MnL ARRIVED The new l0-sIamp
mill arrived from San Francisco last eve
ming, by way Of Yaquina bay, and will
he taken at once to the mines and set up.
It is undoubtedly one Of the best mills
OF its grade ever manufactured in the
U. s., and will do paying business from
the start, providing the ore pans out ac-
cording TO all the assays, as in all prob
ability ii will, il not better. This is a
big thing for Albany and the santiam
mines, and the DEMocRAT predicts will

A Bro Wheel. - The Albany Iron
Works are now getting out some machin-
cry for the Salem water works company,
among other pieces being large wheel,
nine feet in diameter, and weighing 1000
pounds, the largest ever gotten out in
the valley, showing the ability Of this
company to do any kind Of work. The
Salem water works company are endeay-
oring to increase the capacity OF the
water supply. There, as here, and in
other places, there is a class OF people
who hoggishly ignore all rules and run
their lawn sprinklers from early morn
until late at night, besides breeding
malaria, materially affecting the power
Of the works in case OF fire. This big
wheel will in a measure overcome this
evil
Nor ALLOWED TO SToP.-As many as
fifteen hoboes have been seen on the
overland going south nights. But for
lice force many Of these men would be
oyerrunning the city. The program Of
the force is for one man TO be stationed
at the junction with the o. p. and an
other at the depot. The hoboes are
watched and advised to continue their
journey. II it happens that they do not
do 80 they are conducted 10 the city Inn
its and told in gentle but emphatic Ian
guage to go. The result is that our citi-
zens are very little molested with the
rascals. This service alone is worth
hundreds Of dollars TO our citizens and
will generally be appreciated.
