A movement is on foot for the
establishment of another news,
paper at Albany, and the first is­
sue is due to appear shortly after
the new year, ncoording to plans
of the group of men sponsoring the
proposition the new publication
will be a weekly, devoted to the
local and social news of the town
of Albany and surrounding com­
munities.
There are a few citizens of Al­
bany, whose interests will be af­
fected, who will swell up with the
poison of local pride and proclaim
that their town is too large for a
weekly paper, but it seems that
these views are not held by others
who believe that as long as they
are compelled to read one of the
Portland daily papers to get all the
etate, national and foreign news
that a weekly, fully covering the
local field would be the ideal home
paper for them. They further
point out that Albany is nothing
more than a country town of per­
haps 5,000 or 6,000 people, popu­
lated by a working class, and sup­
ported by the farming country that
surrounds it and probably will
uever be able to support a daily
newspaper that will be large enough
to give them all the news of the
county, state, nation and world in
one.

"Tbs taxes paid by railroads for
1926,” Edwards said, "most of
