any lime during the season. The
equality of western football with the
Univertiliet of Oregon and Washing

periority of the Northwst over the

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
FORMED BY 20 MUSICIANS
Public Will Benefit By Some

Albany is to have a symphony or
chestra. Under the leadership of Prof.
E. L. Wilson an organization is being
gathered that will do justice lo any
town in the ttate. There are many ex

enlist in this enterprise to form an
addition to the art endeavors nere.
In Portland large sums of money are
subscribed annually by the people of
that city to maintain a symphony or
chestra and that organization is look
ed on there as one of the principal as
sets Jo the promotion of the an of
music. With the wealth of material
available here a splendid orchestra can
tic anticipated this Winter.
One of the principal things bother
ing Prof. Wilson at present is the lack
of suitable quarters in which to prac
tice. The new junior high school build
ing would he ideal, but the absence of
heat Sunday afternoons, the only time
all of the members can get together.
makes that building impossible. At a
public affair where no profit is derived
by any member, a suitable hall should
be furnished.
The first practice will be held Sun
day afternoon at the home of Fred

FROM LIGHTED CIGARETTE'
An Overflow of the Gasoline
- Didn't Mix Very Well With
Gasoline.
The jitney of Kenneth Bloom, this
morning caught fire in a peculiar
way. He was at Ihe Rennell's garage
on first street, getting some gaso
line when the accident happened. The
tank was overflown a little, the gaso
line covering the pavement under
neath. A cigarette wat thrown down
into the gasoline, and immediatcjy
there was something doing. The fire-
flashed up enveloping the rear part of
the automobile. The fire engine was
railed out, and a squirt from the chem

NEXT CONGRESS PROMISES .
TO 8E AN AGGRESSIVE ONE
Ship Subsidy, Woman Suffrage
Tariff on Sugar Will Be -Big
Subjects.
(By XI. P. Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Nov. 5. The van
guard of political armies of the Sixty
fourth congress was assembling here
today. Congress will reconvene De
cember 6.
Within a fortnight, advance, meet
ings of "steering" committees are
scheduled. Party caucuses are arrang
ed. President Wilson is completing
data for his opening "address" which
it is understood, he will again deliver
in person.
The legislative program, already
largely framed promises unusual fac
tional strife, the fate of two or three
political parties being at stake and
presidential prospects, with many
booms due for puncturing, involved.
Shortly alter congress meets annual
conferences of Republican and Demo
cratic committees are scheduled lo
begin firing heavy artillery of the
next presidential campaign.
Legislation provoked, by war con
ditions promises to monopolize at
tention. The administration plans to
expedite passage of a resolution on
extending the war tax ta least an
other year. It expires Dec. 31. Anoth
er resolution for prompt action will
be that continuing the tariff on sugar,
now scheduled to go on the free list
in May.
Woman suffrage hosts are planning
a monster demonstration at the op-
cning of congress. Increased appro
priations for the army and navy are
regarded as certain. The administra
tion's Mexican policy is due for an
alysis. The discussion will determine
how important an issue it will be in
the presidential campaign.
Another big battle over the govern
ment ship purchase bill is believed in
evitable because of division among
Democratic House leaders. Among
Ihe political developments impending
will be the extent of Republican and
Bull Moose amalgamation and the de
gree of unity in the Democratic party.
Tbe house is expected to be the
arena of the sharpest controversies,
the overwhelming Democratic major
ity there of the last congress being
cut to a scant 25. The appearance of
new Democratic leaders there and 'he
return of Republican veterans like
"Uncle Joe" Cannon. William Mc
Kinley and "Nick" Longworth, lend
interest. Speaker Champ Clark, Re
publican Leader Mann, and Repre
sentative Kitchin, Democratic lead
er, are expected to be reelected.
