DECISION ON PARK PURCHASE North AJblna is growing 'anxious over the delay of the park board in deciding whether it will buy ten or twenty acres of the Smith tract for a park.' A large delegation of Alblna people attended the meeting of the board at the city hall Thursday morning and a number of speeches were made favoring the larger park. After listening to these the park board took the matter under advisement The North Albina people are anxious to learn the decision, as many of them expected that the board would settle the question at once. They are at a loss to tell what they will do in their endeavor to secure a larger park should the present effort fail, for they have been so confident of success that they had no thought of losing. It was only recently that they realised that there was a sentiment in the park board against enlarging the also of the pur chase. writer fears he might be shot by Cos sacks os a revolutionist spy, have been received here by Christian Ansoff Rudo wlts, the political refugee whose at tempted extradition recently attracted attention.

MAY PUT HEPBURN ON THE INTERSTATE (Hearat News by too (tot Leased Wlrs.l Washington. Feb. 13.- The Stevens bill. Increasing membership of the in terstate commerce commission from seven to nine, was reported favorably today by the house committee on com merce. It is generally believed William P. Hepburn of Iowa, who is about to retire from congress. Is to be appointed to the commission should the bill pasa. The committee on commerce also re ported favorably the Watson bill, re quiring improved safety appliance in the shape of running boards, hand holds, ladders, eta, on cars, to protect the lives of railroad employes. SITUATED These beautiful acre tracts afford. tha poor man an unequaled opportunity to be lord and master over all he surveys. A man must be in very comfortable circumstances -to be able to buy a 50-foot lot within walking distance of the shopping district of Port Jand and to build a house thereon. And when he owns it, what then? He can't sup port to himself and family on it If he is willing to go out on the carlinesjsay, 29 minutes' ride to the suburban additions he can buy a 50-foot lot for $500 up. If he is willing to go out the same distance- measured by time, 30 minutes to Metzger, on the fast Oregon electric line, on the west side, he can buy a whole acre for as low as $200 and he can support himself and family on it. Which do you prefer? Just think it over at your leisure. TA2CB CAB nrTEKSOH AJTB PBOHT aoxbts ow OBOtraro stbby day Metzger acre tracts are all good. Some are all cleared, some partly cleared, and some all timbered. Some tracts are level and some are rolling. The soil is deep, rich and well drained, and is unexcelled for the cultivation of walnuts, cherries and all kinds of garden truck. The situation is ideal, and the car service frequent and rapid. There being no bridges or river to cross it is just as convenient to live at Metzger as within the city limits. There are no restrictions at Metzger you can keep a horse, cow, pigs and chickens, and raise all their feed and make money besides. A few acres mean inde pendence. If you are interested investigate without further delay. CALX, AT On CXTT ORICI TOB run aits xhtokmatzov. Don't delay. While we have hundreds of these acre tracts to choose from, the choicest will be selected first Those who do not mind the inclement weather and investigate this property will be well repaid for their wisdom in not waiting until the fine spring weather, when hun dreda of buyers will be flocking out on the . Oregon electric line seeking desirable home sites. The time to buy is now and the place to buy is at Metzger, where you can enjoy city life at country prices.
