Albany Democrat from Albany, Oregon • Page 4

TELEGRAPHIC MISFITS. SC10 Saturday Night Thoughts. This week has seen the lait of the ev RETURNED. The Hewitts and Winns From the East. The Depot.

The effort to secure a change in the depot arrangement at Albany has been an interesting one. The Democrat for a good many years has been agitating the matter, and with other Albany people rejoices at the favorable termination of it. It is probable that the Company would have made the change any way, but the city has waited so long and the officials of the Company were so unsatisfactory in the information they gave it was thought action was necessary. The testimony ef the head officials themselves showed that the demand for a change was a just one, the arrange ment being entirely different from the idence in the long-drawn out Haywood case, the first of several like castfs. It will take seveal more days fir the arguments, making altogether many weeks of much' legal agony.

It is modern jurisprudence, and, perhaps the object in view justifies it, but one can hardly figure out why so much time is necessary. The Democrat expects as it has right along that the verdict will be either acquittal or a disagreement, probably the latter, it being very doubtfu1 if twelve men can be secured to agree on a case of the character of this one. San Francisco has been out in the open as much as usual, but a fraud case is dragging along down there. One thing has been a new mayor during the week. The temporary ones had been makeshifts, fellows not as fit for mayor as a yellow cat.

A startling item from back east is that in Pittsburg many women are mortgaging their homes in order to secure automobiles and be in the swim socially, the auto having taken a prominent place in 1907 social doings. Verily vanity hasn't ceased to rule the world. The fool killer would have his hands full if he struck Pittsburg and a few other cities. It is a splendid thing to enjoy these modern institutions when you have the money, but woe to the man or woman who mortgages property and soul for social swim. A Linn county man has observed that Linn county is mentioned in the Port land papers more than any other county away.

Well, why not, it is central, important and the Demosrat is published in it, a paper that gives readable news in short paragraphs easily seen and understood. Dozens of people have asked the nRMrifnAii man urhnf ha tMnlrg nf another paper in the same field, and no free country and men have 'a right to publish papers at any hour of the day they please. The Democrat man has always made it a polic- to run his own h0ino. iw nthora tn rtn tho same. He saws wood and does the best he knows how to give the news of the 7 without any quarrels with neighbors! and is willing to abide by the result.

It has always been the ambition of the Democrat to cast an influence for not onlv the nroeress of Albanv. but for the betterment of its people and its regular policy of the road for having its depots on the town side. The change should have been made years ago, and Albany has not been treated very well in permitting the old arrange ment to go so long. Albany has become a great distributing center, many people take the cars here, and the city is entitled to accommodations in keep ing with the business of the town, ana, a pleasant feature of the situation is the fact that the railroad officials them' Bel res appreciate this fact and promise to do the right thing by the city. The Southern Pacific has done a big thing for this valley as a developer, and the Democrat hopes now that this matter has been settled Albany and the officials will be on pleasant terms, as the people and the railroads should be.

But wo had some rights, knew it, and have been flatfooted and emphatic in our efforts to secure them. Has Beens. Bob Fitzsimmons.once the best fighter in the world this week was knocked out easily by a man who is not much of a fighter. What did it? Fitzsimmons is about forty, an age when a it an ought to be in his prime for fighting or anything else, so it cou'd not have been his age alone. The real reason is that he has done what all prize fighters have done, not taken care of himself.

He lias lived a fast life. A man can't drink and be good for anything physically. Fitzsimmons has drunk a good deal less than most prize fighters and has taken better care of himself, but nevertheless the general tenor of his life has been loose and fast. The influences of prize fighting are all that way. It has become a saloon affair as shown by the accounts of it in the papers, and the results speak for themselves.

rightly conducted, is a fine oxorciso, and young men do well to know something about it, but no one should ever allow themselves to get under the influences which will eventually wrecks their lives, and before their day make them Has Beens.

Some Japs have been discovered drilling down at Poriland. Awful. For a fact it has been much cooler since Fairbanks struck the Northwest. Every suspicious movement of a Jap will be construed to be preparation for war. Corvallis has the right idea, that of starting its railroad and then blowing about it.

Any kind of a C. E. extension will be a valley booster, including a good one for Albany. The live, up-to-date merchants advertise in the Democrat. The othe are well, you know.

Only about a dozen N. G. boys will go from Albany to Roseburg, that being all who ca be mustered in for the trip. Nearly all the bovs are as busy as bees working at different things. Seventy Eugene merchants have ordered their freight routed from the past over other than Harriman routes.

Mr. Harriman will get a short haul anyway. The R. R. Commission had hardly left before the S.

Mr. Swank is engaged in the loading of lumber on the cars for both the Thomas Creek Lumber company and theTrappist Father's mills at Scio and Munkers.

There has been much speculation a-mong some of our horticulturists in re gard to the results accomplished by spraying fruit trees ana to snow the a-mount of good that is really accomplished we point to the old orchard of Thomas (tlaie and son of Nor'h Albany. This orchard was covered with moss and in uch a condition that it seemed nothing could be done but to root up and eradi oate the trees. It was decided that spraying would be tried, and within four years the moss had disappeared and the trees looked as fresh and smooth as a new ortfhurd. Judge and Mrs. H.

Bushnell is obtaining a splendid reputation in this work. The Jamestown exposition is much like that at the Lewis and Clark fair so far as the exhibits are concerned, but entirely incomplete. New York is a marvel in density. The Hudson river ride past historical points was greatly enjoyed, as well as the Niagara visit, where the Judge was also just ten years before.

Of course they are glad to be back in Albany. Mr. and Mrs. Winn and son visited with her folks in Ohio, then went down to Jamestown, Philadelphia, Washington, New York and up into Vermont where they were the guests of Ezra M.
