BIG CHANGE IN 4 YEARS. An Oregon business man and his three sisters, the latter just from Ger many, this morning spent, three hours in Albany, while on their way to the Bay, taking a walk through the city. They were much pleased with the nice appearance of things, and wished to express their congratulations to the peo ple of Albany for their activity in build ing up a city to be proud of. The party have seen considerable of this world, but were glad of the opportunity to praise this western town. A pleasing surnrise was the absence of saloons, and the gentleman, a native of Ger many, said he hoped Albany would keep the city dry. He visited Albany four years ago, and wished to compliment our city on the wonderful progress that the city has made since then. He did not think so much of Albany on his first visit, but does now. The man snid: 'lt surely must be one ot the biggest lies the devil and a lot of selfish people ever told, that prohibition kills a town.'1' , The W. C. T U. The W. C. T. U. held an nteiesting and instructive meeting, at the home nf lha PpaaLlaiif VI ro T. R Hlnin nn I the afternoon of Tuesday, the 8th. The Countv President. Mrs. Mears. was (present, and told in a'delightful manner TV lid I. alio w auu ucmu a, bite iifftbivuai conventon, which she attended. She reported the prospects of the work encouraging, as evidenced by its growth and the interest manifested. More of the enthusiasm and earnest- : ness o5 Mrs. Mears is needed in the work in Oregon. I After considering plans for the ! County Convention to be held in Sept., refreshments were served, and the meeting adjourned regretting that more of the women of (Albany were not pres ent at this pleasant afternoon. I read recently that "the world is too busy, and there is too much to do, for any woman to give time to an organization that does not really do things." The "Womun's Christian Temperance Union" is really doing things, in various and needful ways, and sadly needs good helpers in this important work , Reporter. Need a Kailroad.
