BOOSTED
By the Portland Daily Journal.
It is announced from Albany that it
is to have a milk condenser. The pres
ent capital is for a $24,000 plant, but it
is hoped that enough may be added to
raise it to $40,000. The valley city is
to be congratulated. The achievement
is a manifestation of that self help that
is a fundamental for progress. It is a
spirit to be fostered and that continued
will build for a greater Albany.
The environments of the place are
ideal for the new industry. A splen
did agricultural area stretches away in
every direction. The soil is as fertile
us the climate is mild. An all year
around green feed with its economy of
effurt is possible by use of vetches and
kale. It is a Dossibilitv open to few.
spots in the union. The milk product
of western Oregon is peculiarly favor
able tor condensing purposes, it com
mands the highest values, and is wide
ly sought. No industry is a better
agency for community construction and
tnritt malting than is tne conaensery.
1 1 is an industry that ref ertilizen the
soil instead of impoverishing it. The
combined opinion of experts is that
fruit and dairying is the ultimate des
tiny of the Willamette region. By
that testimony, Albany should be
pleased with its new activitj.

How the College Students
Dt
Shakespeare. '
The Merchant of Venice presented by
the college students last night was a
very creditable performance, ahead of
most of the college entertainments, con
ferring credit upon the participants..
A large audience appreciated it.
Founded upon Shakepe ire's popular
plav it was given a foot ball cast and'
local sideshows of a humorous order.
M iss Willctta Wright took the part
of Portia, with marked ability, Curtis
Cole did well in the new version of the
old money lender, ShylockNelson Wil--
bur was an excellent Bassanio, trans
formed into a foot ball player, but still
the lover; Mr. Joe Barry was particu
larly good as Antonio, captain of the
Albany foot' ball team, well sustuined
by Virgil Calavan as Gratanio, his
friend; Grover Birtchet made a hit as
Launcelot Gobbo and was called before
the curtain. The pretty parts of Ne
rissa and Jessica were well portrayed
by Rhoda StHlnaker and Nita Schultz;
Miss Lena Heinrich seemed cut out for
the new character of the preceptress;
Winifred McNair was just it as Mrs.
Gobbo; Gladys Eaton was at home as
Mrs. Antonio; Will Steel was right on
top of the part of the science professor
who-examined the brain of Antonio and .
found nothing in it, which cleared him
from Shylock's demand of a pound of
hair next to his brain. Victor Yates
fit in as a modern policeman in the old
show: Carrol Cushman as the judge,,
and Eva Cushman did nicely as Polly,
Portia's maid. And there you are, with
a good word for all of them, which they
deserve. The music by the college orchestra, .
under the direction of Miss Hanson, de
serves special mention. The sixteen'
amateurs gave a fine musical program,,
excelling many of the professional or
chestras. Local Minstrelsy at Roseburg.
The local minstrel show at Roseburg,
managed by J. H. Hearde, in Albany
last year, was a success. Some of the
numbers have a familiar ring: "When
the moon plays peek-a boo, "Jasper
JohnBon, Shame on you," "Somebody
lied," "How would you like to be my
wife," "lu Dahomey," "Cheyenne,"
"Keep Moving," "Lazy Moon,"
"Everybody was rrent for some one,"
etc. .Mr. and Mrs. Harry Holmes made
a nit with their stunt, a new one.
Among the local performers were
Messrs. Zurcher, the booster, Hilde
hum, Stubbs, Mathews, Wickham,
Perman, Patterson, Kidd, Bellows, and
Waldron.
Died at Corvallis.
