LTHY INCREASE THE OREGON SUNDAY UK Event x)f Great Importance to Valley; Opening of Exten sion Celebrated July 4 With Appropriate Exercises. Portland men and women who visited AlbnyrOr:; tor the-r.ret time Juljr . on the occasion of the opening of the Oregon Electric' extension from Salem, had expected to And a thriving country town of perhaps JOOO or 4000 persons, and many of them were greatly sur prised toae a reaj :lty, with modern buildings, paved streets, electrio cars and a metropolitan bustle. , ' Albany; in fact, is one of the moat . progressive and prosperous cltlea in . Oregon. . In point of else, according to . the 1910 census, which gave it a popu lation of 4275, it is the fourteenth city In the state, but since then its growth has been remarkable. Today its popula " tlon Is well between 5000 and 6000 per- - Bons. " . , Albany has been aptly named by its cltliens "the hub of the Willamette valley." "The figure is a peculiarly Til ting one, for out of the city, much like the spoke from a wheel hub, radiate in " ' different directions the Southern Pa cific, the Oregon Electric and the Cor " alUs & Eastern railroads. All these railroads make the town one of their most .important station joints. And from commercial and business stand point, Albany is. Indeed, of such import ance to, the railroads that It could not be Ignored, logical Supply Point. . Albany is almost in the center of the Willamette valley, and la the logical fcupply point and shipping place for a great farming and orchard country. This territory, under the impetus of diversi fied farming, is Just beginning to come Into its lawful own, and the develop---ment-of -Albany and its environs has really but begun. The entry of the Ore gonElectrlc. with Its Quick transporta tion, la going to be an Immense factor in bringing about this development. This Albany thoroughly realises, and the coming of no railroad ever was more Joyously celebrated than the opening of the Oregon Electric extension on Thurs day. Not from Albany, but the folk for milea in the countryside and from other valley towns that either have, or are soon to have, similar transportation con flections from the Oregon Electric re alised it The 'result was an enormous throng in Albany on the Fourth to take .' part in the triple celebration over the coming of the railroad, the Fourth of July and the opening of Chautauqua. " Albany citizens had spent much money and devoted much labor to insur ing the success of their big jubilee. Un der the able direction of Mayor P. D. ' Gilbert, Dr. Van Winkle, president of , the Commercial club, and many capable assistants, the ceremonies went through without a single marring Incident. The visitors, especially those from Portland, who were in a measure the particular guests of honor, will not soon forget the abundant hospitality accorded them. . i . Parade Artistic Success. .-Albany's Fourth of July parade would have done credit to a municipality five times Its size. Tt was an artistic suc cess.; Five bands played Insptrlngly and kflpt the marchers in quick stride. Be sides detachments of state militia and several uniformed fraternal organiza tions, there were many symbolic and patriotla floats In line. The parade passed along broad, well paved streets, ' between brick business buildings, and by the framework of new ones under con struction, that elicited tde admiration of . visitors, The streets and busings houses were gaily decorated with holiday bunt ing, and in several places arches were built at Important corners. On one of these arches was a framed picture of James J. Hill, the famous railroad build er, for so long chief of all the Hill ; lines, of which the Oregon Electric is a part. The formal speech making In comiee- tlon with the celebration look place at . the Chautauqua auditorium ifi the after " noon after guests had been entertained - stt dinner. Professor Joseph Young and Chief Counsel Charles H. Carey, of the I 3111). lines In the northwest, were among 'i.-.ihft. speakers.

Topeka, Kan., July 6. The hlr;h cost of living, which has been tha subject of numerous Investigations . and much writing In the last two or thre years, hits the laboring man harder than any one else. Kansas has Undertaken a ser ies of Investigations and experiments to reduce the living cost and it Is do'ng this for the 'particular benefit of the workers In tho shops and factories of the state that they may Iffivo better food for less money. Professor E. H. S. Bailey, food analyst for the kansas state board of health. Is sending to each local labor union of the state a copy of the preliminary "Food Thrift" experiments which he Is con ducting in the state food laboratories. Each union Is to read the rules for stop ping household wastes and then the lit tle booklet la to be passed rrom one member to the other to take home and etudy. Here are the first eight rules of "Food Thrift as worked out by Professor Bailey: Stop eating more than is desired; stop the waste in the selection of food; do not waste good fd by throwing It away; food bought in small packages often costs more than It la worth; the most expensive food Is not always the best, do not purchase foods out of sea son; the best rooa may De spoiled Dy bad cooking; have a system In prcpar- ing looas ana avoia tne purcnase oi more than is needed for Immediate use.
