Some have claimed that sanita tion lias been very expensive : that when the work shall have heen finished, sanitation will have tost 5 per rent of the total ex pense. This comes, says Col. Win. Gorans, the chief Sanitary Officer of the Istlmian Canal Conimissio'ii, from confusing the expense of the sanitary depart ment with those of sanitation. The sanitary department spends a ood deal of money that has no lelation whatever to sanitation; for instance, more than half the revenues of the sanitary depart ment are spc.it on hospitals, dis pensaries, etc., things that have no relation w hatever to sanitation. It is just as misleading to call such things on the Isthmus "san itation" as it would he to charge to the health department of our !at;e cities the expenses of all Hospitals ami dispensaries and the incomes id' the physicians .Tad muse's. As a matter of fact, the sanitation of the Isthmus has cost ahotit $HX.lXK per annum. This is a luile more than one cent per il.iy per capita lor the total pop ulation, and when we ate through we shall have spent on sanitati'mi iilmnt $4,lXX),CXXt instead of $.'(!. (O).(KX). as has l.een stated, or 1.03 per cent of the total cost of the canal instead of five per cent. The matter lias a far wider ap plication than to our local affairs on the Isthmus. If our work is going to ho of assistance to other tiopical countries, we must show lh.it the expeusrs uf sanitation are w ithin tho limits of (heir financial ahilit v. 1 1 the South American government are told that it has cost the American government 520,000,000 for the sanitation of j this small territory of 500 square i miles on the Isthmus for ten years they would all see at once that a similar work for themselves would be entirely beyond their financial ability. I!ut if they are informed that it has cost the Americans a little more than a cent a day pe rcapita for the work, they will know that they are financially able to do the same. I his can certainly be done by all these countries, as far as their iarger and infected cities are con cerned. BUSINESS CONDITIONS NOT EFFECTED BY TARIFF The following is reprinted from the last issue of Dun's Review and indi cates the business interests are not particularly worried over the tariff agitation: "General trade is quiet for the time being, many railroads and industrial centers not having as yet fully recov ered from the ettects of the western floods; Satisfactory progress, how ever, is reported at many points. The readjustment of the tariff, now in pro gress, produces more or less hesita tion in some trades, but in spite of these two unfavorable factors, there is no indication of n nermanent set back in business, and fundamental con ditions appear as sound as before. An encouraging development of the week was the very favorable renort on the condtion of winter wheat, which is far above the average. Bank clear ings this week were 5.0 per cent, under those of last vear. but 3.7 ner cent above 1911. The prevailing dullness in tne speculative markets no doubt accounts in part for the decrease. Railroad gross earnings in March were 5.5 per cent, better than last year, and the gain would have been larger, but for the interruption to traffic caused by the floods. The idle car surplus has increased 20.000 in two weeks. Pig iron output during March showed a falling off from February, while the Steel Corporation's unfilled orders at th end of March were 187.758 tons less than at the close of Fehruarv. The conper situation has improved materially and a further advance in prices is expected. Better weather favors building operations. The drv goods markets arc experiencing a steady, though quiet, trade. The shoe industry rctlects progressive move ment, with an excellent outlook for the coming season. Lumber shows steady improvement. Foreign com merce maintains its imposing dimen sions, statistics for the latest week at New York showing a total trade in and out of ?.1K.1K0.41.1 against $36 227 770 last year and $34,488,872 in 101 1. Exports increased $3,546,212 over 1012, while ininorts decreased $1,548,569 " "Liabilities of commercial failures reported for April to date amount to $5,133,825. of which $1,640,790 were In manufacturing, $3,215,125 in trading and $277,010 in other commercial lines. Failures this week numbered 279 in the United Slates against 207 last year, and 28 in Canada compared with 22 a year ago."

ON EXHIBITION IN WINDOW OF DAWSONS DRUG STORE Our Forefathers Could Play Ball As Well As We of Today. Harry Wilkins, the well known clerk and photographer of Dawson's drug store, has succeeded in securing a very interesting collection of old time pictures of ' leading baseball teams of this city of the early days. The pictures are owned by differ ent people of the city who have kindly loaned them to' Mr. Wilkins. who is ever alert to things of the hour, as attested by the window exhibits that have appeared from time to time at this popular drug store. Hence Mr. Wilkins has arranged an interesting exhibit of these baseball pictures in one of the windows of the store which has attracted much attention. Among the pho'tographs are two championship teams representing this city. One team captured the state championship in 1878. The line-up of this team is as follows: George Sill lb.. Ed Clarke, c., .Tim Fosterss., Dick Conn. If.. Phil Baltimore, c. Cash Hawkins, 2b., H. M. Crane, mgr., Rev. Stevens, cf., Mack Monteith, 3b., Frank McCully, p. Another picture is of the old Al bany Colts who toolc the Northwest championship of Oregon, California and Nevada. 17 years ago. The per sonel of this aggregation is as fol lows: F.lton Connaway. 3b., Rialto Weathcrford. lb., Flemmings, p., Har ry Crawford, cf., Frank Layton, ss., Billy Mack, mgr.. Will Mullcr, c, Harry Clisick. sub.. Lair Thompson, If.. Fred Wcatherford, rf.. Ed McFar land, 2b., Arch Coins, sub. A game that was of considerable interest and one that will probably be recalled by many of the oldtimers of this city, was a contest played at Lyons, between an aggregation of that city and an Albany team, June 4. 1892, which resulted in a score of 19 to9 in favor of Albany. Mcmbei's of the Al bany team are as follows: C. B. Winn, Fd Blodgett, Billic Campbell. Pearl Casey, Oscar Marshall. Jack Warner, mgr. Art Lamert, S. Farrcll, Wm. Stites. McFarland. Farlow. Alex. Rennie, Jno. Hoffman, Bert Majors. Other pictures represent the K. O. T. ,M. team of 1906, the Albany Col lege aggregation of the same year, who captured the state championship and the Albany High School of 1908.

CLUSTER LIGHTS FOR THIS CITY Plan Now on Foot Is Meeting with General Favor by the Local Business Men. THE MERCHANTS WOULD CO-OPERATE WITH CITY Would Cost 50 Cents a Month For Twenty-Five Foot Front age to Maintain. If the business men of Albany will co-operate with the city authorities, a uniform system of street lighting which will include cluster lights for First, Second and Lyon streets will become a reality in the near future. Business men were interviewed in regard to the proposition this morning and those spoken to in regard to the matter were enthusiastic. The city proposes to place -cluster light posts at the comers of First, Second and Lyon Streets and main tain them out of the city funds. Lo cal business men are now being asked to install and maintain two posts be tween the corners on each side of the street, the estimated cost of main tainence. being approximately fifty cents for every twenty five feet of business frontage. . The plan appears to be the only solution of the problem of the street lighting in Albany and is meeting with much favor among the progressive and public spirited mer chants who have taken the lead in 'a campaign for a better lighted city.

Aprl-JQ (Tues) REG1NA AGAIN DEFEATED OREGON AGGIES, 6 TO 3 Game Was Characterized by Good Hitting; Fielding of Collegians Was Ragged. In a seven inning practice game the candidates for Hulen's Regina, West ern Canadian League again defeated Coach Garrett's Oregon aggies by a score of 6 to 3 yesterday afternoon at Corvallis. Hulen's men made a much better showing in this contest than they did in Tuesday's game when they defeat ed the O. A. C, by a score of 7 to 6. There is only one error marked against the Reginas while the aggies are charged with 6. However, the collegians put up a better game of ball than they have thus far this season. The special feature of the game was the batting of both sides. Re gina made seven hits off of O. A. C's. best pitchers and the collegians made five hits. The Canadians made two runs each in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings. Corvallis made one score in the sixth and in the seventh Captain Cooper made a three bagger, . which netted two runs for his team.

IS NOW CONSTRUCTING A NEW MONOPLANE FLYER Will Test Machine Sometime During Summer; Has Com plete Work Shop. I'ciple of this city should not bev surprised if Ihcy hear that H;my 1 ish. the .7 etar old sen of Mr and Mrs. L. II. Fish, of West Fifth. street, has become famous, for Henry is a genius in the art of.fli.. i.:achine cotisrr I'-'tion snd has iu-t .. Ictcd a genuine coaster aeroplane. The machine is an exact duplicate of an ordinary bi-plane to the min utest detail, except that it is not quite as large as the standard ma chine. The planes are three feet wide and are 18 feet 'n length and between the p'anes at each end are two smaller planes which are called balancing w nigs The machine lias a reguiar l-iil and rudder and in fail every de tail is similar to those of a success ful areoplane, save that it is built upon a smaller scale. :p. of bcin; . e,;.l by a pro 1 Her (t-tached .. a in ' ihtj lo .nift:on of the iiae:'ie . accom plished by mounting a hill and when placed in position it is released and as it gains rapid momentum, being mounted upon sturdy wheels, the el evating plane is adjusted and the ma chine is supposed to glide gently in the air, slightly in the same fashion as a gliding bi-planc. The driver occupys a position between the two planes in the center and manipulates the glider by a lever in the same way it is done upon the larger machines. The workmanship on the machine is complete to the minutest detail. The best of material was used in the construction of the wood work. The wires and stays are o'f standard ma terial. All of the wood work was made and shaped by the deft hand of Henry who has one of the most com plete work shops in his back yard and it all goes to show that he is an artist in that particular line. Henry has been an industrious man ual training student at the local high school and has been an attentive read er of the Popular Mechanics and the Hydro-Aero magazines, many num bers of which he has filed in his shop for reference. Aside from the bi-plane now com pleted, Henry is constructing another machine of the monoplane type of practically the same dimensions as the aeroplane glider. This machine will be similar lo the regular mono plane and is manipulated and flown in the same way as the former flyer. It is the young inventor's intention to try these machines out sometime during the summer and it is very probable that success will attain his efforts, as both machines are very substantially constructed.
