LOCAL RECORD.

the Capital JoHrRai, oil Salem, would indi-
cate that one of Albany's new citizens Is
quite model kind OF man, and we wei.
come him to our midst; &c w Sears, an
old aud reliable citizen OF Salem, started
last evening for Albany, where he has pur.
chased an interest IN the Albany Sash and
Door Factory. Ills family will shortly
follow, MIR. Sears has been a resident of
Salem for twelve years past, and no man
stands higher as a man OF worth and social
| culture. His workmanship on the state
| senate chamber, the NJ Il church, Capital
| engine room and other wsrk over the city
are evidences Of his ability as a mechanic
and will be mementos OF his citizenship
for years to come. Ills position In the NJ
| e choir can hardly be replaced, as he has
! musical talents equal TO the best cultured.
| He served six years with idr. Slapleton
and has accumulated some little property
We are sorry to let him 60, but the Josrnai
congratulates Albany on It's success"
VIA ALBANY One of the projects of
the Union Pacific Is to build q railroad
from Ogden up Into Oregon. Take map,
put your finger on Ogden and run line
up into this state. You can't help making
II so through the Mckenzie pass, and
thence TO Coburg, Here tie company
will buy the Narrow Gauge bed and run
directly into Albany, when II will gobble
up the Albany and Astoria railroad at a
round sum and cad at Astoria, where the
ships of the world can find harbor. This
looks fine on paper; but Il Is difficult to
figure out anything else. Thus another
transcontinental line Is to be built. The
DEMoCRAT Is entitled 10 the secretary of
the board OF trade for this electric Idea, a
remarkably good one, and one We predict
candidly will some day be carried cut
This city Is destined 10 be the great railroad
center ofthe Northwest. Il Is already In
the leadin that respect.
A ACREAMERY.-Mr. Mahanna, represent
ing Davis & Rankin, OF Chicago, has been
In Corvallis trying to secure an invest
ment of $500 for large creamery and
cold storage. SaSoo was raised and the
matter collapsed. Some people there threw
cold water on il. Afraid. They have
their $500 anyway. Albany wants
creamery. Does 1t want TO put $1,000 In
II. A big sum but perhaps not too large,aS
the whole plant and man for year goes
with 1t. Other places have invested. II
brings cream to the top and increases cows,
etc. Mr. Mahanna arrived In this city FRI
day, and will give our citizens a show on
the subject. A Salem paper says II wants
such u creamery. Why not Albany ? II
Is simply an investment and rot a bonus.
The cold storage alon- would &c a fine
thing for the city.

An E. o. Tows.-A Union paper says
the following Of a rival city: ia Grande

to wager that one firm in Island City pale

the railroad than all the men IN La Grand,
combined.
