0uR MARKET has been firm for six days
at 20 cents per bushel, although our
neighboring towns in the valley have been
offering only from 66to 81. Unquestion-
ably the san Francisco market will not
justify our figures, but farmers find
ready market ut that price just the same.
This, OF course, places some of our boast |
ing neighbors in an embarrassing posi- |
ton and the papers Of Albany have been |
trying 10 explain that our inflated prices /
has been caused from bitter competition |
and spitework among our dealers. Well, |
perhaps poor explanation Is better than |
none, but the unvmnishod truth still re-
mains that we are paying four cents per I
bnshel more for wheat than Albany
Times.
In that respect Corvallis has tho bulge
on, though it will not last, the markets
really being the same so far rs ttanspor-
tation goes. We suppose the farmer |
doesn't care for the reason so long rs he 4
gets the price, 81 cents net has been /
quoted in Albany for over u week. IL

TnE MOsr PoruLAR.-The San Francis /
CO Examiner has offered prize Of 81 !
500 badge for the most popular member /
OF the Native Sons Of the Golden West, /
OF California, OF whom there are about 4
10000. Several hundred are being vot- !
ed for. Saturday evening W J Wiley /
led with 1926 votes. Fourth on the list 4
was Ill Lunstadt, Of San Francisco, with |
,3e5 votes. Mr. Lunstadts sister is u 1
resident OF Albany, from whom the DEN- 4
OCRAr acknowledges pleasant call. She 4
is watching the contest with interest and 1
the vote in each Examiner received ut 1
the DEMocRAr Office is clipped to be sent 1
10 swell the vote for Mr. l., whose picture \
in Sundays Examiner shows him to be 1
q fine looking man.
PRosPEcrs.-There is nothing like
prospects in this booming era, and cities
as well asspeople have them. Though /
sometimes little visionary, they are al I
ways interesting. The Silverton Appeal, /
as n sample. says: Knowing ones pre- 4
diet that il Silverton's railway prospects 1
are realized, it will have $500 population \
within the next two years" Browns 4
willie is TO have population OF 5000 in a /
few years, Lebanon Of about the same,
realized, in each case not claimed with
out considerable foundation.
ANNUAL ELRCTIoS.-The annual cleo
tion of Linn Engine Co. No. 2 was held
last Monday at their hall, resulting in the !
selection OF the following to run the /
company the ensuing year:
ID r \ Blackburn, President.
DIR o G Aubrey, Rec. Secretary.
DJ Dubruille, Fin. Secretary.
DIR NJ III Ellis, Treasurer.
w + Gillett, Foreman.
A l. Lamb, LIST Assistant.
&c Clelan, End Assistant.
Tue STATE FAR.-The state fair, next
week, promises to be largely attended.
As usual the great attraction will be
horse-racing. The agricultural exhibit
ion is peculiarly a Marion county affair.
The exhibition OF live stock is always
more general and the display has never
failed 10 be n good one. Something
should be done TO make the display in
the pavilion more credItable, though so
far as it goes it is always good.
PoURNG M.-Wheat is pouring into
the warehouses at rapid rate, All
kinds Of rigs raise the dust on our streets.
One Of the most attractive is the six
horse outfit Of Mr. Frank Ingram. Two
wagons are piled high with the precious
cereal. The good sized crop and fair
prices make the face Of the average far
mer assume broadened appearance.
REMEMBERED Us.-Mrs i VI Garrett,
who has been spending several weeks on /
her farm at Peoria, returned to Albany 4
to-day. The DEMocRAT acknowledges a .
call, and the present Of basket Of fine 1
peaches and prunes, raised on her Peoria
arm.
