Surrounded by Great Resources, Has New Enterprises and Prosperous Citizens and Is Looking for ward With Confidence. Staff CotTM pond t net. Alba, Ore., Nov. 7. Alba Is the old est town In Camas Prairie. The place became a business point about 22 yoitrs ngo. when John Clifford opened i a small general store. This pioneer uira auout two years ago. The post ..mi,; whs reiauusneu it years ago mm jonn luinoru wns the first post master. A weekly mall route was es inniisneu between - Pendleton and union, via Pilot Rock and this in' creased to a dally sen-Ice alout three years ago. In early days the mall carrier nati to frequently carry the man in winter across the Blue moun tains on snow shoos. He was also ex pressman and carried Wells. Farco packages in tlio same manner. Rendezvous of Indians. - 1 1- . ,, ... near uio present sue ot Alba was once the friendly place of rendezvous or several different tribes1 of Indians Sheltered by the tall pines at the foot oi me mountains tney would meet were and hold great celebrations All of the Indian games were played and racing and gambling were the or der of the day. Josh Clarl:, an old pioneer, tells about how the Indians used to strip to their breech clouts and run races for largo stakes on these occasions. Ho says that they ran like quarter horses and that many of them were fine specimens of man hood. He says that they also became troublesome at times in those early days and tells an Incident th which the. Indians confiscated the goods of BUI Howaid and" Joli'n Connell, 'wfio had 'a store at Alba in later years and also relates how difficult it was for the pioneer merchants to rescue them. The town was named "Alba" for one of the first settlers of the valley Oame was abundant In early days. Elk were as numerous as cattle at the present time and bear, deer and ante lope wore tounrt everywhere. Evidences of Early Days. Many evidences of these times are still to be found In this county. Elk and deer antlers adorn the front of residences, barns and business houses and bear skin nigs are not in- trequcnt In the old homes. Everyone has its story and the pioneer does not mind telling it. Old-time chairs with rawhide seats, with the hair still on are found even in some of the hotels. Panic of 1893. Alba was a live town in early days It was the gateway to a vast country. A large portion of the traffic from in terior Oregon came this way nnd Alba business men and hotels reaped a harvest The town outgrew Itself, and when the 1893 panic came. Alba went down and with it prices of land and other property. It remained down for a number of years, but Alba is again rebuilding. The town is livelier than for years. New buildings are going up, ,old ones are being im proved and new business institutions are bcingestabll6hed. It is claimed that it is not a boom, but a gradual growth and all of the citizens have faith In the future of the place. This confidence Is inspired by the business now being done and the many resources lying at her door. She is iu- the center of a great timber belt and stockraising and dairying are increasing. Business Firms. Viebrock & Schmidt have a good saw mill plant with a capacity of 12, 000 feet of lumber a day and have ready sale for all of the lumber they can cut, the demand being principal ly for improvements in the Immedi ate section. Butter Creek, Pilot Rock and Pendleton are constantly drawing on them for supplies. The Alba Shingle Mill Company lias just completed a mill with a ca pacity of 20.000 shingles a day. and will begin work next Tuesday. This Institution already has an order for 200.000 shingles. They ro cut verti cal and from good timber and the de mand for them Is great. This Instl union was recently moved from Ukiah. where It Is operated on a smaller scale. Under the new manage- nit-in ii win also cut shakes and man j-ufactnre apple toxes. Altia has a general store operated by A. S. Quant, who Is also postmas ter. .Mrs. Josh Clark conducts one of the best hctels .on the Pcndleton- i klah stage line. Baltezore & Eggerth have one of the b-st blacksmith shops in the conn- tj. They do general blacksmithlng, 1 orsrshoeing and all kinds of wagon and woodwork, J. D. Shlpp runs a livery and feed stable and saloon. His barn Is (2x 100 feet and magnificently aranged. It holds 100 tons of hay and will ac commodate 30 head of horses. He also has hay racks ontsTNe of the barn. Like all of the points In Camas Prairie, Alba has the finest water sup ply In Eastern Oregon. The town has a church, school building and dance hall. The church .belongs to the Metho dists, but it is not provided with a pastor. The school building is one of the best In the southern liortlon of the county. The building Including lot and apparatus is easily worth $2500. A Prosperous School. A prosperous school is now In prog ress conducted by S. C. Quant, late of Western Oregon. Thirty-seven pupils are enrolled and 3a are In reg ular attendance. The present term was Intended for three months, but It may bo extended two additional months. The school Is well equipped with apparatus and has a good library. The district Is out of debt, and the building in good condition. Frank Brown. William Howard and Walter Ithlnehart are directors and II. IT. Van Horn is clerk. It Is safe to say that Alba .will never go backward again. Like all of East ern Oregon, her resources and oppor tunities are such that bIio only needs development to prosper, and not only local citizens are taking advantage of the situation, but people from all over the country are looking this way and along with the great growth or this section of the state. Alba and Camas Prairie will be in the van. DE LANEY. AT THE FRAZER. "A Poor Relation" Next Saturday Night "On the Stroke of 12" To. morrow Night. It Is a marvelous stago creation that can keep an audience of play goers on the verge of tears for two horns and preserve them from weep ing simply by making, them laugh.

It is essentially n rhie that appeals to the sympathies at times deeply: and being delineated with such' ex quisite finish by a comedian whose methods are peculiarly adapted to the character It is no wonder that the play that forms its setting has be come u household word for all that is clean and wholesome on the Amer ican stage.
