Boosting tor Albany. The Albany Commercial Club is doing a good work. Under the management of Mr. Dasent, a clean man, able and experienced, a splendid foundation ia being laid for development. Building up a city is not accomplished in a week, month or year. Work done is done for the future. Without any grand stand or brass band plays the Club is going . ahead with its work, fortunate in hav ing a careful but energetic man at its I bead. The big Sunset advertising is hardly started. The splendid booster pam , phlets, to be sent all over the country are not yet ready for circulation; but with what mutter could be secured the Club has been meeting a big demund for information, and as well looking after u large correspondence. Things are coming our way, slowly but surely. ...i'very loyal citizen should do his share towards boosting every effort made-for a bigger and better Albanv. This can he ar-pnmnlinhprl nnlv bv unitv of action. A rrrpnf. nlnn-.nnr ! in successful development is harmony, and it's the duty of everybody to over look personal prejudiced and interests for the common good.

From tho lime he wont to Iowa until ho was 15 he did not see a rail road train. Tho family moved back to Howard county in 1804.

He has served the county in the legislature and was leader of his party in tho state senate. He has been city attorney during the last two adminis trations of Thomas Taggart. In 1900 Korn was nominated for gov ernor and dofcated. He has been pres ident of the Commercial club and al ways prominent in slate and civic move. menis. Mrs. Korn is prominent in so cial and literary affairs of tho city. Miss Julia Keen, the daughter, is well known socially. There are two sons, John W. Korn, )v., aged nine, and William H. Kern, now rivo years old. -Ex, Look ill the GU.sS. The Orogonian has discovered that Mr. Kern supported Mr. Bryan notwith standing the fact that he was a gold standard democrat, nnd has stood by tho democratic party through thick and thin. "That's the kind of a democrat Mr. Kern is", says tho Oregonian Certainly, good for Kern. This is a reminder. The Orogonion believes in tariff for revenue only, in fact less than that, but it's party has nlwnys stood for an unreasonable high tariff. Never Iholoss the Oregonian has always swal lowed tho ticket when it came to the rub. In fact tho Oregonian is tho same kind of a republican that Mr. Korn is a democrat, and there are o few million others on both sides just like it, The only point is that it is not fair for tho Oregonian or any other person to at tack Mr. Kern for doing just what many others do right along. Ml. Roose velt is more of a democrat thnn a re publican, but he stays by his party, and so is the Oregonian, but it stays by the party on account of its traditions only, not on account of iU present status. More human liberty has been taken away. A law has been pulsed in Okla homa requiring hotel keepers to furninh sheets at least nine feet long. DOUGLAS. The famous shoe man, numerously mentioned for vice president, a man who stands for strong principles, and has many friends throughout the United States who believe in him. Mr. Bourne s Right This Time. Jonathan Bourne is seriously troubled just now about Mr. Taft naming his successor, the same as Mr. Roosevelt has attempted to do.

Mr. Miller got what he was after the Oregon committeeship, which puts him in touch with the cam paign. Of course Portland wanted it, but got left. Miller was too much for the metropolis, which soured Hesry to such a degree that he effervesced' and slopped out of the can. Mr. .Miller didn't have to hi ve a seconding speech ready. He could attend to that with out any preparation. Senator Gearin did that act well, and not even the Ore gonian will be able to secure Miller s speech to place beside tho undelivered speech of Geo.

"Albany has gone anead the most during the past year that it ever has. remarked a discerning Albany woman at the depot this morning. The changes are marked. Numerous important im provements nave ueen made and are being begun. Work is being pushed on the new warehouse of Fish & Hodges, at the foot cf Ferry Street, to be used by Howard Bros, for a whole sale seed and cleaning house. This promises to be an important industry m Albany, one of the year's best improvements. Occasionally some one remaks that the new Albany depot, 130 b" 31 feet, is not very large; but it is well to re member that this is all depot, and is several times as bier as the old denot that was used for depot, practically only the office and one dinkey waiting room. The cement blocks made in Eugene are all right, and a force of men is now here ready to put them in place. The Elks building is ready for the brick masons, with several months' work ahead. The foundation is being put in for the residence of J. H. Simpson, said to be the best erected in the valley this seas on. The saw mill and planing mills running with a full force of men. Several new residences are needed in Albany for newcomers, for which there ! is a good demand. It is reported that work will soon be begun on the new W . O.

Albany people generally appreciate the good work being done by the Al bany Commercial Club tor the better ment of Albany, and that as well that it is not a meteoric matter, but one of steady development Mr. ThomDsoa. of the shiaele mill re ports a big sale ot shingles not only in Athfinv hut-, a.q well to adioininff towns. testing the capacity of the mill.
