sitfe as to provide for the needs,
of the city for fifty or one hun
dred years to come. It is the in
tent to lay out a system of parks
and driveways, group the public
buildings on the city square, and
develope civic beauty along
broad lines. No town that ex
pects to reach a population of
2,000 or 15,000 can afford to do
ess than this. Whatever Cor
vallis does should be done in a
big and broad way; if it can't be
done that way, it were better let
alone until such a time as the op
portunity offers. .
Entered at the postoffice at Corvallis,

UNCLE JOHN'S GREAT RACE.
According to tables in the
newspapers, Mr. Rockfeller's re
cent gift of $10,000,000 to the
General Education Fund brought
the total of his benefactions up
to and beyond a $112,000,000,
This does not include ' his early
contributions to Sunday-school
and missionary objects, but only
what he has done in 'com para
tively recent years since he
realy began to throw money a
round. Out of the $115,000,000,
$63,000,000 have gone to , the
. General Education Fund and
$27,000,000 to the. University of
Chicago and the Rush Medical
School.
How is Uncle John getting a-
long in his work of disburse
ment? . Is he getting ahead . or
dropping behind? . . - . -
The most encouraging sign for
him is this dropping of $10,000,
000 at a whack into the. General
Education Fund. We suppose in
the considerable period covered
by the $112,000,000 his income
has gained on him. We suppose
it is $25,000,000 or thereabouts a
year. He cannot keep ahead . of
such an allowance of money as
that by retail processes. He
must be a wholesaler or give up,
Realizing that, he seems to have
established the General Educa
tion Fund as his wholesale de
partment. '
Sad to say, Uncle John and
Andy the Laird seem to have
lot of fun with their money. ' It
is enough to disgust all the phil
osophers of all times down to
Theodore Roosevelt, who writes
in the Outlook "Giva Me Neither
Poverty Nor Riches," to see the
disgraceful amount of enjoy
ment those two gray old birds
get out of their unconscionable
heaps of dross. ,
The Best On Earth.
On Rock Creek 'neath Mary's
Peak,
In a cozy little palace
lived in style and worked awhile
For the city of Corvallis.
For months I toiled, my hands I
soiled,
I burrowed in the ground;
We dug a ditch from whence we
pitched
The boulders big and round.
We dug the clay and roots away,
We brought the water down
From Rock Creek's bed, the foun
tain head
We piped it into town.
From Crystal Springs this pipe
line brings
The purest water ever
No use to look for purer brook,
You'll never fiind it! Never!

A PRIZE FOR BREVITY.
A Lima, Ohio, man has made
some sort of proposition to fur
nish Albany with gas. In de
tailing the news to the Oregon
ian, the Albany Correspondent
says; .
'Such an industry, is badlv
needed here, leading members
of the Commercial Club say, for
the purpose of generating gas
for cooking purposes and also .to
furnish competition in city light-
A 11
ing. AiDany people are now
paying 15 cents per 1000 kilowatt
hours for electric lights, ' while
energy which is generated in
the same plant in this city is
transported by cables 12 miles to
Corvallis and sold to the people
of that city for 10 cents per 1000
kilowatt hours. Corvallis hot
only gets lights one-third cheaper
than Albany gets lights produced
in same plant, but the buildings

' 'At Yale, ' replied Presiden
Hadley to a visiting clergyman
who asked how long it was his
custom to preach, "there is a fix
ed belief that no conversions are
made after the first half hour.'
It is a good thing to know
when to stop talking, either in
the pulpit or on the platform,
It is easier to bore than to please,
as most audiences will testify,
The wonder is that so many
public speakers are so slow of
observation. A good rule might
be that long-winded orators who
delight in their own voices
should be condemned to sit at
one another's feet and endure
thephysicial trials they inflict
Upon others-. Perhaps then thej
would learn - to practice self
restraint as an act of mercy.
Brevity is rarer than wit, for
the professional humorist in
public is likely to be tempted to
length by applause.
