CITY HAS GREAT Dr. W. E. Snyder Declares That Hub City's Progress Is Phenominal. SAYS THERE IS AN AIR OF PROSPERITY HERE Lauds Civic Pride and Declares That Churchs and Hotels Are Credit. Cfjntintictl from S.tlnnkty, Feb. 7 That there is an air of general pros perity about Albany land that the growth of the Hub City during- the past five years is phenomenal as com pared lo any other town in the Wil lamette valley on this side of the river, was the statement made yes .terday by Rev. J. E. Snyder, pastor of the Piedmont Presbyterian church, of Portland. Dr. Snyder is in the cily assisting Rev. F. II. Gcsclbrachl, of the First Presbyterian church in conducting a scries of special relig ious meetings. He will remain over next Sunday. Mrs. Snyder will ar rive tomorrow to join -her husband. Kev. Snyder hr.s been the pastor of Piedmont church in Portland for the past 5 years. He was formerly pastor of 'the Mrownsville Presbyterian church, having resided tl ere 12 years ago. lie built the diurch there. From Hrownsville he was called to Van couver, Wash., to accept a charge. From there Rev. Snyder went to Chi cago where Jic remained as pastor of a church for 3 yeatn. It was there that he first met Rev. Geselbracht, who ci'.me to Albany from Chicago. Here 10 Years Ago. Thin is Dr. Snyder's first visit to Albany in 10 . years. At that lime he was here on a similr.r mission. Rev. Tracy li. Griswold was then pas tor of the local church. Rev. (iris wold is now in New York, Dr. Snyder went into the evange listic field, (-I: rough litis connection with Dr. J. Wither Chapman, secre tary of the evangelistic committee of the general assembly of the Presby terian church, having been affiliated in the work with Dr. Chapman for the past 10 years. Since that time Dr. Snyder has gone about assisting in conducting special meetings. That Dr. Snyder's remeiubcrauce of the Albany of 10 years ago is very vivid, is indicated by bis comparison of the cily as it is today. He declared that it's growth during that time has been phenomenal as compared to oth er towns of the valley, on this side of the river and that there appears to be an air of general prosperity about Albany and the surrounding county. Civic Pride In Evidence. "Civic pride is shown here mi all side-," lie said, "and I refer particular ly to the churcl-.es, and the miles of Mreet pavement. The Albany l.otels arr wonderful for a cily r.f t i i sic and 1 think they would do credit to a much larger city. When 1 tiffed t tb i e to Albany from Brownsville car ao, my bug.i;y would gel iiiirct in the streets, not lo speak of the ter rible condition of tlu- roads. Hut now you can l;o with ea-.e about the city ;u:d I have noticed marked ro.d im provements " Speaking of the general develop ment ot the country, he said that as he has casually observed, ihe pro-r.ie-s has been very uhstaniial and cotisi-r .iti e ami in keeping with the pio-iesT characterizing Albany. "The construction of the Oregon Fleet rie into this section," he said, "is nue ot the greatest developments of proiiio-s. It should and is being the means uf vast gardening tracts being opened up. 1 think that the land alone; the Oregon Fhvtrio would be more profitable by the raisin;; of garden truck than hop, and particu larly if the establishment of a public maiket in Portland i; made Imagine the employment to be available, ami llien agree that the products wouldn't be wasted a they are now. The sale of products diiect to the consumer would be of the lv eat est bene tit to the producer and the Oregon llectrie and a public market established in Portland or anv other town will af ford thi opportunity."

GORVALLISITES TO COME Til ALBANY ON SPECIAL TRAIN Will Attend Methodist Church Organ Recital February 11 in Body. An event in Albany on Wednesday, February II, 8:15, is likely to attract many Corvallis lovers of music and personal friends of the D. II. Leech family this being the date of the in augural recital of the splendid new pipe organ just installed in the First Methodist church there. W. II. Don ley, of L- idon, England, originally, and now organist at the First M. E. church, Seattle, assisted by George Wilber Reed, tencr robusto, and Miss Orali Pearl Darkness, reader, will give die recital, and the names leave no doubt that the occasion will be more than usually enjoyable. This added lo the fact Miat D. H. Leech, pastor of the Albany church, was formerly a popular pastor here, has appealed in such way that Corvallis friends have made arrangements to run a special return train for the recital. This will make it possible for Corval lis people to go over to the Hub City after business hours and return after the recital, the trip and concert costing but little more than a dollar, if that. It is reasonably certain that a large number will go from here next Wednesday. Corvallis Times. SALEM DEFEATS ALBANY AT BASKETBALL, 29 TO 11 Would Have Been Pleasing But For Unfair Refereeing of Salemite. A packed gallery of basketball fans last night saw the Salem high school basketball team defeat the Albany high school team by the decisive score of 29 to II, a feat performed in the second half. The game was fast and snappy, full of thrills, at times very rough, and, but for the very unfair 'and one-sided work of a Salem ref eree in the first half, would have been a pleasing game to witness. Albany fairly outplayed Salem in the first part of the game, making five field baskets to only one by Salem. Salem's other five points in the half were nride on fouls, out of about ten tries. Albany did not even. get a chance to try from the foul line, though Salem made fully as many, if not more, fouls than Albany. Be sides this the referee had the ball thrown up on every excuse, often without an occasion for it at all. In the second half Fnlcm gave one of the most brilliant exhibitions of bas ketball ever seen here, making 22. while Albany only scored from the foul line. In this -half, Arthur I lodge, of the college, officiated as referee, in an impartial manner. Proctor was the star for Salem. All of the Albany boys deserve men lion, particularly for their splendid team work and ef fective guarding in the first half.
