The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1899-02-10

Yesterday was devoted almost sntirely
by our citizens OF all ages to skating, part
les were formed, going TO Monteith's s
pasture and to Thornton 3 lake across the
river, where the best ice was found. Last
evening large crowd gathered on the
Mouteith pasture ice and spent several
b ours in the most invigorating sport
known. Skating is rare thing in this
valley and when it comes it is quite nec-
essary to make it business while it
lasts.
Ice frozen in many and picturesque
forms, in the rear OF the Magnolia mills
has attracted attention and Mr. Lorenzo
Grey as guide has had his hands full
showing visitors The scenery. In other
places there have been presented some
pretty scenes. Some excellent photo
graphs were secured and will be Kept as
mementoes OF this cold snap that Topped
over the mountains into this warm val
lev.
Several sleighs have been kept run
ming anu many have enjoyed rides over
the bumpy roads covered with enough
snow to call it sleighing, much prefsra-
bic though to wagons.
There are frozen pipes all over the city
and the thaw means many bursts.
A chinook struck Albany this MORN
ing and the snow that began falling
on Wednesday of last week is fast being
melted from the face OF tie earth.

Linn county, and gives the following
sketch of his life:,
NJ. j. Allphin was born in Franklin
county, Kentucky. November "a, 1928.
He was a bushwhacker in the Indian
wars OF lS47-4S and 1856. He was a dele
gate to every democratic territorial con-
vention held in Oregon. He always
takes an active part in politics, but has
never been a candidate for office. He is

When we read of an elephant hunter who
has been trampled to death in the wilds OF
India, we wonder at the foolhardiness Of q
man who will travel round the world and
endure all manner Of hardships, in order to
court death in a far away jungle. man
does not have to make journey to India
In order to court death in a manner equally
foolhaTdy.
Thousands Of hard working men are daily
courtiuR death in a much more certain
form, without ever leaving their native vii
Iaaes or cities. They are the men who neg
lect their health. They are the men who
court death from consumption, or some
other deadly disease due to improper or
insufficient nourishment. The man who
suffers from bilious or nervous disorders,
who has a weak stomach and an impaired
digestion, who has lost the power to eat,
rest or sleep, and who fails to take prompt
steps TO remedy these conditions, is court.
az death ID the Riiise OF some fatal rualady.

Dear Moll :-It's Christmas day,
But you wouldn't think it to see the

But I wouldn't do it as don't know how,

Without you'd see the way | was born.

Eating the turkey and even my share.
But blame you not for your appe-

As know how it was, once on time.

But when l get home, I'll not again be a
fish.
So here's to you all, with moral
you know,
Stay home while your there and you'll
ever eat crow.

The present skating has brought up
the question of how fast man can tray
ell on the ice. One young man had q
relative who was reported to have skated
twenty miles in half an hour. Inasmuch
as the record for twenty miles made BY
A. d. Smith is hr., min. and SO 2-5
sec., this was indeed fast. The record
Tor one mile was made by Tim Donohue
in 2 min, II 3-5 Sec with the wind at
his back. Last Saturday at Newberg,
n. Y. Donohue skated q miles in 80
minutes.
