WHY NOT
Make the Depot Environments
the Best in Albany,
The Commercial Club held a short
session last night, attending to routine
business. Work was reported on the
cannery. Tbe subscription has not all
been raised, but will be.
It was suggested that property own
ers north of the depot be urged to place
the property on grade with the depot
grounds, something which would add
materially to appearances. The import
ance of the surroundings around the de
pot being made attractive was enlarged
upon. A campaign for the neatest
place around, started by the Club, is
certainly timely and deserves to be re
spected by property owners and the
city. The old surroundings have been
the worst kind of an eye sore, creating
unfavorable comment on the part of
people passing through the city.

county's most prominent citizens, died
this forenoon, at the age of 76 and
Albany and Linn county lose a worthy
citizen. After an illness ot some time
he was gradually improving when taken

in his death.
He was born in Illinois, com'ng to

few years in California, then coming to
Oregon in June, 1857, settling near this
city, where he spent his life, a few
years ago moving to Albany.
He leaves n wife, many relatives, in
cluding two brothers, Thomas and Isaac,
three sisters, Mrs. N. Price. Mrs. Logs
don and Mrs. Wyatt, an uncle David,
and a host of friends to mourn his death.
The only child died when young.
He was prominent in the grange, a
director for manv vears in the Albany
Creamery Association and a Mason for
about fifty years.
The date of Mr. Froman's birth was
May 2, 1832, and that of his marriage

This week several bones were taken
through Albany in a box car, that were
bones colossal. Two of them are jaw
bones oyer sixteen feet long, indicating
that the animal which once ruminated

somewhat of a beast. They were being
taken to San Francisco. Recently tak
en from the ice up in Alaska there was
yet some flesh sticking to them, so well
had they been preserved. On account
of their size they have been attracting
considerable attention. A whole anim

Fleming would have more confidence in

HIGH SCHOOL
QUESTION.
Editor Democrat:
My attention has been called to a
communication, by Mr. Eugene Palmer,
relative to the high school question.
As a tax payer and one who is interest
ed in this movement, I beg leave to
correct Mr. Palmer in his statement
which reads: "The cost to the county
would be about $1 per $1000 assesment
for each school established." Since
that part of the Bchoola on which the
the vote is to be taken allows any dis-!
trlct or combination of districts to I
organize a high school, it is readily seen :
that if the above were true the tax
might grow to enormous propositions, ;
The fact is the law does not base the
tax leyy on the number of high schools
but on the number of high school punils
in the couniy. The one mill tax to
which Mr. Palmer evidently refers, is
an estimate on the assessed valuation
of Linn County property which is ap
proximately $21,000,000. This would
produce a high 3chool fund of $21,000
which would pay the tuition of about
600 high school pupils, for a term of 9
months, at the rate of 20c per day for
each pupil (the rate that Lane County
is now paying under the same system.)
It is safe to say that there are not 600
high school pupils in Linn County at
present or are there apt to be for some
years to come. Hence it is seen that a
liberal estimate has been made.
Another point, that might be men
tioned here, is that the county court is
not authorized under this provision of
our school law, to either purchase,
lease or rent grounds, build, lease or
rent buildings, or in any way use the
high school fund for purposes other
than is provided for in the petition
which reads as follows:
We request that the said County
High School be established and main-
tained as provided in the last paragraph '
of Section 3434 of Bellinger and Cotton's
Annotated Codes and Statutes of Ore-'
gon, which reads as follows: "Provid
ed further, that said Board may con
tract with the Board of Directors of
any district in the County that now
maintains, or hereafter maintain, a
school of high school grade, to teach all
Uounty High school pupils at sucn a
rate per capita, or in the aggregate as
they may deem right and just, and shall
pay for the same out of the High School
tund."
It certainly appears to me that the
county districts, above all others should
rally to the support of this measure.
Those districts which have 15 or 20
high school pupils can, at the tuition of
20c per day, employ the services of a
competent teacher, while those dis
tricts which do not have requisite num
ber will find any high school in the
county open to them without cost

answer that he had not been paid, was

the fault. The motion was denied, and

Too Large.
The bids for the new blocKS of Will

were opened last evening in Architect
Burggraf's office, and nearly made the
hair of those interested, stand on end.
For the Will and Stark building, 60

to be about $4,000 more than the estim
ates; for the Brenner block $6,428 to
$10,900. The bids were all rejected.
The total highest bid is about as much
as the cost of the larger and more
elaborate Elk's building.
The bidders were I. K Conn, and H.

Mr. Welch and Mr. Moyer, of Salem,
