an astonishing nature, and all that Ia

paying quantities. The Albany company
will put In some mills and all will bt
done possible with the present limited
means. A smelter Ia needed and the
business men Of Albany should see that
one IL established at this city. Portland
in too far away. The DEMOCRAT IL IN.
formed that tho. Southern Pacific will
extend their road Mt any time from Leb.
anon into tho mines, easily accessible
from there, on n guarantee of five car
loads Of rock day. II il likely there
would soon be business for ten times that
number. No move can be mentioned
at the present time that will attract
more attention towards Albany and Linn
county than the pushing Of the mining
interests Of the Santinm, with It's mar
velous wealth Of gold and silver lying
dormant, yet cropping out everywhere
in lodges, that 10 the experienced miner,

large capital put to work would produce
u result that would aslonish the mining
world. II IL safe to predict this will soon
be done.

II work has yet been commenced on
the Oregon Pacific In the mountains, no
one ON this eide Of the range has found IL

will be completed To the summit this
year, however willing the owners maybe
To push the work, SO limited will bc the
time for construction in that elevated
| region. still, we have not lost hope
The road will certainly be built over the
mountains and across Eastern Oregon
sometime in the near future. Too much
capital has been expended TO allow mat
tiers 10 be otherwise.

change the course of the tiume which
| should also be done on Broadalbin street
The fact Is these fumes should be either
| pipes or cement fumes. Wooden struc-
lures, continually rotting, are the worst
nuisances imaginable. The matter will
probably be amicably settled. AZ these
fumes are a great convenience in case of
fire there are two sides to the question
Of doing away with them entirely.
