assessor, as well as all the other assessors,
has received the following from ! NJ Car
roll, Secretary OF the state board Of equal
iEation; "By order Of the state board Of
equalization, | address you upon this sub
jeet OF assessment. The board found the
greatest difficulty Il encountered was an
outgrowth OF the uniformity of the
per ccntum OF the cash valuation Of prop
crty, upon which the various assessors
based their assessments, which fact was
very apparent to each of you who visited
the board while In session and made an
examination OF the abstract OF per centums
IRON the various counties which | had
prepared. The board would most re-
specially suggest and urge that each OF
you adopt as your basis OF assessment for
another year the cash value of property, AS
the statute directs, and also adopt uni
form assessment blank and assessment
roll the forms for which will probably DC
recommended by this board IN It's report.
That YOU all have an understanding TO
that elicit. eitherby holding convection
or through some other means Of organisa-
tion, by which the said understanding
may become universal and be acted upon
accordingly"

NEW MIND READERS A number OF
Albany young men are learning that
they are mind readers. A drug clerk
easily found couple articles while
bhndtolded, his pulse going up to 100,
causing him to shake like leaf. Another
young man claims to have gone while |
blindtolded, and taking hold Of friends !
hand, through saloon late last nigh. !
into an alley, where he found bottle |
that had been hidden. We look for a |
craze on the subject; but it is safe to |
predict none will equal King.
A MAD CHILIAS.-The Welcome saws: |
"A Chilian employed Mt the coal bunk |
ers in North Portland became so exas-
perate at the banterings OF his fellow |
employees yesterday afternoon that he |
whipped out his curvo and pretended. at !
least, that he would Immediately declare |
war against the United States unless the
taunting ceased. He is believed to be
the only thoroughbred ChiliGn in Multi
nomah county"
A Bro THISd.-The general assembly
OF the Presbyterian chucch OF the United /
States meets at Portland in May. Sew
eral thousands Of the representative
ministers and laymen of this church will /
be in attendance from all parts OF the u
$. An excursion up one side OF the
Willamette and down the other will
probably be given them. Albany should
d begin getting her May flowers ready,
and it is to be hoped has the bridge
completed then.
A Rich (. .. MINE.-The first bullion
output from Greenhorn mountain was re
eeived recently at Baker City In the shape
OF three silver bricks worth S3I92 "a in
the aggregate The yield is from a run
of twenty-five tons of ore In the Monu-
mental ten siar-p mill at Granite, owned
and operated bye $ Miller. The mine
which this grand showing Is made Is the
Morris mine, the original discovery claim
of the Gieenhorn mountain section, and
as the ore was taken out at a small depth
from the surface the prospect Is certainly
fiattering one.-Pendle,on E o.
BARFCss NOT BAEEFooT .-Miss Bertha
Barfuss, pretty, dark eyed German girl,
objects to the item which recently ap-
peared In this column concerning, Bette
Barefoot" of Albany, who, Il was related
had been married 10 Mr. Kitchen She
insists tfat the said item referred TO her,
for she Is engaged 10 marry Mr Kitchen;
but protests against the intimation that
she Is "BaTefoot. Portland Tx. The
same errcr was made by several valley
papers, and the DEMocRAr will make the
correction on its part
THIRTY ONE BAD BoYs.-Another in
corrigible youth was received at the state
reform school yesterday lie came from
Josephine county, being the Iirst lad COM
nitted 10 this institution from that county
There are now at the reform school thirty
one erring youths-and tn. school has
bee1 opened less than three months
Statesman. Linn county has only one
bad boy there, henre now has just its
share. Multnomah Is growing the bad
boy county.
An ARTISTIC STAa.--Mr G II Hart, the
painter and artist, has just completed
for the Eastern Star lodge, recently or
ganized in this city, large star, 13 feet
inches from point TO point, TO be used
in their work. 1t is handsome piece Of
work, artistically executed, and confers
credit np he arfiuf Nv Hat Ia oil otI |
work on several other pieces, showing
that his skill as an artist is being apprt-
ciated.
CoULD'NT AGREE.--DOuble houses are
sometimes unhsrmonious affairs. Yes
terday afternoon Jack Brrkall, who lives
in one end Of a double house, had John |
Holton and John Marsh, who reside in |
the other end, arrested for disturbing the |
peace. They were taken before the Re-
corder, by whom the case was dismissed. !
There was talk of counter arrest; but |
very properly tie whole matter was
dropped.
BEATS FISH SToRIEs.-Eo comment is |
necessary on the following from the !
Ochoco Review: George Lyle started |
home from town last Tuesday when he |
noticed one Of his horses Iimping badly. |
BY investigation he found the cause of |
the lameness to be a large nail in the |
horses foot, George had no instrument
at hand with which 10 remove the nail, so
he seized hold of it with his teeth and
drew II out.
TEAR THEM DowN. The awnings, we
mean. They aie an eyesore to Albany
Albany Is no longer frontier town Let
those frontier affairs go. Merchants gen
orally are demanding OF their landlords
that they drop. The best looking stores
are those without them. Were they done
away with generally, the appearance of
First Street would be wonderfully i'm
proved.
THEY LIKE ALBANY HoTELs, Albany
has the best hotels of any city in Oregon
outside of Portland. All the. drummers
say SO. They show their appreciation of
the fact BY making special effort to spend
Sunday here, as they always get several
good, square meals and nice accommoda-
tions. Yesterday twenty-nine CONNER
cial tourists were In the city, beside sew
