The car shops of the Oregon
Pacific railroad coiiij.ny are soon
to U' located here, and on the
completion of this road to an
eastern connection with an eastern
route, Albany will lc the end of
the most iinjHirlant division of the
ruad. and will within the next
year command a large share of
the trade from the rich grain,
wool and stock raising sections of
Kastern Oregon, at the same time
lieing the junction of this road and
the great Southern Pacific line.
Work has lieen commenced on a
large amount of buildings, including
several fine bricks.
Coupled with this general spirit j
oi improvement is exhibited a
marked activity in real estate, and
a steady growing tendency on the
part of the business men to reach
out after wholesale and jobbing
trade and to embark in business
on a broader and more metroioli

TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.
Albany's Superior Advantages
for
Cheap Shipping Rates.
It is a conceded fact that Albany
is in a jKisition to enjoy, and to
demand, cheajier shipiiug rates
than anv other city in the Willam
ette Valley. The merchants of the
city have their choice of shijjiing
over the Southern Pacific railroad,
the Oregon Pacific road, the river
division of the latter comjiaiiy, or
l.y the o. l:. it N. boats', which
also jily regularly on the river.
It is an open secret that Albany
merchants get goods laid down
in this city cheaper than do the
dealers of any town in the valley.
It is now lecoming generally known
that wheat in Albany commands a
price within 5 cents nearer the
San Francisco price than it did be
fore the completion of the Oregon
l'acifte. to her doors. This road
has made every effort to secure :i
large 'share of the trade of the val-j
ley, and it would le a matter of
surprise to the merchants of Port
land to leani just how successful
they have leeii in this direction.
.Nearly all the merchandise shipped
trom ran rrancisco to Albany, as
well as to nianv other Willamette
Valley and southern Oregon towns,
is now carried regularly via
Yauuina. Ilesides lieing located
on the direct line of the Southern
Pacific railroad, at its junction with
the Oregon Pacific. Albany is the
terminus of the J'banon branch of
the Southern Pacific, running from
this city to the town of Ichanon,
thirteen miles south-east, which

There is a rich coal and mineral

The completion of the Oregon Paci
fic east of Albany has made a large
(Mirtion of the very rich farming
district in this direction immedi
ately tributary to the city. During
tin' past year Albany's trade from
the country east of the citv adjacent
i to the line of this road has increas

can be further stated that people
are now jiouring into this country
at a rate never licfore experienced.

city this summer.
OREGON FRUIT.
Its World-wide Reputation Thor
oughly Understood.
Oregon, and especially western
Oregon, has established the repu
tation of being the most productive
fnutregion in the world. Its equ
ableJcIimate,moist atmosphere?, and
freedom from drouth and cyclonic
j storms renders it possible to estab
lish and maintain this reputation
j Small fruits and lwrries of all
i descriptions flourish remarkably
in western Oregon; peaches and
- 1 grapes do fairly well, but apples,
j pears, plums, and cherries are the
wonder of every stranger who
beholds them for the first time in
their luxuriant prime. Our cli
mate dot's not require the long
term of years that almost every
1 other country calls for to bring the
trees into lieanng, lor compara-
tivelv siieaking they bear almost
from the year of transplanting, and
one of the cares of the painstaking
and successful orchardist is to pre
vent overbearing.
The fame of Oregon prunes has
; as good prunes as Oregon, lliev
; bring much the highest price in the
- market . A over this

planting
I i-IHH 11.-
orchards has become a leading
industry, some orchardists put
ting out as high as thirty and forty
ai res. Many farmers are embark
in the cultivation of this most ex
cellent fruit, that grows and
matures with such perfection and
certainty in this locality in the
great state of Oregon, that its cul
tivation affords a jierfectly safe
and growing industry to embark
in. So great was the demand for
prune trees for planting during the
last season that the matured stock
of every nursery in the state was
exhausted and manv had to defer
planting for a year.
The Willamette Valley, in the
heart of which is situated the live
city of Albany, is the most peculiar
ly adapted to fruit growing part of
the state and this vicinty is fast
developing into a center for its
growth and shipment.
Certainly it is that no locality
under the sun offers the intelligent
and careful orchardist such advan
tages as does this locality at
present.
HEALTH RESORTS.
Famous Soda and Mineral Springs
of Linn County.
No portion of Oregon is more
favored with excellent health re
sorts, watering places, and mineral
springs than is Linn County. Along
the south fork of the Santiam num
erous soda springs are found, which
bubble up from the solid rocks,
emitting cold, sparkling mineral
water which cannot Ik surpassed
bv the commercial water of anv of
the famous springs of this country.
The excellence of these springs
.during the summer attract large
numbers of tourists, and has re.-1
suited in placing the water upon j
the market. The nearest of the j
springs to Albany are at Sodaville. i
and Waterloo. Hie traveler or
health-seeker after taking the train
at Albany to Lebanon will, in half
an hour's ride by stage, reach
either of these resorts. The atten
tion attracted to Sodaville by these
soda springs has led to a project of
extending the Iebanon branch of
the Southern Pacific to that place.
It is a thriving inenrjiorated village,
and the springs are public property,

The Excellent Educational Advan
tages of This City.
The recent successful closing ex
ercises of the school year of the
different institutions of learning in
this city recalls the fact that the
educational advantages of Albany
are such as to reflect credit upon
the city and the country adjacent.
To those seeking good schools is
offered the thorough college course
of the Albany Collegiate Institute,
a superior system of graded public
schools, and the academic course
of the Catholic school, the Academy
of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The public school building, con
structed in 1885, is a fine two-story
structure with ten rooms, and a
basement, which, together with
the spacious grounds, occupy an
entire block in the central portion
of the city. The building is heated
and furnished after the most mod
ern and improved methods, and ac
commodation is afforded for flOO
students. School is taught nine
months in the year, the average at
tendance being during the past
year. The public school is graded
by an excellent system, and the ex
jienses for running the same is
maintained from the public school
fund of the county, and by an an
nual tax, so that it is free to all
children living in the district. If
children attend from outside of the
district, the directors regulate their
tuition, but it is always moderate.
Following is a list of- the instruct
ors : Principal, Prof. i. A. Walker ;
assistants. .Miss M. J. Morris. Miss

The Albany College Institutional
college founded nnder the auspices

j sisting of four blocks, at the south
ern edge oi me cuy. ine sue is a
donation by Thomas Monteith at
the founding of the institute. A
college course is taught, and the
school is being built up by men
and instructors who are thorough
and painstaking. The term last
past has been very successful, and
the prospects are flattering for the
future upbuilding of one of the
best educational institutions in the
state.
