: JABS 1 liy Jones Albany has long been deeply under obligation to the Southern Pacific for its excellent train service. Each day trains have conic and gone, three cacti way. This beat the old stage line and mule express so bad that it is only lately that some of the Albany people have found out that trains once an .hour, and oftcner at times, left Salein for Portland without hurting the town .a bit! Sow things arc coming to Al bany somewhat up-to-date, and the iirst tiling wc know we will .be whisked around over the entire state .at the rate of 50 miles an .tour in clcc trie cars. liy that time, perhaps, the .gyroscopic one-rail cars will be slam . ming people in and out of Portland at the rate ot JUUU miles an hour. Albany is situated in one of the rich: est and most fertile sections of the globe, it needs only capital and labor to develop its natural wealth to a de grec equal to that of France. We do not need to import dukes and land lord i sin trom Lutrope, but we can nn prove our methods of intensive cul Li- vation to a degree that some of ou farmers consider impossible now, Linn county is afflicted with farmers who have farms entirely too large to auord the returns that could be de prived from them. Some of our farm tcrs lose more time walking to and from and around their fields than would be sufficient to cultivate a smal ler tract at home from which they would derive greater revenues than .now received from enormous fields. The Oregon Journal of December Jlst not only had a very excellent re view of the growth of Oregon and Portland during the year of 1909, in- eluding descriptive articles of great value, but it had an article on the po litical advancements which has made 'Ojtcgon famous. This is not done in . the. attractive literature of the other papers of the state issued about this time, and the Journal is to be con gratulated on telling a little about the peculiar institutions of Oregon which, arc one of its chief advertising assets, and very much neglected by the rail road inspired descriptive literature of counties arid states. The initiative, referendum, recall, direct primary, at tract people to Oregon as much as her .-".apples, timber and other resources. CITY COUNCIL. Last Meeting' oK of the . Old Council.

THE EMPIRE. The past year has been a-, prosperous one for this popular theatre. In keeping- wjth our- universal reputation of being Albany's leading moving picture theatre we have made arrangements to secure all the big feature films for the coming year, as well as the latest and. most exclusive line of films pro duced, by the leading manufacturers at home and abroad. Ducing the past year all the first class, picture films have been shown at the Empire and they will be continued ta be shown at that theatre exclusively. They cost, .more and the Empire is. the only mov ing picture theatre in Albany that can, aitord to pay the price. Our business. is. one and we always give our patrons, the benefit bv obtaining Uie highest class of attractions. Places attempt ing futively to be competitors of the Empire always exhibit the "sore head" at the Empires continued success and prosperity. They cannot secure the nigh class and expensive pictures shown at the Empire, because their business will not justify it. First class shows have contributed to make the Empire the best, and practically the only, motion picture theatre in Albany. The. same policy will ever be maintained and whenever anything good is produced in Albany in the moving picture line the public may rest assured it will be found at the Empire, The Empire starts the New Year with the largest patronage ever accord ed the picture; business in Albany, and. for the coming week will show some of the greatest films ever brought to the city. The Johnson-Ketchel pictures just closed at tins theatre were the leading feature film of the year and are shown at onlv the best patronized and conduc ted tLeatres. In Albany desperate efforts by competitors were made to secure this film, but it came to the Em pire naturally, as "the best always. soeKS. the best. this mm camp direct to Albany from the Bungalow theatre in Portland, and is accorded the best . film both from a mechanical und money making standpoint, ever produced. It was not good for "sore heads', but cer tainly pleased the- public and got the money. During the coming year we welcome both old and new patrons with the as surance that neither time nor money will be spaired. to maintain the Em pires high standard of excellence, and the proprietor will always be found wearing the same sizd hat as he wore when he Iirst started in business THE EMPIRE.
