SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Oregon State Association of
Sabbath Schools Closed
Best Year in History.
CONVENTION WAS HELD AT
OREGON CITY LAST WEEK
Rev. F. W. Emerson Elected
to Head Association For
Ensuing Year.
Continued from Tuesday, April 29
Linn county was represented by six
teen accredited delegates at the an
nual Oregon state Sunday school
convention held at Oregon City last
week.
They were Mrs. W. T. Houts, Mrs.
C. G. Cowlcs. and Messrs. G. W.
RoWbaugh and F. W. Emerson all of
Albany. These delegates have planned
an echo-meeting uf the convention
which will take place on Tuesday eve
ning May 6 at the First Christian
church. Several of the' delegates out
side of Albany have . promised to be
in attendance and a number of short
addresses covering the work of the
convention will be made. The presi
dent of Linn county Sunday school
Association, Mr. J. H. Mcars, of
Shedd, will be present and tell some
things about the work of the county.
The newly elected president of the
state association, Rev. F. VV. Emerson,
in whose church the meeting will be
held will preside. It is hoped that
every Sunday school and church work
er in Albany will share in the general
uplift of these messages direct from
the state convention as the Sunday
school work is rapidly being elevated
to a plane of great importance in the
educational world.
The convention of the state Sunday
school association held last week
marked the closing of the most suc
cessful year in its history.
In order to accomodate the people
at both ends of the state a twin con
vention was held, one in Eastern
Oregon and one in the Western sec
tion of the state. The program at
each of these conventions is the same
and National and International speak
ers were engaged for special work at
both conventions. One set of officers
and superintendents look after the
work 'and one office is maintained.
Mr. Chas. R. Phipps is the efficient
general secretary and the executive
committee which is the governing
board of the association is made up
of representatives of the work
throughout the state. The convention
for the east side this year was held
at Baker. That of the west side of
the state at Oregon City. The com
bined registration of regular delegates
at the two conventions reached more
than eight hundred, while the attend
ance of others not registered nearly
doubled . this number.
At Oregon City there was no church
or audience room large enough to ac
commodate the evening audiences so
double meetings were held with the
speakers going from one place to the
other. The principal speakers and
workers in the convention were. Dr.
Wm, A. Brown, representing the In
ternational association? Rev. B. Fisher
coast secretary of the committee on
education of the Congressional pub
lication society, Rev. A. M. Williams
who has recently returned from a
trip to the orient in the interests of
the World's association, .Mrs. L. A.
Danenhower, state superintendent of
elementary work, Mrs. S. W. Orms
by state superintendent of "Teen Age"

COYOTE STRAYS THROUGH
MAIN STREETS OF CITY
It Attracted Attention of Many
Local People Who Pronoun
ced lt One of Species.
An incident that attracted much at
tention this morning about 11 o'clock
was a coyote straying through
the main streets of the city.
The animal was first seen near the
corner of Second and Ferry streets,
turning the corner at Third then going
to Lyon street. It pursued its course
then north to Second street, thence to
baker and up Baker street to First
street where it disappeared below the
river bank.
Several people saw it and claimed
that it was an ordinary timber
coyote. It was a rather small animal
and did not appear to be particularly
shy at the sight of civilization. It
is probable that it has been in cap-,
tivity in some den in the city from
which it secured its release through
neglect. on the part of the owner in
leaving the cage open.

BIG CHAUTAUQUA
MEETING HELD
Indications Are Bright For the
Best Assembly in History
of Association.
MUCH BUSINESSTRANSACT
ED AT SESSION LAST NIGHT
Grounds to Be Improved; Dif
ferent Standing Committees
Were Appointed.
That the coming assembly of the
Albany Chautauqua Association, to
be held in Bryant's park from July
7 to 20 inclusive, will be the best as
sembly thus far held was indicated
at the meeting of the official board
of the association which was held last
night at the Commercial club.
The meeting convened at the call
of President Kliis who made an ex
tended report in relation to the talent
that had been engaged for the coming
asembly stating that sufficient talent
had already been secured to warrant a
statement tnat it would have the best
program ever put out by the associa
tion. The devotional committee was in
structed to extend an invitation to
the different churches of the city to
hold a union service at the auditorium
on the morning of Sunday, July 2U,
the last day of the assembly. It was
decided that hereafter no admission
fee will be charged to enter the
grounds on bumlay and that all con
cessions should be closed on that day.
The religious and devotional com
mittees were requested to make ar
rangements to secure the necessary
music tor buntlay services. An invi
tation will be extended to the dif
ferent societies and organizations of
the city urging them to establish head
quarters on the grounds.
On account of the time of holding
the assembly being extended from one
to two weeks the charges for camp
ing priviliges for the season has been
advanced from $1 to $1.50. Having
every reason to believe that the num
ber of people camping at the grounds
will be double the number of last year
the committee on grounds was in
structed by unanimous vote of those
present to extend the water pipe and
electric wires through the camping
grounds north of the auditorium.
C. E. Sox was appointed to arrange
for a special musical program for
Monday evening, July 7, the occasion
o'f the opening night.
The different standing committees
appointed are as follows: educational,
onimittee, C. K. Sox, Prof. Hoetticher,

cents; Officers of the association were
instructed to arrange with the Albany
State bank to take care of all neces
sary expenses until after the next as
sembly. The program which has thus far

ALL UNDERTAKERS ARE NOT
GUILTY OF CHARGING BIG SUM
They Worked Heroically and
Industriously During Recent
Ohio Flood.
Although press accounts have ap
peared in the eastern papers during
the recent Ohio floods insinuating that
the undertakers of that section have
been quilty of "holding up" relatives
of the victims by charging exhorbitant
prices for funeral services, the fol
lowing taken from the Sunnysidc, a
journal devoted to the interests of
undertakers, conveys the other side
of the question and not only speaks
for itself, but probably for others:
To the Editor of Sunnysidc: Sir:
SMe handled about forty bodies at
Hamilton and the officials could hard
ly praise the Cincinnati undertakers
enough for all they did as the expense
was all charged to the Funeral Direc
tors' club of Cincinnati, O. Five days'
work was done at Hamilton.
Yours very respectfully,
JAMES A. VITT,
Undertaker of Cincinnati.
