present his resignation as mayor of
the eitv of- Salem at the aession of
the city council next Monday evening
The resignation is to become effective

This sudden actioa on the part of
the mayor is due to the fact that just
a few dava aire he bought a farm ad
joining Philomath and with the farm,
the crop on an adjacent tract, large
part of which is in hay.
The party from whom he bought the
crop, due to ill health, is obliged to

Since his election as niaylor, Mr.
Albin has given much of his time
to citv affairs; and this has been
especially true where the moral wet

Iu industrial matters, Mr. Albin has
been progressive, supporting the va
cating of certain streets in order to
bring the big paper mill to the city
and lending his aid in adjusting mut
ters for the Valley racking company.1
Mr. Albin says he regrets the neces
sity of leaving ftulem and of especially

and near Ilia relatives, he is acting
for the best of his family.

with his parents. His first business
venture was at the age of 19 when he
bought a meat market in Philomath,
after he had been graduated from the
business college in that city.
