PICTURES AS EDUCATORS. There may be some foolishness about the moving pictures, but mixed up with it there is a wonderful basis for education and sight seeing. This week, for instance, Albany people have been shown the president as he appears in every day life in a realistic manner, scenes in the great event of the Fulton-Hudson celebration, a cen tennial anniversary attracting wide at tention, and sonic aeroplane flights at Rheiins, over the Atlantic, besides some industrial views, all educators of a high order, worth any one's time to see. But variety is the spice of life, and it is timely to have a few funny scenes and those of romance and art for diversion. Altogether the moving picture is one of the marvels of this wonderful age. BRYAN DRAWS. Mr. llryan continues to draw im ,icnsc crowds the same as he always has. The people like him and wish 'o hear him. When he speaks he ..ays something along lines of advan tage to those listening, fie is a great man and a great thinker, the coun try's best orator. Perhaps another Henry Clay. It is not at all probable he will ever be president, and he will do well if he will leave the Held open for others, as much as his friend: would like to see him in the presi dent's chair. It is more than a mat tcr of sentiment. ALBANY'S LIMITS. The boundaries of the city of Al bany should be extended. How much the Democrat is not'prepared to state; but as much as the city is able to take care of and give improvements in keeping with the needs of the district taken in. This is absolutely necessary or a city cannot grow. The fact that there are vacant lots in the present limits and a good many of them is no argument against it. There are al ways vacant lots in any city, little and big, and always will be. Some peo ple will not sell until they are ready, and allowance must always be made for such things, and a big one. THE CHINESE MISON. The United States has no minister in China, and it will have difficulty in securing one after its recent experi ences. Most public men, as much as they court distinction, do not want the Chinese commission. Mr. Crane had to resign because he did what the President does right along, talked a good deal, and told things he had no business to tell, prom a diplomatic standpoint. Several men are mentioned for the important place, but it will not be an easy thing to till it, so full of compli cations is the position from every standpoint, personal or general. A TACTFUL PRESIDENT. President Taft has been on delicate grounds while down in California, and he did well from a political stand point to guard his words in reference to the Japanese question. And yet on this trip he is supposed to present a clean breast on great public questions and ought to give the same views he would if preparing a message to con gress. It is interesting to observe the tact used by public men as they pass through a country, speaking in keep ing with the interests involved. ONE WAY OF DOING IT. A man down in Portland is under arrest for murder. A principal wit ness against him is a young woman. A wife does not have to testify against her husband, so the man has married the woman, and stands a good chance of being cleared. Not every woman would marry a man in such a case, but it is interesting just the same, and shows the capacity of man to meet the emergencies of life, lie is generally found on hand even at the altar. THE JOKING CARICATURIST. There was a small snow storm in the cast, and worse than that in some places, whereuptui the Oregon cari caturist made a winter scene of east ern weather that would make the north pole look tame and presented it as a sample of eastern climate WhiU a terrific exaggeration there i. a ve:n oi humor in it that is full of ginger. When it comes to weather the former easterner enjoys a joke at the epene of those remaining the oilier side oi Ihe Kockies. The Weather. Range of tentperuture :i-"t, being the coolest night yet. The river is down another notch, summer stage, .9 foot. Prediction: Fair tonight and .Sunday, with light frost in the morning. Louis Parker hiuI tieorne Lewis, of Portland returned homo aft.'r ii hunt rn the Parker lunn. They had the limit of roosters. I SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS. This north pole contention promises to be a main theme for some time. Mr. i'cary this week has been doing some more knocking and the readers of the world cannot help hearing it. Like most knocking it is having a back-acting effect and Mr. Peary con tinues to be the one hit with almost a universal sentiment against his con duct. He ought to go and hide him self for several weeks until he can get the freeze out of his heart. The entire country has been in tensely interested in the championship games of base ball between the two winning teams of the two greatest leagues in the country. So general has it been that even out in this coast state nearly three thousand miles away the result has been watched by old base ball players with almost local interest. Some have had preferences; but many have enjoyed the contests for the sport itself. Base ball has been wonderfully improved until when played by experts it is a match less contest. Tliis week some of the trophies of Teddy Roosevelt have been arriving from across the waters, giving the people of this country an opportunity to have an ocular demonstration of the prowess of the mighty hunter. The story of the different hunts from the pen of the Nimrod himself will be (he next in order, and some will read them, and others will not. This week the open season for shooting Chinese pheasants arrived and the annual slaughter if b:rds has taken place, that is, the first great attack on the birds, those unfortunate enough to be males, while the females have undoubtedly had to do some tall dodging. It is said that a young rooster is hardly distinguishable from the females, so that one wonders how the hunter manages to only hit males. A real sportsman never ought to shoot a squab anyway whatever the sex. Nor should one stoop to pot hunting, lie game and let the birds have a show. I This week Albany people had the privilege of hearing a distinguished man on the platform. It is a splendid thing for a place like Albany to have the advantage of a high-class lecture and concert course, and money is well spent that is put into such things. There is not enough of this kind of entertainment. Too much the mind has gone off into fiction. Gov. Bob I Taylor was particularly welcome with j his splendid story of Tennessee life, clean philosophy and moral and re ligious uplift. The President has been finishing up his long trip. It was a good thing for the people of the country to have ..:..:t r fl, .t;..t:., Mie iiiivuee ui mviin in, viiomi- j gulshed chief executive. At the same time it was a trying ordeal for the President; but such a trip really brings out the character of the man much more than his life at Washing ton. Among his constituency, face ( to face he has a splendid chance to show the stulT he is made of. Mr. Taft has shown himself a Roman i when among Romans instead of lead ing in thought when it might grate , against the nerves of his hearers. The President has good qualities, but he i is far from a great man. SHOTS. An Albany hunter soys that his dog got disgusted when he had pointed six or seven females in succession without shot at them. Ho declares that it is going to ruin the dogs, that a dog wants some shooting done for his efforts. According to all of the reports the hunters left the female birds. Not a hunter admits having shot a female. One tells of shouting a bird, just at sunrise, and thinking he had killed a female went and hid it, but when it was lighter made an examination and found it was a rooster. A big Portland man, with a dog and four men pheasants, at the depot, last night, remarked: "I hunt pheasants for the sport of it. Personally 1 had rather have a good steak, but its lotsot fun to tramp forty miles over the country, even it you can inly get live birds " Lawyer Kisley, trained at shooting Filipinos, got his live birds before noon' mM roosters. Hen Clelan says he saw fifteen roos ters nn.l throe hundred hens', but he s'aved with the law, though his dog stuck up his nose when the hens were allowed to go. One lonesome looking hunter started back for Portland without a bird. J. L. Green, the Portland deputy game warden, who was here at the opening of the season, and inspected about every bag in sitrht. reports it re marl able cleun observaace of the game law. Mrs. Fluella Turner went to Newpoit this afternoon. C. H. NEWS. New suit:L. L. Brooks agt. A. B Slocum to recover $231.70 for goods sold. C. C. Bryant attorney.

Judge Galloway held session this atternoon an adjourned without much doing. Sale was confirmed in J. F. Taylor agt. Mary E. McCoy. In Maud Lambert agt. Frank Lam bert, nonsuit was ordered on motion of B. S. Martin for the plaintiff. Orher matters will be heard this evening and tomorrow morning. Judge Galloway left this noon after disposing of the business of the term. The regular term will be held beginning the 11th of Nov. The following additional business was attended to: In Elvah Martin agt. the city of Brownsville, a demurrer to the com plaint was overruled, and a motion to strike out parts of the complaint was allowed. R. S. Martin and J. K. w eatherford appeared lor the plaintiff and A. A. Tussing and Hewitt & Sox for ihe defendant. Sale was confirmed in Tootle Weaklv Millinery Co. agt. A. J. and Minnie San ford. In the Merchants and Savings Trust r,o. agt. J. B. Tillotson, objections were withdrawn, and. upon motion of W. Brewster, of Portland, the sheriff was ordered to make the sale provided for in the execution. In Henry W. Beard agt. S. Spicey Cottrell Mrs. Eva Beard was appointed guardian of the four minors interested and a judgment was ordered as askeJ for. Some Big Fish. A. Austin returned from the Bay yes terday, where he had an enjoyable time fishing. He reported one of the best catches a 12 ponnd floun ler by H. N. Cockerline. of this city, who landed the big fellow in fine shape. The fish meas ured 28)6 by 18 inches. But one does not have to go to the Bay for big fish, This forenoon Elba Burnett, of this city down in the Third Lake, caught a black bass weighing 6 pounds, an immense one for this species of fish. And such a mouth. If the mouth could be weighed, hay scales would be needed. A Careless Hunter. Mr. C. L. Shaw, residing near this eity. is minus a fine $150 horse, as the result of a careless hunter before the season opened. So"i, one filled the shoulders of the animal full of shot and he had to be dispatched. Such carelessness- is reprehensible, and it is to be regretted the guilty hunter is not known. FEE RETURNED.

Pntont Oftfc, WASHINQTON, D. O. t OREGON Things That Are Boosting. Portland, Or., Oct. 13. Hop growers are having I heir innings, with the pre vailing quotation for the Oregon crop at 25 cents per' pound. The average price last year was 7 cents, in 1907 7 cents and in 1906 12 cents. The last high priced year was 1904, when the Oregon hop went to45 cents. Light crops all over the world are responsible for the prevailing high prices. The Oregon crop is the lightest since 1898. Preliminary arrangements are already being taken uo for the big bi-ennial national convention of the Ancient Or der of Hibernians, which will meet in Portland July 19-24, next year. A fast mail train between Chicago and Portland that will bring Eastern mail to Oregon in much less time than is now required has just been put on by the Harriman lines. The train will carry no passengers and will make the run between the two cities in 60 or 62 hours. Ground will be broken early in De cember for a big cement plant near this city that is expected to contribute largely to the supply of this building material used in this territory. The industry will have a capacity of 1500 barrels daily at the start, with provis ion for enlarged facilities later. It will cost $1,000,000. Astoria is in the limelight because of a splendic. building record during the Hrst nine msnths of the year. Im provements carried on by the munic ipality and business interests there 1 during 1909 total oyer $1 uuu.uuu. The Vtz7f7 . The person who reported the meeting of the W. C. T. U. held this week as the annual meeting, mast have been laboring under a misapprehension. We could hardly have two an..ual meetings in one vear. and we had al ready held one on the 31st. of August when a full corps of officers were elect ed as reported in the columns of this paper at that time. Mrs. Garrett declined to act as Pres ident for another year, having filled that office for tluve vearsin succession. and Mrs Brown was duly elected Pres ident; on account of her duties as State President, she in turn declined to ac cept the office.so Airs. Blain was chosen for that place at the meeting this week ; the other offices are being filled by the women chosen at the August meeting. Edna B. Barton, Retiring bee. At the hotels. W. H.

Tho Chinese pheasant sea9on opened this morning with a good many hunters in the field. There are the usual re ports of the violation of the law, prob ably exaggerated. It continues to be big sport without the females. A de cent hunter will leave those alone. Not many had come in at press time. Amone those who had Harry Halkyer of the S P. was onu of the first with fiye roosters. The birds are reported scarce: but the experts will have no trouble in get ting the limit. Bank Examiner Steel. Mr. James Steel, State Bank Exam iner, is in the city and has just com pleted the regular examination of the Firsr. Savines Bink. He found the atfairs of the Bank in first-class con dition and expressed surprise at the remarkable growtn ot tne institution, which has at the end of six months business, deposits to the amount of $172,000 00, and depositors to the num ber of five hundred. This is a record that speaks well for the growth of Al bany. Yaquina's Big Oysters. Dr. M. M, Davis, of Eugene, went to the Bay this afternoon, where he has large interests, including some fine beds of oysters. The large eastern oysters are doing well tliis year, and shipments are being made right along, mostly for the Portland marKet. inese large oysters are a splendid product and promise o develop into a big industry at Newport. There Were hour. The Democrat did Linn county an in justice. It gave the total exhibit from here at the Seattle fair as three glasses of jelly. Instead it was four glasses. t lie display was mace oy airs. J. A . -MeChesuey. and was a uooJ one. This was in the Oregon building.

Bob is a pretty good singer too. Some of those alleys look pretty bad again. Eugene continues to grow. It has a jack the grabber. The women pheasants are not hunting for the rights of men these days. The last, day of freedom for the Celestial roosters and some of the old girls too. John D. Rockefeller says that the men who quote the most scripture are not the best Christians as a rule. Wonder if Roosevelt left anything in Africa for other hunters. The list of things sent home is certainly preten tious. Linn county's exhibit in the Oregon building at the Seattle fair consisted of three glasses of jelly. Wonder how they got there. Portland is having a paving fight, one for better rates. Like other peo ple pavers are not in the business for their health. It is said that the woodwork on. the new high school building comes from Grants Pass, though the sub contract was let to a Eugene firm. The strrepr Qwppnpra hrnnma nro nl. ready about played out, one of them be ing badly worn and the other not very good. Metropolitan ways always bring men muuitmja. Remonstrances continue to come from Boston against woman suffrage. Some people there are working as hard against it woman elsewhere for it. A city can't grow unless it reaches out, and no city ever waits until all the vacant lots are occupied. No one can make a person sell unless he wishes to. uven nigh taxes wont always do it. Corvallis has begun the work of en larging the city boundaries. Albany must do the same thing. II should not attempt to take in too much, but it should reach out a reasonable distance. Taft advocates statehood when he gets down in the New Mexico country. Why doesn t ne do something to neip it along when Congress is in session. Thau's when it amounts to something to advocate a measure. Recently a husband and wife were viewing a moving picture show in Paris when the wite nerselt appeared in tne view at a public cafe with another man, a former lover There was a scene at once, the husband afterwards trying to shoot his wife. Eugene boasted of three nine inch peaches and now Corvallis comes to the front with one 10,4 inches. Pretty good for those places: but an Albany peach, one raised on Judge Stewart's tree, measured 12 5 8 inches. That is the Albany way. MARRIED. Ralston-Preston. In Seattle on Thursday, Oct. lp. at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Preston. Mr. John Meredith Ralston and Miss Edith Victoria Preston. The wedding was private. The groom is a highlv respected and prosperous business man of this city, councilman for several terms and dir ector of the public schools, and the bride, well known here, is a lady of splendid character and attainments. They have the best wishes of a large circle of friends. They will be at home after Nov. 15. TWO BERT ADAMS. And Both Committed Suicide A remarkakle story is told about Bert Adams, a former Albany painter who committed suicide at Ashland this week. Adams left hero Saturday tor Ashland, bought a revolver, filled up on whiskey and ended his career. Sev eral months ago a friend sent him a clipping from a San Francisco paper giving an account of the suicide of an other Bert Adams in that city, a man about his age, which this Bert Adams, frequently showed and joked about. His friends think it preyed on his mind. He had heen a hard drinker, but de clared while here that he was through with the stuff. He evidently changed Ms mind un again took to drink.
