A Good
Opportunity.
Many men who are "WAITING"
today, trying to decide whether or not
to invest in Albany property, were in
the same unsettled frame of mind five
or ten years ago.
They lost their opportunities then,
and they are passing them by now.
Others bought then and made money.
They are buying today and making
money. While the "WAITING"
man's time never comes.
Make up your mind to do, then
ACT. Get hold of some good resi
dence property in RAMBLER PARK
at once.
The owners of this addition have
made the price so reasonable and the
terms so easy that you cannot afford
to pay rent any longer.
Call at our office and let us explain
our plan to you. Our experience and
our advice are at your service.

four turkies home from the Jefferson
shoot, and W. G. Ballock and Phil Bal

that he had heard from his father that
he was under suspicion of having com
mitted the robbery and was ready to
go back and face the charge. He was
turned over to the post omce authorities
and at once taken to Portland by a dep
uty marshal. Arriving in Portland last
brinay morning he was met there bv
his father, who immediately arranged
the $1000 bond which the government
requires, and Dock was released, re
turning to urownsvme wun nis mtnar
and is m w at his home near Crawfords- ,
ville.
It seems that the fact that the young
man left home on the morning follow
ing the robbery without telling his par
ents where he was going, which he has
otten done letore, led to nis being sus-
picioned as concerned in the robbery.
The further fact that the robber or rob
bers left a revolver in the post office
that Mr. Warner thought looked like
his, assisted in directing suspicion to
the young man. It turns out however
that Dock took his father's revolver
with him when he left home and had it
when arrested. The un is now in pos
session of ihe federal authorities in
Portland.
