ALL FOR PROGRESS.
The sentiment of Corvallis is
all in favor of improvements.
Some prefer sewers first, others
name paving as their first
thought, while others demand
good walks and removal of old
shacks from the business portion
of the city. Of many people who
have expressed themselves in the
Gazette-Times recently, notpne
has been what might be called
"ultra-conservative;" all express
an enthusiastic desire to see this
little city assume a forward place
in the list of progressive cities.
Every man insists that Corvallis
should make decided changes of
one sort or another for the bet
terment of the appearance of the
city and increase of comfort for
its citizens. - '
All of which is good even
better than that. With everyone
in favor of improvements, im
provements are bound to come,
and shortly. Each person can
not expect to have his particular
wish carried out first, but the
sentiment generally is so strong
that each person may hope to see
his desire carried out before any
great lapse of time. ' The only
thing necessary to keep such a
splendid spirit is for the officials
to exercise reasonable care, see
that the people get the worth of
money spent in improvements
and as far as possible take the
public into their confidence at all
times.
Corvallis can be made the most
beautiful smaller city in Oregon
for less money than it will take
to make other towns even pass
ingly attractive. Corvallis has
no terrific hills to reduce, no
great ravines to fill up, and yet
has an excellent drainage. It
has the mountains at the rear to
lend a charming background and
the beautiful Willamette to the
eastward which can, and sooner
or later will, be utilized as an im
portant feature of the city's
beautification. AlreadjAit has
attractive homes and yards and
needs now but good sidewalks
and substantial, cleanly streets.
When the city has two or three
parks, a boulevard north and
east of the city along the river
bank, and Mary's river from the
mouth to a point a mile or two
toward the source made the at
tractive stream it could be, Cor
vallis will be a beauty. ' And that
time will come within the time
of many persons past ' maturity
now. Many here today will see
Corvallis when the college
grounds are the very heart of the
. city, and the postoffice a hand
some government building locat
ed a block or two back from Sec
ond street. They will ride on
streetcars" circling this city and
will take the same cars to some
near mountain resort west 01
this city. This resort will be
such an apparent necessity before
very many years that moneyed
men will provide it. And Cor
vallis will have a new railroad
station (perhaps near the end of
Madison street if recent talk may
be accepted as a guide.)
Corvallis is growing (the de
mand for houses is far greater
than the supply) and it will con
tinue to grow. The spirit that
is manifest now will increase
rather than lessen, and this spirit
will make Corvallis a beautiful
city before' many years. Once
improvements are well under j
way, the people may be relied
upon to do the rest. The Cor
vallis people are a liberal, a gen
erous people, 'filled with pride, a
little conservative in instances,
but withal a splendid people who
enjoy life and believe in having
the best . there is. They are
aroused now and will not only
keep up with the procession, but
travel a little ahead. There is a
good spirit here.

The poorest producer in his herd
is one whose milk yielded over
420 pounds of butter fat in a
year and the highest cow's re
cord in this particular was over
1 596 pounds. It is predicted that
there will be some spirited bio
ding by persons anxious to be
come the owners of such high-
class cows. Salem Statesman.

Salem has an ordinance provid
ing that the city shall not have
more than one saloon for each
1000 inhabitants, taking the last
governmental census as a basis.
On this ground. Mayor Rodgers
has refused to approve the bond
of a saloonkeeper to whom the
council granted a license in disre
gard of the ordinance referred to.
Salem was credited with less
than 5000 population in 1900, but
has almost 15, 000 today.
