ALBANY'S IW SIMMS OUTLOOK.
What tba "West Shore" Bays cf Albany
and Sorronndinx Country.
During the year just closed the
city of Albany has shown remarka
ble progress and vitality, and gives
indications or a future progress
highly gratifying to its intelligent
and "enterprising citizens. Ihe
tax roll shows a market! increase
over the value of property the
previous year. The total valua
tion is $1,322,546.00, divided into
$776,881.00 real estate and $545,
6H5.00 personal property. Upon
this are indebtedness and exemp
tions to the amount of $290,000.00,
leaving a net taxable value of $1,
031,800.00 within the limits of the
city, which will yield a revenue of
$4,501.00. The estimated popula
tion, based upon the tax roll, is
3500, not including recent arrivals
and temporary residents. The
prosperity of Albany is based upon
the excellence of the large area of
tributary agricultural land, upon
its lar'e and cheaply utilized
water power, and upon its unrival
ed transportation facilities,to which
are added valuable coal and gold
and silver mines now being de
veloped. Linn county is one of the oldest
settled portions of tlse celebrated
Willamette Valley, and has always
been noted for its excellent ciops
and fine farms. Its products are
largely marketed through Albany,
and almost the entire county is
tributary to that city, as, also, is a
large area oi fertile land lying on
the west side of the Willamette
river. There is much land but
paitially improved lying between
the city and the mountains, which
can be purchased at extremely low
lates, and in the foothills both gov
ernment and railroad lands are
open to settlement. Improved
lands may also be found by those
who have money to invest in that
class of property in preference to
buying cheaper land and making
the improvements themselves. The
ag-icultural regions are gradually
filling up, and yearly a greater
area of land is put into productive
condition. Many orchards are be
ing set out, and dairying is largely
on the increase, both ; ol th-se
forms of agricultural industry oe
ing profitable in this region" Al
bany feels the eilect of this in
crease in population, production
and values in- the surrounding
country, and its citizens are in
dustriously engaged in the work of
providing additional lacilities for
marketing the products and trans
acting the business.
Shipping facilities are at hand
superior to those possessed by any
other city in the valley.andarrang
ments are being made for others.
On the ihamette river steamers
of the O. R. & N. Co. ply between
the city and I'ortland, while those
of the Oregon Pacific bring freight
from up and down the stream to
the railroad at Albany. The main
line of the Southern Pacific's Ore
gon system, connecting; Portland
and San Francisco, passes through
this city, and from this point a
branch runs to Lebanon, a thriving
town to the eastward. The Oregon
Pacific crosses the Willamette at
this point by means of . a fine
bridge, giving Albany access to the
ocean at Yaquiua Bay. This road
is1 completed sixty miles east of
the city, and will be finished
across the Cascades by the end of
another year, making connection
with an overland road in the vi
cinity of Snake river, and placing
Albany on another transcontinen
tal system. A company has been
organized in Astoria to build a road
from that city into the Willamette
valley, and the cit'zens of. Albany
have incorporated a company to
co-operate with this movement and
se -lire i.r their city the terminus
of the A.-toiia line. Construction
nus alic.idy been commenced on
the line south from Astoria. When
this project is carried to successful
completion Albany will have a
third seaMrt Irani" which to ship
Her products..
From whatever point the city is
viewed, the future of Albany seems
bright with promis. Anticipa
tions of lapid giowth are not based
upon theorr merely, but upon the
continued operation of cau-es al
ready at work, whose effects are
now being felt, and which must
have a steadily iucrasing influence
upon the welfare of the city. No
interior town in the northwest
offers greater promise than does
this thriving city of the Willam
ette. tiiuiu t oaspiinr rooting.
Mr. Fred E. LeComte, advance
agent of the Stuttz Dramatic Co..
is in the city arranging for the ap
pearance of. that well known com
pany here next week. They
