No CnALGENaE.- members OF the Tiger
tender team inform Journal reporter
that they know nothing OF challenge
having been sent to the Albany team,
and that there certainly must be some
mistake about IL, M no action of that
nature has been taken by them. The
same IL true Of Capitals team, no the an-
nouncemeni in the Albany papers must
be the result Of some outside talk based
upon nothing tangible. le.--Journal.
Az nearly as the DEMOCRAT can trace
the matter letter was received from the
foreman OF the Capitals stating that the
| Tigers were willing 10 run the Albany
team for 800, and requesting that cor
respondenee bo had with them. The
Albany boys, probably anticipating too
much, and warm for race, have been
practicng evenings for tho contest. and
will be considerably disappointed In
learning that there Is nothing In the
| matter nj all but smoke, perhaps iust n
joke OH their neighbors by the Capital
boys.
A MEpAL.--rhe DEMOCRAT acknowl-
edges the receipt OF u handsome lead
medal from Mike DeYoung. editor Of q
| aaper In san Francisco, called the Chron-
| Gle. On one side Is u medallion Of Mike,
| N the other Mikes new print shop, which
| Uses majeaticly nine or ten stories In the
| sandy atmosphere OF the Golden Gate
| City, topped by a tower. 10 IL nice
souvenir but wait until the Examiner
| erccta its fourteen story structure with an
Eiiiel tower on top, then the country
editors will, or should get, medals made
| Of gold with young llearst's blazing eyes
set IN diamonds.
A CENSUS irEa.-The McMinnville
Telephone Register thus talks on sub
iect IL needs 10 investigate before render
ing It's final decision: IL Is necessary for
the newspapers Of Salem, Albany and
other towns whose population has been
expanded to twice its size to now make
the cry that the enumerators have not
| enumerated more than one-half the peo-
pie. Salem for instance claims l0, 900, the
census viii give her about 4 800 or poesi-
bly, 5000. Albany and other boom towns
in the same proportion. McMinnyille
has claimed from 1900 10 1000 aud the
census gives us between $500 and 5000.
