an official tour, has made his annual re-
port. Peter says the meat in Eastern
Oregon is better than the meat in West

mighty fine meat. He couldn't find any
oleomargarine in the state; NE says the
fish are all right, but people who buy
spices want to look leetle Owt. .-AstO-

OUR PoPULATIoN.-.To quiet the public
mind in reference to the population OF
Albany II may be said that the census will
show It to be approximately 1000, possibly
little over This statement founded on
roundabout information, but which, though
will prove about correct Such showing
will be a good one. and the truth is will
be higher than the general run of guesses.
There has never been much cxagperatiou
about Albany. in fact the tendency Is rath-
er to the conservative side.
WILL Be A MAJOR The returns are
allIn from the election held Monday, the
18th inst, by the several companies Of the
Second regiment o n 6 for a choice of a
lieutenant colonel to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the resignation of NJ w Hunt
and the result Is the promotion Of Major
S L Lowell, of this city,to TIE position. !
is more than probable Capt . II Irvine
of Albany, will be promoted 70 the ranl
of major.-Journal.

future mining excitement of considerab
