Some Albany men are constructing
a boom on the Santiam Just above the
bridge, the object being to prevent
repetition of the damage done by the
high waters of last spring. BY con-
firing the river to the main channel
the danger will be averted.
A reader of the EXPRESS wants to
know who built the depot flue at Scio.
1t has been limited that the fiue should
be reversed, as the head is undoubtedly
on the wrong end. liz contradicts the
laws of nature; the smoke, instead Of
ascending, settles in the waiting room.
Lebanon has her complement of
weather prophets, and as usual their
predictions differ just enough to insure
variety of weather for the winter
months. 1t is q consolation to modest,
weather-abiding citizens to know that
seIf-constituted weather bureau is not
always reliable.
A gentleman showed us a specimen
of coal this week from a mine lying
thirty miles east of Lebanon on the
Santiam, which bears a closer resem-
blance to anthracite than anything we
have yet seen. The quality of the coal
and the extent of the vein warrant an
early development.
We are told that the past summer
was a very successful season for Soda
vile. The hotel accommodations are
good at this place, the surroundings
are delightful, the medicinal properties
of the water is beyond question, and
anyone seeking health or recreation
cannot afford to miss this resort.
Imperfect digestion and assimilation

| Two ladies called at this Office Mon
/ day and asked for envelopes, which
would have been given them had they
not with the next breath asked for
stamps. While we would be glad TO
share the honors of the postmaster, we
/ had TO acknowledge that we deal in
nothing but cancelled stamps, and they
are mostly of the one-cent denomina-
ton.
We overheard two business men
talking about Isebanon's future. Both
of these gentlemen placed our popuIa-
ton, a few years hence, at from five TO
seven thousand. One of the gentle
men-and by the way he has no inter-
ests here that we are aware of-placed
/ the population at l5 900 in the event
that certain conditions are fulfilled,
and these conditions are not improba-
bic by any means.
J. l.. Cowan brought the gold brick
to Lebanon Tuesday, which has been
on exhibition in Albany for several
days. This is only an earnest of what
the Albany mining company will get
out of their mines on the Santiam. If
any of our citizens are afflicted with
sore eyes, cross eyes, or have been
/ looking through smoked glasses, a look
at the treasure VIII not hurt YOU, and
| it may possibly confirm you in the be-
lief that the Santiam mines are lust
! what they have been represented to be
rich.
/ While in Albany last Saturday f.
| NJ. Redfield took us to the new bank
and Mr.. Merrill kindly showed us
through the building. The building
is finished throughout with Oregon
wood, combining the ornamental and
the durable. The architect of this
building, whoever he may be, has by
the happy combination of Oregon tim
bers. demonstrated our superiority over
every State in the matter of building
material. We seriously doubt if there
be another building in the State so
handsomely finished as this one.
Montague must be preparing for a
boom, Judging by the way he is stock
ing up his Mammoth and One-Price
Cash Stores. BY purchasing his goods
| in such large quantities he naturally
gets much lower prices. He guaran-
tees good goods in all the departments
of his extensive establishments at
/ prices that absolutely astonish other
merchants in the valley, some of them
retails his goods as low as they buy
them at wholesale. The careful buyer
invariably goes TO Montague's.
We heard man say that Union
1 Hall was so crowded at the last meet
ing of the Lebanon Literary Society
+ that he could get no seat. The, election
of officers was held Monday evening,
followed by an interesting program
/ The question for discussion read, "Re-
solved, that foreign immigration
should be restricted.'' The affirmative
were victorious. The question for dis
cussion next Monday evening reads,
Resolved, that the pulpit affords a
greater field for eloquence than the
bar" The newly-elected officers are
Rev. A. Marcellus, president; Miss Ada
Miller, secretary; w. G. Peterson,
treasurer.
The One-Price Cash Store has be-
come one of the features of Lebanon.
As everything is new and fresh, and the
prices are so much below that charged
in eredit-giving establishments, peo-
pie who desire to buy their goods
for cash naturally go to the corner,
where they do not have to make up 10
the storekeeper for the non-paying Gus
toners who, when they can do so, buy
on credit, and who are constitutionaIly
opposed to paying for anything. Get
prices at the One-Price Cash Store and
if there is any reason in you that is the
place where you will purchase your
supplies.
