We Want Extension Also. ! s Mr. O'Brien did a good thing when he put that depot in the right place, and a good one. Albany had tried other managers for a long time without any result. Mr. O'Brien appreciated the situation and acted. Mr. O'Brien and Albany people are on splendid terms now. We have eaten together and are getting to know each other and that is something that counts. Having learned that Mr. O linen is a good friend of the city and we of Mr O'Brien the suggestion is timely that we get together and extend the C. & E. over thu hills into Crook county, something that is needed. . Mr. Wood says Mr. Hill is the man who does things and Mr. Harriman does not; but as a matter of fact Mr. Harriman has done a good many things and ho will do others, one of which will undoubtedly be the extension of the Corvallie and Eastern, which we are waiting for and will keep asking for as earnestly and diligently as we did for the depot, and it is ten times more inv portant. Mean Wire Pulling. Down in Portland a gang ef political renegades have combined for circuit venting the will of the people of Ore' gon, by defeating the election of Gov Chamberlain. The most underhanded methods are being suggested. All manner of schemes are being concocted, one and then another. Arguments have been put forth that would make a ten year old child look silly. U. S. senators ought to be elected by the people. Under the present laws they cannot directly, but under the laws of Oregon they may be indirectly, which is the same thing. Mr. Chamberlain was elected this way, just as binding as if the constitution of the U. S. had been amended providing for direct elec tion, and he was chosen under it. Of course Mr. Cake cannot be mentioned, but it would be just as honorable to attempt to have him elected now as any ono else. With no sense of honor this gang is at work in the dark. Will they succeed in robbing the people. Tilings Are Working vVell. The recent reception and banquet for the Portland and other visitors was a ten Btroke. not simply as an advertise ment, but as an Albany enthuser and harmony maker.

This week the country has been keep ing track of the returning piosperity loot during the reign of Mr. Roosevelt, and created by the election of Mr. Taft. The Democrat hopes the pros perity is genuine and isn't just a bubble. As a matter of fact a general expres sion of prosperity helps, to make pros- prosperity, because disaster is often a creature of the mind, and men some times are more financially ill in their minds than in their pocketbooks. Op timism is a goad thing anyway, even if one has to slam one's best friend, as is being done to create it. ... Three hundred people this week were killed in a mine in Germany as the re suit of Borne fire damp. That sounds pretty tough and is a horrible thing not only for the men themselves, but for their families. It was one of the mis fortunes of business. On the other hand since last Saturday night two thousand have died in the U. S. from the drink habit, cut shor. years before their natural time throigh their own act, causing poverty and misery often for years before the final wind up. In a sense the horror is just as great, and yet it comes in such a way as to hardly be appreciated by the masses. This has been a great;. week in Al bany, one which will have material ef fect on the fortune of this part of the valley. More than anything else that has ever occurred it has emphacised the fact that this is not only an apple coun try now, but is the making of a great ono, one which will stand with any apple country in the world. More than that the flavor of the apple raised in non-irrigated soil is farjahead of those raised whore irrigation prevails, and this is undoubtedly true of other things. Anyway the great point is that this is going to be an apple raising country, without a superior in the world, and some day Willamette attached to an apple will give it a standing in the world. There is no better sign these days for this valley, than the spirit of unity that is being created, something that has been needed for years. It should be cryBtalized and made permanent. This week another move was begun for an endowment of $50,000 for Al bany College. A bulletin reads: "We began, we halted, we rested, we began again; we now have hope be yond our original ambition." Now it is said $10,000 raised here will mean $10,000 elsewhere, $50,000 in all. May this full amount be raised. It will be a big boost for Albany as well us the college. Think of Albany without Al bany College. Think of it on its feet. The church which fathers the college, has been a slow father to it, and should make a splendid showing itself in the hustle and a big one. That is right, ' and it is time for it. Then push it for keeps until the $50,000 is completed. I'cisoiul Liberty.

This apple fair is an eye-opener to newcomers. Next year look out for an apple fair twice as large. It was an immense apple touchdown, and Albany won. Salem Cherryites captured Albany's Red Appleites all right. Will Fulton have a'place in the coun sels of the new president. Apple packing iB a science with mon ey in it for the learner. A good many.idle men passing through the valley who need to be watched. One thing Portland needa is for the newspapers there to pull together. A 27 hour train between San Fran cisco and Porland is a coming event. William Martin, a prominent farmer of near Brownsville, has been in the city today. A woman has been found brave enough to fly in an aeroplane. It is getting practical. Joe Leiter has been losing consider able of his fortune on the exchange. Wanted more when he had plenty. Linn county needs a first-class fruit inspector, a man who does things. Mr. Roberts has been that kind of an offi cial. The Grange of Linn county hasstruck a splendid key note of progress in the proposal to have better roads leading into the market towns. The member of the next legislature who resigns his position in order to de feat Gov. Chamberlain for the U. S. senate might just as well go and dig his grave. The Scio News suggests that farmers, like other business men, should have neat letter heads, with their business and specialty. The idea is a splendid one, fcucn tnings count. Salem people declared it was a fact that Col. Hofer is really a candidate for Governor. One could tell that with the way he smiled at all the gills. A man running for Governor has to do it. The county court of Douglas county has issued on ordor that no more dock ets shall be printed for the lawyers in the circuit court. That's economy with a vengeance. Both Crawford and Burkhart secured pictures' of the apple fair display. The sending of them away will be a booster. They should be put in post card form as well as.in the larger shape. Tom.

An observing Albany man observed that just as Foreman Buley put the key in the new depot for the formal open ing, the sun came out, the fog fled, all nature seemed to rejoice, certair.lv an auspicious opening. This county should have a fruit in spector. The development in the past vear under Fruit Inspector Roberts has been a pronounced one, no county in the vallev makinir a better showing. The good work should be kept up. Judging from the reports in the papers of thi wonderful return of pros perity following the election of Taft the republicans made a great mistake four years ago when they elected Roose velt instead of Taft. Had Taft been elected the country would havo been saved the recent panic. Too bad! Several valley counties are making arrangements for good appropriations for road building. Better roads are in the air all through the valley. Linn county should stay up with the proces sion by making a good sized appropria tion lor tne worK- i,ec us give the county the best roads to be secured. It is money splendidly spent.

Already it it is said about three hun dred families around St. Louis are con templating coming to Oregon and se curing some of thislproperty for homes. THE BAPTIST MEETINGS. V great sermon. This is almost the universal testimony of those who were present and heard Mr. Jones at the Baptist church last night. In substance he said: Three Steps In The Spiritual Life are based upon the following text, "Repent ye, and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ unto the re mission of your sins, and ye shall re ceive the gift of the Holy Spirit"; Re pentence is necessary. It involves a recognition of sin, forsaking sin. tum inirto Christ by faith. A child's defini tion of repentence fs "fts being sorry enough to quit". Six baptisms were witnessed by about 230 people, giving a tangible illustration of the truths of the sermon. Three services to-morrow will be an epoch maker for thn religious life of the city. Following the Bible school. Mr. Jones will preach upon "Home Religion" athreeo'clock meet ing for men and boys exclusively, and the great rally in the evening when sermon and song and personal work and prayer will combine under God's Spirit to win many to the Son of God. At all services an opportunity will be given to make a large offering to the evangelists who have labored so faithfully the past three weeks. Every one who has re ceived Christ in anj way should be present to receive a letter prepared for them. DWe have one of the finest lines of engagement and wedding rings ever shown in Alhnnv 1?
