business, and through the influence o
Miss Rena decided 10 leave home ans
cast her lot IN the cold, cold world. tn,
company, on its arrival In Dallas, as wal
It's wont, rented an old house and hat
about settled down when the guardian
Of the runaway girl appeared on th,
scene and proceeded 10 try and make hil

WANT BoriI, OF CouRsE.-The Ore
gonian is not at all wide OF the mark
when II says the people Of prineyille
want railroad connection with The Dalles
or ut some point ON the Columbia. We
want the road and we also want the Ore
gon Pacific. Both are needed and both
are expected 10 be built ut some future
date, but the people here have been so
often disappointed about the Oregon
Pacific they have almost lost hopes OF its
being built in time 10 benefit the present
generation. Though from present APP
pearances II seems that work will be re-
sumed on this route some time soon, and
for many purposes u viii be the road for
this country, as Il will place the people
here in reach of tide-water and VIII also
make Il possible for them 10 avail them

FRurr ALL RIoHr.-The following from
the Salem Journal gives the situation in
Albany also as nearly "a we eau learn;
"a Journal reporter was informed to-
day by prominent fruit grower that
there has been no injury yet TO fruit Of
any kind in these parts. The late spring
has retarded the budding Of trees 80 that
the extreme cold nights resulting from
ocean breezes passing over the snow COW
cred Coast range have found nothing TO
iniure. A cold, west wind blowing for
such protracted period at this season
Of the year has never been known In the
valley before, but there Is n blessing in
the fact that fruit buds were not forced
forward by an early warmth 20 meet
their death now"
A NEw BooK.-A 3o0-pagc book con-
tanning the charter and ordinances of the
city Of Albany on April has just been
completed, and the one on the DKso-
cRAT's table speaks for the work. The
ordinances were compiled and indexed
by Recorder Eienton with great care, and
the typographical work was done by g
w Watts, in neat, careful manner. The
book viii be great convenience.
