ALBANY PEOPLE SHOULD
GO TO HARhiSBURG FRIDAY
Delegation of Fifty Desired
That a Special Car and Low
Rate May be Secured.
The excursion committee of the
local Commercial Club met at 5
o'clock last evening to discuss plans
for the trip to Harrisburg Friday
and today are visiting the business
houses to ascertain as near as possi
ble just how many will go, it being
the plan of the committee to secure a
crowd large enough to get a special
car to that city.
Albany was represented at the Po
tato Fair last year by a large crowd of
its citizens and should be equally as
well represented this year and every
body who can possibly go should no
tify Manager Stewart of the Commer
cial Club at once, for this city should
send a delegation of not less than 50
and as many more as possible.
If 50 people will go a special car
and a low rate can be secured and the
committee desires to have a large
enough crowd to justify it in ordering
a special car.
The Potato Fair at Harisburg is the
leading event at that city each year
and is growing larger annually. The
people of that progressive city have
co-operated with Albany in the vari
ous events each year here and local
people should reciprocate by attend
ing their show, which will be better
this year than any previous event at
that place.
Let everybody get in the game and
go to Harrisburg Friday. Notify the
Commercial Club at once that you are
going .

VANDERPOOL APPLE TO BE
EXHIBITED AT APPLE SHOW
Dave Vanderpool Will Exhibit
Several Boxes of This Kind
from Original Tree.
The sixth annual Albany Apple
Show which will be held at the ar
mory in this city on November 14 and
15 promises to be the most successful
ever held in this city and will be one
of the leading attractions of the Win
ter in the Willamette valley. The
exhibits will be large and of a greater
variety than ever before and present
indications point to a record breaking
attendance.

will be on display at the coming show
will be several boxes of the famous
Vanderpool apples which will be
brought to this city by Dave Vander
pool, a well known apple grower and
farmer residing 7 miles northwest of
Albany near Wells.
The Vanderpool apple is a splendid
keeper, good size and color, ami of
excellent flavor. The Vanderpool ap
ples originally grew on a tree which
grew voluntarily on the farm of Dave
Vanderpool and the apples to be ex
ibited at the show by him will be
from the original tree.
The apple is rapidly becoming pop
ular with growers in various parts of

growers of this variety, with which
they have been unusually successful.

bany" as they have been named. This
apple was originated by Davcid Jun
kin of Oakville and was later sold to

product for grafting purposes.
This tree is a most peculiar one
owing to the fact that it bears mature
fruit and blossoms at the same time
and has been greatly admired by those
who have seen it.
Besides these two varieties of ap
ples there will also be large exhibits
at the fair of Mammoth Black Twigs,
Baldwins, Spitzenbergers. Wagencrs,
Jonathans, Grimes' Golden, Yellow
Ncwtons, Wolf River, Canada Reds.

While rounding the turn west of

Irom the depot, last Saturday after
noon, (he out bound train struck a
dray belonging to a drayman of Al
bany, says the Lebanon Kxpress. The
vehicle, containing a piano belonging
to Banker S. C. Stewart, was hurled
to the right of the track and upset,
and the team, tearing loose, ran east
and into a woven-wire fence. One?
animal was thrown by the impact and
both became so entangled in the har
ness that they were unable to run
farther. The driver was not severe
ly injured on account of striking in
the soft mud. Several spokes were
broken and a rear wheel of the dray
"dished." We have not learned the
extent of the injuries to the piano.
That further damage was not done i
due to the fact th:it the train had not
yet gained its full speed.
