LOCAL RECORD

A BurrrR FANun = Tho following ex-
hibitiOa Of enterprise from a Eugene paper
reads funny whoa We remember that they
have been bOaatiug thero about losing fewer
bridges than any other county. We had
no trouble about getting butter in Albany;
"Mr ] O RhinehArl chartered a hand car
lnst week and hired four men and went with
them nm the railroad beyond Creswell 10
search Of butter. He left word at the
utationa and farm houses that there was a
butter famine in Eagene aud requested
persons who had butter 70 bring it to the
railroad. Az he came back he collected the
batter and brought 10 the town about 250
pOands. enough to supply nis customers til
travel opens. To pay foe tSo extra OK
psnse he sold this lot at IS cents roll. o.
Is cents roll above the regular price
JETFxRsoS. oS.-AmOng the msny good

Holt Bros. shipped car load Of maple
umbor TO Albany this ~esk. This firm
ships an immense Amouut cf hard wood
every year.
Every citizen, Of Jefferson, should be
proad Of the fact that there is No saloon.
billiard hall or other gambling tablesin the
city, and the people are moral refined
class, and her example IL worth the atten-
ton Of noighboring towns. No whooping
or yelling Of drunken men is heard on our
streets.
BIG HEAD LISKs.-The Salem Journals
big head lines about the insane asylum
should disappear. At their suggestion the
grand jury investigated the asylum, and
they found that the inmates appeared to
be as comfortable and happy as that unfor-
tunate class of humanity could be expected
to be found, and also said that for a grand
jury to report Il clean and neat would fall
far short Of giving the expressions of this
grand jury. They also simply recon-
mended that the food of the employees and
inmates be as nearly alike, in quality as pos
sible. So there was lot Of talk for moth
ing.
How HIGH.-A dispute has arisen as 10
whether the water in Oregon City was
higher than during the food Of 1861. The
following from the Enterprise seems to
settle the question : "It Is pretty gener-
ally conceded that the food Of ISoo-ex-
ceeds that OF 1861 by about two feet in The
city.and below by even more than that.
The waters continued to rise rapidly be-
tween seven and ten o'clock. At the Phoe
nix building at that hour the waters touched
tie mark of 1864. The rise In the lower
r,f orr nd ID
maintained that the flood exceeded that Of
1861 by several feet"
IT GRows.-It is astonishing how news
will grow and enlarge as Il goes away
from home. Apropos Of this snbject, we
have beca shown letter received by J NJ
Archibald living near this city from a
relative living In Ohio saying that tele-
graphic news received there states that all
the Willamette Valley and most all Of
Washington was covered with food of
water add making inquiries about losses Of
life and property. When We consider that
all the losses In the willamette Valley dur
Ing the late food would not equal the one
hundredth part Of the loss In Cincinnati In
the food five yearS ago, ours at once sinks
into insignidcanee.
OTHER REsoLUTIoSs.-Besid the
mortgage tax resolution, passed BY the as
tessors convention In Portland,the follow
important ones we're passed That asses
ssrs shoule, when they find personal prop
erty In one county whose owner lives in
another county, report the same to the
proper assessor. That all assessment Iax'
be compiled In separate volume, That
all persons In giving a statement of prop
erty shall be sworn and in case the ownel
refuses to make the statement the assessor
shall double the figures. That all proper
~ shall be assessed at Us full value.
