Council Will Meet Again Mon

sider Matter.
Continued from Friday, April 11.
The subject of the new building or
dinance held the city council in
session last night. The meet
ing was an adjourned meeting trom
thj regular. Wednesday night session
and its primary purpose was to take
up this new ordinance.
There are fifty-six pages to the doc
ument, pertaining to every phase cf
the fire limits and the construction of
buildings and to provide for protec
tion .against fires and to repeal all or
dinances in conflict with the pro'
visions of this ordinance.
The ordinance was read last night
for the first time and on motion
was read the second time by title
committee on ordinances, and it is
probable that this committee will re
port upon it at the next meeting of
the council which will be held Mon
day evening at 7 o'clock. This will
also be an adjourned meeting as the
session adjourned last night to meet
then.
In view of the lengthy articles of
the ordinance it would be impossible
to prepare anything intelligently for
publication in reference to' the or
dinance at this time, as it would take
considerable time and careful study
to prepare an article on the main
subject of the bill. It is because of
this fact that nothing will appear to
day with reference to it, but, however,
something will be forthcoming soon.
Two petitions asking for the im
provement of Eighth street were
adopted. One of the petitions was
signed by property owners abutting
the street and in the immediate vicin
ity and the other by residents of the
neighborhood.- The improvements
asked was for the opening and grading
of Eighth street from Main street
easterly to the city limits. Sam Conn
and A. W. Docksteader and others
were signers of one petition and
Emma Wilcox, Emil Sehaffitz and
o'thers signers of the other.
The council granted the applica
tion of John F. Spooner for the po
sition of driver for the new fire truck.
The application was read before the
council Wednesday evening and was
deferred for further consideration.
Mr. Spooner will be compensated for
his services in the sum of $05 per
month and will make his headquarters
at the fire engine house on Lyon
street.

the United Presbyterian church's mis

JOHN D. HITS SCHEME
TO SAVE $12 A DAY
Manufacturers Own Ice When
Price Leaps From 40 to 70
Cents Per Hundred.
Tarrytown, N. Y April 11. The
prospective ice famine will not affect
John D. Rockefeller this summer.
With the price nearly doubled, he' has
installed his own plant, which will
make about a ton a day, enough to
supply all his wants.
Mr. Rockefeller has lived at Po
enntico Hills for fifteen years, but
he has always bought his ice.
"Don't it beat all," said a neigh
bor up at the hills today, "how Mr.
Rockefeller just naturally hits it right
every time, whether it is the stock or
the ice market? How do you suppose
he ever knew we were to have a mild
winter?"
The price of ice was formerly 40
cents a hundred. This year it has
jumped to 70 cents. Mr. Rockefeller
can manufacture a ton at a cost of
$2, netting a clear saving of $12 a
day.
Air. Rockefeller's saving of $12 a
day on ice will come in handy when
the Democrats come around for their
income tax.
News Beginning With This Head Is
From Daily Issue of
SATURDAY. APRIL 12
If Producers Pledge Better
Support the Association
Will Continue.
There appears to be some misun
derstanding among members of the
Albany Fruit Growers association
relative to the disbandment of the or
ganization. I hree weeks ago me
board of directors met for the purpose
of considering the feasibility of con
tinuing the association, in view oi tne
fact that very little support was forth
coming from the local producers and
at which time it was decided that
members of the local association
should co-operate individually with
the members of the Benton county
association, for the purpose of dis-
psmg of the left over crop to the
Corvallis cannery.
In a statement issued to the press
by President Homer Moore, after this
meeting, it was interred that the asso
ciation had been disbanded and the
matter was reported accordingly. But
later this was found not to be true,
as the association is a corporation
and under the laws governing such,
the board of directors have not the
authority to dissolve a corporation
without the sanction of a majority
of the stockholders.
The report was resented by mem
bers of the board. One of the direct
ors stated that the intention of the
meeting was purely for the purpose
of discussing the matter of continu
ing: the organization and that the de
cision of the directors in regard to
this matter that a notice to the stock
holders to attend a meetinc at which
time this subject would be definitely
decided.
Pursuant to this action on the part
of the directors, a meeting of the
stockholders of the association has
been called by President Moore for
Saturday afternoon April 3, at the
commercial club. The purpose of this
meeting is to discuss the matter of
disbandment and to ascertain the at
titude of the members with regard
to the association. Other matters
that may properly come before the
meeting will be taken up. It is the
desire that everybody interested in
this enterprise at tend this meeting
and those who wish to see the or
ganization continue, are urged to at
tend and give their support.
President Moore stated yesterday
afternoon that it depends sobjv on the
wish of the stockholders whether the
association is disbanded or not and
that its fate rests entirely with the
members and those who have here
tofore neglected to give their sup
port. "It is imperative that the member
ship of this association be increased."
stated Mr. Moore yesterday afternoon,
"and if the farmers and fruit growers
of this section come forward and join
the movement and pledge their sup
port there is no question but that the
organization will continue the same."

Salem, Ore., April 12. Investiga
tion of the condition of the tracks,
road bed and equipment of the Cor
vallis & Eastern railroad, recently
decided upon by the state railroad
commission, will begin in earnest next
Monday, April 14, when Chairman
Miller and Commissioners Campbell
and Aitchison will start from Albany
tor a trip over the line to Detroit.
-No speed records will be broken,
it is certain, for the commissioners
will give "slow" signals to the en
gineer of their "special" from the
start. The train upon which they
will travel will consist of a locomo
tive and one car, and it is expected
frequent stops will be made, so' that
thorough inspection may be made of
anything that looks doubtful and de
linquent. The investigation will be made on
the commission's own motion, as the
official term goes, meaning that il
was taken up by the commissioners
themselves. But it is to be a formal
inquiry, and the shorthand man will
be along to take testimony along the
route. Probablv some of the officials
of the railroad will go along, ready to
give their side ot any disputed point.
Returning to Albany Monday eve
ning, the commissioners will move
westward the following day, and two
days will be consumed going over the
line from Albany to the sea. Yaquiua,
the western terminus, will be reached
Tuesday evening.
Because of complaints rel
ative to the service and the alleged
dangerous condition of the roadbed
of the Corvallis & Eastern railroad
md in view of the fact that
accidents have recently happened on
this mad, the entire state railroad
commission, will hold a session at
the Linn county court house M'nndav
morning, to take testimony with ref
erence to these matters and to re
ceive the complain Is of any people
who may come to testify. Everyone
is in vitrei to go before the commis
sion and place any grievance which
thev may desire to tell about.
The commission will leave this city
Tuesday morning in a snoeial train
for a trip over the entire Eastern !
division of the road. Slops will be j
made at all stations, to takt testimony ',
and receive complaints. The trip will
be made to I loover and return by j
night. j
The commission will start out on ;
a similar expedition Wednesday '
morning, stopping at all way points;
and reaching Newport kite in the eve-
nine". The steamer "Richardson" ply
ing bet wren Newport and Yaquiua, j
in connection with the railroad com- l
panv. will also be included in Ihe in- I
vestigation.

Manager Al Senders announced late
this afternoon that owing to the pre
vailing weather conditions for the last
two days, it would be impossible to
hold the game of baseball as sched
uled for tomorrow afternoon.
It was planned that the local team
should play with Manager Billy Hu
len's Canadians but it is impossible
to play a game with the field in its
present condition. However, as soon
as the field dries up sufficiently to
enable the players to get over the
grounds without wading in mud up
to their ank'es, Manager Senders has
promised the local fans a game.
Manager Hulen's bunch were out at
the field yesterday morning for the
initial warm-up but owing to the
muddy condition of the ground but
little practice was done. It is planned
that as soon as the weather abates.
Manager Hulen will conducte his men
through regular daily practices.

DISCHARGED HER
OWN HUSBAND
Delayed Payment of Bill Reacts on Wo
man's Finance.
The story is told in the April num
ber of "Good Dressing," the new fa
shion magazine, of a woman who un
wittingly discharged her own hus
band! Because she delayed payment
on the bill she owed lo a department
store, the department shore was un
able to make payment to the niaiui
. fac Hirer, and the manufacturer had
to dispense with some of his employ
ees among whom was the woman's
husband. This is the story told in an
editorial in "Good Dressing," in
which the importance of prompt pay
ment of bills is shown.
"Good Dressing" is the new 32-page
' fashion magazine issued each muulh
lo patrons and the women of Albany
by Hamilton, and the second issue
April number will be ready for dis
tribution now.
This number contains an article in
which Harrison Fisher, the widely
know artist, chooses three gowns for
Spring wear. The gowns, are illustrat
ed at ful length, and Mr. Fisher gives
his the artist's ami the man's idea
of the mistakes that women make in
choosing designs and materials for
their clothes.
Another feature, in disc using the
motives thai prompt the diilcreut
types of garments iliat are shown by
the designers, says:
"This will be a .ic.'imiu of brilliant
effects, the Bulgarian and the Oriental
colorings predominating, thter arc al
so wonderful iil'ects in Pompadour
and Joiiy designs. The fancy for
things Chinese in cut and material has
invaded not only the realm of the
elaborate tea and evening gown, but
. finds expresion in fancy tittle creton
ne n or chintz printed coals lo be
worn with lingerie or liiinen dresses.
They arc an odd and (plaint accessory
to the Sumemr wardrobe, and with a
hat ami parasol of the same material
design, the ensemble of a pretty Sum
mer girl is most fad na ling. These
coatees are simple to make, requiring
no trimming other than harnilcss but
tons or buckles. The UMial lining is
also omitted, the seams neatly bound
with satin binding. All textures from
the sheerest to the heaviest have been
touched with the magic of the color
wand."
To young women and girls, Nancy
Norton, a young Miss attending
boarding school in New York writes
a letter that is full of interest because
it tells what the New York girls do
and what they wear.
"Good Dressing" is beatuifutly il
lustrated. Fdited by the Fditors of
The Ladies' Home Journal, its fa
shion news is authentic, and its every
page one of pleasurable interest to
the reader.
The new materials are discussd
millinery helps are shown, and per
haps the feature that will appeal
strongly to the women of Albany is
the offer of Hamilton to give through
"Good Dressing" any advice that
may be asked that in any way pertains
to fashions. "Good Dressing" will
answer any question son:
The Ktiquctte of Clothes,
Home- Dressmaking,
Millinery,
Children's Clothes,
Needlework,
or fashion topics generally.
