REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS
FOR LASTYEAR INTERESTING
Sum of $14,801.83 Donated to
Benevolence, Current Ex
penses and Building Fund.
Continued from Tuesday, April 8,
Two hundred and twenty-five peo
ple partook of the splendid banquet
last night, at" the First Presbyterian
church. The o'ccassion was the an
nual meeting of members of the con
gregation, during which the summary
eport of the proceedings of the church
during the past year were made.
There were over three hundred
present in all, including those serv
ing the appetizing viands and those
who came to attend the meeting. The
tables were handsomely decorated
and beautifully apportioned with cut j
flowers and banquet dainties. The re
past was bounteously served and the
heartiest of good feeling prevailed
throughout the meeting.
The summary of the year's pro
ceedings was interesting in the ex
treme and showed the remarkable
strides of advancement made by this
church. Members of the church have
ample reasons to be proud of the
year's work by the fact that their
entcrprize has built one of the most
substantial and beautiful church ed--ifices
in the city and this building has
been a source of much pride to many
other public spirited citizens of the
city.
The report showed that fourteen
people had been received in the church
during the jast year. Fourteen of
these came in on their own confes
sion of the Christ and thirty one were
by letter from other churches at other
places of the same denomination. The
net gain was thirty one and three
hundred and fifteen were reported to
the general assembly as members.
The treasurer reported that $718.40
had been donated from .this charge,
to Benevolences, $14,020.33 to current
expenccs and the building fund. This
makes a grand total from all sources
of $14,801.83.
Rev. John H. Boyd, minister of the
First Presbyterian church, Portland,
will deliver his masterly address on
"The Bible and Education," in the
First Presbyterian church on Friday
evening April 18. This address was
originally promised for the dedication
week. The church will be open to the
people of Albany. It is hoped that
large numbers will reserve this date
and plan to be present.
COMMERCIAL CLUB DID NOT
HOLD REGULAR MEETING
Constable John Catlin wus detailed
late Saturday evening to serve an at
tachment on the furniture concern of
R. Rogoway & Sons, corner Ells
worth and Second streets.
The store is now in the hands of
the constable awaiting the disposi
tion of the stock by the proper au
thorities. The value of the large stock
of furniture carried by the concern
could not be learned this afternoon.
The attachment was instituted at
the instance of R. Veal & son, own

ment. It could not be learned wheth
er other liabilities were outstanding.
The store was closed by the con
stable late Saturday night and has re
mained closed under lock and key
since that time.
COUNTY FRUIT INSPECTOR
ISSUED STATEMENT TODAY
Contains Good Advice Relative
to Spraying For Benefit of
Fruit Growers.
County Fruit Inspector D. W. Rum-
baugh has just issued a statement for
the benefit of the fruit growers of the
county and the following is what the
inspector says in part:
"Apple scab is the most serious and
the most generally distributed fungus
disease known, and is particularly
severe in favorable seasons in the
Willamette Valley. The summer
spor stage develops on both fruit and
foliage. As with all fungus, diseases
of this nature, treatment must be pre
ventative rather than curative. In
any case trees should be given at least
three sprayings during the Spring.
The first should be just as the buds
begin to separate in the cluster and
show color; second, immediately af
ter the blossoms fall; third, ten days
or two weeks later.
"If currants, rosebushes or plants
of any kind are infected with aphis
or lice, about the best thing to use
is a tobacco spray."

There were many ceremonies going
on last night and several of the mem

these places and were unable to be

decided by those present that a meet

TO SMALLPOX AT MILL CITY
Was Employee of the Hammond
Lumber-Company; Only Case
of Kind There.

yesterday of smallpox after an ill
ness of a week or two. Where he
contracted the disease is unknown.
He was a young man and had been
working for the Hammond Lumber
Co., going to Mill City from Bandon,
Coos county, where his folks reside.
He was a nephew of T. M. Hum
phreys, the mail clerk on the De
troit run. A Mill City man says this
was the only case of smallpox there.

OF
E
ANNUAL CITY ELECTION WAS
HELD THERE YESTERDAY
Mrs. Gertrude Miller a well known
atron of Brownsville and a highly
esteemed lady with a host of friends
throughout that section of Linn coun
ty, was elected yesterday as city treas
urer of the city o'f Brownsville at the
annual city election.
Mrs. Wilier lias tne honor ot Deing
the first woman to run for office and
become elected in Linn county.
While the result of the election is
not exactly known it is understood
that Mrs. Miller won over her op
ponent by a large majority.
The announcement of Mrs. Miller's
candidacy sometime ago, for this im
portant position of the administra
tion of the city was received as very
commonplace by Brownsville people
and judging from the prevailing senti
ment prior to the election the odds
appeared to be 2 to 1 in favor of the
woman candidate.
The election provoked a Rood deal
of interest. Two tickets were in the
field, law and order and progressive
law and order. The former hvon
and the officers elected are C. E.
Stanard mayor, J. Vfr Craig recorder.
K. A. banders marshal, Mrs. Miller
treasurer, . E. White councilman of
the first ward, J. H. Rebhan and G.
W. McKinney councilmen in the sec
ond ward and W. B. Robe in the third
ward. The most interesting fight was
the election in the first ward for coun
cilman, between E. E. White and F.
M. Brown, editor of the Times, the
present mayor. On account of cer
tain policies ot the mayor a strong
fight was put uo against him for coun
cilman, causing his defeat.

MUSICIANS TAKE HAND IN
EFFORT TO STOP RAGGING
Because of the failure of reoeated
attempts on the part of floor managers
ui ine regular wcemy uaiiccs given
in this city, to put a stop to ragging
local orchestra musicians have insti
tuted a drastic measure by which they
intend to take an effective hand in
the matter.
It has time and again appeared im
possible for dance managers to place
the ban on ragging without causing
a disturbance by ejecting the offend
ers from the hall and this has been
willfully done but it is considered a
nuisance.
Contending that it is very unneces
sary to continue with this state of af
fairs at the expense ot those who are
willing to adhere to the rules of the
dance halls the following petition was
gotten up and signed by the musicians:
We, the undersigned here by( irom
this date hold the privilege to' stop
playing at any time during any dance
given in Albany, Oregon, when to
our belief the dance is not being con
ducted in a proper manner. Full con
tract price of engagement to be paid.
