No BOARD or TRADE. Citizen inquiries
"whe'e oh where is our board Of trade
gone" In answer to this would say there
Is no board OF trade In Albany and there
has NOT been for eighteen months. Dur
Ing the summer Of 1883, the business men
OF Albany said they did not want board
OF trade, consequently Il quietly ceased TO
exist. During the life OF the board of
trade Il took nine members TO constitute a
/ quorum. The president would call a
neeung.ihe city papers would urge mem
bers 10 attend, the officers Iwould 90 out on
hall would be lighted and ready. the
meeting would consist OF the president and
secretary, representative OF each Of the
city papers, and generally one other man,
sometimes there would be six or seven
present, but not quorum. II the city Il
ready for a board OF trade, II the business
men Will attend and keep one up, then
think II the duty OF aci,lxen' and asevcraI
business men Of this city TO organize a
board Of trade and 20 TO work TO advertise
the advantages Of Albany.
ANOTHER CITIZEN.
WENT HuSrISo. Tuesday noon Etwo
well known Albany men, named + E
Allen and c Z IIaw kins left Albany IN y
skifi on hunting expedition down the
river, and their experience has probably
never been equalled BY Albany nimrods.
On getting ready 10 return. when severa
miles down the river, they found the cur
rent To-, swift, and out Into small lake on
this side. just where they didn't know. In
making an effort 70 get out they, had q
I wading experience up 10 the arms, and
finally giving up getting out evening
coming on, they camped out Ia their wei
/ and cherries condition, and Il was NOT
until 10 O'Clock Oh Wednesday that they
/ reached home, not having anything 10 eat
for nearly twenty four hours. Il Is not
safe 10 ask them any questions.
f, This country has its drawbacks, but
they are nothing 10 compare with what
| Western Oregon had to contend with
last week. The floods there were most
disastrous. The damage 70 the s + rail-
road arc OF such nature that Il will take
several months 10 put the road In running
condition.
Elsewhere we give some items from
the PrinevilIe papers, which somewhat
contradict the above Instead Of taking
several months to get the road In running
condition, cars arc now running through
Western Oregon.

Eugene, Grants Pass ard Corvallis should
begin fight 10 get the state capital away
from Salem, there might be some sreh a
