wuERe TO. Mayer ctsaey.L r Cas,cc,
R z Johnson, u q Eastman aud ( W
Moon, Of Boise City, were In Albsny
Saturday, on their way to Corvalli where
they expected 10 be joined by Governor
Sh 1up. for a conference with the Oregon
Pacific officials. OF course Boise City
people are anxious to have the road 60 10
that city, will offer Inducements, which
Il 4 hoped will secure such a result yet,a
railroad man OF experience tells DEMo-
cRAr man that Il will probably 20 south OF
there a good many miles, Keeping this
side of the Snake river. a. the field the
other side Is already filed by other roads,
and to reach Boise City would cause a
long diversion north. The fact is.though,
he saws, the route Is now a very indefinite
thing beyond a certain point since the ae-
ton Of the G and n W, even In the minds
of the management Notwithstanding
this view there are good chances for Boise
City,and It's importance as business cea-
ter will work Ia its favor.
A SAMrLE.-The following from the
we!eomeis sample Of The way Portland
property Is assessed: sam Smith. propri-
etor OF the Occidental Hotel property, In
creased the rental of his places on Morris
on street, between First and Front nearly
S2o5 per month, last week. Il Is said he
Il assessed but SI2,ono on the Occidental
Hotel site, which brings him that amount
In rents annually, and for which he re.
Gently declined an offer Of $4,000. The
count, assessor is requested TO note the
injustice, u such exists, and act according
iy. IL poor man be assessed at so per
cent, of his holdings, Is there any reason
why others escape al s per cent. of theirs'
wArER TANKs.-Three galvanized iron
tanks whose average capacity is about
1000 gallons, are being made in the es-
tablishment Of ID Clark, this city, and
when finished will be shipped by boat TO
VIM Peacock, who lives in this county,
Just opposite Albany. lie is the garden
er and did the correct thing when he
had the order filed here.-Coryallis
Gazette, One OF these tanks has been
at the dock, and will be placed on Mr.
Peacock's gardens across the river.
Coon FOR YAoUNA BAY.--It is reported
that a project il being discussed which
aims TO purchase the narrow gauge road,
change its system 10 broad gauge, traverse
down TO Yaquina bay along the coast and
connect with the Donohue lines TO Cali
fornia- Yaquina bay seems TO be enjoy
ing a small boom at present from the
amount OF real estate transactions. Being
Oregon's chief watering place, il will re-
ceive quite a boom this coming summer.
-Oregonian.
NATURAL GAs.-Wherever natural gas
has been discovered it has proven an inn
petus 20 all kinds OF industries, furnishing
light, heat and power. There are many
reasons 10 believe from the amount OF
coal in this vicinity that 1t could easily
be secured by boring down n hundred 70
five hundred feet. The experiment is
worth trying for the results success would
secure. In fact the matter is being agi-
tated, and it is quite probable n well will
be sunk in some Of our suburbs.
GArEsvmLE.-Mr Butler and family
left for Albany Monday,
The number Of scarlet fever patients is
ON the decrease.
1T Henness will furnish lumber for
the new bridge ON Rock Creek.
II is reliably reported that work is TO
be commenced at once on the o +.
II M Stone of Linn county, has received
the contract for replacing the bridge on
Rock Greek, which was washed out by
the recent high water. He and Commis-
sioner Phillips were up taking view Of
the surroundings Tuesday.-Cor. States
man.
THREE CopioM CAUSES There were
three commitments TO the insane asylum
yesterday. Mrs Ada Taylor, Of Florence
Rock, jackson county, was one. Her in
sanity is caused by her husband leaving
her without means Of support. Mrs Fran.
els T. Fonts, OF The Dalles,w another OF
the patients. The cause Of insanity is
halIucination on religious subjects and
other things. Robert Nelson, Of Lane
county, was the third patient. He is 81
years old and an old sailor. Ills insanity
is caused by loss Of money.
LARGE OwxERs.-The DEMocRAr has
seen a map of Albany with the property
of the Oregon Pacific men marked of in
led. The amount Of property owned by
them as shown by the red spots, Is aston
ishing, and certainly suggests an induce
ment for the Company To work Tor this
city. About 100000 has been put 10 the
property in cash, and II Is safe to estimate
It's present value at about 81 900, ooo.
The Oregon Land Company has large
amount Of suburban property in Astoria
which, we understand, has been meeting
with ready sale. The discovery OF nat
ural gas near that city has already
caused considerable advance in prices
and some holders have Withdrawn theil
property from the market. But 50 fal
there has been no marking up on th'
Oregon Land COmpany's lists.
AFTER Gas. Saturday evening part
of Portland men, consisting Of Hon. NJ. G
George, r. L. Durham, George Markle
w. G.. steele and others passed through
Albany for Drain. They own consider
able land there and went to invesiigat
the natural gas well, which 1t has beei
claimed has been found on their property
We may now look for natural gas well
in the vicinity Of every thriving city IN tn
northwest. Like the sea serpent at sum
fner resorts they are bound to leak fort
for consideration.
They LIKED THEM.-The sale o, seat
for the return engagement of caroIin

number OF seats already marked off on th
