That Spur Is to Be Built in
Near Future.
WOULD THROW KINGS
VALLEY TRADE HERE
Big Mill at Hoskins Is Under
going Repairs for Resuming
of Operations.
Continued from Wednesday, Aiitf. 20.
Thai a railroad is to be built from
Airliu lo Hoskins, and eventually ex
tend to Wren on the Corvallis &
K;islci n, which would throw the big
gest bulk ot trade from King's val
ley into Albany and this section of
the valley, is the contention of a par
ly ot prominent business men of
this city who were up in that section
recently.
To further strengthen this conten
tion, persistent rumor has it that the
road is to be built at an early date.
Whether it will be a spur of the Ore
gon Klcctric or the Southern Pacific
i.-. not known. At present the latter
road runs to Airlie iroiu points north.
The belief that the road will be
built is further substantiated by the
fact that a lare lumber mill at llos
Uins ii beiiiK repaired and new ma
chinery i.- heinu installed preparatory
to resuming operations. hor the past
three years this mill has been idle.
It has a capacity of feet of
lumber per day.
At present a crew of 15 or 20 men
are repairing and reconstructing a
bridne over l.uckieuiute creek, pre
paratory to hauling a Inline new boiler
lo the ile of ihe mill which is to be
installed in the plant. The boler is
loaded on trucks and as soon as (lie
bridge U made slllisiantial enough to
carry it across it. will be started to
its. destination.
In the event ihat the road is built
as Ihe reports have it. it will lap a
ureal faiiiiiiiK and dairy country, in
eluding kind's valley, which is con
ceded to he one of tlie richest liltle
valleys, full of undeveloped rcsoim1
iu this section from Airlie. to
Wren, where it will connect with the
('. & I-'.., which is a direct mule to
Albany. Scores ot" people of Albany
own lauds in Kind's alley and this
project will undoubtedly interest
them.

Blue Sky Law Passed by Last
Legislature Cuts Off Shady
Operations.
S. B. VINCENT DIS
CUSSED THE NEW LAW
The Public Likes to Be Flim
flammed But It Cant Be
Done Here.
COMPLETES BUSINESS
Met Yesterday Afternoon at
Commercial Club and
Cleared Boards.
Under the provisions of the Illue
Sky law passed by the last legislature
wildcat mining operations arc grad
ually becoming obsolete iu Oregon,
according to a statement made by
Sidney ii. Vincent, inspector ir. the
corporation department at Salem, who
passed through Albany last evening
after a mine inspecting lour through
out Southern Oregon.
"Wildcat schemes," he said, "hav?.
ir chance. If we don't get thenr all
this year we will next year. The
American public likes lo be flim-flammed;
they like to buy "tic liar" slock
at one cent, but lliey can't do it
in Oregon.
"Only recently," he continued, "we
forced a $50t),KX) company that was
promoting an invention for logging
machinery to reduce its stock to $35,
I'tHi. Another man had a patent toilet
for farmers. It was an ingenious
idea, but it wouldn't, work. We re
fused hi in a license. We refused a
divinir bell coiunanv a license, and it
took its outfit to California. j
"WV have ordered a receivership j
for the Almeda M ine cum pan v, in- j
corporated at $5.0t)M.om. , friendly!
receiver will be appointed to operate
to giv e stock owners all posib!e tin- j
der t he circumstances. 1 here was
aunt her instance of a patent refrig
erator company which was terrifical
ly over capitalized. It was incorpor
ated at $250,000. The promoters were
lo ici halt", and a California company
holding the patent to get a minimum
bonus of $10,01)0 annually."
The II hie Sky law remit res every
corporation to make an annual re
port covering its methods and exhib
its of iis activities. If things look
riht, the corporation gels a permit
from the state. If not a personal ex
amination is made. It is the business
of S. II. Vincent to make these per
sonal examinations.
The new law also prevents corpo
rations from increasing the price of
slock unless a dividend has been
earned.
Meet in 14 late yesterday aftei no.m
at Ihe Commercial club the Albany
Chan tan) u,i board wound up all ot
Ihe bu-iness and cleared the boards
of the la si a st i n hi y. by allowing
scores of bilU and disposing of mini
ei on - other matteti s.
The meet i nt; was called lo order
at 5 o'clock by President Ivillis of the
Chaulatimia as social ion. The board
immediately proceeded t business
with all of the members and a few of
the association members present. All
of the unfinished business left over
hoiu the previous meeting was coin
pleled and everything was put iu read
iness for the next assembly.
