TALKED
APPLES
At the Monthly Get-to-Gether
Meeting.
The monthly frat.tn.crMfidP niAAtlntr
of the commercial club last night was
an apple affair preeminently. Apples
were talked until the air was red.
It is a good subject and Linn couniv
does well to make it an issue at this
time, long neglected.
J. is. ilolbrook presided in a pleasant
manner.
D. W, Rumbaueh was the sneaker of
the evening. He said auulo trees
should be set out about 33 feet apart.
That in apple culture the great thing is
to fight the scales, scabs and moths,
and the fignt must be made right if ef
fective, and persistently, but tho dis
eases are easily controlled if tho spray
ing is wiurougn. a ne sou neeus to ue
properly cultivated and fertilizers may
be needed. The apple in demand is the
one running from 90 to 125 per box. In
Los Angeles he said his daughter re
ported Oregon apples at the hotels at
25c each, and on the street 2 for 25c,
while California apples were four for
25c.
Judge Stewart made his report on the
Albany apple show which he pronounced
a great success, exploiting bmn county
as a place for the raising of commercial 1
apples. Four ysars ago when the show
was started there was only one com
mercial orchard in the county, now six
or seven, including the Linnhaven,
Dickover and the new Linn County Col
ony. In the Portland show we lacked
'quantity. The quality was there, and
Judge Van Demeh pronounced the color
the best he had seen. Quantity counts
50 per cent, hence Linn county stood no
show, and individual exhibits must be
by the grower. I
M. Senders spoke on getting mami-1
i factories. The best is starting and
', building up, avoiding promoters. j
Wm. Barrett, recently in the east,
I said the reaBon given for not establish
ing machinery factories here is because
of higher price of fuel, lack of ex
perienced help and the cost.
Others called out were Prof. Bradley,
Dr. Granger recently from Dakota, Mr.
Freeman fiom the same place, Mr.
Mayo, up on the Santiam, G. W. Wright,
who had an orchard of three thousand
trees, and is now making a specialty nf
peaches, gooseberries and walnuts, add
E. A. Johnson.
The regular Churchill feed followed.

KRUTTSCHN1TT
IN TOWN,
Julius Kruttschnitt, traffic manage
of the Harriman lines, next to Presi
dent Lovett himself, acc -n:iu by
Assistant Traffic Man
General Manager O'Brien of the North
west system, were in Albany last even
ing a few minutes, long enough to take
a look at the park Albany people ure
erecting for them. They went out to
Lebanon and viewed the new road to
Crabtree, returning and going to Port
land. Their principal object in a trip
up the valley in their special train was
to see what operations had been trainer
on along the Natrn tx'.ension towards
Klamath Falls. On their way back
they were given an automobile ride
over Eueene, spending about on hour
looking over the city.
Mr. Kruttschnitt made the import
ant announcement that the road to
Klamath Falls would be completed by
July 1912. when the running time be
tween Portland and San Francisco will
be lowered to 22 hours, less than a day's
run.

Eugene, Dec. 11. Having occasion
tn hp in Alhnnu la.t uimI. 1
10 look over ,ne m.ny ,'mpr0ve!r.ents
which have been made since I was there
last May.
Among the many now build'ngs I
noticed the new depot hotel built by
the Vnndran Bros., which is a credit to
any city. The next was the Armory,
a very fine building; then the Schmitt
building ut 3rd and Broadalbin, a hand
some two story pressed brick structure;
Cusick Block, the Curl Abstract oflico,
the fine High School building and many
other business buildings and new dwell
ings, a credit to Albany. It shows
that Albany is taking no back
seat for any city in the Willamette
Valley.
Eugene will Borae time in the future
celebrate the completion of her water
power, and shortly after the comple
I tion of the Panama canal will celebrate
the completion of her city hall. By
that time Albany will have spread out
around Spencer Bulto and Eugene will
be a small suburb of Albany, the Hub
of the valley and the coming city of
tne west. ,
Eugene is not slow by any means
and will get there too; hut keep your
hands otf Eugene. While you are
waiting for the results you may need a
m.-numont; if you do come to Eugene
and see the ROOSTER.
May Roberts in Paid r Pull.
Last nip-ht Mav Rnherta And her
company not only fulfilled every ex-
! pectation but went far above expecta

classed as among the best performance
Albany has had for u long time. Too
much praise cannot be bestowed on the
excellent rendition of this wonderful
play. May Kouerts herself was excel
lent as was Mr. Victor tiillard, and all
tho members of the company showed
that they were finished actors in th?ir
lino.
