According to plans of the group of men sponsoring tiie proposition tbe new publication will be a weekly, devoted to tbe local and social news of tbe 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 poisoD of local pride aud 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 Portlaud daily papers to get all the state, national and foreign news that a weekly, fully covering tbe 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 never 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.
