JUST KEAD THIS
. Soma time ago The Democrat com
mented upon the unfavorable repuu
lion inat Albany waa apt to receive
aa a result of freakish laws, petitions,
etc., the .)iig persisted. First il
was dos and then bees, and others
may have dinuent ideas u red with
wr. vi.niun:s ror runner use jn
making- Albany look like a joke to the
outside world.
1 ne Democrat w, njrht in its pre
dictions, for Col. Hofer. in his Manu
facturer, a trade Journal published at
Salem, took the matter up and the
few lork Times reprints the Manu
facturer's story about dors. Read thi
and decide if you want this kind of
advertising to continue:
"Orefron newspapers have boasted
that in the City of Albany they have
the very ultimate in "slow" towns The
Manufacturer, published at Salem.
aays of it:
" The town was actually too quiet
for a Presbyterian college to live and
churches have been forced to consoli
date or go out of business. Children
are still produced by the poorer class-
es, but its streetcar line was pulled up
some years ago. It has been strontr
for Chautauquas and Three-finfrered-Jack
revivals, but even they have been
running behind for lack of interest. In
old days saloons helped a little aad the
town had a brewery and farmers and
loggers came in from the country and
once in a while the City Marshal had
something to do and someone got into
jail. But the jail is permanently clos
ed and the Elks' Club is the only
wicked place tn town.
However, there is a limit to all
things, and when Albany took a refer
endum on the question of prohibiting
dogs on the street, the citizens had a
noisy campaign over the issue and
voted it down. The dogs have now
taken hold of life with renewed zest
and are disporting themselves with
new zeal. The citizens are still talk
ing over the election, and it looks like
the dog issue has put the place back
on the map. There is talk of holding
an election to vote bonds for a new
engine house, and a Citizens' Commit
tee is at work on the project of re
pairing the sidewalks. Albany hit the
bottom, and is on the upgrade, probab
ly due to the stimulation of municipal
life by the dog issue. Seattle Post
Intelligencer. Albany has more serious work to
do than entertaining the outside world
with iueh rot At the head of the
Chamber of Commerce is a man with
broad business experience, sound fore
sight, energy and a determination to
do things for the betterment of the
city. Krank J. Miller thoroughly be
lieves in the future of I.inn county
and is working for a bigger and bet
ter Albany. If the promoters of freak
legislation will devote their eneryie
to helping Mr. Miller, Albany will ill
deed be all that he hopes to make il.
I. inn county is off with a big leaf
today on the last lap of paying for
her share of the war debts. Not pay
ing for them, but loaning Uncle Sam
a little gob of the necessary nioiu-y at
a good rate of interest and unJer piosl
favorable conditions. The thought of
the fact that 60.000 Americans died
in France, and that 1W.000 more
would have died before this time had
not the armistice been signed, is go
ing to have a mighty big influence
with many people who put patriotism
before dollars.
