The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1895-01-18


held at Halsey tomorrow to consider the
county division question. The DSNocRAr
is informed a majority of people there will
be opposed to the move. They would get
no benefit from it. With the county seat
at Brownsville they will be worse of than
with it at Albany so far as that is concern
ed, and this may be said of Harrisburg
and other places along the S P. Besides
there is general loyalty to old Linn. one
os the best counties in Oregon, and as they
study the question they will learn that
there is nothing to be gained, and much TO
be lost.
The division question crops out today in
another quarter, but an old oRc. The DEM-
ocRAr is informed that petitions were
brought into Scio yesterday with one
thousand names for the establishment of
Santiam county with Scio as the county
seat. a remonstrsnce will be circulated
and no doubt viii secure a large number of
signers- 1t is said Senator Johnson will
champion the move.
The result will be the defeat of both
moves. Linn is an economically managed
county, the taxes are about the lowest of
any county In the state and her people in
the sections at interest will not as a body
support any such move There Is strong
enough element with the spirit of old Linn
at the bottom to defeat any sa-h move
ment from whatever quarter II may come.

Has THE BLUEs-Rey Mays, Of the
Pomeroy Independent has few friends in
Albany who win regret his blues. He SAYS:
The editor these days sits in his c6air and
meets obligations by pulling his hair and
| wonders in amszement at coming despair
when all his bills must be met BY foul
means or fair; and all in all he feels very
blue and to meet next bill he can't tell
what to do, for il be dun his subscribers
he kicks up a fuss and he never hears the
last of the big words they ''cuss" as they
damn him and the paper as an old blunder
buss But there's a good time coming
when the editor can tell all he knows oi
Heaven aad He'll, for he'll be in the former
as snug as a mouse and they in the latter,
quite different house. as it is made Il
hold all the good and the other is wher,
they burn no wood. as the smoke Of their
torment ascends higher and higher, the,
wiggie and squirm in the Goals Of the FIR
because they paid not the editor and called
him a liar.
