There aren't any winged insects on
Lebanon, but the straw haulers are
leaving quite n surplus of straw along
our streets. IL not only looks bad, but
Is rs well dangerous this dry weather. A
destructive fire could very easilv
originate In this way. The marshal
should look after this matter.

Last Monday evening Miss Mary
Schlosser, one Of Albany's most highly
respected young ladies, elored with
Julius Schmidt, cab driver In the
employ Of Jno. Schmee.. Schmidt
has wife IN Southern Oregon. 1t is
the old story Of romance in which Miss
Mary is the victim of misplaced conf
denee.
Wednesday night six teams arrived
Ioverland from Kansas. They started
May LIST. Like the shepherds in the
East at the birth of Christ who saw
and followed the star of Bethlehem, so
these wide-awaxe people heard of Leb-
non aud her glowing future, folded
their tents and sought ourc city. Verify
we cannot hide the light of our growth
under bushel.
Wallace Il Wallace, of Cioltra station,
did remarkably good work with their
new steam thresher having threshed
in q run Of 3ll days 63,00l bushels of
/ grain, an average of about POOP bushels
per day. Their thresher is the new
Advance, 32-ineh cylinder 56-inch
separator, and was run by l0-horse-
power Advance engine If any of our
farmers have beaten this record, let US
hear from them.
The gas we'll Mt Drain, Or, hes
reached depth of 3I5 feet, and the
work is still being vigorously pushed.
/ Castings to keep out the water were put
down at the depth OF 225 feet. Then
for distance of T5 feet there was no
water. No more casing will have to
/ be put in. For three DAYS the work
progressed at the rate of 25 feet a day,
( but an average days work i'm the rock
that is now encountered II 10 feet.
Some time ago a noticeable feature
of Lebanon was the number of Idle
young men who were the daily
occupants Of loose store boxes along our
streets. Now the opposite fact is just
as prominent. One of the best signs
of eity's growth is the fact that all
Young man, keep your head above the
stagnant water Of idIeness and con-
sequent iaziness, then there will be n ;
time nor room for the termination of
! the seeds of sin and discomfort. Be u
man.
II has become almost a custom for
IN n TO eongregate about O'Clock in
+ the evening along the sidewalk and
almost blockade the way. 1t is annoy
I iao, especially to ladies, TO have to run
i the gauntlet or passing through such a
crowd PoliteneSs should at least re-
mind these gentlemen that the middle
of the walk is not the place to stand
and talk business. Either seek your
room or some secluded spot. We have
known ladies to go blocks around in
order to avoid the ordeal of crowding
/ through these assemblages.
Montague must be preparing for a
! boom, Judging by the way he is stock
| ing up his Mammoth and One-Price
Cash Stores BY purchasing his goods
/ in such large quantities he naturally
gets much lower prices. He guaran-
/ tees good goods in all the departments
of his extensive establishments at
prices that absolutely astonish other
merchants in the valley, some of them
going so far as to say that Montague
them at wholesale. The careful buyer
Invariably goes to Montague's.
The One Price Cash Store has be-
come one of the features of Lebanon.
| As everything is new and fresh, and the
prices are so much below that charged
in credit-giving establishments, peo-
pie who desire to buy their goods
for cash naturally go to the corner,
where they do not have to make up 10
the storekeeper for the non-paying Gus
toners who, when they can do so, buy
on credit, and who are eoDstitutionally
opposed TO paving for anything. Get
j prices at the One-Price Cash Store and
| if there is any reason in you that is the
place where you will purchase your
supplies.

Do you know the latest swindle for
farmers?p asked a gentleman yesterday.
| ;, 1t beats the bohemian oats. A glib
| tongued agent goes to a farmer and
makes bargain with him to furnish
him cinnamon beans, something new,
just out, and for which there is great
demand, in the production of cinnamon
oil, which is expressed from the beans
/ The beans are worth $50 a bushel and
/ he will agree to give the farmer $5 for
each cinnamon tree grown from the
seed he furnishes, when it has reached
thesgrowth of five feet, and he will
