FIREBUGS STAR!
ANOTHER BLAZE
Third Fire in Three Weeks of
Incendiary Origin Happened
Last Night.
LOCAL POLICE AUTHORITIES
TO CONDUCT INVESTIGATION
Damage Is Slight to Building
on Corner of First and
Baker Streets.
According to local fire department
authorities there are undoubtedly sev
eral of the most notorious fire bugs
operating in this city, that could be
found in the roughest community.
B.ldncss in the extreme was the
alleged attempt to burn the building
on the corner of First and Baker
streets occupied by a general second
hand store, last night at 10:45 o'clock.
The supposed incendiaries broke in a
window sash on the southeast cor
ner of the building and emptying the
contents of a gallon can of coai oil,
touched a match and beat a hasty
retreat. The blaze was discovered by
Tuck Anderson, of the Wigwam sta
bles, on Second street, while he was
putting up some horses. He rushed
through the stable to the Baker street
entrance after turning in an alarm by
phone, and reached the scene ot the
conflagration just in time to see two
men disappear around the corner of
First street. From the light created
by the firef he secured a minute de
scription o'f the men. One is de
scribed as being rather short, with a
beard, and the other was of a tall
build. From their actions it is be
lieved that they were the incendiaries.
ihc firemen responded quickly to
the alarm and the blaze was extin
guished before much damage was
done. The extent of the damage was
a badly scorched floor and east wall.
It is understood that the building is
covered with insurance.
This is the third fire that has oc
curred in that neighborhood during
the past three weeks which are sup
posed to have started from incendiary
origin. About three' weeks ago an at
tempt was made to burn a notorious
house on Montgomery street and
later fo'llowed an effort of the alleged
firebug to destroy by fire the Blue
Front exchange, the clothing estab
lishment on East First street of R.
Goldblatt.
The present fire bug epidemic is
conceded to be a lamentable hazard
to public property and is a disgrace
to a respectable community. It is un
derstood that an investigation of
.these matters will be held by local
ponce authorities, with an etfort to
put a stop to the reign of the in
cendiaries. HOLLOWAY-PEARCE NUPTIALS

It Is Expected That Association
Will Definitely Decide About
The Cannery.
SESSON CONVENED THIS
AFTERNOON IN CLUB ROOMS
Large Number Were Present;
Matters of General Interest
to Be Taken Up.
For the express purpose of defi
nitely deciding to locate a cannery in
this city, the Albany Fruitgrowers'
association convened a session this
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Com
mercial Club rooms with a large num
ber of its members present. The
meeting was called to order by Pres
ident J. C. Holbroo"k and other mat
ters of general interest will be dis
cussed. It is expected that the matter of
the establishment ot a truit dryer at
this city will be taken Up along with
other matters proposed by leading
members of the association at a pre
vious meeting. It is understood that
the report of several committees will
be received with reference to their in
vestigation of propositions submitted
to them at the last meeting of the or
ganization. The matter of the establishment of
a cannery in this city has been under
advisement for some time and it is
'believed that there is no doubt but
that such a plant will be established
here. It has been pointed out that a
cannery would be a valuable asset to
this community, enabling the farmers
to dispose of the products they are
now unable to dispose of, rather than
have them spoil and become useless.
In recent years the market demand
has been considerably less than the
output and it is to culminate this state
of affairs that an effort has been
made to locate a cannery here. It
has been contended that no trouble
would be encountered in the sale of
stock for such an establishment as
the farmers throughout this section
are in favor of the pro'position.
The establishment of a vinegar fac
tory and an adequate dryer are among
other propositions under considera
tion by the fruitgrowers' association
and it is intimated that the committee
in charge of the investigation of these
matters will report favorably at the
meeting this afternoon.
It is expected that the meeting will
last all afternoon and nothing defi
nite would be given out by the offi
cials prior to the session but it is
hinted that substantial developments
will result from the meeting, which
convened just at press time.
CITY CLEANS ALLEYS BUT
WORK CHARGED TO OWNERS
Street Superintendent Glen M,
Junkins Is Busy with Crew
of Workmen and Team.
After repeatedly notifying mer
chants and property' owners in the
main business district .to clean up the
alleys in the rear of their cstablish
M. Junkin came to the conclusion late
yesterday afternoon that the only
way to get the alleys cleaned and
placed in an orderly condition, wad
for the city to enlist a crew of work
men to tlo the job, -and charge ihe
labor to the heedless merchants.
Accordingly 'the efficient street su
perintendent has three extra men audi
two extra teams on the streets this
morning, busily engaged in cleaning
up any trash or debris, that is liable
to breed disease, or which should
have been removed long ago.
This is the time of year when, the
general cleanup season is in vogue
and it is pointed out that everyobdy
ought to be ipo're or less busy clean
ing up any disorderly condition ab-jiit
their property. As it has been stated
before in the Democrat that it is the
desire of the administration of the
city that Albany be made the clean
est city in the valley, and it is to tltis
end that orderliness and cleanliness
will be demanded.
