HELD UVE MEETIN6
Appropriation of $500,000 Is
Discussed By Club Members
and Legislators.
DRAINAGE BILL WILL BE
DRAFTED BY COMMITTEE
Matter of Lighting Steel Bridge
Subject of Discussion With
County Court.
That Orepron should be well repre
sented at the Panama-Pacific Inter
national Exposition to be held in San
Francisco in 1915, was the concensus
of opinion at the regular meeting of
the Albany Commercial Club which
was held last evening and a lively dis
cussion followed the reading of the
resolutions which were submitted by
Manager Stewart of the Commercial
Club which read as follows:
"Whereas, The government of the
United States has announced that the
Panama Canal is about to be com
pleted and opened to the commerce
and navies of the world; and
"Whereas, The congress of the
United States has designated the city
of San Francisco as the place for the
holding of a great international cel
ebration in honor of the event and
has invited all of the nations of the
world to participate, and .
"Whereas, The pride of our Nation
in this great achievement can only be
properly expressed through the par
ticipation of all of the states of our
Union; now therefore
"Be It Resolved, That our senators
and representatives in the state legis
lature be earnestly requested to sup
port such legislation as will insure the
participation of the state of Oregon at
the Panama-Pacific International Ex
position in a manner befitting its im
portance and dignity in the siterhood
of states. . . ,
The matter of an appropriation ot
$500,000 from the state legislature for
use by the state of Oregon at the ex
position was discussed at length by
Manager Stewart of the Commercial
Club, Senator M. A. Miller of Leb
anon, Representatives L. G. Lewell
ing of Albany and Porter of Halsey,
F. P. Nutting, F. M. French, J. S.
Van Winkle and F. J. Fletcher.
The concensus of opinion in regard
to the appropriation by those present
at last night's meeting was to the ef
fect that the appropriation should be
made for the reason that the state of
Oregon was given the first chance to
break ground at the exposition site in
San Francisco and that this state had
also been allowed to pick its building
site first and that the state was allow
ed to take its choice of sites.
Some of those present were inclined
to think that an appropriation of
$500,000 was too much and that half
that amount would be. sufficient while
others thought that this state should
be well represented at the exposition,
believing that more new people will
be attracted to this state through the
exposition than by any other means.
L. G. Lewelling, one of Linn coun
ty's representatives-elect to the state
legislature, was inclined to believe
that the appropriation required was
too large and expressed doubts as to
whether the people of the state would
be in favor of so large an appropria
tion. Mr. Lewelling believes in abid
ing by the wishes of the majority of
the people of the state and if they
want that amount voted, it will be
satisfactory with him. He had previ
ously promised to take the matter of
this appropriation up with the Linn
county Business Council and will get
into communication with each subor
dinate grange in the county and have
them discuss the matter in an en
deavor to ascertain how they stand on
the matter.
After much discusion the resolu
tions were passed as read by Mr.
Stewart. The matter of a new drain
age bill to be drawn up and submit
ted to the state legislature was dis
cussed for some time by the mem
bers of the Commercial Club, the
representatives to the legislature, and
the county court representatives in at
tendance and as a bill of this nature
was favored, a committee consisting
of L. G. Lewelling, H. H. Hewitt, L.
L. Swan and J. N. Duncan were ap
nointed to nreDare the bill.
Manager Stewart announced that
E. Al. underwood, cnairman ot tne
executive committee of the Portland
Association of Credit Men who had
been invited to address the club last
evening, was unable to be here and
would be secured for an address on
"Fire Protection" later.
The committee consisting of F. M.
French, D. O. Woodworth, G. E.
Sanders, J. C. Holbrook, and A. C.
Schmitt who were recently appointed
by the club to confer with the county
court in regard to naving ine sieci
hridire lighted, reported that they had
conferred with court in regard to the
matter and County Judge Duncan and
Commissioner T. J. Butler who were
in attendance at the meeting reported
that the matter was being considered
but that no agreement had been reach
ed yet with the Oregon fowcr com
oanv.
The Commercial Club and business
men have expressed themselves as
being in favor of having the bridge
better lighted and believe that the
bridge should be lighted from one end
to the other free of charge by the
Oregon Power company. The Ore
gon Power company has three cables
each carrying ten iboiiand volts of
electricity on the bridge and have
never been charged for the privilege
of using the bridge as a means of
carrying their lines to the other side
ol the river. In return for this priv-

'MARRY AT TWENTY-FIVE, GET
NURSE FOR THE BABIES'
Mrs. Belmont Tells Suffragists
That's Way to Live; "Not for
Me, Says Pretty Maid. '
New York, Dec. 7. Tn addressing
the members of the Junior Political
Equality League at their first meet
ing today, Airs. O. H. P. Belmont
told them that twenty-five was the
proper marriage age and that after
marriage the wife should keep right
on with her work and hire somebody
to care for the babies.
The association was formed by Miss
Eugenia McKcnzie, a Parkhurst suf
fragette recently from London, and is
composed of girls from 16 to 18 years
of age.
Mrs. Belmont had hardly launched
into her address and had just told the
girls about the. marrying age when
one of them piped up with:
"But that's entirely too long to
wait. And besides, if a girl marries,
shouldn't she stay home and keep
house and not "
"Not at all," interposed Mrs. Bel
mont hastily. "When you marry keep
right on .with your work. Then you
will have enough money to hire a
cook and your home will be happier."
"How about the babies?" chirped a
dark-eyed, black-haired girl in the
front row. "Ought not a girl stay at
home aud care for the children?"
"Certainly not 'emphatically an
swered Mrs. Belmont. A young
mother would be very little use to a
baby. It is better to hire an older
and more experienced person who
knows how to take care of children."
"Oh. I don't think that's an ideal
way to live," said the brunette, rather
scornfully.
"It may not be ideal," said Mrs.
Belmont, "but it's practical. A wife
should have an independent purse
and should not have to go to her hus
band for nionev."
"Well, when I marry," resumed the
dark-haired one, I want my husband
to give me everything. J don t want
to have to work for the money.
"If you can find that kind of
man, go ahead," advised Mrs. Hel-
TfK'ii t and the meeting adjourned.

Fred F'ollctt of CorvallW returned
home this morning after spending last

Y.M. C A. DIRECTORS
MET AT ALCO CLUB
Appointed Committee to Make
Canvass of the City Next
Friday For Subscriptions.
WORK OF REMODELING ALCO
CLUB TO BEGIN IMMEDIATELY
Delos Foster of Kellogg, Idaho
Accepts Offer to Become
General Secretary.
The board of directors of the newly
organized Young Men's Christian As
sociation of this city met last even
ing at the Alco Club to make further
arrangements for the work that is to
be carried on.
It was decided last evening to make
a canvass of this city next hriday for
funds for the new institution and a
committee consisting of Messrs. A. C.
Schmitt, L. E. Hamilton, W. A. East
burn, J. A. Howard, J. L. Tomlinson
and C, C. Bryant were appointed as a
finance committee to secure funds on
that day. The committee will be as
sisted in the work of canvassing the
city next Friday by Mr. Wright, the
assistant secretary of the state asso
ciation who will arrive here Thursday
evening.
It is the aim of the finance commit
tec to raise $2000 and every effort will
be made to secure this amount imme
diately so that the work can proceed
without interruption. A portion of
this amount will be spent in taking
over the property of the Alco Club,
another portion for renovating the
building and the remainder to guar
antee the current expense for the
year's work.
Through the generosity of the Alco
Club the Y. M. C. A. association is
able to begin work without delay
such as usually accompanies the start
ing of such enterprises and local peo
ple should appreciate this fact and
make their donations liberal. The as
sociation proposes to carry on all
branches of the work including so
cial, athletic, educational, and relig
ious divisions.
The men's and boys' departments
of the association will be kept sep
arate, and the latest ventilated steel
locker3 and fixtures will be installed.
As soon as the funds have been secur
ed the transfer of the Alcq Club piop
erty to the association will be ef
fected and the club rooms closed
while the work of renovating the
building is being accomplished. It is
thought that the work will all be
completed in time for the association
to begin active work shortly after the
tirst ot tne new year.
Word was received today from Mr.
Delos Foster, assistant secretary of
the Kellotf. Idaho, association to the
effect that he had accepted the offer
made to him by local men to become
the tzcncral secretary of the new as
sociation in this citv and that he will
arrive here soon to begin his duties.
Mr. roster was at one time a student
at Albany College and later at Stan-
lord university. Me lias been identi
fied in the association work at Wat-
sonvillc, California and at Boise,
Idaho, and has for some time been the
assistant secretary of lhe Kellogg,
Idaho, association, which is a largo
and prosperous institution.
Mr. roster will come to Hits city
with the highest recommendations
and will undoubtedly meet with the
approval of the citizens of Albany.
