Democrat voi, .urn ALBANY. OREGON, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 1 1907 NO 14 Albany CAR SHORTAGE! 50 DOWNED J. H. ROBERTS Will Cause Curtis Lumber Co. io Shut Down. Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Shaw, of the Curtis Lumber Co., went to Portland this morning on a short business trip. Mr. Shaw reports a continued car short age. While the Company is able to get cars for its Oregon trade, the companies being afraid of the recipro cal demurrage law, it is almost impos sible to secure any lor outside ship ments. The claim is that the cars are all being used for fruit and hop ship ments, etc. The Company now has on hand 8,000,000 feet of lumber, 400 car loads, representing over $100,000, com pletely filling its yards. The result is the Company ha3 decided to shut down until there is relief, and will do so in a few days, putting a large force of men out of employment. It will of course start up whenever car conditions are better. KEEP an KY fc, uil tne Vienna Bakery or good things to EAT. Second street between Ellsworth and T von streets.

The great and successful comedy. "A Message from Mars" will fill an en gagement here on Monday, Oct. 28. Horace Parker, the hero of the com edy, is a typical egotist. He believes that the msny must toil, that the few must have only the pleasures of life, and he includes himself in the latter list. His fad is astronomy and espec ially the study of the planet Mars. His sweeteeart, tired of his egotism.breaks hei marriage engagement and leaves him reading an essay on Mars when suddenly a messenger comes from this planet with the task of reforming what he says is the most selfish man on earth. The Martian leads Parker willfully into the streets where the snow is deep, and instantly transforms him into a very poor man. In an instant he is divested of his fur coat and appears in the garb of a tramp and makes him give away all the money he has to an unfortunate but deserving woman. There is a great sermon in this play. Probate: Final hearing in estate of C. A. Powell set for Dec. 2. Guardian Hugh McCulloueh, a minor. Bond $1500. Deeds recorded: Ola SaltveittoJ.K.
