A LoSo SACK Nnxpnn. :

, TO get railroad started, but II takes lont
sack to build Il pilot.
The above offers good test for mod.
ern sermou. There Is lots of blow and
bluster In this world that Ia done simply
for effect, In short II Ia done for the pur-
pose Of obtaining goods and IL cass OF
gettlng something under false pretensss,
which IN law Is crime. The booming
city that seeks 10 secure immigration by
false pretenses commits as much Of q
crime as the man who borro@s money by
making false representations. That sounds
fierce, but |, can be dlgesied. Albany Is
not saint but II eoales closer TO having
told the truth In Its statements to secure
Immigration than most any city In the
universe. The fac. Is the city has 10 a
great extent advertised Itself. Its location
and natural advantage, It's railroad pros
poets and general transportation privileges
are 80 marked, that they attract attention
Of themselves. But what outside adver..
tislng the city has done, Il may be said has
been OF a very tempered nature. The text
suggests that we should always use Hub,
stance instead OF wind
SKppEp.--A mulatto, answering to the
name OF Geo Smith, has been working for
several months past at derry Horns barber
shop blaeking boots and cleaning elothing.
Friday evening he negotiated numerous
loans from his customers and acqualn,anees
10 sums OF from so cents to SIS. With the
funds thus realized he proceeded to test hia
chances In the yulgarly named gam. stud
horse poker. Its star was not IN the as
eeudnnt however. and The last Of his bor.
rowSd shekels had gone from his gaze
about ! o'clock SainrdaF morning, when,
not having the courage To face his nnmer r.
ous creditors, he took a tic pass on the rail.
road for the north. Beware the COON
Eugene Guard.
A BRleiIr Doe.--Ths following Is from

dog deserving i pension "one morning
last week when D Z Hathaway, Of this

herd dog waiting to be admitted. Tied to
his collar was note from SIR and Mrs
X Russ Ell parents OF Mrs Hathaway, who live
about four mites wett of I.exingson, stating
that they needed attendance and phyki-

rem church. The church has for some
time maintained college at FhIlomath, In
Benton county. Recently there was a
split IN the church on account OF a church
Law which says that a person belonging 20
a secret society can net become a member
of that church. and now there are two fac
tiops In the church and each one Is trying
to cnjoin the other from using the church
property at Philomath.
SOME MAaKs.--Theapproach to the Al
bany ferry on the north side Of the river
comes out OF the food full OF debris, With
the grade badly damaged. The Union
Pacific wharf. supposed to be entirely
washed out, was only partly annihilated,
the lower part standing the strain. The
work of repairing II Is proceeding. The
factories along the river front show the
marks Of high water, bat the damage
done was small. Some one suggests from
the dilapidated looks Of the old sampson
warehouse that one more food viii settle Il,
a Coon BEcfSsiso. Eugene man
begins an ad. Ike this: advertising is
the way foolish men spend their money
smart men spend theirs smoking, drinking
and playing poker. When smart men get
dollar they blow It IN that way or salt II
down; but the foolish man spends his hard
earned coin and keeps 1t Ia circulation;
that Is why he is a fool. Now just stop
and think II everybody would stop and not
spend cent for three months, wouldn't
things be lIyeiyS You bet they would.
A DISPUTED QUESTIONING two ole
settlers seem to agree about the food o.
1861. There Is split on the date as wei
as on seseral minor details, such as snow
&C. MT. A.. ~. Mlllcrs Oh Milters, tellS VI
that at that time he was on his way from
California and reached here at the time o.
the highest food, that he kept journal o'
events, which shows that the first rise wal
the highest on the ist day Of December
and the second on the 9Th; but Is conf.
dent that there was no snow at the time
which he says fell afterwards.
i THE B. & j.. A.--At the regular yearl,

report Of the business for eleven month
will be given. 1t will show a fatterini
profit for the first year, and II should b
