A TREE
WORTH $100
Down ct Roner Bros, box factory
there is about as busy a place as one
runs across, due to a reputation for do
ing splendid work.
What attracted the Democrat man
that way was a report of' the product of
a black walnut tree from the farm of
Mr. Richardson, a prominent picneer
of Scio. Out of the tree Roner Bros,
are making three fine walnut bookcases,
just alike, for the three sons of Mr.
Richardson, to be given the young men,
splendid pieces of work.
But a better black walnut item was
struck. A tree secured off the farm of
Mr. Simpson, of Benton county, cost
approximately $100. It was about four
feet in diameter and some of the boards
cut up into 21 inch pieces, about two
thousand feet in all. Out of this a
dresser is being made for one of the
Ronet Bros, and two others for Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. K Sanders, pieces of furni
ture that will be ornaments to their
homes. There is plenty of the wood
left for otner things.
If you have some black walnut trees
don't burn them. They are worth gold.
The Baraccas.
The Baracca Club met at the home
of Miss Grace Crosby last evening and
an enjoyable time was had. A peanut
hunt was a pleasing event, Addie Ruiter
receiving the prize. The program was:
music Hazel Wallace, reading Mary
Whitney, song Merle Cornett, Beulah
Kauffman and Margurete Morrell, duet
Florence Eastburn and Grace Crosby,
a live minute speech by Mrs. Houser, a
song by the club.
Beside those taking part were Vera

ANNUAL
BANQUET
Of the Albany Commercial Club
-4-
The annual banquet of the Albany
Commercial Club was held at the Alee
gymnasium last night, with an attend
ance of about two hundred.
The spread was enjoyed. It was
furnished by J. B. Gentry and served
by a crowd of Albanyls best young
ladies and did credit to the occasion.
Following it Toastmsster J. S. Van
Winkle', whom Tom Richardson said
was the best in the state, officiated and
set things going, the first thing invit
ing the ladies of the Auxiliary, in the
gallery, down to eat with the men, and
as well Ihe B. P. O. E. band, which had'
furnished some splendid music.
President E. W. Langdon gnve a re
sume of the year's work, showing a
splendid progress. The club had re-1
ceived 2994 inquiries through the Sun
set advertising and 234 through the
Chapman ads, tho latter onlv costing
$20. Letters written 3417, booklets
sent 17,299. He showed the great in
crease along all lines, business general
ly 60 per cent, iron workers 100 per cent
in labor used, tanners from 22 to 33,
cement men from 16 to 25, bank capi
tal from $133,000 to $210,000, post office
receipts from $13,144 to $15,125. new
residences 75, drays from 7 to 17, the
population of the city nearly a thous
and, and of the county over 1500. The
price of real estate is 25 or 30 per cent
higher. There are 78 men employed by
the S. P. here.
The Club collected $7996, and has a
balancs of. $1430.02 on hand. Albany
has been united under the banner of
progress.
Judge Hewitt gave an enthusiastic
talk, followed by C. C. Chapman, ad
vertising agent of Portland, who spoke
on th i value of municipal publicity. E.
D. fusick touched up the subject of the
C. fi E. referring to Portland's opposi
tion to it. J. K. Weatherford after
complimenting Oregon on its splendid
showing of native citizenship, said the
railroads would come all right.
P. A. Young on behalf of the Club
presented the retiring manager, B. I.
Dasent. now in Portland, with an ele-
eant umbrella, an expression of the es
teem in which he is heli here, which
Mr Richardson took to him.
TIib great and only Tom Richardson
then took the floor and m.-Hie things
hum, speaking of the splendid change
here, and the immense v-ilue aavertis-
ing had done the city. He denied Port
land's enmity to the C. &. E. extension
project and boosted everything in sight,
declaring Albany must continue its
splendid worn, it it would keep pace
with the other cities of the valley, even
with its superior railroad and business
facilities.

THE C. km,
Editor Democrat:
The one important matter thataf oott
the fulure growth of Albany and i
fact the Willamette Valley proper i
whether or not the C. & E. R. R. i
early extended. While it is importan
that tho line should build acioss tin
state, it is a fact, that it extended fo.
only 50 miles from the present terminus,
it would oprn up a market for a par
tially developed country, ot 500,000
acres, now from 40 to 80 miles from the
present R. II. at Shaniko. This 50
miles extension would furnish a market
at their doors.
Few people have any conception of
the size or resources of the country this
extension would tap. The D. I & P.
Co. have the ditches built, and water
now in them covering 300 C00 acres of
farming lanrj. The C. S. I. Co. 27,000
acres, the Squaw Creek irrigations
project, 60,000 arces, townships of yel
low pine timber, the Haystack country,
capable of producing 5,000,000 bushels
of grain each year, but all so issolated
from R. R's. that further development
is impractible. Tho topography of the
country is such that to now reach the
present R R. is so steep, that freighting
is very expensive. To reach the plain
on which Shaniko is built, at an altitude
ot more than 3300 ft. can only be done I
by ascending a hill 5 miles long from.
Trout Creek at an altitude of 1670 ft.
Reaching a terminus that a 50 mile ex- j
tension of the C. &. E. would give finds
a level for 50 miles in every direction.
This is the country that Portland is I
asking Harriman to reach, by build-
ing the Deschutes road, at an 1
expense of more than $4,000,000. The
u. Ai rJ. would accommodate tne same
territory for $1,000,000 or less. One
summer would build it, while the
Deschutes road will take two or more
years for construction, It is not a nice
thing to say, but Portland business
men, Portland politicians and her in
terests generally, knock this extension,
by gross misrepresentation, as to the
grades and natural obstructions. It is
a fact that it is the one natural, easy,
and practical pass over the Cascade
mountains into Central Oregon, whose
citizen will co-operate with us, to secure
this extension, if we will only show
them, that we want their help. Shall
we reach out, and help ourselveses, or
lay down and quietly ossify
HOPEFUL.

Editor Democrat:
Some men on the street this morning,
discussing the slow progress of the
wont of putting in the new water main
on First street, said there ought to be
at least 50 men at work. It was de
clared it was not the lack of men to
hire. If this is so the water company
need some urging.
Uniil the main is completed and the
trench filled and settled the pavement
work canr.o begin. Albany ought to
be looking its best, within the next,
month.

May Revival.
The first of a series of weekly union
prayer meetings preparatory to the big
revival in the tabernacle to begin May
7 was held irt the Christian church,
closest to the tabernacle, last night,
with a good attendance. Rev. W. S.
Gordon, or the M. E, church, led the
meeting, and members of the Christian,
Methodist. Presbyterian. Evangelical
and United Presbyterian churches took
Eart with much feeling. Never before
ave the churches of Albany been so
i united in a work as in that for the com-
ing tabernacle meetings. Prayer was
the theme of the evening.
The strength of prayer comes with
attendant action.
I Praying and doing nothing is like
rowing a boat against a bank.
The man who prays with a locked
purse hunts with blank cartridges. t
"His words flew up, his thoughts re
mained below, words without thoughts
never to heaven go."
A consistent life helps drive the nail.
Men can be fooled, not God.
had a Close Call.
E, C. Heckman came up from Salem
to-day with a limp, on a visit with his
brother of the Commercial Tea Store.
He is lucky to be arjle to be here at all.
A week ago he was riding with a friend,
returning to Salem, when his horse be
came frightened at an electric car in
the suburbs, got beyond control and
dashed directly in front of the car,
which knocked him off and to one side.
He was picked up and taken to the
hospital, just getting out. It was de
cidedly a close call.
An Oregon Dawn.
On the tide of the morning, the
light
Came flooding the inlets of day,
And all the dark rivers of night
Were burnished with heavenly
ray.
Then the Angel of Light swung
open
The glorious gates of the dawn,
And the jubilant choirs of creation
Marched into the day snd march
ed on.
