A PLACE FOR HEALru.-A writer IN
the Salem Statesman from Waterloo says,
among other things; The soda Is excel
lent. Clear cool and sparkling, II bursts
from the rocks that have wlths,ood the
wear of ages of the grand old San,iam.
Here we are only onc-half hours drive
from Sodavllle, another country village

similar to the one between Minneapolis

TmE CoLLEdE.-The Albany Collegiate
Institute will open ON Sept 9th under
very favorable auspices, offering advan-
tages for students equal to any school in
Oregon. The old teachers, who have
done such good work for the school, will
all remain, excepting Prof III M Mckee,
who will be succeeded in the commercial
department by Prof w w Bailey, recently
OF the State Agricultural College of Texas.
Prot Bailey was recently united in mar.
riage to Miss kittie Cooley OF Browns
vile, and has accepted the position in
order to be among her people. He is
well spoken OF rs thorough instructor.
Prof David Torbit, recently Of the Santi-
am Academy OF Lebanon, has been added
to the faculty He is an educator Of
ability. The college is now stronger
than ever and deserves the liberal pat
ronage it has been receiving.
4 WEAK BaiDoE.-A weeks ago the
DEMocRAr gave an account of how the J
Jordan valley bridge over Thomas creek |
gave way while team was crossing, |
nearly drowning a man and doing consid |
erable damage. II was patched up. but |
continues disgrace to the county. Fri |
day Mr. Chapman, of Scio, approached Il /
with load of lumber. Knowing Il to be |
weak he sent n team of mules over alone. /
The bridge went down, killing one of the |
mules and badly breaking up the wagon.
G III Stewart, of this city, crossed the /
bridge In light rig only a few hours be.
fore the accident
A COUNTRY RUNAwAY.-A few days ago
NJ. Thomas, residing this side OF the San
derson bridge, a SHIRT. distance, had his
team run away with him, resulting In
almost fatal accident. Mr. Thomas vas
-
caught around his legs. He was thrown
down and dragged over one hundred feet,
his head and body banging along on the
hard ground, when by vigorous kicking
he succeeded in gctlln his fee. loose, in
time to prevent Il serious result, but not
until he had been bruised some
Nor ISTERyIEwED.-The Corvallis Ga
zette publishes column interview with
Mr. Ashby Pearce, Of this city, which
gives some interesting facts. Mr. Pearce,
though, informs the DEMocRAT that he
was not interviewed at all, and that the
article contains several errors. The in
teTview Was like most interviews Of the
present, but whatever the source Of the
article il probably is substantially cor
rect. Mr. Pcarce came to Oregon in lS47
and II anybody knows anything about
the valley Mr. Pearce is the man.
PLEAsED WITH THE MIsFs.-E b
of San Francisco, an old time
miner, and an expert in all matters apper-
tanning TO mines, has returned from a trip
TO the Sanliam mines, where he made
thorough prospect Of the ores there. He
Is well pleased with the outlook and be-
lieves the Santiam has good future. Mr.
Burdick Is probably the most capable OF
judging correctly Of any one who has yet
visited the mines, ard haying made a
thorough investigation of their resources
his judgment Is Of great value.
In PoRTLASD.-Mr II F Ashby, of this
city, has consented to distribute free, in
Portland, all the immigration matter
him. This is good oppor-
tunity for Albany to let new corners
know about the gem city of the valley
and surrounding country,as Mr. Ashby Is
a rus'ler and is well situated for doing
good work in that line.
