... ' P. D. GILBERT, !
Mayor. S
rursuant 'to the above proclamation
issued bv Mavor Gilbert yesterday,
telephone calls have been pouring in
to the Commercial Club today from
all parts of the city, from persons of
fering donations of every description.
Monev, clothes and food of every
kind lias been offered and today two
big cars are being loaded with Al
bany's contribution to the greatest
and most appalling disaster in years.
. It is evident that local people
kcenlv feel the urgency of- tile dire
distress prevailing in the flooded 'and
tornado-stricken districts of the Mid
dle West, attested by their prompt
response to the calls for -assistance.
Many people residing in the city have
formerly lived in the devastated dis
tricts and fully realize . the signifi
cance of the disaster. Much concern
is felt locally for relatives and friends
residing in the East.
Manager C. H. Stewart of the Al
bany Commercial Club, at the in
stance of appeals from other com
mercial bodies of the state, started a
commendable movement yesterday
when he suggested that a carload of
potatoes be sent from this city to the
sufferers of the Middle West. At
present there is an over-supply of the
local potato market ami this sugges
tion met with a simultaneous approv
al. Accordingly the railroad com
panies were negotiated with for- the
necessary transportation facilities,
and responded readily. Two big box
cars were furnished and will be .start
ed on the way to the East tonight.
Free transportation has been granted
these shipments.
Today a large committee of local
business men canvassed the city for
subscriptions to cover t he expenses
incurred in the loading of the cars
and tremendous results attended their
efforts. Practically everybody re
sponded to their solicitations and
sums from 25 cents to $10 were sub
scribed. The money left over after
the expenses are defrayed will also
be sent to the flood victims. The
" amount thus far subscribed could not
be ascertained at present.
Five hundred sacks of potatoes
were loaded on each car together
with many other donations. One of
the cars is spotted near the Albany
Commission Co. and the other is on
a siding a' the Oregon Electric
freight depot. Workmen have been
busy all day loading these cars with
every manner of sustaining necessi
ties which have been coming in from
people in every part of the city.
Local spirit in connection with this
calamity is high. Everything con
stituting the shipment has been do
nated. Local merchants have wil
lingly subscribed to the funds and
donated goo'ds. Flour, canned goods,
sugar and many kinds of vegetables
have been received from the spirited
merchants. One farmer donated sev
eral sacks of beans. Hub Bryant, one
of the best known capitalists and phil
anthropists of this city, who is a re
tired farmer, gave 500 bushels of po
tatoes, provided leaders in the move
ment would sec that they were sack
ed. Accordingly Mayor Gilbert dis
patched the entire street-cleaning de
partment to Mr. Bryant's place in the
east end where they are 'busily en
gaged in sacking the splendid pota
toes, to constitute part of the ship
ment of the big, refrigerator car do
nated by the Southern Pacific rail
road. Many farmers have donated
to the cause and as a result many
apples will be included in the ship
ment. The cars will be shipped tonight
and will be rushed to their destina
tions as rapidly as possible. Tt is 'es
timated that the trip will be made
within a week. They will be shipped
in the names of the governors of
Ohio and Nebraska and their pros
pective destination will be places
where sustaining necessities are most
imperative. By the use of the wire
the cars will be kept track of by state
officials and upon their arrival will
be directed to places of most need
and from there the goo'ds will be dis
tributed. Remarkable success has attended
the efforts of the committees of the
Commercial Cbib in arranging this
city's donation to the flood victims
and it has been a source of much ela
tion to note the sympathetic and wil
ling, spirit which has dominated at
titudes of those who have given.

There are two more contests to be

these debates the championship o'f
the league would belong to this col

when the next contest will be held.
If Albany College wins the cham
pionship this year this will make two
consecutive years that this college has
won.

Kugene.
Dr. Ketehum, of Salem, this morn
ing went out to Shelburn, and there
through a heavy rain five miles to Mt.
