WHEN APPRECIATED. - The press Il
never so thoroughly appreciated when
II Is desired to keep something out Of a
newspaper. Then people who have no
use for newspaper when 1t costs any
thing are its greatest friends for the time
being. There are occasions when a
newspaper may, with propriety, grant
the request without deserving being
accused Of being tampered with. Take II
rs rule and the press Is more outspoken
than masses, aud most newspapers lead
rather than follow. The honest paper,
though neverkeeps silent for considera.
tlon but because the circumstances jus.
tify IL. As IL Is there are no doubt many
things made public that might better be
kept out o: print.
THE EXCHANGE CoRSes.--Some Of our
citizens would open their eyes in wonder
IL they could hear the curious forms into
which their names are twisted by the de-
livery boys ~ho exchange parcels Mt the
DEaocRAr corner. We have a circus
several times day. The boys are all
nice fellows; but they should use all
possible care as 10 how they keep parcels
intact so that the whole package will
reach It's destination. Being a delivery
boy is not all poetry, and when the mum.
Der OF places they are Obliged TO visit
with small parcels that could be carried
In ones pocket Is considered the public
should have charity for their mistakes.

LEBANON. = Already there are four
dwellings and two barns under conslruc-
ton, which is a very good beginning, con-
sidering the scarcity Of lumber.
J 7 Myers, Of Nebraska, who came to
Lebanon Monday 10 organize building
and loan association, left Wednesday
without having accomplished his pur-
pose. III you want TO invest your money
in such an association, organize one
yourselves
At business meeting Of the members
OF the Baptist church, Tuesday, the
building committee was instructed 70
buy two lots Of NJ A Miller, on Bridge
avenue. A church costing $1,000 or s..7O0
win be built this summer.
VIM Costello, conductor on the fret
railroad train that ever pulled into
Brownsville, was in Lebanon last Friday
in the interest Of a life insurance COM
pany.-Express.
HE Cor IT.-An Albany young mar,
who Is quite fayorite with the ladies, re-
Gently, while In a good liumor, ordered
hat for himself at one of the millinery
stores, telling la glowing terms what kind
OF a hat he would want to wear. Hc was
considerably astonished day or two ago
TO receive a suitable hat trimmed IN the
latest style, one that would shine on
Easter, at his bachelor rooms in this city.
We are informed privately that the first Of
the month he will receive bill that would
make even an experienced married man
buck at the price.
A GROWING TowS.--A DEMOCRAT man
paid visit TO Lebanon on Thursday and
was much surprised and pleased TO see
the many evidences OF healthy growth in
that beautiful town. Much. machinery
for the paper mill is now being received
and that important industry will be in
full blast by the first Of August. New
houses In all directions are TO be seen
and q go0dly number are in course OF

one OF the best towns in the valley.
CHANGE oE TIME TABLEs.-The North
ern Pacific time table was changed yester-
day SO that the trains arrived an hour and
half after the overland left for California.
This will cause change on the Southern
Pacific, and trains will either arrive con-
siderably later or else earlier. The COM
pany has made no announcements; but II
Is thought It will be earlier, leaving Port
land about 4 O'Clock and getting into Al
bapy at Sc'clock, the time year ago. The
change would be welcome one.
THE GENERAL REPoRT Is that the Or
egon Pacific will go ahead. and ever
though 1t prove a slow matter, 1t shoulc
always be considered In connection with
Albany's future importance, and also ths
Albany & Astoria should be kept III view
Both are future certainties, the only un
certainty being the time. Those who pir
their faith to Albany In the long run will
reap good harvest
