Cur TuRoArs, A rendleton paper says
Robinson's circus il accompanied by u
big crowd Of the worst cut throats ever
in the northwest, the shell man, the ber-
ry mar, etc, all being an hand. As us
ual lot OF smart alccks tried to beat
the strangers and several hundred dol
lars were captured. Such open robbery
should not be allowed, and right here We
ask why il cannot be prohibited when
the circus reaches Albany. At least
these thieves should not be licensed, even
though they ask for the license under
some other name. All the same, II nj

greatly increasing business OF the Al

ISDIcATEs WHY.-A single page in an
issue Of the Century taken for advertis-
ing purposes cost $500, and in Harper's
400. A yearly advertisement in one
column Of the Chicago Tribune costs 500
554 for the lowest and $3.50 900 for the
highest priced columns. These figures
would doubtless be of interest 10 men
who invest 81 or 50 and hatter them
selves with the idea that they are extern
siye advertisers, and also 10 those who
so frequently ask Why country papers
cannot be printed as cheap az city
papers,
MgT WTn GUNs.-The DEMOCRAT pub
fishes every item it runs across about
former Albanians, hence the following
from Tacoma:
Colonel Paul d'Heirry, who is one OF
the counsel for Mcbride in the suit
against the u S land office for patent to
school section 16, under the mineral act,
was in the city to-day, and visited the
disputed section. He says he was met
by six armed deputies and was not al
lowed on the land, and that Mcbride
will sue the Ledger, OF this city, for dam
ages for an editorial which appeared in
the paper this morning."
SLOW TO srART.-The oregonian COM
plains that July is wearing away and still
no construction work has been done on
either Of the three railroads TO be built
out Of Portland this summer, which re.
minds us that Albany is not alone in the
matter OF railroad building. Some peo-
, pie growl because the o Z is not going
ahead; but it seems that several other
roads are also slow about starting which,
in fact is the history OF railroad building
generally.
PosT 40 BILLs.-The Albany Electric
Light Co has put the ominous sign or
their electric poles, to "post no biIls,'
previously knocking down all the old to.
bacco, COW brand soda and other tin ant
pasteboard flashy signs. Could the fly
young men with their magnetic ham
mers see this work of vandalism the,
would no doubt be filed with wrath
The tin signs are said to be great nui
sance to climbers, hence the movement
