Standing out con- spicuously will be the panic which be gan the 30th of October, like a thunder cloud out of a clear sky. The year had been a remarkably prosperous one. Along all lines a big business was re ported, particularly along the line of extravagancies, showing plenty of money for all manner of things. This 1 has all been cnanged. Anew era has b0un- There have been the customary num- ber of wrecks and disasters. These1 always occur. This northwest country has been par-: licularly favored, and it is doubtful if any section of the United States at this time feels the financial disturbance 1 ns little I D , . -i ,u.i. Perhaps of the northwest no place has handled the situation better than Albany. Things have been made to run with great Bmoothness, due to careful and reliable business methods ..ju,..j....f and the good sense of our people. Albany has made good progress this year. Several improvements have beed made of importance. Three new , . . , - .. , . bricks have gone up,a furniture factory and flour mill are being established and some good residences have been built. This city is not making any blow or bluster, but with its splendid railroad and business advantages it is bound to be a prosperaus inland city. The outlook for 1908 is certainly good, and without any hired boosters, de- pending upon the resources of the city and Us well established advantages the city is bound to progress, and some day it will have its DAY.
