In some Of the counties OF Oregon are
easily obtained, showing conclusivoly
that the law on the subject OF their issu-
auce deserves more strict Interpretation
by the officers granting the permit, For
instance, az Albany, Friday, u divorce
was obtained. and the next day mar
rilge license was issued To one Of the
parties OF tho divorce. The s9lnc thing
occurred in Marion county couple OF
times recently. Tho law Says something
about persons who have been divorced
not being permitted to marry again until
the time in which an appeal may be had
shall have elapsed. But this 10 evidently
overlooked. The matter OF appeal is
waived, 40 o. speaA.-S1lem States
man. Guess Il you look up the law you
will fnd that it is the parties getting the
license Nho are 70 blame. The clerk
simply grants the lj;suts on proof
proper residence and age.

4 BnAya WoNA2.-Mrs Geo Hash, Of
A!sea valley, has more courage ari pres
encc ol mind in the face Of the danger
than the average woman. IL Is only
sparccly settled in that ncighharho1d
and wild animals are quite plentiful.
One day, not long since, MT liash was
absent from home when large cougar
came into the door yard oi his residence,
where the children were playing. The
animal was evidently hungry and had
imagined that smali boy would make n
good square meal. But Mrs flash espicd
the cougar when but q few feet from the
children. She took down the Winchester
rifle quicker than il took 10 tell IL and
shot it through the hams. This did not
kill the animal, but forced il to retreat.
IL climbed a tree near by and Mra iIssh
and faithful dog kept It there until Mr.
Hash returned and completed the Kill
ing. IL measured SIX and hall feet. -

How IT LooxgD.-Bat few Of our cit.-
zens could go TO Salem to see the wreck !;
but all will have an opportunity TO get n
view Of II through the enterprise Of tho
photographers. Mr. 4 e Paxton returned
last evening with ab~ut twelve views
taken in a few moments time. They
show n mass Of cara in all shapes, some
being broken almost into splintc.s. AL
bany men returning from there report
the specticle a3 chaotic one. Under
the engine is hole where McFadden the
engineer was dug out. 4 tramp who
had been helping 10 fire was uninjured
while the engineer and fireman were
both killed. That doesn't look right.
The distance which the train fell was 10
or ~ feet, the tops Of the cars being con
s:derably above the remaining trestle.
SPrrEFUL.-L Last week We stated that
ID Driver had been arrested fer beating
boy who was caught stealing his apples
but he was acquitted, says the Eugene
Register. This week Driver had the boy,
a little innocent fellow about nine years
Of age, arrested for stealing his apples.
The case was tried in Justice Hendcr-
| sons court before jury and the boy was
promptly acquitted. In their remarks
10 the jury the boys attorneys hit it
pretty close when they faid the case was
brought simply through spite. At the
beginning Of the trial one OF the attorneys
and Driver got TO disputing each other
so warmly that the Justice called in the
sheriff to preserve order.
ADvgRTTzE EALBANY.-Every citizen oi
Albany ought to help let the rest Of the
world know what q fine city and what
nice residences and charming scenery VIC
have, and there ig no way in which it can
be done so well and so cheaply as by get
ting come of Crawford & Paxton's Sou
yenir Books, with the finest Of views and
go cheap that everyone can afford them
| If you want your home or business place
to appear in these books call soon anC
they will be taken. Call and see il youl
place is not already taken. 1t will &c.
a Coon SgowiNG.-The best way tc
tell the growth of a town Is by the amoun
of business transacted at the railroad stat
ion. During the month of October tho
business of the Southern Pacific railroad
at this place was greater than ever before
in the history of the town, footing VI
$uo35 .73 Eugene Register
That is no doubt big showing in Eu-
gene; but in Albany itiS not ever average
Here $4,000 10 100000 a month Is
frequent thing. The yearly business 0
the 5 p at Albany will neaGy double tina
Of Eugene. We mcniion this simply be
cause our sprishtly nciahbor has elaine,
to be about rs large as Albany.
Az OLD TMER.-Old residents of Al
bany remember well Of seeing Johnn,
McFadden, who was killed in the LAX
Labish accident, come into Albany hol
OF the throttle Oh one OF the first train
OF 1870. lie was genial faithful EN-
ploye, popular with the public, and kne,
every inch OF the road AS those VIII
knew him would expect he staid wit
his engine, Immediately reversing tn
machinery to stop the train.
