A. HELM., RIGHT KIND OF, TALK. Eds. Gazette: The passing of the equinoxial storm brings us to a realization that spring is again upon us. Now let 11s, citizens ot Corvallis and vicinity, ask ourselves if we intend to allow the spring of 1890 to come and go and still leave upon the people of this state the impression that Corvallis is a "dead town." Such an impression has long fettered the movements of this city towards pro- ess and has caused us to' be left alone; severely alone, by outside clp- ital. But recent immigration and awakening activity throughout the state and particularly the Willamette valley has given an impulse to the pro gress of our city of late and, while the local zeal is at high tide, onr prospects are blooming,' But the reaction is too prone to bring with it long faces, bitter sarcasm, and cheir twin sister inaction. Now, do we propose to allow this reaction to strike us and undo the work already initiated? If we do, all that is necessary is to continue to drift We have been drifting too long already and it is high time we made some ef forts to help ourselves. If we do not start the wheels "of improvement agoing ourselves, can we consistently ask or expect anyone who has nc in teiests involved to do so for us! And, if we should ; summons thu necessary amount of check to. make such re quests, does any persan imagine they would be granted) No; emphatically, no! The very first requisite towards in ducing co-operation between interested and disinterested people in any enter prise, business, or pursuit, is for the interested' persons to show their con fidence in the enterprise How do they manifest that confidence? Is it by loud talking or smooth talking or ' "booming" things which means air castle building, no! The peojjle who have been industrious or keen enough U3 command capital are not to be caught by such chaff. Tbey requiio something more substantial. They want to see a little more local cxpital thrown into sight. Let us apply this to our own selves a little. Last season a strong effort was made to induce the citizens of this conimnity to take stock in a creamery. The name alone is enough to suggest the value to any farming community of such an enterprise. A market would be afforded for our produce, employment would be given to a num ber of persons and we would have a commodity manufactured at home to export in exchange for, What); for gold. And it is this process which leads to wealth. And how did ic fire with the creamery project) Couldn't be done; the community did not be lieve thbt it could be made to succeed and it was not established. An arti ficial ice project was likewise frozen up before it could hardly have an oppor tunity to explain what it proposed to do. While about this lime a building and loan association came along and was covered like flijs on syrup in sum mer time, and with the same result. And our more recent efforts. How have they been seconded by our pro gressive people) Our canal project? Our bridge idea? Our Brownsville rail road extension) Our street railway) How have these projects been received? With a most sublime apathy! with most unprogressive interest! Now, let us state facts.. We have bemi liberal to advertise abroad. We have spent, how much for Ore gonian and West Shore advertisements? More than a thousand dollars. How does the practical manufacturer or bus iness man look at this sort of invest ment? They call it "booming" move ment. Has a "Mississippi bubble" ring to it. Gives a chimical tinge and radiance to our borders but no internal warmth or development. What we must do if we expect to maintain our proper place is to invest in our own town. Not in buying up large tracts of farming land and selling it off'as city property (in the country), but to build substantial business and dwelling houses, .take stock liberally in these public enterprises according to our means and be united in all this. It is of no avail to the rapid advancement of our community for us to lean back on our dignity, or our posteriors, and leave these things to the board of trade. Who is the board of trade anyway and what ia it" mission? It is composed of ourselves; and of its mis sion, hereafter. It will not do to leave these things to this factor because without our individual activity the board of trade is an empty sound. Be ready to support your council when it tries to improve our sanitary condition by constructing sewers and cleaning streets, and remember that to do this takes mpney and the council will have to raise this money and, very likely, in the lorm of a tax; so don't oppose it under penalty of remaining filthy. Be ready to extend fire limits and to build substantial buildings therein.; Sub scribe to the .street railway, and let n all get off of our boxes and put up our, knives and be ready to do our part irv the development of onr city and " the name of Corvallis will be the syn onimot prosperity, of power.
