SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS.; In politics the same old fight is on, interesting because of the candidacy of Roosevelt, one of the most aggres sive men in the country, now thrown on the defensive in explaining matters hard to explain. Under the present outlook there is no doubt that Tnft will be nominated. On the democratic side it lays between Wilson and Clark according to the indications here, though on the Atlantic Harmon is claimed to have strength. The Dem ocrat will be glad to give cither Wil son or Clark a hearty support. Circuit court has been in session in Albany, a preliminary affair to get ready for the jury in the week fol lowing, a procedure that has much of merit. An early session of the grand jury is also a good thing, an ar rangement meeting with favor. A movement to give Albany a pub lic library of a size to meet the de mands of the future is a commendable one. I'erhaps Albany has no institu tion that is more universally popular than the library, one close to rich and pour and people of all businesses and professions, as well as ages from the boy or girl just old enough to read, to the man or woman close to the end. A movement for an industrial fair is attracting attention. It is meeting with favor. There arc those, though, who think these modern affairs are taking the attention of children off their studies; but what study can sur pass that of tilling the soil. A study might well be neglected a little if it will make better fanners. Hut the b'y or girl with gumption will look after the studying too. A city docs well when it eradicates from its institutions all the pit-falls in the way of the boys and girls. They arc not only entitled to the protection of their parents, which doesn't amount to much in some homes, but as well to that of the city fathers, who should use every effort possible in securing laws that will make a clean city for them. Perhaps the saloon is the greatest of all. That has been banished from the city; but there are blind pigs left. The puhlic dancc hall is a menace. That has been abolished. Skating rinks are a poor place un less run along absolutely proper lines. 'Cigarettes are a curse to the boys of the land, a stumbling block in the life of every hoy who uses them. Out on the street after 9 o'clock at night, as a rule, means trouble. There is a jaw requiring the written consent of parents. Helping boys and girls to get the right start is one of the most import ant things before our people, and it deserves consideration by everybody. C. H. WALKER OVER THE MTS. Bend, Oreg., Mar. 4, l'J12. Leaving Albany at 4:18 a. in. last Thursday Bend was reached by the I lai'i'iiuan line about 8 p. m. the same day, with over an hour's stop at The Dalles, where we make change of cars, thus having time to get a good dinner. The llarrimau line after reaching the Deschutes from The Dal les, crosses to the east side. The Hill line crosses from the North Hank road over to Deschutes side of the Columbia by the new steel bridge built over the Celilo falls. The two R. K. lilies collie together at North Junction opposite the Mutton Moun tains, then use one track for some miles cast side of Deschutes river to South Junction, where llarrimau line turns up the Trout Creek Canyon and up a long grade, coming out on the cast side of Agency Plains, thence south to Mend, crossing Willow Creek Canyon below Madras. The Hill line continues from South Junction on up the Deschutes, then cast up Willow Creek Canyon to Madras. The fanners were just beginning to plow on the Agency l'lains. Bend is certainly quite a lively "burg," with about 1200 population, and will be more lively when spring work opens. Klevation over .1700 feet, "ltest water in the world." Roads were dusty; but a snow storm I'Yiday p. m. with a fall of near two inches, melting Saturday afternoon, made the streets in Bend quite muddy, but not our Willamette mud. Bend is sur rounded by juniper timber, except on the west, where pine predominates. A concrete dam giver a fall of near 12 feet and furnishes power fur a flouring mill. The country for miles eastward from Hcnd is covered with scattering iuniprr trees, averaging about 30 feet i 1,,.;,.M The lands under irrigation arc scat-1 tercd through this timber, and have to be cleared, and besides the trees also of rocks, sage brush, etc, but I ...,..w o..K.o...,i. toitouito.io has a great future. .-.mimay nigni i organized r.astern Star grange some six miles east of ... , . , . . . . , ..v,.., ,.. iiiii.ius j hope organize several more granges in Crook county before returning to Al bany.

About the fastest game of basket ball ever played in Albany was that last night between the U. O. freshmen and the Albany high. U. O. won 28 to 23. First half 16 to 13, second 12 to 10. The two systems of basket ball were played in the halves, in the first throwing baskets from the dribble, in the sec- und after a dribble throwing to another player, or wiln one band from a dribble The points were made as follows: For Albany Beeson 13, C. Big bee 8, L. Bigbee 2. For U. O.-Vosper 13, Watson 5, Boylund 4, Parsons 4, Gould 2. On both sides there were sensational plays. Beeson again did star work making some sensational basketB, splen didly back d bv Carson Bigbee. Abra ham did good work at center, and one sensational basket was made by Guard uigoee. Vesper, forward, was the star for Eu genu, though a very rough player. Clayton Watson also did good work, and the U. O. team work was particu larlv effective. Maurice Bigbee was in the team, but was not put in against his two brothers. The crowd present was the largest yet at a basket ball game, the receipts oeing snout nu. The lineups were: U. O. Freshmen: Vosper and Watson forwards, Gould c, Royland and Parsons guards. A. H. S. Beeson and C. Bigbee for wards, Abraham c, L. Bigbee and rtyaus guards Officials: Moore referee, Fenlind umpire. HOUSE BURNED. The bouse of A. W. Bowersox, at Baker and Fifth Btreet was partially burned about 8 o'clock last night. It is rented by Mr. and Mrs. Jas. McAllister. At the time the family was down street. It was thought to have caught from the Hue upstairs, where the flames were mostly confined, the fire depart ment doing effective woik in exting uishing them, and keeping them above. Nearly all the things down stairs were gotten out by neighbors before the fire department arrive , but up stairs havoc was made witn tnings. A large crowd gathered at the corner and watched proceedings. News from Albany's Trains. Six Early The U.O. freshmen went to Portland with their basket ball to play Washing ton a second game.

The blind pig, out of sight, is bad enough. How things have changed. A modern motor boat is now running on the Dead Sea. Strange, but thousands of Seattle women voted witn tne saloon ana gamblers, ; Jusi advertise a thing below cost and it strikes the women every time. And the men too. People just outside the city limits will have to come inside if they want muni cipal privileges. There are Hooligan chumps in real life, men who get caught at the same trick over and over again. The republican papers are so busy over their own troubles they haven't any time to bother with the democrats. About time work was begun on the O. K. depot ir the road is to be be run ning into Albany by the first of July. The Corvallis G. T. is boasting of an egg 6 by TA inches. That's but a marble compared with the 8 by IM inch egg reported a while back by the Uem. Next time the editor of the G. T. of Corvallis comes to Albany he will need to bring a body guard. He refers to the Democrat man as "the Bill Nye of Oregon. Great is the straw ballot. The ap peal to Reason asked one, and the result was 65,628 for Debs, 64,726 for McNamara, 48.226 for Gompers, 41,384 for Roosevelt and only 426 for Taft. The U. S. supreme court in dissolving the Stanard Oil into 24 subsidiaries, it is now discovered handed John D. some more fortunes, about $60.000.U00 in all, and it is the same old trust just the same. More water has been put into the stock, that's all. The ordinance requiring electric signs to fold back should be amended. These signs are a splendid thing for a city, and there is nothing calling for such a provision, unless the signs are down 'ow.
