ALBANY COLLEGE.
Albany College this year will cele
brate the fiftieth anniversary of il
establishment In a humble way it ha
played its part welt, doing a splcndic
work for the cause of education. 1.
its efforts for advancement the col
lege has always considered charade:
as big an asset as book learning, an
the result is a alumnus of high-class
citizens, prominent in the work of so
ciety and the church. The list of grad
uatcs is not as long as those of some
colleges with state support, but it is
a good one, and generally clean in
character.
With an endowment of $250,000 all
paid, the prospects for the future loo
good, ilore money is needed, a fun"
for new buildings, which will eventu
ally come, giving the college what is
needed, a working plant, which will
enable the school to do special work.
' so much in demand among students.
' At the present time a good many arc
going elsewhere in order to secure
special advantages, for which there i
now insufficient provision. Along
general lines of education Albany
College has no superior as an educa
tor, furnishing the foundation for a
solid education.
Albany people are in a position to
do a big service for the school, and
. one way is to send their own children
there.

DUN ON CONDITIONS.
At the close of another epochal
year this country occupfes the position
of international supremacy in finance,
commerce and industry, and optimism
is universal as 1916 opens with pros
pects bright beyond precedent So
much hesitancy ordinarily character
izes the business situation at this sea
son that the prevailing activity is
noteworthy, if not surprising. Though
inventorying and other annual adjust
ments cause a temporary halting in the
advance in some lines, especially in
wholesale channels, the lull is much
less general and marked than usual,
and certain branches even reflect fur.
ther substantial progress. Instead of
diminishing, as is customary- at this
time, demands in several important
departments show a continued in
crease and rarely, if ever, have manu
facturing forces been so largely cov
ered by contracts at this period.- This
ensures full employment well into the
new year and is a condition that re
sults, not from mere speculation, but
from actual consumptive require-
. ments that in many cases exceed pro
ductive capacity. In most industries
it is not a question of finding buyers,
but of. how to make specified deliver
ies on previous orders, and in not a
few instances the volume of business
would be still larger were it possible
to promise definite shipments. To a
considerable extent, distribution con
tinues to be hindered by the freight
congestion, and the railroad embar
goes on coke 1-avc necessitated the
shutting down of a number of fo,uii-
. dries in the east for lack of this fu
el. Similarly, though due to a differ
ent cause, the scarcity of dycsttiffs
acts as a check on textile manufac
ture; yet even here the mill3 are very
actively engaged, while New Eng
land footwear factories arc assured
of capacity operation for several
months to come.

NATIONAL FOREST BUSINESS
Government Report Shows That De
partment Had Considerable
of an Income.
Portland, Jan. 4. According to the.
Annual report of Henry S. Graves,
chief forester, for the fiscal year, end
ed June 30, 1915, the iintionul forest
receipts for the year amounted to $2,
4X1,409. 35. ' "
This amuuiit, it is stated, was the
result first, of a timber sulc business
of $1,175,133. The amount contribut
ed by District 6 (Oregon, Washington
and Alaska) to this timber business
was approximately $207,000. The sec
ond source of the national forest re
ceipts was gnuing permits which
brotiKht in $1,1.(0,495, to which sum
District 6 contributed $120,210. The
third source of national forest reve
nue, special use, brought in $175,840.
of which sum District 6 contributed
over $18,000. Of this latter fitturc
$10,000 was for water power permits.
Thirty-five per cent cf these, receipts
reverts to the states in which the na
tional forests are located.
The report also states that in ad
dition to the timber sold, there was
nivcn away a large amount of mate
rial to settlers free of cost, the value
of which approximated $207,000. The
revenue foregone through free use
of grazing lands is estimated to exceed
$120,000. Other miscellaneous free
uses would yield if chnriied for, ap
proximately $100,000. These values,
it is pointed out, have never been en
tered formally as a credit to the For
est Service business, yet this should
be considered among: the very defin
ite benefits from national forests.
The average price of atumpage dis
posed of in commercial sales was
$248 per thousand board feet. .The
increase of 16 cents over the price of
1914 was due chiefly to large snles of
Western yellow pine in Oregon, eas
ily logged and of unusual quality
Broadly speaking, there has been no
increase, so the report says, in the
value ' of Western stumpage during
the past eight years, and hence no
ground for a general advance in the
prices of national forest timber. The
timber sold to settlers and farmers at
cost, brought an average of 74 cents
per thousand board feet. In District
6 this class of material brings 50 cents
per thousand board feet and 25 cents
per cord for cordwood.
The receipts for grazing permits
show an increase of $127,091 over 1914
due partly to the increase in fees
charged for grazing of cattle and hor
ses, and partly to the increased num
ber of the former. Improved meth
ods, too, have increased the carrying
capacity of the range. Perhaps the.
most striking feature of the national
torest grazing business in the increase
in the number of livestock associa
tions cooperating with the Forest Ser
vice., They numbered 226 at the end
of the fiscal year, an increase of 60
over 1914. In District 6, there are 44
of these associations cooperating with
the service. The Forester points out
that the desire on the part of stock
men to be thus recognized by the For
est Service emphasizes their general
satisfaction with the grazing adminis
tration, and adds that this cooperation
has been very beneficial to the serv
ice in working out many grazing prob
lems. Expert watch and clock repairing at
