SHEEP TutEvEs.---The Corvallis Time
has long, abored article on the subject oi
the proclamation issued by his Ezecllency
the Mayor of that city, requesting people
from other towns and cities not to. attend
the second annual ball given by the mill
tary company Of Corvallis, for the reason
that grave fears were entertained that
small pox would be spread In that city
The Times after saying great many hard
things about Albany, as petulant boy will
when nc loses his temper, says perhaps
there was no danger of spreading the dis
case, for II has been we'll said that q man
that would take the small pox from an AL.
banyite would steal Sheep Now let us
see. The Mayor and people OF Corvallis
were SO fearful that small pox would
spread Ia that city that the Mayor made q
public request that parties from Albany
should remain at home. None but sheep
thieves would take the small pox from m
Aibanyite, therefore the people of Corval.
lis are regarded as sheep thieves else their
Mayor would have had no fears about
small pox spreading. None but corvai-
lis paper would have thought OF placing
Corvallis people under such cloud as this.
The Times Is unfortunate.
SErTLRp-corvailis Thursday is said 10
have been n diminutiye Chicago for
awhile. Over three hundred railroad men
were there holding meetings, proposing
and threatening. The matter was finally
settled late In the afternoon by the railroad
agreeing to pay the men and the work OF
cashing time checks was begun and com
pleted this morning. With their pockets full
OF money, about SIC. 600 being paid out, they
painted the town red, as 1t were. the sa-
looms reaplng a big harvest. Men who
cried the loudest for their pay by this
time have sunk every cent of II. What
strange mortais men arc. The railroad
| company Is entitled to great credit for the
| manner In which they settled the matter.
| Had II gone unsettled bridges wes:id per-
haps have been burned and property gen
orally destroyed.
HELp.-Mr. Lewis Taylor, the railroad
man who painted the town rcd the other
evening, was tried before Justice Hum.
phrey last Friday on the charge of an as
sault with dangerous weapon, aud after
hard fight held TO await the action OF the
grand jury under ssso bonds. In the after
noon he was tried on the second charge OF
assault with dangerous weapon and held
under the same sum To await the action Of
thg grand ftsP. ME tsN~ haa
ming pack train. He had SIs7 when ar
rested. and we are informed certificate OF
deposit for $1,000; but this Is uncertain.
Right here II may be remarked Albany
doesn't propose TO be painted red, or green
or any other color, and II will pay for
strangers TO hold their peace.

exists quite smlli pox "scare" In Prime
vile at the present time. There is really
little or no cause for Il. We have grave
doubts Of the existence OF case of small

a CHALLESCE.-"The Albany papers
arc bellyaching and poking fun at the re-
quest issued by Mayer Lee in regard to
the military ball. The Herald says all
sorts OF funny things and calls Us tender
feet, while the DEMocRAT sarcasticaily
says: 'varily they have some very brave
soldiers at Corvallis II you think 'E'
company hasn't got some fighting metal,
they might meet your brass buttoned gen
try half way and fight you to a finish just
for practice. ."-7imes. Come on and we
will agree TO fumigate particularly for the
occasion, and II there isn't some fun along
the Willamette then our name Is not Dem
