purchased the G. C. Ragan photo
graph gallery on West Second street
and will hereafter conduct the busi
ness. Mr. I -an will be assisted in
the business by his wife. Both are ex
perienced photographers and come to
Albany highly recommended. Many
beautiful photographs attest their

business for the past year enjoying
a liberal patronage, has not decided
what course he will now pursue. It
is probable that he will leave Albany.
LOCATE IN LINN
Four Emissaries of Dissatis
fied Canadians Here Yes
terday Looking at Land.
RUMOR THAT THEY HAD
PURCHASED UNCONFIRMED
Well Pleased With This Section
According to Interperter;
May Leave Tomorrow.
That the Russian colony of several
thousand farmers of Saskatchewan
province, Canada, will locate some
where in the Middle Willamette valley
and pro'bably in Linn county was per
haps definitely indicated yesterday by
the fact that the four representatives
of the horde of dissatisfied settlers of
Canada, who are looking over the con
ditions of the valley, arrived here
Monday evening and were again
shown some land that they had seen
when they first stopped off here last
week.
The four scouts have made an ex
tended tour of Western and Southern
Oregon, in pursuit of a suitable site
for their colony. After a brief trip
from. Eugene to Southern Oregon
points they returned there Saturday
night and spent all day Sunday there.
They left Eugene Sunday night after
being shown over the country adjacent
to that city and after a brief trip to
Corvallis they returned here. The
four Canadians arrived in Portland
from Canada about 10 days ago and
since that time have been constantly
investigating conditions from one end
of the valley to the other.
According to their interperter, they
are more pleased w'ith the upper sec
tion of the Willamette valley than any
other part they have thus far visited,
and it was intimated that the only
question1 that would stand in the way
of their locating here is that of find
ing a sufficiently large enough tract
of land at a reasonable price.
The grievance which has caused the
unprecedented desire to immigrate on
file part of the Russians, who have re
cently settled in Canada, is because
of the long. cold, winters there. They
desire a mild climate where they can
have plenty of all kinds of fruits and
vegetables, being strictly vegetarians.
A rumor was going the rounds late
yesterday afternoon to the effect that
as a result of the trip into the county
southeast of here, where the four Ca
nadians were shown a large tract of
land by a local real estate firm, that
they had purchased or taken an op
tion on 1000 acres of land. The fact
that tlicy had been shown the land
was confirmed but when seen this
morning members of the real estate
firm, who desire that their names be
withheld at the present, declined to
confirm the report that the deal had
been consummated.
The interpreter for the quartette of
land seekers refused to authorize any
statement, saying that he was not at
liberty to say anything definite. The
party will probably remain here today
and will leave sonic time tomorrow.
REGULAR FIRE DRILL TO BE
HELD TOMORROW NIGHT
Members of the Corvallis Fire
Department to Come Over
to Witness Fete.
. Assistant Fire Chief E. H. Horsky
announced this afternoon that the reg
ular Thursday night fire drill will be
held tomorrow evening at :30 o'clock
at the corner of Lyon and Ninth
streets. The firemen will work from
the roof of the Hotel Van Dran.
AH of the fire equipment will be
taken out, including the new chemical
fire truck and the full fire fighting
force will be on hand to manipulate
the apparatus. The drill promises to
be an interesting one as it will be the
first fire drill to be held with the new
tire truck in conjunction with the
other appliances. In the dash out
Lyon street after the alarm is sent,
the sight promises to resemble the
fire department of a metropolitan city.
A large delegation of the members
of the Corvallis fire department will
come over to witness the drill and af
ter it is over, members of both depart
ments composing the arrangement
committee of the firemen's tourna
ment will assemble at a meeting at
the fire house to discuss plans for the
holding of the fete, as organized at a
joint meeting at Corvallis last week.
