The Consensus of Opinion Last
Night Was That It Needed
Financial Rejuvenation.
ORGANIZATION IS NOT
PROPERLY SUPPORTED
April 12 Date Set for the B
Clam Feast and Heart to
Heart Talk.
Continued from Wednesday, April 9.
That the Albany Commercial club
needs a financial rejuvenation, was the
unanimous opinion of the eleven mem
bers present at the regular weekly
meeting last night. It was also' the
general opinion that the splendid
work done by the dub during the five
years of its existence entitles it to
a better support from the people of
Albany. Just now the support is
down to the limit, and has gradually
been dropping off for some reason or
other, until the list of subscribers is
below a hundred, where it ought to
be three or four hundred in a city like
Albany. It was decided that a big
clam feast will be held in the rooms
on Monday evening. April 21 , for
ihe purpose of reorganizing the club
for the coining year.
A communication was read from
Mark Woodruff, publicity man for the
Portland. Kugene & Knstern in refer
ence to lists of bargains in real estate
for the Panama exposition and other
maters, sonic thing that will be of
importance later.
A strong resolution was passed fa
voring the extension of the line from
Albany to Wellsdale, when built fur
ther west to Airlie, through a rich
and prosperous section of the state
among fanners who will appreciate
the advent of the road into that coun
try. The matter of outside advertising
by twelve of Albany's merchants was
discussed. Under tt a half page ad
vertisement will be run in all the
county papers for a few weeks.
Splendid results from the first were
reported. Under the arrangements
farVs of customers arc paid to Al
bany if their total purchases in the
stores of the merchants amount to
$20 or more.
Good roads were again discussed.
Dr. Kllis declared that the subject
is of such importance that we should
keep it before the people until some
thing is done. Mr. French suggested
that now the great need for the ex-'
penditure of money for roads is into
the market centers, and he doubted
if S15.CXX) of $JO,OM should be put into
the Shea road until wc make a better
start on the roads into Albany and the
. other county business centers.
The club favored meeting with the
Lebanon Commercial clum in a gen
eral good roads meeting at that city
at a future date, and make it an event
of far reaching importance.
Lawyer C. K. Sox was requested to
prepare a synopsis of the good roads
laws, particularly on the subject of
bonds.
The club closed with the discussion
of the future of the club and its great
importance to the city, a vital force
in its progress, deserving the uni
versal support of our people.
Those present were President VAN
WINKLE, Vice President Nutting,
Mannger C. H. Stewart, Directors
I l:i miner, French, Sanders, McCune,
Kllis, Schniitt, Sox and Marker.

SURVEYORS WORKING
WEST OF LEBANON
Road to Foster and the Timber
District to Be Built in
Near Future.
The railroad surveyors who have
been working out of Lebanon for the
past ten days surveying up the river
toward Sweet Home, have surveyed
ui the river about ten miles to about
the old Santiam store. Today they
made a change and began running a
line westward from Lebanon, and it
looks like they arc headed for Gray,
the po'int where the Oregon Electric
branches off to Corvallis. This looks
like the Oregon Electric is to extend
a branch to Lebanon, which will be
a great thing for Lebanon and vicin
ity. Reed & Chencry, civil engineers
of Portland, have charge of the sur
veying and have from 12 to 14 men
in the party. Mr. Chenery is on the
ground all the time and is personally
superintending the work. He is a
very polite and courteous gentleman.
We understand they are working for
the Porter Brothers and will run a
line from Lebanon to Foster and also
a line out o'f Lebanon going north
and one out going west. Mr. Chen
ery is a native of Virginia and he and
Attorney Garland are graduates from
the same college. Just who the Port
er Brothers intend building the road
for is still a matter of conjecture.
Some still think it is the So'uthcrn
I'acific back of it, but the genei-al
opinion now is that it is the Oregon
Electric people and that the road will
run from Lebanon into the lumber
district and will connect with the Ore
gon Electric at Gray or somewhere
north of here in the vicinity of Jef
ferson. The railroad people generally
keep their secrets as long as they can
and do not give out any information
until they have to. Lebanon Express.

NEW BRICK TO BE ERECTED
AT SECOND AND LYON ST.
Two Other New Structures for
This Street; Many Other
Improvements.
With the c"oming of spring build
ing activities in this city have assumed
hustling proportions.
Contractor R. D. Snell has secured
the contract for the erection of a one
story brick building on the vacant lot
o'n Lyon street between the fire en
ine house and the building on the cor
tier of Second street.
The building will be erected for
Mrs. Maggie Uhl at a cost of approx
imately $3000 and the excavation work
will be started sometime within tiie
next two days or as soon as the weath
er conditions permit.
The material to be used, in its con
struction will' be of grey pressed
brick. The building will be erected
one story high at present but pro
vision will be made for the addition
of another story. Its dimensions will
be 26 x 60, and will include one store
room with the same dimensions. A
b'g plate glass window will be in
stalled in the front, and the store
room will have all the modern con

and Fourth streets, which is being
erected by J, C. Galbraith as an of
fice for the Tebault Real Estate Co.
Another building which is now con
templated on the same lot, north of
the above mentioned building, will
probably become an early realization.
The building is to be of red pressed
brick construction with dimensions
of 30.x 40 feet. If the present plans
mature the building will be construct
ed by Mr. Galbraith, as a milk depot
for one of the leading dairies.
