.--Salem and Albany arc
rival towns, says the Corvallis Tunes. What
one wants the other must have. Salem
undertook to raise $ss 900 subsidy for
woelen mill and they did II. but Il took
nearly a month of good rustling. Albany
undertook to raise a similar sum for a sim
I liar object and II was done In less than
week. This detrpcts on credit from Salem,
but II shows that Albany Is alive to her own
interests aud that little rivalry is some
times a good thing.
a BIG PURcHAsE.--A company OF men
consisting of Curran & Monteith,J w Gus
lex, L E Blain, A Hackleman, r S Strahan.
W Langdon and C J Stewart, of this city,
Wallis Nash and DR. Farra,of Corvallis, and
] S Cooper, of independence, have Pur-
chased of Coll VanCleve and others tract
of land, consisting of 3Ss lots and half
interest in about fifty acres, In West va
/ quina. II will be put on the market at the
proper time. Consideration, $4,000.
ALBANY IRoN WoRKs.--Mr John Han
shaw has been appointed superintendent Of
the Albany Iron Works and has already be-
gun his duties In that capacity. Mr. Han
shaw Is an expert machinist and will In
connection with his position travel for the
company. The plant will be thoroughly
improved and made as good as any In the
state. A large amount Of work ahead in +.
dicates live season.
BITTER FEELISG.-The feeling In Polk
county Is rather bitter against Beardsiey =,
the Eola murderer now out on S25oo bail,
and lynching was talked OF, but probably
will not be INDUCED in. big petition was
circulated asking Justice Fink, who held
the examination, TO resign, and II was made
so hot for the justice that he fed to Port.
land. Polk county people are red hot In
matters like this, and Developments of
most any nature are looked for.
PIG HEADED.-In speaking Of tn" re-
form school the Salem Ssatesma. gets pig
headed and says: SENATOR Irvine Is going
to useless trouble. That reform school De.
longs In Salem and the authorities are not
going to violate the letter or spirit of the
law for any locality" On the woolen mill
subject It says: arhe papers of Albany
say that the woolen mill subsidy of S7s,-
600 will be raised in week without much
trouble, but they give no fguresyet. This
Is not cheerful outlook"
You MAY DEPEND ON IT-The ore.
, gOnian's "note and comment" says: "The
good people of Albany are to have the
. Brownsville machinery moved there, ane
, will soon be blessed with wooden mill o
their own. Albany is not likely to permi
Salem to get the advantage in any sucl
enterprise. When state begins to hav'
success with manufactures they always In
q crease and grow in capacity" So with
city, and Albany does not propose t
! sleep.
