About the Snow
A little winter weather is nothing to
look savage about. During the past!
twenty years the Willamette Valley
has hardly had enough of the stuff to
speak about. Many winters there has a large audience was delighted with

Altogether the weather of this valley; all wonder, closing with the cabinet

news. As a matter of fact the snow is
probably a good thing for the country.
Healthiest City 11 the World.
It is always considered a big item in
i the assets of a town when the death
rate is low. It is doubtful if any place
in the world offers a lower rate. As
carefully kept by Dr. W. H. Davis, the
health officer, that of Albany is less
than Ave in one thousand for 1908.
There are numerous things conduc
ing to this: The water here is untaint
ed; the city has a splendid sewer sys
tem; the location is healthy, cleanliness
is the order in the city, we have a
splendid corps of physicians to look
after our ills and drunkenness and ca
rousing do not prevail here.
The record is one we may well send
broadcast.
Electric Lines.
i The Eugene papers are doing some
boosting for securing an electric road
up the valley as far as that city. It is
certainly a good thing to boost. It is
being learned more and more that these
roads are splendid developers, and that ,
they mean much for a section of coun- j
try, hence the general desire to secure
them. Along an olectric lino one al-1
ways sees fine homes erected, pretty
garden spots, good farms, and they!
bring business to a town, offering com.
munication ten or fifteen times a day.
Albany wants a line up the valley, and
is anxiously waiting its coming.
Eugene is now laboring with the
