would be a very just one in some eases
BoAED oE Trade MEETISo.-Mr w II
Seaver, representing the Salem Board OF
Trade, met few members OF the Albany
Board of Trade last Tuesday. The meet
ing was adjourned until Saturday even
ing when a committee from Salem will
meet with the Board In the Council
chamber and consider the matter Of ad-
vertlsing the Valley. A good scheme for
the Board now would be to send man
10 Portland, for at least few months. 10
meet the thousands OF immigrants con-
stantly arriving there. There Is first
class man in Albany for the purpose, one
thoroughly reliable, and il is 10 be hoped
shmething will he done in the matter

over 5000 OF these, weighing IS pounds,

will prove OF great advantage TO Albany.
II is nothing less than new system Of
water works. The plan proposed IL to
run large pipe from Waterloo to this
city, probably a II inch pipe, and fur
nish cheap water for residence and lawn
purposes. The fall from Waterloo IL $40
feet, so that an immense force could lie
secured for fire purposes as well. The
distance by bee line is about sixteen
miles. The cost wOnld not be great, no
that the plan Is entirely feasible.
0SA ATRAm.-Judge Shaw and the coun-
ty commissioners started for Gatesyille
last night TO meet the officials Of the
railroad company and make arrange
ments for the opening of the Mimic trail,
which has been usurped 10 some extent
by the railroad company. II IL believed
that friendly settlement Of the matter
can be reached. The people up there
may rest assured that Judge Shaw and
our commissioners win do all IN their
power 10 restore their rights, and COM
pell the corporations to respect the laws
OF the state.--Journal.
CRoP PRogPEcrs. An Albany man who
has been out through the country, says
fall wheat looks fine but spring wheat
is an uncertain quantity. He saw farm
ers narrowing where the dust was so
thick one could hardly see the outfit.
Farmers who were prompt, though, got
their spring wheat in on time. Some Of
it has failed 70 appear but it is looked
for during the month. Apple, pear, cher
ry and prune trees are all right and prom
ise a bountiful harvest peach trees,
though, were considerably injured and
we will probably have TO buy Southern
Oregon and California peaches, ahem.
FoUSD GUmTY.-Oscar and boy Cole,
who were arrested last week for assault
on Angus GRAIN. at MiIlers, were tried
before Justice Humphrey and jury, the
trial eliciting considerable interest. o II
Irvine appeared for the state and G. w
Wright Tor the defense. After being out
! only short time the jury brought in a
verdict Of guilty and the justice fined the
defendants $40 apiece and costs, the costs
alone amounting to 1905.

an eye TO the beauty, as well as TO the
substantial upbuilding Of the city, sug.

cement walk be built around It. A sug-
gestiOn worthy Of consideration. These
walks are being built very cheap nov
and the value to the city and county q
such an improvement would be far above
the cost. At the same time Cne arount
