Then the head OF ten-year.old urchin
emerged where the foot had been, and

migrants to come and see Albany and the
surrounding country. Mr.. Asbhy informs
Us that the hotels there are full OF Seattle
and Tacoma real estate men, who use
every means TO induce immigrants 10 20
to those cities. They lie like troopers about
the Valley, declaring that Il Is under water,

there. This Is better country than that
and we must get IN and rustic rs much as
Sound people do.

BLowS FROM CASsoS.-The London
Tines Is of the opinion that man blown
from canncn's mouth suffers less than
one who Is hung. With all due Difference
