While we b we no desire to have
any filings at tie expense of the
good people of Albany, we cannot
resist the temptation to crack a
joke at their expense. County
Clerk Moses, of Corvallis, recently
received a letter from parties in
Ohio asking for plans and specif.

across the Santiam river between
Linn and Marion counties. From
this the supposition is that with
Ohians Albany is not on the map.
Thomas Whitehorn and family
returned home from Alsea the first
Of the week, having been camped
over there for nearly two months,
They had an enjoyable time until
homecoming was at hand. This
according to Tommy, was an or
deal to try the stoutest heart. Oh
all the trials that ever overtool
the human family Mr.. Whitehorn
has intimate knowledge. His story
of how to get home in hurry is
certainly as entertaining as it is
unusual.
Fire permits have been issued il
Benton to date to the number o
about 40. According to law, th'

give ten days notice of his deter

Each permit sets three dates OF

Sometimes conditions arise tha
forbid starting the fire at the tim

may render it too dangerous t

sition is that in a case of this kin
a new permit will be granted, bu
this is often inconvenient for farm
ers living at distance and som
compaint is reported.

rights is more than we konw, bu
the fact remains that be conclude
to possess that particular spot {
earth. A tour Of investigation re
suited in the discovery that Crosb
