Many Stunts Being Prepared
By Glee Club for Concert
Here on Friday.
University of Oregon, Eugene, Or
Dec. 8. Even the co-eds at the Uni
versity of Oregon have been enlisted
in the work of making properties fur
the Glee Club which gives its annual
concert in Albany next Friday.
There are little doll-like effects
which are being artistically dressed in
Oregon colors to be use in one of the
stunts of Professor Oreonus, "the
world-renowned ventriloquist." Wigs,
a Prince Albert coat, face grease, a
collapseablc table, a fat man's dress, a
toot hall, and a too thai f suit arc some
of the articles which have been de
manded o fthe manager during the
last week.
In addition to the sketches of col
ego life and stunts for which the
men have been preparing the main
brand of the events programmed is
that of, up-to-date music, full of life.
The boys have been practicing on
their songs since the beginning of the
semester in September and have them
learned. Director Bowman feels that
he has a well balanced blub and ex
pects that the rendition of the songs
will be most meritorious.
The addition of Bob Fariss to the

TRACKLAYING IS BEGUN ON
ALBANY-CORVALLIS LINK
Operations Commenced Last
- Week at Gray Station, Six
Miles South of Albany.
Tracklaying on the Albany-Corval-lis
link of the Oregon Electric rail
way was commenced last week and is
progressing rapidly with indications
of being completed shortly after the
first of the year. The tracklaying
operations were begun at Gray sta
tion, formerly Blevins, and about a
half a mile a day is being laid.
Thirty-one new passenger coaches
which have been ordered by the Ore
gon Electric railway for use on its
lines in the Willamette Valley will ar
rive in Portland about February 1st
and will be placed in service at once.
On next Sunday a new schedule will
go into effect on the Oregon Electric,
adding another train between Albany
and Portland, but leaving the same
number of trains between this city
and Eugene,
The new schedule will be so arrang
ed that the people of Junction City
and llarrisburg and the other local
points can come to this city to trade
and have several hours to spend in
this city. The new train between this
city and Portland will probably be
known as.Nos. 13 and 14.

now operating its freight trains
through the valley with electric mo
tors instead of steam engines. A
through freight leaves Portland every
night at 8 o clock, arriving at Albany
