Are Observing Anniversaries
in This City.
JUDGE VANTASSELIS45AND
CHIEF POLICE AUSTIN IS 53
Capt. Frank Powell Observes
36th. Anniversary; Walt
Worrell Is 45.
Continued fro Thursday, January 30.
That the thirtieth day of January
is a popular birthday is indicated by
the fact that several prominent citi
zens of this city are today celebrating
their anniversaries in this city. Four
of them are men that are employed in
the service of the people, two of them
being in the employ of the city and
the other two of the United States
government.
Police Judge F. E. Van Tassel, who
presides over the affairs of the mu
nicipal court and of the city record
er's office, is today celebrating his
44th birthday. He wasn't aware that
anvone outside of his family was ac
quainted with the fact that his birth
day occurred today, but" it became
known nevertheless, and the genial
official has been busy today receiving
the congratulations of .his friends.
Judge Van Tassel, who is one of the
most efficient officials that the city of
Albany has had for some years, was
bom on January 30, 1869, in Durand,
Illinois. He received his education,
in the schools and colleges of Illinois,
Wisconsin and Michigan. He is a
graduate of the law department of the
University of Michigan, class of 1893.
Following his graduation he began
the practice o'i law in the city of Rock
ford, Illinois, where he remained un
til the summer of 1910, when with his
family he moved to Oregon, locating
at Albany. H e rapidly became ac
quainted with tiie people of this city
and in December of the year follow
ing his arrival here, was ( honored by
being elected to the office of city re
corder, which office he has been fill
ing in a commendable manner since
that time.
By a remarkable coincidence, today
is also the anniversary of the birth of
Chief of Police Anthony Austin who
was recently appointed by the city
council to officiate as head of the
local police department to fill the un
expired term of Ellis Daughtry, re
signed. "Tony" as he -is familiarly known
to his many friends in this city has
been a resident of Albany fo'r 27 j-ears,
coming to this citv from Illinois in
1886. He has been engaged in many
occupations since he first came to this
city, including farming, carpentering,
and operating a threshing outfit. He
is today celebrating the 53rd anni
versary of his birth. He was born
at Green view, Illinois, on January 30,
1860, and received his education in
that state. The many friends of both
Judge Van Tassel and Chief of Po
lice Austin wish them many happy
returns o'f the day.
The other two Albany men who are
celebrating their anniversaries today
are Capt. Frank M. Powell and Wal
ter H. Worrell, the former the deputy
postmaster and the latter, the mailing
clerk of the Albany postoitice. Fol
lowing their usual custom, these two
men will hold a joint celebration this
evening at the home of Mr. Worrell
at 423 Jefferson street when a fine
dinner will be served in their honor
by their wives. Several invited guests
will attend the dinner.
Captain Frank M. Powell is cele
brating his 36 th birthday today while
Mr. Worrell has 45 years to his credit.
Captain Powell is a native of Linn
county, having been born and raised
on a farm eight miles east of this city
where his parents still reside. He re
ceived his education in the schools of
Albany and Linn county and has been
a resident of this city for 14 years.
He was the first rural mail carrier
on the first .rural mail route that was
established in this city. He carried
mail for three years at the end of
which time he was appointed deputy
postmaster under S. S. Train and lat
er under Postmaster Van Winkle. He
is captain of the Fifth Company,
Coast Artillery Corps, of this city.
Walter H. Worrell was born on
January 30. 1868, at OIney, Lincoln
county, Missouri. He received his
education in that state and moved
with his parents to Oregon in 1888,
locating at Silverton. Five years later
the family moved to Albany and have
resided here since that time. V. H.
clerked for many years in the dry
goods store of Reed & Peacock which
was then located where Gilbert Bros,
now arc. and also clerked for M.
Sternberg and Company at one time.
He entered the mail service in 1900
a mailing clerk under Postmaster
Train and has served in that capacity
since that time.

RESTAURANT MAN VIOLATES
ORDINANCE; IS ARRESTED
Terrill Must Tear Down Wooden
Shooting Gallery Erected
on Lyon Street.
Because he violated the fire or
dinance which prohibits the erection
of wooden structures within the fire
hmits of the city, T. I. Terrill, pro
prietor and manager of the Oregon
Restaurant on Lyon street, was this
morning arrested by Chief of Police
Austin and brought into the police
court to answer to the complaint
which charged him with violating the
ordinance.
Terrill, several weeks ago, secured
the services of a force of carpenters
and commenced the erection of a
shooting gallery adjoining his restaur
ant on Lyon street and although noti
fied several times by the fire chief
and his assistant that he was violating
the ordinance by constructing the
wooden building, he continued to push
the work until he had the gallery
nearly completed. .His arrest this
morning was the result of his action.
He was arraigned in the recorder's
court this morning where the cv.se
was heard by Judge Van Tassel, who
after consulting with City Attorney
Swan, dropped.' the prosecution upon
the promise of Terrill to tear the
structure down within the-next forty
eight hours. . Terrill -was also in
structed to tear down the "bi'lboard
store" which he constructed last sum
mer contrary to the fire ordinance.
This "billboard-store" consisted of
building an addition to the back side
of the billboard which i-- located be
tween the Oregon Restaurant and the
fiurkhart real estate office. Wmdo.vs
were then cut into the billboard, mak
ing a small storeroom where a pea
nut wagon has since been occupying
Headquarters. ... ,.

gon, where he settled down, marry
ing Josephine Humphries n 1858.

dian wars of 1855 and 1856 and was
in the Cascade massacre, where he re
ceived wounds. With Rev. P. S.
Knight of this city he helped build
the wooden railway connecting the
two rivers.
Kor the past two years the death
of Mr. Elgin has not been entirely un
locked for by members of his family.
Three weeks ago he suffered a para
lytic shock' and since then two others,
the third, last night, resulting fatally.
The funeral will be held at 1U o'clock
