LOCAL RECORD
SOME LAws.-Gradually we are getting
frark of tho NOR laws

SOME LAws.-Gradually we are getting
track OF the new laws.
Here is one: Within six months the
railroad between Portland and Ashland
must commence to erect end thereafter
maintain Law full fences on both sides Of
the railroad to prevent cattle, and other
stock from going on it, except at road
crossings, in corporate limits OF towns
and in stations grounds. Adequate cattle
guards must be built at road crossings.
II they are kept in good repair, the road
10 not liable for damages. II not. the
owner OF the stock injured or killed must
give the campany 80 days notice OF such
dangerous condition, and II the campany
offers in writing to pay certain sum in
damages, which is equal to the amount
subsequently awarded by trial, the owner
shall not recover his costs. The con-
struction of so miles OF fence on both
sides of the road annually is deemed full
compliance.
Here's another: County treasurers
having $500, or more ON hand of county
funds who do not make "call" Of scrip
within ten days after the amount 10 ac-
cumulated are subject to q fine of not
an act passed by tie state legislature,
which is now law.
A TRAMP AccrDENT.--After the local
train came in from Portland last night
four men, evidently tramps, were seen
by Nightwatch McClain on the platform,
who ordered them forward out OF the
city. They left for the south and camped
"a al 6aff ak
the Lebanon junction. The overland at
1890 stopped and registered according
to rule. The men jumped for the blind
baggage as it started out. Three boarded
in safety; but the fourth fell back, his
right foot struck the rail and the foot
was smashed and cut at the instep, re-
quiring the amputation OF the toes, and
HE head was badly bruised and cut up.
The man walked "a the residence Of
James Elsins, where he was taken in,
and Frank Elkins came for doctor,
securing DR. Maston. the regular S. P.
surgeon, who in the meantime had been
telegraphed for from Halsey by the con-
ductor. The man was properly cared
for. He gave his name as Richard Otto
He was born in Ssxony about IS years
ago, has family in st Paul, and is n
member in good standing in the A o U
W having his credentials, showing pay
merts to February, 1898 He is a cooper
by trade and has been in Portland year.
The railroad company refused to takethe
responsibility of the case, and Otto is
now in the care OF the county, and will
be given good treatment.
OUR lr.-Some one tells the Man
about Town that there are men In Albany
who do the town no good. They growl
too much without occasion. This Is the
case in all growing cities ike Albany but
don't sorry Albany is getting there just
the szfhe. Let new conner reach the city
and these men, some old settlers here cry
about hard times the same as they have
done all their lives, and good citizens are
often kept away. Another thing the real
estate men are reported as all working for
themselves, and our informant says will
drive a man away from the city rather
than not make the sale themselves, and In
fact several such cases have recently oc-
cured. 1t Is time men worked more for
the city than merely fer themselves. Busi-
ness is in healthy condition for the sea-
son, though ''times" generally are quie:
ali over the United States, Europe, Asia.
Africa and South America. Keep cool.
stop grumbling, use plenty of printers ink.
look wide faced. speak well OF everything.
and 1t will become contagious 10 declare
times all right.
