UNUSUALLY SLOW
RESULT OF CAMPAIGN
IS VERY GRATIFYING
Much Interest Has Been Awak
ened in School Industrial
Shows,
Continued from Tuesday, Sep. 9
That the school children of Albany
and Linn county will be elaborately
represented at the county and state
fair. by industrial exhibits composed
of work done by them during the last
year, is indicated by the county wide
campaign being conducted here by
various echool authorities in the lorm
of personal solicitations and notices
posted in conspicuous places appeal
ing to the teachers, parents and stu
dents to cooperate in carrying out the
plan.
The campaign is the result of al
leged lack of interest in such enter
prises by the school patrons in in
stilling the proper spirit into the stu
dents. Recently the county board of
education met and adopted a resolu
tion insisting on the cooperation nf
school patrons with the teachers and
county authorities to encourage the
students, and this was the keynote of
the campaign. Since then, County
Superintendent W. L. Jackson and
county school supervisors have been
working up interest in the enterprise.
City school superintendents have been
enlisted in the work and the result
thus far is gratifying. Responses
have come from every section
of the county and from present indi
cations the prospects are that Liim
county will have unprecedented
school industrial exhibits at the state
and county fairs.
The Linn county fair is to be held
at Scio September 24-25 and it is the
plan to have the original exhibit here.
It will be preserved and probably ad
ded to, when the whole collection
will be sent to the state fair.
Various collecting places have been
designated for the shipment of pro
posed exhibits for the fair, where the
county authorities will have it packed
end shipped tc the destination. The
local high school here is one of these
places and the material received thus
:as is an interesting sight, embodying
practically everything taught m .he
industrial departments of the scnools.
Only 88 Have Thus Far Re
gistered As Voters in Linn
County.
MAJORITY ARE WOMEN;
SHELBURN IN THE LEAD
Local Women Have Apparently
Shown But Little Interest
in Politics.
FOUR EMPLOYEES 9 YEARS
AGO, NOW EIGHTY-THREE
Remarkable Advancement
Made at Round-house-Bus-.
iest Place in Hub.
When Master Mechanic J. W. Tay
lor began work with the Corvallis &
Fr.stern nine years ago as foreman at
the round house, there were tour men
under him. Now the roll at the
shops, as checked up the last time,
shows eighty-three employees in this
department of the road.
Around the house is one of the busi
est places in the Hub. Besides the
tegular work of the company, con
siderable is done for the Southern
Pacific. An interesting piece of work
now being done is the overhauling
and redecorating of the chapel car
St. Anthony, making it look like a
new coach. This car is seventy-five
feet long, and, besides containing the
chapel has a sleeping room, dining
room and kitchen.
A new turn table is being installed
in place of the old wooden structure.
This one is of steel, a modern nf
fair, capable of meeting the demands
of the heaviest kind of equipment.
The following statement given out
to the press by State Game Warden
1-inley will be of interest to local
.sportsmen:
Contrary to the belief of several
prominent snortsmen. ineludimr I H
Westcott, of Gaston, there is no fed
eral open or closed season tor ducks
in Oregon, and as yet the rights of
the Oregon hunters have not been en
croached on, according to William L.
iMiiley, state game warden.
"A careful perusal of the pamphlets
issued by the government will show
the reader that the season, described
as September 15 to December 15, is
merely proposed," said Mr. Finley.
"When the statel legislature last
met," he said, "it established Septem
ber 15 to December 31 in Multnomah
Clatsop, Tillamook and Coos coun
ties. In the other valley counties and
in the western part of the state No
vember 1 to February 15 was named
as the lime for bagging ducks.
"Last March congress passed the
law prescribing closed seasons bv
zones and the national authorities
went to work at once.
"The biological survey appointed
committees in various districts to
make recommendations for the men
who are to do the prescribing.
"The commission then designated
seasons for the zones and gave Ore
gon September 16 to December 16.
However, that was merely a recom
mendation from the districts. The
object was merely to cause comment
and to give the men from the dis
tricts something on which tn nrmic
"It seems that this is what the dis
satisfied men of the state have taken 'required to register for the enmimr
as the established season
'California and Washington on
each side of us have October 1 to
January 15 as the season, which is
after all the logical time for ducks
in this state, as breeding begins im
mediately after that and there arc no
ducks to speak of before October 1.
"When W. H. Henshaw. chief of
the biological survey, came through
Portland collecting the reports of
these committees, I took up with him
the discrepency of the recommenda
tion and he assured ine that the de
fect would be remedied.
NOTES ABOUT PEOPLE
OF SHEDD AND VICINITY
Shedd, Or., Sep. 10. (Special to
Democrat.) Mr. C. A. Pugh had
business calling him to Albany last
Friday.
Miss Goldie Wells ol Halsey was a
Shedd shopper Tuesday.
Mr. F. S. Belmonlh of Portland
had business in Shedd Monday.
Messrs. E. Davis and E. B. Penland
of Halsey Miad business in Shedd
Monday.
Mr. A. D. Elder went to Indepen
dence Monday to see his wife who is
there picking hops.
Mr. G. A. Layton of Halsey passed
through Shedd Tuesday on his way
to the Boston Roller Mills.
Rev. Richard Hockings of the M.
E. church, with his wife, did some
shopping in Albany Monday.
Miss Catherine Sutherland of Al
bany spent Sunday with her parents
in Shedd.
Mr. R. S. Simons of Brownsville
was in Shedd Monday on business.

Thursday night and left a 11 1-2

Mrs. P. Conner was an Albany
shopper last Monday.
Only SS have thus far registered as
voters in Linn county for the gener
al election 111 the fall. Registration is
unusually slow. There is only about
a mouth more before the registration
books close. By the fact that regis
tering has been slow and that there
is only a short time before the books
close, it is expected that ;here will
be a rush towards the last. Those
who go to the registering places now
nay avoid a rush later on.
Thus far the majority of those
who have registered are women, but
this is natural, as those who recis'er-
.ed at the last election, orovidinir thev
1 nave not cnangeu residence, are not
.M..,.vu ... ivkoiii iui mc cumins
election. It was during the last gen
eral electfon that the women pf Ore
gun were euirancuisea.
The women of Albany have thus
far shown but little interest in poli
tics and towards registering as vot
ers, if the fact that but few of them
have so far registered, can be regard
ed as indicative of this. From the
number that have so far registered,
and with the short time in which to
do so, hundreds will not have an op
portunity to cast their vote in the
coming election, unless they hurry to
the registration precincts.
According to records in County
Clerk Mark's office, the number of
registrations up to the present time
in the various precincts all over the
county, shows that Shelburn still
leads with a majority, with South
Lebanon, Halsey and Santiam in or
der. By precincts, the record is as fol
lows: Shelburn, 22; South Lebanon,
15; Halsey, 8; Santiam, 7; Albany,
6; West Albany, 5; North Scio, 5;
Debanon, 4; East Albany, 3; Tangent,
3; Crawfordsville, 2; Knox Butte, 2;
North Brownsville, 1; Calapooia, 1;
Orl cans, 1; Rock Creek, 1; Sweet
Home, 1, and Syracuse, 1.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank George .and
Mr, Tudder of Eugene, stopped in
the city last evening on their way
home after spending the week end in
Lebanon.
Lillic Hughes has left for Castle
Rock, Washington where she will re
main for several months.
