ScIo.-Mr Coin has leased the rail-
road from Munkers to Se,o and an engine
to use thereon and will soon be carrying
freight and passengers between these
points. This will be great convenience
TO the people of Scio and vicinity. And
now comes the Press aud suggests that a
telephone line to connect the Western
Union line with that city. Why not ask
the Western Union to extend theh line to
Scio and establish an office there We
think this move could be accomplished
Another matter OF greater importance
than this is talked Of The friends OF the
boys and girls Of Sclo want to unite the
two school districts into one, build u good,
commodious school house and have a
first class graded school. While the
DEMOCRAT mas no disposition TO NEEDLE
with that matter vet Il is safe to say that
no more coumendable enterprise could be
carried through than this. Nothing
would so build up the town and enhance
the price of property as move of this
kind.
a Fool BUNcoED.--L ID Spear, now OF
Grants station, but formerly OF fendIeton,
where he was engaged iu the grocery bus.
iness,was victimized the other day by con-
hdeuce men, While on the train TO Port
land he fell In with a young man with
trick knife, who conflentially showed
him how to open Il. Attcrwarl an old !
fellow,apparently a stranger, appeared, ex- |
amired The knife and offered To bet 81 900 |
that he could open Il, which wager the /
young man said he would take on reach |
ing Portland Spear, after much pleading. |
was SLOWED share In the 'tSurc-thing" /
bet. AT Portland he put up 5000 In the /
young mans hands, and the Sharpers, old |
and young disappeared from his vision
also his money. all IN shihgiu. twenties. /
Spear notified the police, but his efforts
we're Of TO avail. He lived in this country
some time and has large ranch between
Pendleton and Echo.-E o.
ALBANY IL Ir.-The article in the Or
egonian's big commercial issue, pub
lished the day Sara Bernhardt was in
Portland, referring to the wonderful ad-
vantages Albany possesses in shipping
matters, which WIS copied in .he Demo-
Graf. now appears in the Iron Age, Of
New York, the leading paper in its field
in the U. s. As published it makes Al
bany the central figure in il, and for this
city is the best writenp that has ever
appeared in an eastern paper. The ar
ticle referred 10 shows that an Albany
man can buy nails in Portland, reship
from this city to Drains and make "a
cents keg over shipment direct from
Portland TO Drains.

THOSE BED BUGs.-Speaking Of bed
bugs in the insane asylum the DEMOCRAT
is informed that DIR Harry Lane used
several tons Of bed bug exterminators,
and still they wouldn't leave, that he
furnished towels; but the trickier
patients tore them mp and disposed OF
them as fast as furnished, until it got
tiresome that he ordered the seventy
bedsteads himself that DIR Rowland put
in the asylum, sometime before he left,
and that the patients instead Of sleeping
on the floor slept on very heavy hair
mattresses. We mention these things in
order to add interest TO the controversy.
THE BRrDGE.-Twenty piles was the first
days record Of bridge building but the
superintendent says he will increase
this considerably. A fact good many |
people do not know in connection with |
the bridge is that the Benton county |
approach begins directly opposite Ferry !
street, and DIVORCES two blocks TO Gala |
pooia. Mayor Cowan has handsome |
picture oil st Louis cantilever bridge, |
after which this is patterned, that speaks |
for it's appearance, Az no ialsework is |
needed for such bridge the matter Of
high water will not amount 20 anything
after the piers are up.
a LIVE WoMAN.-The Marsbfeld Sun
says: Mss Moliie Lehman Is engaged as
principal of the Harney school on salary
of SI7o per month, and has an Oxford
graduate for an assistant. She was
elected supehntendent.of public schools of
HaIney county, but under the fool laws OF
Oregon she could not qualify and had to
have a man stand up and becon sponsor
Or igure-head for her, and Is deputy"
only, In name, but saws she doesn't care
so long as she gets the pay. After her
term of Office expires she will visit the. bay
and then go east for season.
WEBSTER IEDIcTED.-Last week at
Empire City, Mr. A ID Webster WAS in
dicted by the grand jury on the charge
Of murder for killing Robert Fales. The
case was continued. Webster will make
an effort to get change Of venue.
The Mail says that on the case being.
called the defendant looked pale and
thin and as the district attorney read the
indictment the prisoner was extremely
nervous and kept pulling up his pants in
an excited manner. Attorney Phillips
and Siglin appeared for the defense.
A WoNDERFUL DYNAMo.-At the Port
land exposition in the machinery hall
nothing attracts more attention than the
dynamo OF Mr. Crouch, Of Eugene. MI
Crouch is present himself and handles
