There is no place like Oregon after all,

A MoDEL DAiRY.-Last Sund says
the editor of the Independence West
side, was spent with relatives in Linn
county ON a farm near Halsey, which 10
devoted principally to pasture and dairy
,ng, herd OF ftwenty-three full blooded
Jersey cows Craze contentedly in the
fields. A barn S2xGn has been built es
peclally for standing the cows while
milking them and viii accommodate
twenty-eight at once. Milking is done
twice day and after each milking the
warm milk is taken 10 the house and
there is located small steam engine and
n machine which separates the cream
| from the warm milk. The milk flows
INTO rapidly revolving disk aud at the
side out of one spout flows pure cream
and ont OF the other skim milk. The
cream is taken TO the creamery and al
lowed TO stand n day and then churned,
also by steam power. Mr. and Mrs Rib
elm sell all their butter at Mt Tabor.
Portland, ut twenty-five cents pound
the year around. The butter produced
alone brings them over 800 each month.
The skim milk is fed TO calves, pigs and
chickens. This is an instance OF what
can be done where there is will. In
this case dairy pays better than farm
ing.
NEVER INITIATED. - The Oregonisn
editor Is very brlght,and can see poirt as
quickly as an Englishman. The Scio |
Press stated that the chain gang (meanlng |
OF course the Odd Fellows, often called |
tie three linkers or chain gang) assisted |
residcn. there, and though there are no |
eonvicts nearer than Salem, the Oregonian |
gets of the following. (probably written |
by new editor who thinks Seio holds the |
state peuilentiaIy:l "Sein has found q |
way OF using prisoners that cannot be OBJ |
jected to on the grounds of 'convicts |
versus free labor" Jssper crabtres, a |
respectable farmer living near Scio, was |
taken sick recently, and was unable TO at |
tend TO his duties sbout the farm, His |
neighbors secured the services of the /
chain gang. aud going 10 his hay field, /
shocked up about thirty-sve acres OF hay /
for him. Thus two good deeds were per-
formed. The prisoners were made TO /
work and neighbor IN distress served"
Coal AT HoaE Reports from Spring
Hill, across the river, continue to show
splendid prospects for coal. II Is un-
doubtedly there in large quantities. Mr. |
William Pfeia.r, OF Dallas, formerly Of
this city, owns sixty acres. Some men
prospecting on the place struck n ledge |
Ia by feet of good coal, and il Is pro-
posed to develope it and make something |
out OF it. The prospects are such that |
Albany capital might we'll take II up and |
make Il big thing out OF coal. With un. I
surpassed mines on one side and coal al |
most at our doors, Albany should be |
heard from in these two important in.
dustries.
ANOTHER CoSFEREScR.-Anoth COM
mittee waited on the o. z. officials today, |
but il was one from the Brotherhood Of |
Locomotive Engineers at Portland. II |
seems the engineers Of this road have |
had unusual long runs at small pay. |
They appealed TO the officers Of the road |
a short time ago for lighter work and |
better pay, but their demands were Jig |
nored. The matter was placed before |
the Brotherhood and a committee was
sent down here for n conference with the |
manager. The committee returned 10 |
Portland today, but we have not been
able TO learn the result OF the conference
Times.
The SoDAvILLE X. R.-Articles incor-
porating the Sodaville X. r. Co. have
been fled with DIR l. Hill, w w Par
rish, ii Mccartney, Reuben Dawn, II
w Perry, Frank Davis and Hiram Peery
as incorporators. The line is TO run TO |
the Lebanon JUNCTION, leaving Lebanon
out, some OF the short sighted people re-
siding near that city refusing TO give the
right Of way for the road. From Lebar-
on junction the road will be brought 10
Albany. DIR Hill, the leading spirit in
the movement, says the road will be
built ut an early date. II will be good
thing for Albany as well as Sodayille and
vicinity.
The RIGHT KIND OF a WALL.-One Of
the best residence foundation in Albany 10
that TO the residence Of J T. Wallace at the
corner of Ellsworth and Fifth streets. II

work, first class job. lie pronounces
the stone OF durable nature, easily work
e1. II presents good appearance. II is
! foudations like this that add to the appear
ance of city. The small extra cost Is
small consideration compared with the
solid appearance and great lasting quality
OF the wall
