"Good morning." responded the friend knowing his hand clasp ami the back of his head. "How fire you?" continued Mr. Broat, turning ho the watch pocket In his vest faced the Mrcet and his eyes looked into those of his friend. "What are you acting like a rooster for?" queried the friend "Whv don't you Iook a man In the face without turning you back on him? What is the matter with yon. anyway?" "I am twisted." said Sroat. plaintive ly. "1 am badly bent. Pont make me laugh, it hurts' my neck." Then he told his woeful tale. Mr. Hroat, It seems, has a friend from 1-o.s Angeles.

Mr. Sroat and Mr. Keane mounted the automobile yesterday and started up the valley The roads were so bail on the west side that the party crossed to the east side up the river a waya and In climbing the long hill at Champoeg the machine sprung a Joint, grinding off the corners of one of the pinions, so that whenever an. up grade was encountered the only wav Foolo could drive his machine was back ward.

As most of the road was hill he looked back most of the time .thus accounting for his habitual attitude this morning don't nee anything funny about It." he said, pessimistically, as he painfully turned his back toward the street and began to sidestep toward the -door.

The men of higher strata, who really suffer by aj jail sentence, rarely return. This Is true of live men who are made "trus ties." They are usually of the best class of prisoners, and Jailer Hunter says that not one of them has betrayed his trust since Jie lias been jailer, nor do such men come back to hang around and "visit" after they are free. When a man goes out after being confined for some time he Is usually asked to d6 many things for his fellow prisoners. He is asked to buy small articles lor them and perform little errands. Then he goes back to tell his "friends" about the outside world and to take them trinkets and tobacco. Sometimes he only wants to visit.

(Special Plspntch to The Joiirnnl ) Albany. Or.. July 18 1. H. Sic Knipht. assessor of Linn county, has completed the listing of the realty with in l he city of Albany. He estimates that an ajrsrrfjrate increase in assessable values reaching J 1 SO. 000 will be u.Med to the roll, from tlie hulMiriK of new residences and business property alone. Albany Is experiencing an unparalleled building boom. Shortage of labor pro hibits many proposed building projects An excellent class of improvements is being made. Streets are beln grad ed, cement curbs are built, and ce ment sidewalks are Kolng down along side the residence properties. With the new paving:, the converting of the streetcar line Into an electric system, the completion of the new de pot. Elks' temple, and the many resi dences for which excavations are be ing made, the city will scarcely know Itself when aJl is completed. The newly acquired 170. o federal bulldine will be a valuable addition to the city. Actual work on this struc ture Is expecterl to be undertaken as soon as tbe site Is selected PERSONAL. lug for the arrest of Felix Paduverus on the charge of complicity In the crime and Detective Hums is expected to-Iocate the man today. While Claudianes is held in jail, no warrant has 'ever been issued for him and the arrest of l'aduverus may lead to the unfolding of the case. i The warrant was sworn out after an all-night conference in Oakland be-' tween Detective Burns. John Claudi anes and several Oakland police offi cers. None of the officers will talk. , Paduverus occupied a room In fciausa- 1 llto with Peter Claudianes some weeks ! ago and is thought to know of tlie , whereabouts of the brother of the con- fessor He Is thought to be the same man that was brought to police head quarters secretly two days ago and taken Into Claudia ties' ceil ),y Burns and then released by a .secret door He is the husband of Peter claudianes': sister, and a fireman' by occupation. j An Inconsiderate Ma Dog. j A dispatch from Lynn Miss to tii! New York Tribune says: maik dog ' frightened the congregation of St i Paul's Methodist Kplscopal church last! Sunday, nt the morning services Rev i F. H. Clark was h ailing n prayer when : a b'.g collie, yelping and frothing at the! mouth, jumped Int., th, ihurch through! an -open window. Half a dozen women I fainted and several were injmed in the mad rush for doors and windows." I The minister, we are informed, chased the dog. into the study, after a beautiful , member of the choir had wpralned her ankle by jumping 20 feet. Having the dog alone the good man caught It by j the neck and held It until a policeman arrived and ended the trouble by shoot-i ing the animal without hitting an Inno- j cent uystander. , The minister showed rare bravery and excellent judgment and the policeman Is1 to be highly commended for the skill he I exninueri in using his revolver; but we fear their efforts will prove unavailing People will hereafter be exceedingly cautious In the matter of attending i-huroh Citizens who are In th.

When you consider that 50xl00-frot lots in many of the suburbs where it takes just as long or longer to reach, are selling for as high as $800, do you think it sound judgment to allow such an opportunity as Metzger acre tracts afford, to slip away without securing from one to half a dozen or more of these beautiful tracts? At Metzger you can buy whole ACRE TRACTS FROn $200 UP With only 10 per cent down and 3 per cent monthly. REMEMBER You cannot always buy these tracts at such low prices. This excellent oppor tunity will not always be available. When the prices advance you will begin to realize that you made a mistake by not securing some of this land. COME OUT TO-DAY And look it over. See for yourself the great value we are offering. The Oregon Electric line gives good service and the trip is a delightful one, probably the most enjoyable trolley ride on the whole coast. When you arrive at Metzger you will be further delighted on entering the grand nattiral park adjoining the station and which will be kept in fine condition to delight the Metzger people This land i specially adapted for fruit of all kinds, also vegetables. An acre will keep a family independent and, think of the price. Several wells have been dug and at a depth of 15 feet there is 6 feet of pure water.
