WERE MET AT DEPOT BY SCORES OF ALBANYITES Interesting Program Prepared by Commercial Club to Last One Hour. Today, Thursday, July 17, 1913, be longs to .the people of Corvallis. Albany has respectfully Rive it to Corvallis and the people of that city have graciously accepted it and have showntlicir appreaciation by coming here in a body, which has been con fer ali.ely estimated to number 3UO, j to participate in the days program at j me Albany Chautauqua j I ito hmid nt tritml .ih ir ar, tn he welded stronger than ever today and they will forever be preserved invio late, between the sister cities, namely tlie heart and the Hub of the Willam ette valley. 'Corvallis Day on the Chautauqua program was conceived sometime ago ; ... ... oro rt Alh.imr hnndprc wnl when a score of Albany boosters went to Corvallis to advertise the assembly. When the Corvallis junketers re cently ..entered this city, they were shown every courtesy and were dined bountifully at the city's leading hotels at the expense of the Albanyites. Again the ardent supporters of the Chautauqua talked of it, which later resulted in an invitation being extend ed to the Corvallis Commercial club to join in a special days festivities. The invitation was accepted. Accordingly the day was named and the Corvallis Commercial club, upon being urged has prepared an : hours program, not with the idea of doing a strenuous task, but to show the Al bany people their feeling of gratitude according to a statement made by a Corvallis man. .who further said that Dr. J. R. N. Bell, the speaker of the day for the Corvallisites, will endea vor to further cement the cordial re lations between Albany and Corvallis. Arriving at 1 :0 Oo'clock on a special train over the Corvallis & Eastern which was chartered for the occa sion, the Corvallisites were met at the Southern Pacific depot by a host of local commercial club members, who escorted them through the gates of i the city, with the assurance that! 'the latch kev hangs on thcoutstde and make yourself perfectly at home."! The. special train left the Heart city at 1J:3U o clock, permitting the vis itors to dine at home before leaving and the train will return tonight at their option, or when the program completed which will be about 10 o'clock. The big party og guests and hosts wended their way direct to the grounds and after a congenial and spirited conclave, assembled in the au ditorium at 1:30 o'clock when the tf- XI... fir. f tlio nrnrrrnn. given tinder the auspices of the Cor vallis Commercial club and constted of and address by Rev.

Hiram coRVALLis m ma TO PLAY SERIES OF BALL GAMES Definite Arrangements Have Not Been Made but Pros pects Are Favorable. ' While no definite arrangements have I yet been made prospects are favor : able for a series of games next month betweeif Corvallis and Albany teams, .ays the Republican. It appears that tiie management of both teams desire such a schedule and it is certain to appeal to fans of the two cities. Corvallis did not want to meet Al bany earlier in the season, or until the Comets were well organized and had a dependable and permanent line up and could have some hope of suc cess. The Albany team has been uniform ly successful except in its three games with Salem, which it lost by narrow margins. Corvallis has won its last two games and the boys are improving right along. The "dope" would in dicate that the two teams are about even in strength. . o LANGDON ESTATE SAID TO BE WORTH $75,000 Former Albany Banker Had ' Hundreds of Friends in Linn County.

UN lUlrUU M LUI NEW RAILROAD Party of S. P. and P. E. & E, Railway Wen Arrived Here Yesterday. MADE TRIP OVER THE NEW ROAD FROM EUGENE Business Prospects All Over Country Are Reasonably Good Says Spence. Arriving in the city late yesterday afternoon, a party of prominent South ern Pacific and Portland, Eugene & Eatem railway officials, made a brief stop here and proceeded to Portland. Ihey have been making an inspection tour of the new road of the latter com pany from Eugene to Corvallis and made the trip in a special train pro vided by George O'Conner, manager of the new road. The party consisted of J. L. Spence, of New York, with his wife and son, vice president and director of traffic of the S. P. Co., T. A. Graham of San Francisco, assistant freight and traf fic manager, S. P. Co., R. A. Stra hom, president of the P. E. & E. and H. A. Hiushaw and John M. Scott of the Portland S. P. offices. Mr. Spence is making a tour of inspection of his companiy's properties. "Business prospects all over the country ,-rc reasonably good," said Mr. Spence. "The crops are good and our railroad traffic indicates a healthy business c'ohdition. Things look very favorable for railroad extension in the Northwest, if the traffic legislation does not 1ntcrtcrer--At present busi. ' fZ, " O direct factor upon which our con- struction work hangs," and he spoke partly in reference to the Nation ex tension, "is the condition of the mon ey market, and there is little doubt but that the tariff largely affects this condition." Girls Will Play Baseball. It was definitely given out at Chau tauqua headquarters this morning, that as a special and added attraction for the benefit of the Corvallis visitors iu the city today, the girls baseball game, which was scheduled to take place the oilier evening, will surely be played this evening on the Chautau qua grounds. The game will be called at 6:30 o'clock and the opposing teams will represent the "Waukan Inn" and the "Seldom Inn." False Alarm. A fire alarm sounded at 12 o'clock but the firemen were unable to locate a fire. N'o box number was rung and it is believed that the wires in some way got crossed.

SAGE ROOSTER TELLS OF REGENT VISIT HERE Former Resident of Albany Is a Booster for Linn County; Meets Old Friends. Eugene, Or., July 13. Editor Dem ocrat: The Willamette valley iu 1913 compared by the writer as he saw it in 1877 and in the early 80s. Leaving Eugene at 7:30 on the 7th in an Overland aulo, we soon found the well kept highways leading north Irom Eugene. In the latter 70s and early 80s the writer had occasion to tnuvel over this route quite frequently, and often wondered why the farms were so bad ly neglected. It is different lodayjor on my trip last Tuesday, we passed many a farm with all the best and most modern improvements and we bred stock, and poultry, where in the 70s and 80s nothing but old shacks for residences, tumble down fences anil I lie old buckskin horn and crumpled horn briudlc cow and domiuick roos ter, were the assets of the home. Our first stop was Brownsville, and such a change since my visit there iu the 80s. Why, everything seemed changed (except my olid friend A. A. Tussing. who still wears that same old smile and has that same warm handshake that never gets cold or wears off). Brownsville is certainly prosperous. Our next stop was Shedds. Sorry we had rot the time to look over the Albany I rairic, near ly the heart of the Willamette valley. From Shedds we turned back for Eugene via Halsey, 1 larrisbiirg and Coburg, arriving home at 5:30. The roads being good and crops of all kinds looking fine, farmers all in their hay fields and business being '.;ond iu all the towns and everybody miling and prospering, it looks good o one that is cooped up in a dry. lusty shop, month after month, anil knows but little of vhat ir, going on, on the outside. We are all kicking about so much rain and so much dam age, etc. Let me tell you, I came to Albany in July, 1877. I worked iu the harvest field southeast of Albany; I carried rails from the fence on the old Olney Fry place and helped to pry up the header out, of the mud. We were on the Reason McConell place thresh ing one week and threshed 300 bushel of wheat. Most of it war, sprouted. 1 hauled wheat to Albany from the Fry farm with 4 horses about 25 arks at a load. Did you say mud? Well, I should smile! So if anyone says that this has been the wettest season we havc ever had, just refer them to 77. Many thanks to Mr. E. C. Lake ,-md son, who had charge of the auto for the trip, and when we go again I will surely pilot them through the garden spot of the Wil lamette vallrv, the Albany Prairie and the Hub, Albanv.
