Review.
WcRD From THE MfSEs.-A letter
received Saturday from the Santiam
mines reported that the mill was running
In ine shape, and that the outlook con
tinues to improve. The officers of 'he
company now there are greatly en-
couTaged. Their report that the success
of the mines Is assured l. one of impoF-
tance to not only Albany. but this part OF
Oregon generally. 1t means a big thing
eventually. and that all eyes will be turned
this way soon. Albany will vie with
Baker 'city in the golden harvest of her
mines.
A PECULIAR SUn.-Prineville is a
peculiar town and has just had pecu-
liar suit. The News Gays; On Monday
Of this week our town marshal had
Hiram Gibson arrested on a complaint
that the aforesaid Hiram refused TO as
sist the aforesaid marshal TO carry
drunk man TO Jail. The case was very
properly dismissed by Justice Bell on a
demurrer. This is only another case
that makes the taxpayer feel for his
pocketbook. Good deal like our own,
isn't il gentle Feaderg The marshal has
tie fun and we pay the taxes.
Close TO HIS HEAD. The Salem
Journal tells the following in which
former Albany man was close to a flying
bullet: Near8 o'clock last night shot
was fred from somewhere on the east
side Of Commercial street. striking the
plate glass OF Kiein's shoe store and
badly shattering the same. The ball
perforated the heavy g.ass, scattering
glass all over the inside show window.
When the shot was fred Mr Klein was
sweeping directly in front Of the window
and the bullet may have been aimed at
him, but he has no knowledge Of anyone
having grudge against him.
A BRICK LIVERY STABLE.-Mr T. Sox
is making arrangements TO build large
brick stable, two stories, 50xl00 feet, on
his property on Second street just east
Of the opera house. 1t will have a hand
some business front and be so
constructed that at any time il can be
transformed into stores. Straney &
Moore, now doing business on Fourth
street will occupy it on long lease, and
run a metropolitan livery stable, with
the best rigs to be secured.
