Urytothe city by the Oregon Pacific railroad, and in which 3&ny of Albany's citizens are financially tereated, it possesses an element of growth of much importance. The extent and Talue of these mines are jut becoming known, and expert miners of long ex. perience state that the Santiam district is one of the most promising on the Pacific coast Great develop, ments may be eipected theie during the next few years, and Albany is in a position to reap greater benefits therefrom than any other city. It only re mains for its citizens to fully comprehend the oppor. tunities offered them, and grasp them with a firm and energetio hand. AN ENTERPRISING TOWN. A MOVEMENT is on foot in the enterprising town of Newberg to increase the school facilities, nr. gently demanded by the rapidly increasing popula tion. It is proposed to build a school house enough larger than the present inadequate one to accommo date the increased growth of the town for a number of years. It is especially noticeable that the most progressive citizens favor the thorough grading of the school and the establishment of a high school de. partment As the seat of the Friends' Pacifio Acad emy, Newberg is already one of the important educa tional points of the northwest The academy, which is rapidly achieving an enviable reputation among our educational institutions, will no doubt develop into a college within a very few years. The liberal enterprise exhibited by the citizens of Newberg in educational matters is but an indication of the way they manage the affairs of the town generally. A more moral, intelligent, progressive community can not be found in Oregon. Additions to the popula tion in the form of new comers who have been at tracted by the fertile acres of the Chehalem valley and the opportunities offered there for the industri ous, man of moderate means, are being made daily. The location there of this most desirable class of peo ple is chiefly due to the exertions of the Chehalem Valley Board of Immigration, of Newberg, which hi acquired large tracts of valuable land near the city, as well as residence property in the city itself, which it holds at reasonable figures for the benefit of io grant. It ia the policy of the board to divide cp the surrounding farms into tracts of from five to thirty wrcs, and hold them for sale to individuals who will improve them and become actual residents andpr ducera. Any one desiring to plant for himself a frus orchard in one of the most lovely and fertile vallej1 of Oregon should eee whftt this board has to offer.
