C. aE. RA1LWAYWILL
BE ELECTRIFIED
Work Will Begin on Albany and
Corvallis Line Within the
Next Few Months.
REGULAR SERVICE WILL BE
MAINTAINED TO CORVALLIS
Construction Work to Begin
Following Completion of
Corvallis-Monroe Link.
Continued from Saturday, October 12.
That the Corvallis & Eastern rail
way between this city and Corvallis
will be electrified immediately upon
the completion of the Corvallis-Monroe
extension of the Portland, Eu
gene & Eastern, was the information
given the Democrat representative
this afternoon from an authoritative
source. The work on the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern between Corvallis
and Eugene is progressing rapidly in
an effort to have the line completed
before the bad weather begins and as
soon as that work has been finished,
the big crew of men now engaged on
that line will be placed at work be
tween this city and Corvallis placing
the line in shape for electrification.
It will not be a great task to elec
trify this road for all that will be
necessary will be the construction of
substations, trolley poles and wires
and a small amount of ballasting. It
is expected to have electric trains in
operation between this city and Cor
vallis shortly after the first of the
year.
The Southern Pacific company
which owns the Corvallis & Eastern
has had the plan of electrifying this
road in mind for some time but the
news that the work was going to be
actually done was not made known
until today. The decision of the par
ent road to electrify the Corvallis &
Eastern was said to have been made
after a careful investigation of traffic
conditions in this part of the Wil
lamette Valley and to compete with
the Oregon Electric which is now en
gaged in building an interurban line
from Albany to Corvallis. It is also
said to be the plan of the Southern
Pacific to maintain a regular schedule
betwciMi Albany and Corvallis follow
ing the electrification of the line and
that several trains a day in each direc
tion will be operated.

In commenting upon the burial of
the late Jeremiah K. Ream of this
city the Oregonian recently contam
ed the following editorial:
"Lik? the late Jeremiah R. Ream,
of Albany, the people who prefer to
have their eaithly remains cremited
usually be'oiig to the more intlellgeut
ci.'sses. They have read and tho ight
enough to overcome the primitive
superstitions which control the mul
titude. Cremation is steadily making
headway. Educated clergymen have
almost ceased to condemn it. since the
Scriptures, properly understood, do
i t support their opposition, while its
beauty and hygienic merits appeal
powerfully to the thinking world."

10 REPAIR BRIDGE
Superintendent D.W.Campbell
Inspects Approach of the
Structure Today.
ARCH OF STEEL WILL TAKE
PLACE OF WOOD ON FIRST ST.
Paving of Main Thoroughfare
Makes Improvement of the
Bridge Necessary.
D. W. Campbell, general superin
tendent of the Southern Pacific rail
way, arrived in Albany this afternoon
in his private car "California" and is
conferring with Mayor Gilbert rela
tive to the new steel arch which his
company is going to install in the
Corvallis & Eastern railroad bridge
where it crosses Eirst street on La
fayette. Mr. Campbell was at Philomath
this morning investigating the recent
wreck of the Albany-Philomath pas
senger train near that city which oc
curred last Saturday and fortunately
resulted in none being injured, al
though the engine and coach were
ditched.
The railroad bridge at this city
which is constructed of wood is sup
ported by wooden piers and at the
point where it crosses Eirst street,
two of these piers or uprights arc in
the street and when the paving opera
tions were begun in that part of the
city, the city officials decided to have
them removed. The matter was dis
cussed with the railway officials with
the result that about forty feet of the
approaeii to the drawbridge will be
taken out and replaced by steel im
mediately, a gang of men in the em
ploy of the Southern Pacific having
arrived here this morning for that
purpose. The old wooden piers are
being taken out now and the work of
putting in the steel arch will begin
immediately upon the arrival of the
steel at this city which will be in the
course of a few day s.

'ir Poon Chew, a noted Chinese
scholar, editor an dorator, will lecture
Albany tomorrow evemni; at o
o'clock at the hirst Presbyterian
church on 1 he New China and the
Pacific Coast."
Dr. Chew was closely identified
with the recent rebellion and the es
tablishment of the Chinese republic
and is at present editor of the leading
Chinese newspaper at ban rraucisco.
Dr. Chew spoke yesterday in Portland
at two of the largest churches in the
metropolis and while in (hat city was
the distinguished guest of the Rotary
Club and the Portland Ad. Club.
He is speaking in Seattle today and
will return to Portland tonight where
he will be the guest of honor at a
banquet to be givm by the Portland
commercial club. His addresses at
both the churches and the Y. M. C.
A. in Portland were greeted by large
crowds who thoroughly appreciated
his eloquent talks.
lie was given several columns in
the Portland newspapers. Tuesday
was the only available date that could
be secured for Dr. Chew's appearance
here and it is a rare opportunity for
the people of Albany to hear such an
eloquent authority on the new world
outlook. The lecture is free to every
one and the speaker shonhl be greet
ed by a large crow d.
Following is part of his lecture in
Portland yesterday:
"It is hard to realize that China fur
nishes big opportunities for trade,"
said Dr. Chew, "but the opportunities
are there. They have been brought
about by the wonderful transforma
tion which has taken place in the mi
lion within the last year. China looks
to the United States for friendship,
especially under the new government.
It was the Americanization of Chin
ese leaders that brought about the
great change in conditions in China
to a large extent. For this reason the
Chinese people are greatly indebted
to the United Stales and to her peo
ple. "The only unfortunate thing is that
the merchants of tin's country are
slow to awaken to their opportuni
ties. China would rather trade with
the United Slates and Germany than
with any of the other countries, yet it
seems that the merchants of these na
lions and especially of the United
Slates do not cuter tlu1 field for the
business as they should do. China
has to depend upon other nations be
cause her production is less than the
consumption. The merchants of this
country should investigate the mar
ket conditions and opportunities.
"There has been an astonishing
transformation in China in the last
year. The government is new, the
people are new, the customs are new
and the prosperity is new. Within 15
years you will seen an entirely differ
ent race of people in China. The
Knglish language is gaining rapidly in
usage in the new nat ion. It is now
possible to travel into the interior
wit bout speaking Chinese. Kver.y
where you will find . Chinese who
speak Knglish. When I was in orth
eru China recently I met people
whose dialect in Chinese wag tm dif
ferent from my own that I could not
-peak well with thein. Wo ami ike
Knglish instead of Chinese. i;,very
where you will find Chinese who
have been educated abroad.
