The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1890-12-19

n
Cleek, of Crook county, located in Albany
several months ago. His experiences
were new and great. He recently re-
turned on u visit to'Prineville, and the
Review gives him away as follows:
Henry Cleek Is up from Albany on bssi-
ness. He says he enjoys living in AL
bany, but Il Is difficult for bunchgrasser
to become accustomed to city ways an
occasionally he's somewhat put out by
the simplicity of his actions. One thing,
he says, that Is difficult to get used TO is
the electric lights. One of them Is locat-
ed near his residences in the outskirts OF
the city, and of dark nights, when he has
been down town--to the postoifice, etc.
he depends ON that light TO guide him
home, but that sometimes proves treach-
erous. One evening lately he started
for his home, and seeing, through the
fog, dim luminary, he took IL to be his
beacon light and started toward ii, lie
travelled on and ON until he was far out
in the country, but he seemed TO be rs
far from his light as when he started,yet
he could see II in the distance, and he
pushed on until he was exhausted, when
he sank down and in the language Of Cap
Humphrey when lost in the Cascade,
cried out, edo my eyes deceive mep"
They certainly had, for what he had
been following was not an electric light
but the pale hew moon showing Through
n Webioot fog. When Henry discovered
his mistake he got up and kicked him
self u few times, and wended his way
homeward, muttering rs he went, IT is
blankety blank strange what y peculiar
effect these Albany cigars have ON a
