Hew Barinew House to B Erected The
City'i Railway Advantages.
The prospects for brick building
in Albany was never better than
at present. Plans for a number of
fine brick buildings are being
made. The first to be commenced
is that of Win. Vance on second
street below Ellsworth, which i.
now under way.
Keal ettate transfers in and
about the city are lively, also indi
cating a healthy growth. A street
railway will soon be in oeration,
new business houses and many
new residences are constantly be
ing added to the city, and alto
geiher the prospects of a substan
tial growth are most flattering.
The current number of the West
Shore says of Albany :
The railway center of the Wil
lamette valley is the city of
Albany. And not only has' it this
verv prominent distinction, but it
is the central and niof-t important
primary shipping point, both by
river and by rail. The junction oi
two such important transportation
lines as the Southern Pacific and
the Oregon Pacific railways is of
great advantage. Iiesides thi.
Albany is ata point whce a branch
road joins the main Oregon line oi
the Southern Pacific. The branch
extends to the eastward, and is the
chief artery of commerce for an
important portion of Linn county.
It brings to Albany the large
quantities of grain and wool and
miscellaneous products from the
farms and from the ranges that are
designed for consumption in the
local market or for shipment
abroad, either by way of Portland
or Yaquina bay, and it takes from
Albany the merchandise which the
people along the line con-ume.
Some twelve miles east of Albany,
at Lebanon, this branch forms a
junction witit the narrow gauge
road which extends across the
county north and south parallel
with the Southern Pacific main
line, and this connection, in a con
siderable measure, is a feeder for
Albany.
Uesides the railroad connections
which Albany has in the operation
sA these two systems, it has every
advantage of the navigation of the
Willamette river. Indeed, die
Oregon Pacific, in the absence of
other feeders, operates a line oi
boa's on the river, drawing the
produce for a considerable distance
along the banks of tiie stream to
Albany for shipment to tide water.
The Oregon Kailway A Navigation
Company also has a line of steam
ers on the river and competes with
the other transportation lines doing
business at Albany. Thus there i
sharp competition in local river
and railroad traffic, and Albany
business men have the choice of
two routes to tide water for all
shipments abroad they choose to
make the Oregon Pacific to Ya
quiiiAbay or the Southern Pacific
to Portland. Not content witli
these, the citizens of Albany have
organized a new company to build
a railway to Astoria, at the mouth
of the Columbia. Codderable
work on the Astoria end ot thi
line has already been done, and
the indications are favorable for its
continuence acrot-s the Coast moun
tains to Albany. This would give
the city three distinct routes to the
seaboard. The Oregon Pacific is
now constructed sixty miles east
ward from Albany and is rapidly
pushing its way through the Cas"
cades to eastern connections.
There now radiate from this center
like the spokes of a wheel, five
rauway tracks, besides the lines ol
steamers on the river.
The fact that so many transpor
tation lines converge at this point
is proof of its importance. The
nieie crossing of two railway
tracks is not, of course, significant.
! A ra.lr.iad crosung is not neces-
j narily a commercial city any more
man a country lour-coiners is:
but when lines from widely diver
gent points come together and
there is a scramble among com
peting corporations that leads to a
final concentration of interests at a
strategic point commerce, it is the
strongest evidence that the situa
tion is one of more than ordinary
i uportance. The important fact
that Albany has feeders ramifying
the counti y in all directions, col
lecting produce and distributing
merchandise, shews that it has
commercial independence and is
not laid under tribute to oppressive
monopoly, nor is it suffering from
any lack of modern conveniences.
Lines of trade converge at Albany
because such an arrangement is
the most conducive to success and
profit. Trade would not flow to
Albany if any o.her jwint pre
sented greater advantages to the
interested people, any more than
water will naturally flow up hill;
and traffic lines will not be built
i where there is no trade to sustain
I them. If the concentration of
tramJ meaa anything and no one
will for a moment doubt that it is
significant it indicates that the
point selected possesses superior
qcalificati' ns from a commercial
point of view, and that it com
mands eculiar advantages to
which the business world is very
re isitive. About such jioints,
wnere the interchange of commod
ities is easy and natural, grow our
large cities.
To one who examines Albany's
prosjiority closely it is app.irent
timf. th itv s urowth has not been
caused entirely by its being located
at a iwint convenient for the ex
change of various wares. The pro
ductiveness of the surrounding
country, of course, is an essential
factor, but the ability to utilize aim
j classiiy the m mewuai luiui gi
volume that Hos lit Irom the pro
ducers is also of great importance.

of the features- ot
presents itself to
) economy thai
evirv community oi varieu -
sources. The ability to manu-
facture is one of the influences,
which, taken in connection ith
the traffic advantages of the place,
gives Albany a Fecure foundation
on which to base a large and rapid
growth. Wheat comes into the
city and a considerable portion of
it is manufactured, the Hour
shipped to foreign markets and the
coarser products sent back to the
producer, or, at any rate, consumed
by, the domestic market. Thus
with manufactories of wool, wooa,
etc., advantages of preparing as
fully as jKjssible for the final mar
ket are important. The nearest
approach to the conservation of the
industrial forces brings the surest
and most lasting prosperity.
THE WASUIMiTOS HTKKfcT Citt.lDE
A Correspondent Offeri Some Saltations
Upon the Questioi.
To thb Editor or tub Herald:
The unusual activity in real
estate, together with tiie matter of
other public enterprises, has re
cently somewhat overshadowed
the question of the proposed grad
ing of Washington street, which is
to come before the city """neil as
a committee of the v hole next
Tuesday evening, but it io a mat
ter which deserves thorough inves
tigation before any definite action
is taken. The streets of the cify
ought to be graded and every im
provement which tends to ad ance
the prosperity of Albany ought to
be encouraged, but on the grading
of Washington street t:iere is a
divideJ opinion as to whether the
street ought to be cut down to the
grade of First street, or a running
grade established, leaving this
street as well as those adjoining
the west at a slight elevation. Al
bany is flat enough now, and this
hill, the only one in the city, ought
certainly not to be cut down in the
resilience portion of the towp west
of Washington street. The ques
tioiv,then is would it not be well to
re-establish the grade on Washing
ton street. Cut it down and grade
it by all means, but make it a
gradual running grade to meet the
elevated residence portion on the
streets immediately west of it.

Improving (he Willamette.
The government snag Iwat Cor
vallis will be started to work at
once in the upper Willamette it n
announced. She will begin at
Harrisburg and come down, clear
ing out the snags. In the course
of a month the snag boat Willam
ette will be put to work towing
stone for the revetment work at
Corvallis. Then the intention is to
keep these two boats upon the
upper river, and by scraping and
whatever else is necessary, en
deavor to keep the channel open to
Corvallis at least, and farthur up if
possible, for the whole summer
season. For this work, including
the Co vflliis revetment, some
$150,000 available funds are yet re
maining from the last appropria
tion. Itadlr Kirkeri.

The opportunity of witnessing
first-class colored minstrel show
a
is
one always appreciated. The
Georgia .Minstrel Company,' which
will appear at the oera house to
morrow evening, is one of the
best on the road. The Omaha Ree
says of them: "Now that the
Georgia Minstrels have gone, it is
but fair to say that the unanimous
opinion of the very many who at
tended their concerts at the Acad
emy of Music, has been and is that
tiey are a most excellent troupe of
reai colored people; gentlemanly
in their behavior, pleasing in their
performances, and industrious in
their efforts to entertain the crowds
that thronged lo witness their con
certs, which were from first to last
marked by such behavior as could
not offend the mast fastidious, and
bnst.ed with good and
jokes that interspersed their songs j
and plays. ThV end-men were

TUB l'IBK LIMITS.
TherSShonld Be Enkrged Imtead of Zeiiff
Oat Down About Wooden Building! .
The council is frequently beset
with Detltions allowinir oroDertv
owners to construct wooden build
ings within the fire limits, and in
this connection it is gratifying to
ntte tiie action of the council at its
last meeting in the adoption of a
minority report of the city council
to extend the fire limits and to
grant no privilege of erecting any
woouea ouuoings mmm ruin
limits. Albany is now enjoying a
steady grewth, and this should be
made substantial as far as the city
can aid it. The fire limits should
be extended rather than dimin
ished, and the ordinance oi. the
subject should be rigidly enforced.
If one citizen is a.lowed to build a
wooden building another has the
same right. The line must be
drawn somewhere, and it should
be on the basis of absolute refusal
of any erection of wooden buildings
within the fue limits.
