AN ExsMrLr The following from the
Salem JSaradi shows what can be done in
this glorious Valley In the irui, line as
a Clark and son shipped two ear loads of
dried fruits from this place to-day,one car
consigned to Helena, Montana, and the
other TO Butte City. Montana. Mr. Clark
has shipped in all five car loads OF dried
fruits thus far this season, all seeu,ed from
forty acres OF fruit trees. Sixty thousand
pounds have 80 far been dried from this
number OF acres. Mr. Clark could have
found a ready market for double the
amount OF fruit I've viii have for sale. His
fruit farm Is a success and It's fame Is he.
coming known far and near"
AT LARGE. The darkey Gibbs, who
killed Jas McDeyl tat Portland. has no,
been found. It seems a mighty easy thing
in this eountr, fora murderer TO escape.
The trouble In Portland Is that the Iasealiy
police force has been waiting Tor bigger re.
wards. In the name OF Justice what are
police forces for anyway. In Portland
they seem to be to collect tolls, and keep
their hands behind them for more. II Is
burning shame that In progressive count
ry like this crime can repeatedly go un.
punished as Il does In the Northwest.
A FALSE SrArEMEST.-Th Albany
and Salem papers have stated recently
that owing to Eugene not having public
hall, It has been decided to not hold the
G AR encampment here next spring.
This Is all false for nothing OF the kind has
been thought Of, Thus erroneously states
Eugene paper. Tif,e Albany and Salem
papers did nothing OF the Kind. Eugene
was moss baekish enough to make its H.
license extortlonase, causing its iheater to
be transformed into siores,and the papers
referred to simply invited the 4 A 4 to
meet In enterprlsing cities enough 10 have
large theater buildings for the purpose.
"ME TOO, PkrR."-The following start.
.ing statement Is made In q Salem paper !;
'The Capital Journal proposes to yolce the
sentiment of the people at our next coun-
ty and state election aad In manner that
will cause cold drops of sweat as large as
good sized fat besus TO stand out on a few
politicians foreheads." The DEMocRAr
would just like to know paper that
doesn't propose to voice the sentiment OF
The people. All OF US are going to do Il and
keep your eyes on the fact.
MARRIED AoAIN.-on Wednesday, Oct
s3rd, at thehome OF the bride, I3o North
street, in Portland, BY Rev r
L Cole, Edgar L Eaton to Eateila King,
of Mrs NJ King. We understand
this Is the Mr. Eaton who resided in Al
bany about ten years ago,afte rwards going
10 California, marrying, getting divorce,
coming north, being IN Albany last year
and locating In Portland.
WILL GER THERR.--Mr Johnson, editor
of the TiIlamook Wafehmas, was In Asto
ria recently and to the Astoria Pioneer
said that the people of Tillamook have
every assurance from the Albany & Asto-
ria railroad, which has completed a survey
Chicago & Northwestern company has
furnished the mouey, that an early conree.
ton by rail with Astoria will be made.
NEw BRIcKs-Next spring promises to
be the liveIiest one In building in the his.
tory of Albany. Among the bricks now
In contemplation is big one from the
Tweedale block to the o + temple, a three
story brick with an elevator on DIR Mas
tons corner, the .Oregsn Banks block,
block on bubhulle and Klines forty foot
purchase, Jointly Schmeers brick livery
stables and probably eight or ten others
INCREASED DID IT.-Baker City has
increased about $500. oso in taxable
property during the past year.-Ex.
Such items indicate nothing these days
under our present miserable system Of
assessment. With property at the same
value in a.place like Baker City an assess
ment could be increased that amount with
an case that would be astonishing. A
fluctuation in assessment Is nothing with
change of assessors. A man like Parker
of Astoria can make things bubble though.
A TKADE.-Thursday Mrs. Cheadle seld
to A. Klein and J. J. Dubruille, forty feet
front, off the west of her First Street
property, she keeping the houses, and col
leeting the rents for six months, they get
ting just dirt. They paid for the property
by transferring $4,000 worth OF property
in the eastern suburbs of the city,including
the three houses just built on East First
Street.
To BE ABANDoNED.-It seems pretty
certain that Fort Klamath Is to be aband-
oncd, after all the talk otherwise. A Bid
well soldier, on his way home Sunday
said that the military telegraph line was
advertised to be sold soon, which will end
the matter as soon as the corporai's guard
there now is removed. .--Lakcview Esami.

LoTs OF BooMs.--Oyer thirty booms
have been sent out during the past week
and abont twenty-five men are employed
all the time.--A6eydecn Herald, Albany
has its hands fnll Of one boom, and about the
same number Of men are employed In run
ming 1t; but It Is good healthy one, and
every pody is spiked for the business.
LATE Now. 1T is reported that train
on the Southern Pacific have orders not t
run over six miles an hour when approach

they are late as rule these days.
