FOR ANNEXATION
Gazette-Times: Well, as I
have read all the items and heard
several arguments on the elec
tion of the 18th, I have thoroughly
changed my mind from what it
was at first. I see it is going to
benefit everybody, as. we are in
tending to put in a sewer. The
sewer will not cost any ' body a
great deal and it will sure '. help
to pake Corvallis beautiful. As
we have a man for mayor now
that intends to improve the city
and treat everybody alike the
people want to stand by him.
. If there is any improvement
that will help the town let's have
it. : One man can not rln it nil en
let every. one ; . help. : Just look
what has been done at the college.
Look at the buildings that have
been built: and . the residences
that have . been built . the last
two years so. Let us all help
and keep the town a buildinsr.
I, myself, have built nine houses
m Job's and Wilkins r addition
this year and expect to build
that many more next.year, I am
doing my part to make Job's ad
dition grow. So let us all go to
morrow and vote YES and help
to make Corvallis a 10, 000 popu
lation by 1913.. We can do it if
we all try.
