yer. People ARE drawing their money
from the banks, In fact, from wherever
they can get it,and all the accumulation

The people seem 30 have become lot oi

IL one town and then another. There IL
no sense In IL. There II no wildcat busi-
ness around Portland. The land being
plated and sold Is needed to nccommo-
date the new comers, and the course II
justified by the rapid growth OF the city.
But then Portland people are engaged In
this land speculation and are drawing
their money from the banks and invest

vativo iinanciers are beginning 10 hedge,
and II ~ time they were, too. There is
nothing TO warrant these wildcat schemes.
Last year we had had crops In parts Of
Oregon and Washington, the winter was
very severe and the loss Of stock very
large and all there il 10 offset this is the
monev brought In by new comers. But
for this the country would be bankrupt
by this time"
Tifg EVANGELICAL WAR.-The trouble
in the Evangelical Church seems TO have
spread even into the quiet streets Of
L.a t.s.aF.
cd according to the following from cor
rcspoudence in the Express:
The Rev Thos 4 Yost has been preach
ing ut Sweet Home and vicinity for the
last two years, and during all that time
has done nothing 10 cause the least com
plant, and has lived up 10 what he
preached and won the best regard Of the
citizens of this community. Therefore
the treatment he received yesterday has
reused the Just indignation Of everyone
who believes in fair play.
Yesterday morning MIR Iost went To
the Independence school house To I'LL his
regular appointment, and upon rising To
give out his text. was interrupted by John
Spring, seconded by one Dracscll, aided
and abetted by Mrs Rinehart who rails
ed such an uproar that Mr. iost left
rather than he made party to such II
disturbance and went to iill
another appointment and his friends
went home The Dutch reaRscmbled ia
the school house to listen to one G NJ
McElroy. Bow mantle.
During the row it came out that the
Bowman conference had sent orders 10
the trustees nt the church at Sweet Home
To lock out Mr. Yost and not let him
preach IN the building. said church, be
il understood, was built through and by
Mr. Yust, he doing far Inoru work than
anyone else in its construction. Now IL
they sent such an order IL stamps them,
in the minds of all fair-mindcd men, as
set Of black.hearted hypocrites aud az
destitute of Christianity rs a frog is Of
feathers.
4 Coon PLAcg.-Thc attention oi the
DgMoCRAr has been called 90 the fact that
4 splendid place for a city park would be
just across the Calipooia. on the island.
The place could be put in a cool condi.
tion Tor walking, picnics, 4ih oi July eel
ebrations, etc, ut n small cost. i foot
bridge leading 10 IL would cost only n
small amount, and the park made - easi-
ble accessible, would make delightful
resort. In the winter, when not needed,
for a short period Of course IL would bc
oycriiown some years, bat the damage
could be easily repaired. Albany needs
Il park badly. one for picnics and as q
cool resort, and among other places men,
toned this Is certainly n convenient one.
In addition others will b. Ia order on the
south, east and perhaps west side; but
this one can be easily attended to aud IL
Is 10 be hoped something viii be done
with the suggestion.
WITHOUT CAusE.-According to the
following from the Eugene Register, Lane
county must be great place for rushing
into law suits wit hout any grounds for
20 doing, which reminds us that that IL a
fault all over the world except in Linn
county a man named Mounts, from
Smithfield was tried last week on u
charge Of selling diseased meat. lie was
tried before a jury and acquitted. Levi
and Alva Hollehbeck, Of Long Tom, were
arraigned on a charge .of killing and hay-
ing in their possession a deer when II was
unlawful TO Kill them. The evidence was
weak and both parties were acquitted.
Monday Mr. Curtis was tried ON charge
OF assault with dangerous weapon. a
man named Eristoe being the complain
ant. The trouble originated over fence
dividing the mems farms. According 10
the evidence Mr. Custis had done nothing
out Of the way and he was acquitted.
a WoMnN TRAMP.--A woman was
around t, C city, particularly the eastern
part, last week claiming that her ticket
had been taken up and that she was put
fsa L. IL
land and asked the good people TO make
up purse. This Is PROBABLY the woman
who has been doing Southern Oregon
getting up purses with which 10 get home.
With so many cultus male tramps around
being fed, perhaps n woman Is entitled 10
some consideration even II che Is a tramp
yet Il Is always well to keep both eyes
open.
The WORD Too MOCHA seedy look.
ng individual, bearing the ear-marks OF q
tramp, went into Rucker's restaurant the
other day and solicited a square, stating
that he was financially ruptured, but verS
hungry. Rucker, in his usual afiia5lS
manner. informed his tramp-ship tha
there were few very nice "chops" lef
