MAY ABANDON DEPARTMENT Proposition Presented to Install Hy drants on Street Corners and Do Away With the Paid Firefighters. ALBANY, Or.. May 26 (Special.) The first mass meeting held In Albany for many months to consider a question of public policy has been called for next jlonday evenini. It will convene at the request of the local Business Men's Asso ciation to consider the proposed change In Albany's nre-fiphtingr system. A majority of the members of the City Council favors the abandonment of the present semi-paid fire department, which Is equipped with two modern fire engines, a chemical engine, hook and ladder equipment and all necessary hose carts, and the Installation of a system of hyd rants on street corners. All cisterns which now supply the engines would ac cordingly be abandoned. The change was advocated by the Wil lamette Valley Company, which offers to supply water for the hydrants at the rate of $1200 a year on a ten-year con tract. It found favor In the City Council and that body at Its last meeting author ised the drawing up of a contract on the terms specified, to be finally considered at a later date. The Council has Invited citizens to be present when the matter comes for final consideration next Tues day evening. For some time opposition has been de veloping to the plan but It lacked a leader. Now the Business Men's Associa tion has taken the question up and has called this mass meeting. Those tn favor of the change contend It is a cheaper and better method of fighting ' fires, while those opposed believe that the change is a shrewd move on the part of the Wil lamette Valley Company to have the city pay for the installation of new and larger mains and the extension of Its system farther out in the parts of the city, which are rapidly building up. lltniGATIOX DITCH IS SOLD Kiona Development Company Snc- cecds Northern Pacific.

W. Bailey. The question. of subscription of stock by local people. is being taken up today, and if business men here "make good," work on the plant will soon begin. The ma chinery alone will cost 40,000. The country tributary to Albany is re garded as ideal for the supply for such an enterprise. SHOULD COHO WOOL HERE DR. AVITHYCOMBE SAYS GROW ERS WOULD PROFIT. If Valley Product Were Manufac tured at Home, Sheep Industry Mould Develop Largely. CORVALLIS. Or.. May 26. (Special.) Dr.Wlthycombe of the Oregon Agricultural College and director of the experiment station, emphasizes the Importance of an Industry for woolcombing in Western Or egon. He points out mat tne nmiuumw Valley is especially fitted for producing wools of extra long fiber and urges that vastlv greater Kain would inure to the grower if these wools were manufactured into yarns at home. He says. It has been known for several decades that conditions are exceptionally favorable In Western Oregon for the production of a very nigh class of combine wool. As early 187H. at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, a Judge of international fame. after examining the combing wools exhibited by this state and after ascertaining the lo cality in which they were produced, ven tured the prediction that the farms of West ern Oregon would ultimately be largely de voted to the production of. combing wools. The soil, climate and consequent vegetation seem to be ideal for the growing of the very best specimens of long-wooled sheep yleld- nr heavy fleeces of excellent wool. This wool possesses all the characteristics which are so desirable for combing. The fiber Is long, lustrous, soft, strong and elastic. In view of this possible great field of pro duction It Is Indeed rather strange why this product has not received more attention from our woolen manufacturers. There is scarcely a pound of this wool either combed or manufactured at home, but unfortunately the wool Is often purchased from the grower at a nominal figure and shipped East. It Is there manufactured Into high-class worsteds and considerable quantities are returned to us at a cost of from 75 cents to $1.50 per pound. Thus It would seem we are neglect ing a very important industry,- Instead of these wools selling for 20 or 22 cents per pound, as they are at present, with home factories for their ntmsatlon they should bring from 25 to 80 cents per pound to the grower. A good local market for this class of wool would not only be an impetus to the grower to produce mors and even better combing wools, but it would also stimulate a more general Interest among farmers to grow the ong-wooled breeds of sheep. If the comb ing wool Industry were properly encouraged Western Oregon would soon become famous for its flocks of high-class sheep. While there are many high-class flocks of long-wool sheep in this section at present. If there were a hundred times as many such flocks It would ba better for all. In this event wool growers In the range states, in stead of going to Canada and England for this class of sheep, would come here, and thus a large and profitable Industry would be established. Studies Fruit in Oregon. HOOD RIVER. Or.. May 26. (Special. William A. Taylor, chief of the pomologi- cal division of the United States Agricul tural Department, who has been making a tour of the Coast In quest of informa tion In regard to fruit, fruit-growing and its transportation, has arrived at Hood River.

He re ports the orange crop larger than last year and states that the scarcity of this fruit in Coast cities is due to the shortage of cars and not to a short crop. Mr. Taylor goes from here to Lansing, Mich., to study fruit conditions after which he will return to Washington to announce the results of his inquiries. May Have Another Sawmill. SILVERTON, Or..

SALEM MEN MAKE GOOD BUY Prune Land Once Held at $250 an Acre Sells for $53. SALEM, Or.. May 26. (Special.) 'Dirt cheap" fairly expresses the terms linon wnicn a saiem nrm Dougm prune orchard at Newberg a lew days ago. H. B. line, w. l. jenas ana vv. a. Rice Durchased 3. ranch of 172 acres, owned by Chicago capitalists, at New berg. The ranch included 107 acres of prunes, five acres of peaches and five acres of cherries. The price was about 19.200. or about $53 an acre. The pres ent outlook is that the profits on the growirr crop will pay the purchase Drice. In the boom days of the prune industry, the Chicago people oougnt the place at $250 an acre. They suf fered a few bad years and this, to gether with the fact that they had to rienend uDon others running tne place, made the property a constantly losing investment.

WASHINGTON MILLS MAY CLOSE Unsettled Condition of California Market Hurts Industry. MONTESANO, Wash.. May 56. (Spe- lai.) It is now generally conceaea that most of the mills ana loggms camps of this section will cease opera tions until after tne tourin ui juij. There has been no concerted action on the part of the owners and operators. The reason given for such, action Is the unsettled condition of the San Francisco market., whence a large share of the output of the mills on Gray's Harbor goes. The leading mill men say a shut down at this time will be very beneficial in every way and nobody seems disheartened over the prospect. Somo of the largest logging camps ill not shut down but will store their logs in booms ready when tne mills open. Logs are a good price now, being $12 for fir and $9 lor spruce. and loggers declare it will stay about this figure. The Montesano mills will not close down, as they are crowded wltn con tract orders and would Increase their output if they could get cars in which to ship their proauct.

A city that has subscribed more money per capita than any other city in Oregon for adver tising mirrjoses: a city that has the hand somest appointed club rooms of any city In Oregon, Portland not excepted. The furnishings of these club rooms are worthy of imitation and I propose that we raise the money right here to buy a dupli cate set for the Governor s office at Salem and let it be an advertisement of Coos Bay and the North Bend industries." The above 100 words cost the Nortn isena Commercial Club $3 per word. FOREST GROVE BUILDING BOOM First Concrete Building In the Town Going lTp. FOREST GROVE, Or., May 26. (Spe cial.)

Surprise -was expressed yesterday by the members of the Water Board that any alarm should arise from the slight leakage which was discovered In the Bull Run water pipe line Saturday. The damage was repaired within a few hours following its discovery and at no time did there exist the slightest possibility that the city's supply of water would be shut off or even diminished. "There appears to be an ever-present disposition to construct a mountain from an ant-hill If the exaggeration will serve to unduly arouse the public," said Frank T. Dodge, superintendent of the Water Department, yesterday. "The damage to the Bull Run pipe was really insignificant and certainly did not warrant the conclu sion that in event of a fire the city would have been at the mercy of the flames. As a matter of fact the reser voirs in this city have a capacity of 6fi, 000.000 gallons and there was not the slightest danger that a shortage would result either for domestic purposes or for fire protection. In fact any break to which the Bull Run pipe is liable can be repaired within a few hours when the feed pipe leading from the city's source of water supply could again be placed in service. "The pipe leading from' Bull Run to this city is a rolled steel pipe and Is not liable to rending or tearing. The greatest dam age to which it is subject Is a puncture such as that discovered Saturday. The opening In the pipe was found to be but one-half Inch in diameter, but owing to its location, being on the under side of the pipe which was buried to a depth of eight feet, It was difficult to reach and repair the injury.

When it becomes necessary to clean the reservoirs or to make other repairs to the system, the supply of water from the headquar ters Is frequently shut off for a day at a time and the service to consumers. In cluding adequate fire protection, is not impaired In the slightest."
