FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1913
ALBANY AND 1915.
The Commercial clubs of the Wil
lamette valley have agreed upon a
plan which will give this section of
the state the proper recognition at i
the Panama exposition. Albany, to
gether with every oilier town in the!
valley will profit from the joint ex
hibit which will be maintained at the
exposition grounds, but there is more
to be done if I. inn county is to reap its
just proportion of new settlers from
the crowds which will throng to Cal
ifornia in 1915.
Kvery line of business and every
profession is well represented in Al
'bany. Wharf this section of the state
needs is more, scientific farmers.
Farming has long since ceased to be
a vocation in which a lazy man or a
foid can succeed. It i:i now recog
nized among sensiblu people as
a business and no business can be
profitably conducted unless modern
methods arc used. There arc hun
dreds of acres of uncultivated land in
the Willamette valley and thousands
of acres that are poorly farmed. There
is enough laud tributary do Albany
to support a city of fifty thousand
people if the laud were divided into
smaller! farms and Inure scientific
methods used by the owners.
The problem in which every citizen
should now be interested is that of
securing our share of immigration
from the Lastcrncrs who will visit
the. Pan.Miia exposition.
i ue i 'entocr.ti neiieves that Lmu
county should send a suitable repre
sentative. IVrmaucut quarters should
bo provided and he should he furnish
ed with literature setting forth the
advantages of this section of the
stale from the standpoint of the man
who proposes to make his living from
the soil. The representative should
be instructed to tell the exact truth
and put in at least ten out of every
twenty-four hours of each day it
boosting Linn county.
Illuminated signs, bearing the sim
Vie hut effective inscription, "Albany
the Hub of the Willamette Valley"
should he placed in conspicuous plac
es near the Southern Pacific and Ore
gon Ktecln'c depots. The signs could
be obtained at a :du;hl cost and in all
probably arrange incuts could hi
made with the Oregon Power coin
pauy whereby lie,ht could be furnished
free of charge or for a nominal sum
A city-wide boosting campaign for
a better ad eiltetnent of I. inn conn
ty at the exposition should be launch
ed at an early d.'te. The joint adver
tisement of various western Oregon
counties is good, but Albany ami the
country tributary thereto must be giv
en special atteuiinn The Commercial
club has started in the rh'ht direction
and that organization should rece
tne meutlly support and cooperation
of eveiv citien in the plan already
outlined.

CITY HALLAHD PARK i

I i
Commercial Organization Con
sidered Novel Proposition
Last Night.
PLAN IS TO SECURE
CENTRAL SCHOOL SITE
Hall to Face Ellsworth; Broad
albin to Be Eliminated--Court
House Changed.
A city hall located on the Central
school building site, facing Ellsworth
street, the school to be situated on
two blocks of the present Albany
Coilege campus, a court house in the
v ourse of several years, situated on
the same block as the present one,
Init facing Ferry street and a city
park to be laid out on the remainder
of the two blocks between the two
public buildings, with the elimination
of Broadalbin street at that point, is
t'he proposition considered last night
at the Commercial club.
Pointedly speaking, the members
of t'he Commercial club are of a con
census of opinion in wanting a city
hall for Albau' and a public nark.
For some time, the public spirited men
of the city, have been racking their
heads in efforts to solve the establish
ment of t:hese two requisites for the
municipality and at last they believe
have hit upon the right idea.
Bonds for a city hall in the sum of
$60.(KX) have already been voted for.
The proposition is this. The city
counld buy the Central school grounds
from district" No. 5 and the district
could purchase two blocks of the col
lege campus, lying west of the pro
posed extension of Broadalbin street
for sc'Iiool site. Aside from the bond
money, the city could raise money for
the purchase of the grounds, through
the sale of city property now used
for 'the fire department. A city hall
would eliminate the separate mainten
ance of a city jail and the two fire
houses on Lyon and Second streets,
aside from other departments now
kept up by the city.
It s pointed out' that this is only a
matter of looking ahead to the needs
of Albany in view of the city's pro
gress. It is said that heretofore Inn
little thought was given to the fu
ture needs of the city along this line.
It is also pointed out that the location
is ideal for such purposes and thai
the city is destined to build up about
that section.
In order that the people behind the
project may have ample time to as
certain what can be do e relative to
the proposition, the college authori
ties have agreed to hold the two
blocks from sale for a definite per
iod. The proposition has been placed be
fore many leading cfQizcns of the
comimunity, including members of the
school board and city council and
thus far all have been enthusiastic.
Apparently it is only a matter of a

Charles Smith to Occupy Cell
in Jail Until Case is
Acted Upon.
Arriving home a, midnight la.-t
iiifdit, Sheriff Hotline is home alter
;n eventful ocean voyage from San
Francisco, bringing with him Charles
B. Smith, who was arrested in that
city a week after tawing his way to
:.-r:v out of the county jail on Oc
tober 20.
o.;i:t.i was placed in a steel cell in
:.e couutv jail last night, where the
sheriff says he will remain until his
rise is acted upon by the grand jury.
Smith's escape, in company .with Chas.
Davidnon, who has not yet been in
tercepted, was due to the fact that
:he prisoners are allowed in the cor
ridor of the jail during the day and at
night are locked in their cells. On the
night that the jail break occurred.
Sheriff Bodiue called the roll as us
ual. All the prisoners answered, sup
posedly from their cells, whereupon
the sheriff locked them up. It later
developed that Smith and Davidson
answered to their names while stand
ing close to the bars, slipping back to
a dark place in the corridor before
their cells were locked. During the
night with the use of a saw rhey had
secured, they sawed five bars in the
west window and escaped.
At the time of his break Smith was
being held to await the action of the
grand jury on wo felony charges,
one of securing money under false
pretenses and the other of securing
'roods under false pretenses. He had
deposited a worthless check on a Cal
ifornia bank for $1 100 in a Eugene
bank and after issuing large checks
against it there, transferred an al
leged balance of $811 to an Albany
bank. Here 'he issued several checks,
securing $280 worth of diamonds, a
suit of clothes and a small amount of
money and then endeavored -to secure
a draft for his purported balance be
fore many checks he had issued were
cashed.

New Walk From Lyon Street to
Park Will Finish Arrange
ments for Game.
FULLY 8000 PEOPLE ARE
EXPECTED TO ATTEND
Oregon's Defeat by Willamette
Stimulates Interest in Great
Game Saturday.
Practically everything is in readi
ness for the University of Oregon-
i;vgon Agricultural College football
game here next Saturday. Arrange
ments will be fully completed by to
morrow or next day with :hc con
struction of a new walk from ;he end
of Lyon street to the park. All of
the bleachers are up and the seats
have been marked in sections. Three
hundred feet of walks have been laid
inside the park. Through this con
venience the spectators will be en
abled to reach any section of the paik
without walking on the ground. This
will eliminate the difficulty experi
enced last year on account of some
muddy sections of the field.
William Eagles, chairman of the
Albany Commercial club's committee
on arrangements, said today that the
sidewalk to the grounds will be placed
j at once and all that will then remain
to be done before the whistle blows
will be the shifting of t'he goal-posts
a short distance southward and the
laying off of the field. This latter
work will be done under the personal
direction of the managers of the two
teams.
From all indications there will be
an immense crowd here for the game
and it is expected that the toial at
tendance will reach at least 8,-jOO. The
bleachers winch have been erected
will seat that many people comfort
ably. Strange as it may seem t.he defeat
of the University of Oregon team by
Willamette University at Salem Sat
urday is stimulating interest in next
Saturday's game and will increase the

The bear, which dressed over 200
pounds, was sent on the noon express
to a Portland market. Quite a crowd
gathered at the depot to see it loaded
for it is a very rare occurrence at
Shelburn to see a bear lying on an
express truck.
