4 After the puullehtion OF the above fait
rication Mr. doodenouRh called at the
| DEmocnAT office and 10 him the proprie.
| tor said his information was obtained
| from Major w @ Cassell who the scribe
claimed had called ut the Office and read
letter TO him, In tho presence Of others,
setting forth the alleged facts. Mr. Gas.
sell, however, informed Mr. doodenough
that he did not go 10 the DEMocnAT office
or read any letter in their presence. Mr
! Cuesell authorized Mr. do0denough TO use
the above statement, and To say further
that hc went 10 Astoria and was more
iithan pleased with the property, and will
purchase more. The item was evidently
| the creation os the DEMocRAr mans fam
ciful brain and would not have appeared
had Mr. Goodenough given him rs centa
worth Of advertising. II might be good
plan for people TO- keep their eyes OPEN =
when dealing with little one-horse news
papers, irresponsible, and whose obscur-
ity leaves them no influence 70 lose,
The above appears Ia the rotten COM
osrn on First sirect,and refers 10 an item
about m auction sale oI Astoria property,
which though extensively advertised In
the rotten sheet, mot person was present
at the sales, The Herald man, who has
never been known % tell the truth ,fabfi-
Gates ~ uaual, backed by Mr. Goodenough,
The statement that nnMopRAT man told
Mr. q. that Maj. Cassell read the letter In
the DRMocRAr Office Ii false. Nothing oi
the kind was told him. Major CaaHell
read the letter In First street business
place, and the DEaooRAr man didn't even
say he was present. The letter read
substantially AZ stated, that "Powell's
addition might make a crop OF did poor
hay, and IN high tide would swim COW. y
This was not denied, simply that II wasn't
read In the DEMOCRAT Office. A eontemp-
tible evasion. Another man told DIV
ocRAr man yesterday that he rode In a
boat last winter over this same addition,
When the tides are down II may present
. fair appearance, Our people need 10
keep their eyes open In earnest on all
such schemes brought from other cities.
We should exert our energies In building
up Albany and not In investing In tide
lands In distant parts, even when advised
70 by rotten sheets with no Influence nor
character.
WHAT STgvKNS SAin.-Mr Stevens
superintendent OF construction on the
Oregon Pacific, was in Salem yesterday,
and being seen by a Statesman reporter
stated that the work OF iraek-laying
would be commenced on the eastern ex-
tension of the Oregon Pacific ~ about q
month, and thea be pushed - rapidly ~
possible with IN extFa large force Of mon
through the entire summer. They ex-
| p:et 10 be able 10 cross The summit and be
good many miles beyond. In The neigh
borhood of the Des 1'hutes river, before
winter shall again have put cessation to
the work Of the railroad. Had this winter
been no worse than the one before Il men
could have worked constsnlly, but the
snow In The mountains Wrought them 70
an early stop. In the mountains a. far as
the track Il laid there l. tso feet Of snow
oa the level. and higher up where only
the grade has been completed there Is
| about shree feet. II IL slow TO melt, but
The superintendent gives II a. hls opinion
that they can be at work building the
track IN another manth. Al this rate II
will not be long before this big transcon-
linental road will be running Its cars
through to Eastern connecilon.-Slat

Fus IN HRowssyiLLE.-Brownsville has
been having time over the saloon quea
tion, and the result Is q saloon in theil
midst before they knew Il. A correspond
ent 10 an exchange puts II in this light
"The situation In Brownsville in regarc
TO the saloon license Ia decidedly funny,
The prohibition element Is very angri
over the action Of our council, while th'
devotees Of the flowing bowl eip their bug
Juice with q acotnnlaeent smile and .ou
city dads are scratching their heads In |
perplexed way as II they had iorgottel
something. Perhaps the reason that ou
council did not act sooner or that ques
tion was that they were waiting Tor
learned professor from Europe to ciphe
the meaning OF the ticket upon whicl
they were elected. The ticket read hig
license and Is in harmony with the acticI
OF the council. Some people say that
was q stralght-out prohibition ticket
other words prohibition under false co
/ ors. The whole thing il ridiculou
a farce and the less said about 1t the bette
! II we elected council on a high licens
/ issue and expect them to make prohib
Ition lawswe expect them TO do soihethin
tcohtrar y to the principles upon whie
: they were elected
II BAD ENacGH.-Alded by band and III
= free advertising of the DRMocRAr, not r.
lceiving any other worth mentioning, ii
II Astoria sale OF tide lands was attended la
u Saturday by crowd that quickly thinne
re After complimensing the DRMocRAr Il

a. hart one at 500; Mr. Barrett one at
1t Mr. Lange's baker, one at VI; Doc Co

at yet no doubt they are high enough el
