The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1890-09-19

Illinois, representing several well-to-do
families there, has been in the city
looking around, and is much pleased
with this section OF the state, in fact has
been surprised at things here. AT Port
land he was met by land sharks and cut
thIoats under different guises, from not
only the Sound cities, but from Portland
as well, the universal effort being to get
him 10 stay in Portland or 20 TO the
Sound. Men there-may God have mer-
cy ON their rotten bcings--told him in
earnest that there wero nothing but In
dians up here, and that in the outskirts,
at night, IL was necessary 10 build fires
20 keep the lions, cougars and other wild
animals away. Though the Oregonian
has said lately that Portland would stand
in with the valley hereafter, rs a matter
Of fact, people there generally are work
ing against tho valley; for Portland first,
and the Sound second. Any other yer-
sion is merely tafly. Portland rung the
whole state in to help it get recount;
but In the building up OF the state il
works against every other part.

John Porter got two or three ribs broken

EXPENSIVE Buo EXrEaNISAroR.--Af few !
weeks ago gentleman living near Ante I
lope, whose house was infested with bed /
bugs, sought to destroy the vcrmin by |
burning sulphur in the house, and by /
some mishap the house caught on fire, |
and il was with difficulty that the build /
ing and contents were saved from des- I
truction. As il was several hundred I
dollars damage was done the house and I
furniture. The premises were insured
In the State Ins Co, and the adiuster for
the Co, Col W + Helm, suggests that
parties holding policies in the State !
adopt n less dangerous method for des-
troying bugs.-Ochoco Review.
A DIAMOND nuEF.-Train men report
that last night, at Baker City, woman
stole diamond necklace valued at $500,
from another woman, donued boys
clothing, and accompanied bv another
woman who wore the usual feminine at.
tire, went to the depot to board an east
bound train. IL was intended that they
should play the part Of mother and son,
and they would have made good their
escape, but the train was twenty minutes
late. Suspicion was diverted 10 them
and they were arrested by officers, re-
sulting in the discovery Of the necklace.

NEXT MoSDAY.-Pueblo Chieitain, ,Pue-
bio, Colorado, says The Cakes Swiss
Bell Ringers and Comedy Sketch Club
gave two excellent performances at Dere-
mear's opera house yesterday afternoon
and evening. The performance was a
success from beginning TO end. One
minute the audience would be filed with
rapture by their harmonious and mar
vellous music, and the next convulsed
with laughter by their nonsensical MIN
icry and mirth. Ii is an exceptional
company and they will find it profitable
to return again.
CoMNG To A HEAD.-Nearly all the o
p men are congregating in New York
City, where the future policy Of the
road, il is probably correctly stated, will
be settled. III the present management
can get the money for which bonds were
issued, they will continue the road them
selves, If not they will turn il over to
the men who have the money, at least
give a controlling interest to them. The
matter is undoubtedly coming 10 head,
and the sooner the better. $5,0O0OO0
put into the extension Of the road would
be an immense thing for this valley.
SAND BARs.-Another ship is stuck on
n sand bar between Astoria and Portland.
Unless a railroad is soon built TO Astoria
or a channel dredged from Portland down
aship will be as rare sight in the Co
lumbia river as in Baker City. Within
six months il will be impossible TO get .
anything larger than a skiE to Portland.
Pioneer. This reminds US that the /
sand bars between Albany and Portland
should be removed. Give US an open
river during the summer as well as dur
ing the winter.
A SERIOUS RUEAwAY.--Lagt Sunday
Mrs RAIDER and her son were driving in
a buggy on the Corvallis road beyond
the Calapooia bridge, when their horse
became frightened and ran away, tip
ping over the buggy, throwing both out.
Mrs RAIDER, a widow, was uninjured but I
the boy was quite badly bruised, though /
no bones were broken. The region Just /
beyond the Calapooia bridge seems TO be |
q fayorite place for tip overs and fright
ening teams.
WAS Nor SrMoN.-A telegraphic dis
patch recently published In the Oregonian |
stated that s 5eitenblch, a merchant Of I
Spokane Falls, had been robbtd by an |
"adventuressp In New York of $1,000 ]
This story was published as long ago as
January 4, 1890. But the flies If the Spo-
kane Review show that Mr. Seitenbach |
left that place for New York January IS, !
1890, so, Of course, the story Is false. |
There are busybodies who think it"smart'
and ga good joke" to tell lies Of this kind. !

HAD A Bio TnrE.-Mr Jos Webber re-
turned last evening from his trip to San
Francisco with the veteran firemen. He

day or two, and called in one Of Albany's
old doctors, DIR Boughton, now located on
Kearney street, in attractive offices,
where he is doing good business.
