isof local interest. IThough Albany, haI
already been bitten several times, Ia
view OF prospective live times, a presen
warning will be applicable: A recen
issue Of Printers Ink contained q reprin
which stated that many to- wns, especia.'
ly in the South and West, were issuing
illustrated pamphlets describing thu
location and advantages which they
possessed. The statement IL, untortun'
ately, only too true. This custom Is o
ephemeral growth, and, like other insti
tutions OF mushroom existence, Il
already beginning to experience an early
and merited decay. Ihave yet TO know
OF one case where q town, board OF trade,
Improvement company or u number oil
citizens have published one OF these
books without afterward sorely regret
ting IL. Yet II Is quite n natural thing
for inexperienced advertisers, or men
inexperienced in this new branch Of adj
vertising, To sink their money in this
way. II does not attract investors, busi-
ness men, nor manufacturers. But IL
often leaves the town or board Of trade
treasury barren OF advertising funds, and
worse still, II leaves the promoters and
leading men in such state OF mind that
they are apt not only TO be antagonized
against any good line OF town adSertis-
ing subsequently offered or considered,
but against business advertising as we'll.
What they do wish 70 know Is the loca-
tion, transportation facilities, industries,
freight rates, cost OF skilled and unskilled
labor and tax rates OF q town, together
with what other information can be
properly stated within fifteen hundred
words.

that he had good reason to believe that an
article was n type and was TO appear tha,

regarding him, aud II Il did appear, he
would shoot the proPrietors on sight.

thought II would make, and therefore has
no cause 10 carry out his threat. Chief OF
Police Barry should receive his walking

not what It shoulG be.

PROBABLY LosT.--Last Monday ] +
Hill, a young man left Albany for the
Santiam mines. He started from Gates-
vile alone on Tuesday morning. Parties
coming in Wednesday saw his tracks,
where at a certain place he had turned
10 the right. evidently seeking a shorter
route. In coming out he had saved
about an hour by n shorter cut, turning
to the right. Had he turned 10 the left
he would have reached the mines;
but the right track in going in would
lead him entirely away from everything.
When a man left there Thursday he had
not arrived, and was undoubtedly lost.
He vas brother OF M Hill, recently
arrested for perjury, and is well spoken
of.
A BAD FAMLY.-James Poole, Of Can.
yonville, has been sentenced TO the peni-
tentiary for one year for collecting $40
from the county for coyote seal p that
was a dogs scalp. Twelve years ago he
killed Jas 0'Neill and fed TO Idaho, where
he served tenn in the pen for cattle
stealing. Last year he was brought back
to Douglas county and convicted OF man
but the supreme court knocked
it out on a technicality. The crime be-
ing so old it was never brought up again.
Poole's two brothers are now in the Ore
gon pen for stock stealing. They are q
hard family.-Ashland Record.
ScIo.-Considerable stir among our
hop-growers this week, most OF whom
sold their crops. NV Bilyeu received
15K cents per pound, the highest re-
ceived by anyone in this Vicinity.
scio is accredited by the late census
with population Of only 753. II other
towns are as badly misrepresented the
state at large has at least double the
number given. Scio can more than
double the figures given, and not try
very hard either,-Press.
