The Valley Kecord, Ashland,
of August 4th, comes to this
office a 24-page illustrated edi
tion, printed on good paper and
containing: about 100 cuts of
local' business houses, street
scenes, mountain views, and a
fine map of - Jackson county.
Descriptive matter is well put
up, and as an advertisement of
industrial conditions and oppor
tunities in about Ashland the
edition is very creditable.
Kaiser is a rustler and in this
latest work shows considerable
enterprise.
COUNCIL IS AWAKE
That the city council proposes
to protect the people of this city
in their improvements is eviden
' ted by the refusal to permit' a
certain cement walk contractor
to lay any more walk. A num
ber of walks laid in this city in
recent months are very poorly
constructed and already are un
sightly. The work is of the
''slip-shod" kind and gives evi
dence that it will not long with
stand the elements or usage.
The officials called the attention
of the contractor to his unsatis
factory work and finally refused
to grant him a permit to lay any
more walk.
This is exactly as it should be.
Any man taking contracts at such
a price that he can net do a first-
class piece of work should be put
out of business before he fails,
. and the few people who are will
ing to put up with cheap, low
grade wonc, in order to save a
penny temporarily, should be
forced to meet a standard that is
acceptable. The whole people
are interested in these cement
walks and no individual property
owner nas a ngnt to put in a
cheap and worthless walk.
It is the intent of the counci
to revise the specifications for
cement walk, and to employ a
supervisor who will give all his
time to seeing that the specifica
tions are carried out strictly.
This will enable the people to get
the worth of their money and
Will result in sightly walks. Be
it said to the -credit of some of
the contractors they are now lay
ing some very fine walks.
SUCH IS FAME.

tion or two of railing it no longer
serves a purpose and is extreme
ly unsightly. It tells a. story of
carelessness- or ignorance, tex
treme poverty or stinginess, lazi
ness or general cussedness. It's
bjound to be one of these. There
area number of fences in this
city in such a condition, even
worse. Would it not be a splen
did thing for some member" of
the family to remove that tumble-down
fence and use it for
kindling wood? Fences are relics
of the days when cattle and other
animals were permitted to roam
the streets, and were a necessity.
In towns the size of Corvallis
they are not a necessity, and no
man with any sense of the artis
tic will say that .a long row of
pickets, posts and stringers, even
1 s 1 1 '
wnen in nrst-ciass condition, is
sightly. When permitted to rot
down fences get into an extreme-
y bad condition. Pride should
cause any family to remove any
fence that it can not or does not
desire to keep in good condition.

Jonathan Bourne, the million
aire senator from Oregon is, said
to be the closest man to President
Taft, but that he never talks
business with the president.
Bourne is a bachelor, thin.
smooth-faced and wrinkled, is a
lawyer by profession, a million
aire by heredity and through
good investments, and is heavily
interested in lumber in his na
tive state and cotton mills- in
Massachusetts. He lives at
Stoneleigh Court, the swellest
apartment house in Washington,
and is chiefly famed for giving
awajrthe most cigars of any man
in congress. . His cigars "are both
the -longest and the shortest
. known to the trade. Sometimes
he will meet you and fish out a
smoke that looks like a fence rail.
Meet him again, in ten minutes
perhaps, and he'll hand you a ci
gar that is about the size of a
quill tooth pick. , Then again he
will thrust upon you one of each

A costly house, a yard foun
tain, cement walks inside, and a
whole lot of money, m is not
wholly essential in making an
attractive residence property.
The average run of people are
ever pleased to look at elegant
p.operties,sbut will more often
bestow warmest praise on 'the
ess pretentious place well-kept,
n towns this size it is unreason
aoie to expect to nnd many
mansions," but where lawns,
nowers ana trees grow with so
ittle care, it is but fair to ex
pect most properties to have a
pleasing appearance.
Take W. H. Savage's place at
the corner of 8th . and Jackson.
The house there isa two-story
structure not" built in the pre
vailing style, but the property is
good to look at. Anyone pass
ing would notice the place ;i par
ticularly. and y exclaim within
nimseit : i ms man . has an ene-
getic wife filled with pride, or a
man wno taices Keen delignt m
his surroundings." Mr. Savage
has two lots there and those two
lots are not covered with "tal
uncut." At the rear are three
or four apple trees, and in front
tnere is a chestnut and an orna
mental tree or two, but most of
the lawn is left open and is cared
for properly. There isn't much
blue grass there, but the lawn is
trimmed well, and always about
the edges. Ivy climbs the south
side of the house, and very fine
roses blossom on each side.
Pansies and sweet pea beds are
beautiful because never neglect
ed. And Savage has the right
idea about the hedge fence.
His residence is set far back and
the hedge is kept trimmed low
and is never ragged, so that the
structure as viewed by the ...pas
serby has a setting- of green
lawn , that is absolutely necessary
to the best appearance of any
house. If every residence prop
erty in the city, large or small,
out-of -style or up-to-date, were
kept as the. Savage property, the
property value of the city would
increase a third or a half within
a year. Corvallis would be more
beautiful than any city on the
coast and it could be made thatT
Mr. Savage's property does not
cost him much money and he
doesn't work . at it before day
light; he does get out after six
o'clock and he attends to " the
work regularly, assisted by the
excellent wife who likes to keep
her flowers in shape. But it's
work they enjoy and work- all
would enjoy, if they ; got at
it It's work that will add to
the life and pleasure of any in
dividual. And, by the way, Mr.
Savage takes his scythe and
occasionally cuts the weeds off
the sides of the streets about
his property. , .
The five-masted schooner Elvira
Ball, abandoned last February
off Cape Henry and owned by
the Gilbert Transportion Com'
pany of Mystic, Conn., has just
drifted into the mouth of the
harbor at Fayal, Western Islands
and has been' towed into port.
The report of the Ball's safety
brings to light the strange tale
of a vessel which, without crew
or guiding hand at her wheel,
has practically accomplished her
own salvage, after six months
during which her owners had
sought vainly for her over the
ocean.
The Gilbert company has made
arrangements for the ocean-go
ing tug,s M. E. Luckenbach. to
Fayal and take the wandering
schooner home. :
With the. exception of the loss
of four of. her five masts, i the
schooner is in good condition

boilers and the water removed
from her hold with her own
pumps.
