battle of Gettysburg, which will be

June 29 to July 6. The four veterans
nf this citv will leave for the east the
latter part of June. The veterans who
nnrtirinnti'd in the famous battle and
who will attend the anniversary cel
ebration are William Meyer, W. P.
Small. Andrew Crooks and John Cat
lin. It was learned this morning that
one of the veterans may possibly be
unable to go, under the doctors or
ders, as he has been under the care
of physicians more or less during the
spring.
William Meyer, as a member of
company li, I"orty-ninth Illinois in
fantry, took active part in the battle,
but was not seriously wounded. W.
P. Small was a member of company ,
Nineteenth Indiana infantry, and was
not injured during the battle. John
Catlin, who has been a resident of this
city for over 30 years, was attached to
the Fifth Xcw York cavalry in troop
A. and received several wounds during
the engagement, in the legs and head.
Andrew Crooks, father of President
H. M. Crooks of Albany College, was,
a member of Company D. One Hun
dred and Forty-ninth Pennsylvania in
fantry, and during the three days en
gagement at Gettysburg, lost one of
his legs.
Before returning home it is the in
tention of the Albany men' to make a
tour of the important centers of the
East. John Catlin stated this morn
ing that he intended to make a trip
to Canada by way of Niagara Falls
before returning.
The memorial battlefield at Gettys
burg during the celebration will be
turned into a mammoth camping
ground and each delegation to the
celebration will be supplied with pri
vate Jicadquarters. A regular head
quarters camp will be established and
a huge assembly tent where all of the
seions of the celebration will be held
during the weeks event.
KEEP CHILDREN OFF THE
STREETS SAYS PASTOR
Dr. W. P. White Recommends
Strict Enforcement of Cur
few Ordinance.
That the crying need of Albany at
this time is the rigid enforcement of
an ordinance requiring children to
keep off the streets after eight o'clock
in the evening was the statement made
this morning to a Democrat represen
tative by Dr. W. P. White.
"The fathers and mothers of Al
bany are responsible for the present
condition of affairs. Children of ten
der years are permitted to roam the
streets, associate with young people
of questionable character and are thus
K,;ng led away from the path of de
cent living. The time to remedy this
condition is now. If the fathers and
mothers, who should be most vitally
interested in this subject, will not do
their part, a strict enforcement of the
ordinance, is, in my judgment, the
only alternative."

ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL WINS
GAME BY SCORE OF 7 TO 6
0. A. C. Freshman Lose After
Having Score of 6 10 0 in 6th,
by Blowing Up in Ninth.
With the score of 6 to 0 against
them at the end of the sixth inning,
the Albany high school team went
to bat. in the seventh and succeeded in
bunching hits and on several loose
plays scored four runs by the end of
the eighth and came back to batin
the ninth in time to make a whirl
wind finish when the collegians blew
up, and scored the necessary three
runs to win the game by a score of
7 to 6.
It appeared that the O. A. C. fresh
men were too over-confident relative
to the outcome of the game. Up un
til the sixth they had walked all over
the Albany youngsters. Rexford was
an easy marksman for their batsmen
and it was not until after the seventh
that the local boys awoke to them
selves and played some "ball."
It all happened in the ninth when
Tamerlane allowed the bases to be
filled and a fumbled single let in two
runs and the third one came in on an
error, thus completing the game as
Albany was last at the bat.
The score:
R. H. E.
Albany 7 8 4
Freshmen 6 6
Batteries: Rexford and Hector,
Tame Lane and Souple.

R. R. Com. F. J. Miller was in the
city this afternoon while on his way

S DAY AT
GKAUTAUQUA SET
Wednesday July 9, Has Been
Designated As Day For
Conference of Women.
LADIES CLUBS OF CITY AND
COUNTY TO PARTICIPATE
Interesting Program Is now
Being Arranged by Mrs.
Henrietta Brown.
Wednesday, July 9, has been desig
nated as Woman's Day at the coming
Chautauqua assembly and Mrs. Hen
rietta Brown has been selected to
prepare the program of exercises for
that day. She has already out the
matter before the woman's clubs of
this city, and they have practically all
decided to participate and do all that
is possihle to make the tlay a com
plete success.
It is the intention to arrange lor
conference of all the woman's clubs
of this part of the valley, each one to
report by a representative as to what
line of work they arc engaged in ;
what they have accomplished, and
what their plans are for the future.
During the day at least two lectures
will be delivered upon popular sub
jects, and a splendid concert will be
given in the afternoon by the cele
brated Tyrolean Alpine Singers. This
will be followed by a reception, given
by the clubs of this city to the visit
ors, and it the guests can remain un
til evening they will have the pleas
ure of hearing another concert by the
Tyroleans.
Ladies will be invited to be present,
who reside in localities where wo
men's organizations do not now ex
ist in the hope that they may catch
the inspiration from this conference.
Correspondence has already been op
ened up with the clubs in other towns,
and responses so far have all been
very favorable to the plan. Such a
program will surely appeal strongly
to the ladies, and it is confidently ex
pected that "Woman's Day" will be
one of the best days of the assembly.
The dates for Chautauqua this sea
son will be July 7th to 20th.

OTHER CROPS GROWN WHILE
LOGANBERRY PLANTS MATURE
Pier-Land Company Will Spare
No Effort in Ascertaining
Profitable Outlet.
There are many interesting -things
to know of the loganberry, such as
the numerous uses to which they are
put and the various by-products made
from them; but these will develop
later, and William Pierce and Rich
ard La ml is. formerly O. A. C. stu
dents, the latter a former Albany
young man, owners of the Pier-Land
Orchard Co., which company has
just recently completed the planting
of ihe largest loganberry farm in the
world of 71 acres neat Vleasant Hill,
Lane county, propose to spare no ef
fort in ascertaining the best and most
profitable outlet for their produce.
In addition to this phenomena) lo
ganberry plantation, the Pier-Land
Orchard people have set 40 acres of
Italian prunes, and will put out as
many more next fall. Between these
trees they have set several acres of
gooseberries, which always yield
ready and profitable returns.
After completing the planting of
the previously mentioned commodi
ties and knowing "variety" to be the
spice of life, they decided to carry out
their former plan in full and put in 20
acres of beans, in order that they
might have something to harvest this
fall. It took 1,2(X) pounds of seed for
this plnuling, and as far as is known
it is the largest of its kind in the
state. Beans do well in this locality
and yield, on the average, about two
tons per acre.
LA GRANDE IS TO HAVE
The Necessary Money Reached
Through Philanthropic Gener
osity of Mrs. M. F. Honan.
While in Eastern Oregon recently
where he went to prove up on a des
ert land claim in Malheur county,
Secretary Dclos Foster, of the local
Y. M. C. A. learned that La Grande
had raised $40,000 for a Y. M. C. A.
Through the philanthropic generosity
of Mrs. M. F. Honan," of that cifyV'a
liberal donor to enterprises of merit,
the sum of $35,000 sought in a sub
scription of public spirited citizens
was not only passed but niatrially en
larged by her single subscription of
$5000.
The campaign for the necessary
money was a stringent one but was
marked by interest, enthusiasm and
generosity and prominent citizens
worked hard and faithfully to gain I lie
necessary subscriptions by a fixed
date when a mass meeting was held
and the final subscriptions made.

on the new college campus which is
a 48-acre tract situated one-half mile

A MATTER OF COMMON
NEWSPAPER COURTESY
The practice of using free
reading notices for home talent

complimentary tickets has end-

concerned.
A certain number of coinplt-
mentary tickets will hereafter be
required as a condition precedent
') to the publication of matter of
this kind and unlets the eondi-
tion is met with cheerfully, a
charge of ten cents a line will
be made for such reading mat-

The Democrat is always glad
) to extend courtesies to any pub-
lie or semi-public enterprise, but
the Democrat also expects, and
