GRADUATES TONIGHT; Prominent Oakland Young Lady to Be Presented by Mrs. i Adna Smith Flo. I Tonight at 8:30 o'clock at the j United Presbyterian church, Mrs. ! Adna Smith Ho presents Miss Ger ' trude Young, soprano, in graduation recital. Miss Young, whose home is ; ill Oakland. Oregon, is perhaps the I strongest graduate that Albany Col lege conservatory has ever turned out. Her unusual ability has been shown not only by strong work in musical lines, but by quite unusual strength in the regular college work. For some time past she has been the so prano in the United Presbyterian church. She presents tonight a com plete program of more than twenty songs, including some of the best work of Handel, Mozart, Schubert, and Thomas. She has gotten out what is doubt less the finest artistic program ever published in Albany, an eight page folder containing the words of all the songs. Miss Young has developed remarkably in freedom and strength during the past year. Her singing tonight will give real pleasure to both the uncritical and the most musical of her hearers. This splendid concert is entirely free to everyone. Albany is urged to show its appreciation of this brilliant young musician by com ing out t ohear her tonight. EUGENE ENTERTAINS OREGON ELECTRIC RAILWAY OEFICIALS AT A BANQUET Eugene, Or., June 4. President Young and other officials of the Ore gon Electric were dinner guests of Eugene business men last night, the purpose being to make Mr. Young ac quainted wit lithe people of this part of the valley with whom he has so recently come into business relations. Two hundred business and profes sional men of the city sat down to an elaborate banquet, served at 6:30 at the Hotel Osburn. President Young, owing to the fact that he is new to the work in Oregon, made but brief remarks, asking that the principal talk be made for the railroad by Judge Carey. "This occasion affords mc the op portunity to express the hope -that the people of Oregon will not permit any interference with the usefulness of the Mate University, said Mr. Carey. "No better investment of public funds could be made. The argument that some of the young men and wo men cannot or do not avail them selves of the opportunity to get the benefits of collegiate education is no argument against the usefulness of such institutions. The general level of culture and education is raised by the training that is given to those who study at such schools, and every class that graduates helps to raise the average of intelligence in tne state. "Nor is there any conflict of inter est between the State University and other collegiate institutions, or be tween the State University and the Agricultural College. All these 'have their field of usefulness, and though the margins of their courses may overlap there is no interference and should be no friction. I think the at tempt to curtail by law the scope of either or any of these schools is a grave mistake." WORK ON OREGON ELECTRIC NEAR JUNCTION CITY PROGRESSING FAST Junction City, Or., June 4. Work is progressing rapidly at tile Willam ette river crossing of the Oregon Electric Railway. The north ap proach to the bridge lias been com pleted, an earth embankment of near ly 70,000 yards of earth having been thrown up by the mammoth steam shovel in 46 working days. This steam shovel is being moved to the south side of the river, where it will work to throw up the south approach of the bridge, having to move about 30.000 yards. Watertight compartments are being sunk for the erection of tile concrete piers of the live span steel bridge, which probably will not be completed until October 1. This, however, will not hold up the running of electric trains to Eugene, as the false work is being made heavy enough to run the trains over.

OIL GUSHER CATCHES FIRE AT TAFT, CALIFORNIA, AND BURNS FIERCFLY, Tail, Cal., June 3. The Pacific gusher, ignited yesterday afternoon is still shooting its roaring column of iire 3,-0 feet in ihe air. There is lit tie wind, and the danger to sur rounding nronertv is corrcsnonilitm Iv ! lessened. The stream is eight inches thick at the base ami is spouting 7(KX) barrels j a day. The red glare by night and . the black plume day are clearly visi ble miles away. At the meeting this afternoon of of I ticers of the Pacific Crude Oil Com pany, it was decided to tight the tlames with steam from huge boil crs. Five hundred feet from the llaming :iciiie is a 5000 barrel tank chock full, and onlv 100 feet distant is the No. 2 well of the Buick Oil Company, both of which are doomed if the wind starts, Five thousand barrels in a nearby sump hole burned out today. MISFITS Contributed By F. P. Nutting. IS Thirty-four Albany men, in seven automobiles, including the Mistit man, who made an automobile trip from Albany through Tangent, Shedd, Hal sey, Harrisburg, Junction, Irving, Eu gene, Springfield, Coburg, Browns ville, rlamview and Lebanon, had a great time and an experience long to be remembered. It wait for till nn r rnnr of adver tising Albany's great Oregon Elec tric celebration on the 4th of July and it did it. Also another great event, the an nual Chautauqua assembly July 4th to 14th, with a splendid program up. A fine day and a jolly crowd out Tim into the ride. Along the way there are roads and roads, rough and smooth, monuments and eye-sores. Ihe finest is leading into Eugene, four miles of Macadam, an opportunity for a forty mile gait without a quiver. There is another stretch of good road between Springfield and Co burg, and all along many tine pieces ot smooth road were tound. Only two blowouts occurred, those to the tires ot jack Barrett, one with a record of 7,500 miles, and the other to a tire of J. A. Howard. Ihe big fclowout has been saved for Albany's 4th of July celebration, when at least 20,000 people will take a hand in the greatevent. Eugene extended a glad hand, with a reception at the commercial club and a tine dinner at the Osburn hotel. Eugene has some good buildings, but the biggest thing in the world is Man, and Eugene's best asset is her men and women, including Mrs. Osburn of the hotel. Brownsville also set up things, ice cream and lemonade, very refreshing, and a tine supper was had at the new Hotel Lebanon by most of the crowd, the Mistit man, though, enjoying a neat feast of Lebanon's unsurpassed strawberries, etc., at the hospitable home of J. C. Mayer, where the latcli string is on the outside. Several Pacific highway signs, seen down, should be put in place by the county. It ought to do that much. Perhaps the prettiest farm residence and surroundings seen, among the many line ones observed, is the home of D. II. Pierce, a wealthy stocT man between Coburg ami Brownsville. The Eugene spirit was shown when it was suggested that Albany would want to hire the Eugene band for the 4th of July celebration. "No, you can't hire it," they said, Eugene will take it herself, with a big crowd. Later when the Oregon Electric reaehes Eugene there will be another colossal celebration, uivinir Albnnv an opportunity to reciprocate. The average life of an auto tire is from 3000 to 4000 miles, meaning at the present exorbitant cost of tires about 1 cent a mile for each tire, or 4 cents for all of them, meaning an expense for each auto on this trip of $4.64 for rubber alone, not counting the wear on the necks seeing the beautiful scenery. Gasoline averages nearly 2 cents a mile, and the wear on Ihe machine is considerable. Some one has figured as high as 15 cents a mile as the total cost of running an auto. Probably less. After all the owner of an automo bile is a gooil deal of a philanthropist. The Misfit man appreciated being in the auto of D. f). Woodworlh. safe, sane and considerate.

Sonic might just as well wear trou sers," declared the Rev. Father F. J. Van Atwerp of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary church. Father Van Ant werp gave a scatching denunciation of present-day styles. "Women today," he said, "arc los ing all the modesty which makes women sacred. These low-necked, V shaped things are disgraceful, immod est and indecent. They should not be worn on Ihe streets or at balls and parties. I think fathers and brothers in general disapprove of tight skirts and low-necked dresses, hut tolerate them because the style demands it. "Women can be just as stylish if they dress nrndcstly. I saw two la dies garbed in skirts that were so tight that one of them could not get on a streetcar. Another fell down." Father Van Antwerp opposed the weiring of such garments to church and to the communion table, although he did not forbid his parishioners to do it. EUGENE PEOPLE WILL BRING THEIR BAND TO HUB CITY ON JULY FOURTH When Chairman J. N. Chambers, of the committee on program and music of the Oregon Electric-celebration, attempted to get ill touch wilh the Eugene band yesterday for the purpose of engaging their services for the Fourth, he was quietly in formed that he did not have the price; that the Eugene Commercial Club hail engaged the band for thai dale, and intended to attend the Albany celebralion in a body, bringing the band wilh them, ami show- .Albany how they do things in Eugene. Arrangements an: being made for special trains to handle the Eugene crowd, and it is safe to say that two thirds of the popiihitioii of that enter prising community will spend the Glorious Fourth in The Hub. Mr. and Mrs. Max Dotighton. who were married ill this city today, left at noon for Portland where they will spend llieir honeymoon.
