loads of mules, brought from Colorado In
good shape, and Ave car loads OF workin q

to within a short distance this side OF
Breltenbush's but rails have been laid to
only three miles this side OF that place.
Antonele & Doe are pushing the in,er-

a large number OF men be put to work but
the lndlcaticrs are that during the winter

That Is now. This simply goes 70 show
that railroad building Is necessarily slow,
and even for booming purposes there Is
nothing IN continual prediction OF several
times as speedy work as experience shows
1 to be probable. II Is enough that we are
slowly but surely getting there, and will
soon become point ON great transeonti-
mental line, several hundred miles shorter
than any other.
LOOK Our. Our citizens need to be
continually warned not to patronixe tin
Grant tailors taking orders for San Fran
cisco aud other houses. Albany has three
good shops who do better work, and they
are here where you can use your iawbone

bAny merchants, Leave the tramps alone.
Il builds up the city. Keep your eyes on
these chaps generally who call on your
wives while you are down town and bull
dcIe them into buying things they don't
want. The DEMOCRAT man knows Of an
indispensable apparatus costing over two
dollars that has been hid out OF sight for
several years aud never paid for It's room.
A man has been around the city trying 10
sell a candy receipt for dollar, not worth
seven eighth OF a mill. He told one wo-
man she was spiritually blind because she
would not invest. But of all peddlers
avoid the cheap jewelry man. His stuff Is
trash. I'he worst tramps do not always
come In box cars.

"Mr r Miller, Vice President and Treas
urer of the Gold Mountain and Dry Gulch
Consolidated Gold and Silver Mining Co.,
who has just returned from the mines,says
the surveyor, E ] MeCaustland,oi Albany,
and corps of assistants are now making

probability the survey viii be completed
within the next ten days,when all the estl
mates will have been made and the con-
tracts will be let for the immediate con
struction Of the work. Mr. MeCaustland,
In testing the placer mines Of Dry Gulch,
took FIVE or six shovelfuls of. dirt from the
top of the ground, mixed with grass and
rubbish, and washed II out at a small
spring, and got at least teaspoonful of
gold, and he assured Mr. Miller the whole
property Is the richest mining ground Re

"WHAT's IN NAME ''-The walla |
walla Journal thinks there Is whole lot
in a name Speaking of the Seattle Posi-
Iafeiiigeneey, he says: ats splendid pa
per, but the long handle to Its name will
forever mitigate against It, It always
does. Let paper have long name, and |
Its exchanges viii hardly ever give II
credit for anything cuIled from IT, They |
say "Life Is too short" and let Il go un- |
credited. Let a mar, with long, out
landish name, run for Office, and u nothing |
could beat him, his name will. Let sun /
dry towns run for county seat, or even the I
capital, and the one whose name Is couch. |
ed In the briefest space or sounds the pret |
tiest,is always the peoples fayorite." II
the above ere true what would become |
of the Salem Mining Company.
AR. r. RUMoR The rumor is rife In
Salem again that branch road is TO be
built from Salem to Mehama by the
Southern Pacific. II would be fine
thing for the Capital City. Salem also
has hopes of reaching Astoria by way of
the Narrow Gauge and the proposed Hills
boro line,ard perhaps will IN time. This
glorious valley will eventually be netted
with railroads ; but keep your eye on Al
bany as the center.
A GcoD WEIGH. The DEMOCRAT n.an
saw butcher Weighing hog In a very
speedy kind of a way. Lifting the
carcass from the wagon to his shoulders
he carried II into the shop, stood on the
scales and was weighed with the hog. AS
the hog weighed 763 pounds It took some
muscle to do 1t. The man weighed I67
pounds.
