. (Special Olspitcli to The Journal.)
. Eugene, Or Aug. 30. Attorney Har
rison Allen of Portland, representing
the Oregon Electric Railway company,
last night applied to the Eugene city
council for an extension x of " ' time In
which it is allowed to complete its elec
tric railway from Albany to Eugene
from 18 months to JO months, as the
company now thinks Vi will be Impos
sible to complete the line In 18 months.
It is necessary to erect a big bridge
across the Willamette near Junction
City, and this alone will take nearly
that time to complete, The matter was
taken under advisement by the council
and the time will doubtless be extended.

at the session just ' closed President
Kantner writes:
, The last session which just closed
at Tacoma, Wash., was eminently worth
while, Delightful acquaintances were
formed and many found out that the
most enjoyable people whom musicians
can meet, are fellow musicians. ; -
"Besides artistic performances, musi
cianly papers were read which pro
voked interesting and helpful discus
sions. Letters to the convention were
read from Frank Damrosch, New York,
Harrison Wild, Chioago, 11L, and J.
Fred Wolle, Berkeley, Cat On the night
of the manuscript concert, compositions
by western composers were presented
which proved to be a revelation to their
fellow musicians one feature being a
one act grand opera.
"To be prized most of all was the
spirit of fellowship and common aim.
"The association stands for mutual
helpfulness, high artistic standard and
public spirit amongst musicians; . and
also for-better educational methods
surely these are things for which all
musicians can afford to stand."
