About Albany democrat. (Albany, Or.) 1900-1912 | View Entire Issue (Feb. 26, 1909)
Too Much of a Jump. The Democrat remembers only a few years ago when the Oregon legis lature was severely criticised for going above a million dollars in the amount of appropriations, and it was not many years ago either; but now almost at a jump the four million mark is reached, if not passed, and the population of the Btate had not begun to have increased sufficiently to juBtity it. The legisla ture is simply going beyond the means of the state in its extravagance. The people might just as well make another test and fight it out. By only a small majority the U. 0. appropriation bill was passed, and it was a tame affair compared with some of the appropria tions of the present session. The legis latiire has gone too far that is all. It has been done In the customary trading method. Ditferent counties having pet measures in order to cecure their pas sage have traded right and left and by enough of such dnings any old bill has been passed rcgurdless of Its merits, Th it is enough to make one s ginger rise to the highest heat. Adverllslna Oregon tun at Washing- Senator Fulton treated the senate to a couple of Chinook salmon, and they had plenty to go around. It was a fine advertisement for Oregon, the same as those boxes of apples Senator Bourne passed around among the boys. A live U. S. Senator can put his state on the map in a very emphatic way if he has the snap. In tnat respect Oregon will be fortunate in having Senator Cham berlain back in Washington, for he is a man who does things. With great re sources at his command he will be found a splendid representative of the Btate with its matchleps natural advan tages. Room At the l op. There is a man down in Portland who plays baso ball bo well and knows how to run a team in such a superior way that a man has just come all the way from Chicago to get him to sign up for the coming season's games. A man who mastors any kind of business never has to go begging for 8 place to keep busy. The world is hustling from end to end after men who know what they are about in every line, and you never see Buch fellows idle. Fielder Jones has the snap for success In other fields. He has had his day at base ball and does well to settle down in this garden spot of the world and make it his home. Ilnve One Ovei 95. Tho Orcgonian wants to know of people in Oregon over 95 years of age. Linn county has at least one splendid specimen of such a person, Mr. James Blakely, of Brownsville, now visiting friends in Portland. He was 9G yoars of age last November, and is in such good health that he can take a ride to Portland, His hearing is remarkably good for one so old and he goes about without glasses. Linn county is proud of this pioneer resident of Brownsville. May he get into the 100 year class. He has earned the privilege by a well spent, manly life. Better Than None. According to reports from the East Mr. Harriman is going to build the road down the Deschutes, one which people generally believe is the least advantageous of the throe proposed routes; but it is a very satisfactory thing, though, to have any road built Into that country. The people along the Cascades en the other side are en titled to a road. The Democrat be lieves the proper road is the extension of the Corvallis and Eastern, not mere ly because the most interested in it, but from a business standpoint for the road itself.

Saturday Night ThouKhii-. The state legislature this week fin ished its session, with a bad smell. It started out in fine mettle by electing Gov. Chamberlain U. S. senator, some thing it had to do, but since then it has spent all its time back scratching, per forming a combination of trades that would make a Comanche Indian ashamed of himself. But this legisla ture has proceeded unabashed. For tunately it will be two years before our people can be afflicted again, and then, well, will they then do it over again, elect the same kind of men to run their business. . A new block in Albany was dedica ted this week, with an immense crowd present, one of the finest buildings of its kind in the country. Its location is a timely one, one which promises to be popular, covering a place that needed to be covered with a business block, There are others; and the Democrat expects to see a good many fine blocks go up, and there will be renters for thorn. Good business blocks are great advertisers for a city. A store like that of Chambers & McCune always attracts attention in a city, a practical booster. Nevada for a long time the center of gambling this week took a strong stand against it in a session of its legislature. This will work to the benefit of that state, Gambling may make a certain kind of life in a mining camD, but it has a disgraceful twang to it which does far more harm than good from any kind of standpoint. 4 It was reported again this week that Mr. Harriman was about to proceed wich some railroad building. Then, al of a sudden people remembered that the state legislature was in session and began to wonder if there were several bills It was desired by the railroad com panies should not pass, one particularly, when it was realized that perhaps after all there might not be so much rail lay ing. ... St. Valentines day came and went. It is improving in sentiment. The class of valentines mailed has improved won derfully. It is gradually growing into a day of expression of good will, the propper thing, and it will be well when the little cheap john caricatures are eli minated fiom the market entirely This is being done in some places. It is much better to throw roses at one's friends than briars. PERSONAL AND SOCIAL C. J. Shedd, was in town today. John Chance, of Portland, arrived this noon for an Albany visit.
