Albany of Tomorrow
When President Straliorn of
the Portland, Eugene & Eastern
Railway stated that there will be
over 1000 miles of electric road
operated hi the Willamette Val
ley, and that this section of the
state will be a veritable network
of electric lines, it is assumed that
he had sufficient evidence at hand
to warrant him in making the
statement.
Albany is the recognized com
mercial center and railroad hub
of the Willamette Valley. If no
further railroad extensions are
made it is certain to become a
city of fifteen thousand popula
tion within the next ten years,
but with construction of new
roads contemplated, a city of
twenty five thousand people is
not an improbability.
The prediction of President
Straliorn is worthy of careful
consideration of every resident of
Albany who harbors any linger
ing doubt as to the future of the
Hub City.
A Tariff Ultimatum.
"What the people put on their
backs and into their stomachs
must be made cheap, no matter
.who suffers."
The above declaration was
yeslerday made by President
Wilson to the leaders of the
United Slates Senate. It was an
ultimatum direct from the peo
ple, conveyed to the Senate lead
ers through their p'irst Citizen.
President Wilsim has a happy
faculty of summing up a situation
in a few words, lie strikes from
the shoulder and lakes a short
cut to reach a given point. Me
was elected on a platform demand
ing a downward revision of the
tariff schedules anil proposes to
see that the pledges eon Pained'
in the platform of his party are
faithfully and honestly kept.
The new President has com
pleted the fifth week of his term,
lie has made no blunders or mis
takes. Conservative, but firm in
his demands for genuine progres
sive legislation, lie has already
proven his honesty and ability.
1 le is his own boss and has shown
no signs of turning :m attentive
ear to those who place private
gain above the public interest.
The IViuoirat congratulates
the people upon the choice ol)
their new President and predicts
that his administration will go
down in history as one of the best
and most prosperous in the his
tory of the republic.
Driving to the city alone front his
home in the count! y. S. V. Edwards,
aged 8? yeais. met with a very livily
experience this morning. Beyniid the
lewish cemetery hi team became
frightened at an automobile going
cast, and ran away. Mr. Edwards
was thrown out. dt.lgged for sonic
distance, and his clothes were nearly
torn off. He was considerably
bruised and cut up, but not seriously.
The team was stopped near the citv
limns by a firmer. Mr. Edward's
was brought to (he city and taken to
the rooming house at First and
Washington streets, where lie is being
cared for by his son. It was neces
sary lii secure new clothes for the

OTTO LESCH IS
NOW A FREE IN
Was Released from City Jail
Yesterday Afternoon After
Cleaning City Offices.
PROMISES POLICE JUDGE HE
WOULD LEAVE LIQUOR ALONE
Served 9 Days in City Bastile
on Bread and Water on
Charge of Drunkenness.
Otto Lcscb, who has been dubbed
the man who would rather go to jail
than work, was released from custody
late yesterday afternoon after spend
ing nine days in the city jail on bread
and water.
Lcsch is probably one of the most
unusual characters that has come
before the police court for many
months. He first came before the pub
lic eye when he was arested sometime
ago on a charge of drunkness, and
when tried and convicted before Po
lice Judge Van Tassel and sentenced
to five days' work on the streets or
a fine of $10 and costs, Lcsch posi
tively refused to work or pay the fine
whereupon he was sent to jail for five
days on a bread and water diet. How
ever, he served one day on a bread
and water diet when a good friend
time to his assistance and paid the
fine. Lcsch then secured his release
from jail.
It was just two weeks ago Sunday
that Lesch was again arrested on a
similar charge. He was placed in the
jail late Sunday afternoon and shortly
after his confinement the jail was dis
covered on fire. It is believed that
the man, resenting the fact that he
had been arrested, deliberately set
fire to the bastile. Hut for the timely
arrival of Policeman Marshal who
heard the screams of the prisoner,
through the prison bars. Lcsch would
have probably been sufficated. When
the policeman reached the jail Lesch
was in a semi-conscious condition
and had to be dragged from his cell.
Ihe following Monday morning the
prisoner was taken before the uolice
court on the charge for which he was
arrested. This being the captive's
second offence, Police Judge Van Tas
sel imposed a sentence of ten days
in the city jail or $20 and costs.
Lesch was also given the alternat
ive of working on the streets,, which
he again refused to do, stating that
he would rather go to jail on bread
and water than work with th? street
force. Accordingly he was remande I
back fo jail where he has since lodged
on bread and water.
However, not wishing to be too se-1
vcrc with the man. ludtre Van
Tassel commuted the sentence to the
extent that Lesch was tai-ten on sever
al ocassions to the Oregon restaurant
by an officer and given a square meal.
When he was released vesterdav
afternoon Lesch looked as though he
nas survived the ordeal remarkably
and all during his confinement ap
peared to be perfectly satisfied. He
spent most of his time in reading the
daily papers and magazines which
were given him by the police.
However, hetore releasing the pris
oner yesterday, judge Van '! assel
told hmi to clean the city offices
which he did. Lesch started in early
yesterday morning and industriously
labored throughout the entire day,
washing the windows of the council
chamber and the police court room.
He also mopped the floors and
cleaned other portions of the office
generally. Today the rooms present
a remarkable transformation, appear
ing very clean and orderly.
Lesch had previously told the af
fable judge that he was going to re
main on his good behavior, that he
may be released before Wednesday,
as this date was his .Wth birthday
and that he did not wish to spend it
in jail. The prisoner promised before
be was released that lie would let
liquor alone and would conduct him
self in an orderly condition hereafter.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
ARE OH INSPECTION TOUR
Left Early This Morning on a
Special Train Accompanied
by Railroad Officials.
After conducting an inquiry as to
l!ic condition of the Corvalli-5 & Last
ern railroad in the county court room
here yesterday afternoon, the Oregon
State Railroad commission, composed
of Chairman Miller and Commission
ers Campbell and Aitchison, left early
this morning on a special train for
a tour of inspection of the eastern
division of that road. The commis
sioners were accompanied by several
local people, including President J.
K. Weathcrford and other railroad
officials and Manager C. H. Stewart
of the commercial club.
The special train has orders to make
stops at all way points and to pro
ceed along' the route at a modcrat
rare of speed, in order that members
of the investigating party may have a
chance to fully inspect every detail
along the road. The railroad officials
went along to argue their version of
auv disputed question. The train
will arrive at Hoover late in the after
noon and the return trip will be made
during the evening.
Nothing could be learned with re
gard to the outcome of the inquiry
nipde here yesterday afternoon but
it was intimated that a full report
of the proceedings will be rendered
p the report of the commission after
completing its investigation.
LOCAL BUSINESS MEN
. FAVOR NEW CHARTER
Sentiment Among the Voters
Appears to Be Favorable
to Its Passage.
Will the city of Albany miss step
with the march of progress, or place
the seal of approval on the new city
charter? This is the question which
is now being asked by those who are
looking to the Hub City with the idea
of making investments.
According to the judgment of the
great majority of the best and most
conservative business men, it would
he a mistake to take a step backward
at this time. The city must go for
ward and necessary improvements
must be made, if Albany is to retain
the reputation already established, as
one of the most enterprising towns
in Western Oregon. -
The Democrat representaitve has
talked to a considerable number o'f
local business men in regard to the
new charter and finds that the senti
inent among the business interests
is strongly in favor of its passage.
MERCHANTS POSTPONED
THEIR REGULAR MEETING
The meeting of the Albany Retail
Merchants association, as auounced
yesterday afternoon to take place
Wednesday evening, has been post
poned out of courtesy to the ladies
of St. Peters Episcopal perish, under
whose auspices the local talent show

The date for the holding of this
