It is said to be good to see our selves as others see us and Wm, E. Curtis, of the Chicago Record Herald, has furnished Corvallis- ites a view of their city. His words are not particularly cheer ful to read, but they are straight goods. Mr. Curtis could hardly have been prejudiced, and he wrote to his paper only what he taw. In his article he gets mixed In minor detail, and this will queer him in the minds of some, but there is no escaping the cor rectness of his judgment, Cor vallis should not be a city of dis reputable sidewalks,- weed-grown streets, " ramshackle r business buildings and a succession of un painted outbuildings ready to collapse. Corvallis is making some strides toward betterment but there is still tremendous room for improvement,- and just so long as there is not a radical change reaching every individual in this city will knowing visitors come here and form just such an opinion as that expressed in the Chicago Record-Herald by ivir. cur as. uur shame was published on column one, page one of the Wednesday, Sept. 29, edition of this great Chicago daily. This thing should stick in the "craw" of each citizen in this city until he has done every thing in his power to make it impossible for any other great writer to come here and send back to his paper such an im pression as" that gained by Mr. Curtis when here. It will be noticed that Curtis's first men tion was of weeds in the streets and gutters. This is a phase of civic ugliness . that can be re moved at no cost other than an .occasional physical effort of prop erty owners, 'and until theyare Willing to make that effort they The city of Corvallis is nroDos should rightly have to 'undergo nS to seH a piece of business the humiliation there is in having property- No city should sell auy vi its iana. ma Portland This city needs several good business buildings, and it is cer tain that they, would pay inter est on the money invested. There are several in this city who could build one of - these much-needed structures and not go heavily into their possessions. 1 Why can't they see fit to invest in this way some -of the money they can't take with them when they -are called on to go else where? It is frequently asserted that Corvallis really needs a large, first-class hotel. It is also as serted that one prosperous citi zen, noted for his conservatism and financial ability, believes such a, building would pay good interest on $100,000 and he ex presses a desire to do much to ward getting such a buildine erected. Why can't other wealthy individuals join in this effort and use some of their surplus in such a laudable enterprise an enter prise that would mean more to Corvallis than a half dozen large appropriations for the college. .". This city' needs a first-class opera house the city has grown to the size that entitles itto a real theater. There are several here who would guarantee a proper re turn on an investment of $20,000 in such a building. Why can not two or three wealthy people make it possible for Corvallis to have an opera house? The city needs a park. There are some citizens said to be well able to make such a gift without crowding their bank account. Is it possible that no one will open up his pocketbook in this matter, and thus pass up an op portunity to write his name on the heart of every present and future Corvallisite? Corvallis has more than a few men and women. Duroorted to be financially able to do consid- abie, who have done really little for even their own comfort and pleasure, . and of course they have done . less for the welfare of the city and the people about. This is strictly r their personal business, of course, yet it is not unfair to say the beloved citizens of other towns are those who in m some generous way indicate an interest, in the city that is their home. After a citizen has lived in a city a number of years and by his business acumen. aided materially by the " kindli ness of his fellow citizens, . has accumulated riches it is not un fair to expect that when he no longer needs his overplus he will give that city some token of his appreciation. He can do that by helping his home town meet its needs, and he adds to his own life and hallows his memory by helping where he can when help is needed. It's worth while to loosen up sometimes. .
