An. Open j-Letter, to the:- Honor
.able City Council of '.Corvallis
.We Respectfully"' call your at
tention .to the f actthafc-for nine
months of the year Corvallis is
. essentially 1 Resident city, x. and
the "fibt'duty-and highest consi
;:eationrof the councif should be
S: to protect the health of its citi-
, zens.
The; greater part - of north
western cwvains nas no sewer
system and very Boor drainae-e.
: Science tells us that good health
is not' possible where there is
poor drainage. Last year there
were . several deaths from diph
theria in northwestern Corvallis.
emphasizing most forcibly the
need ot better conditions in this
partof town' " ,
Most especially, is drainage
needed around the school house
of the northwest district It
seems to the writer and has been
suggested by others that it was
a grand pie'ce of folly to.put the
schoolhouse in such a flat, wet
.place. It will boom poor lots,
but it is at a risk of the health
of innocent children and is not
much appreciated by some peo
ple who have to send their chil
dren there to school. Now it
, looks like the least the city coun
cil can do to make amends in
same measure is to fill in the
school grounds, put in a good
. sewer system and make it as
healthful as possible with good
drainage. ,
One of the best physicians of
the city, Dr. B. A. Cathey, gave
it as his opinion that if it is not
done soon it is highly probable
' that fatalities' must occur as a
result of these unhealthf ul sur
roundings. There is consider
erable agitation in regard to pav
ing the streets and it is said
Corvallis must pave to be in line
with other valley towns inths
regard. Albany has done a lot
of paving, but years since, Al
bany had a very good sewer
system and fine drainage. And
as to the paving contract, it is
very doubtful if any member of
the council would buy $72,000
worth of goods on only one bid.
If Corvallis isto keep up with
other leading towns of the val
ley as to civic improvements it
must ; first put in a good sewer
system for the whole town, then
pave streets as fast as possible.
Corvallis has today the greatest
school in the Northwest and is
primarily a residence city. Let
us make it first' healthful and
then beautiful. While visiting
in the "San Joaquin valley last
month, I made note of avfew
things only two of which I will
mention now. Modesto, the
county seat of Stanislaus county
is tearing down its two story
school building for greater safety
in case of fire, and because the
best scientists claimed that the
constant climbing stairs is injur
ious, especially to girls; and
VOL.
Modesto" claims more Daved
streets per capita than any town
in the state but they first - put
in a good water and sewer system;-
The water system is not
camparable for one minute with
that of Corvallis. V
PROPER PROGRESS ;

HI
Mayor and Mrs. Watters enter
tained. Saturday evening 1 that
friends might have the oppor
tunity of meeting Mrs. Birdean
Gamble and Mrs. G. H. Feese,
guests at their home the past
two or three weeks.1' The affair
was informal, A largely musical
arid particularly enjoyable be
cause of its charming simplicity.
The guests were pressed into
service as entertainers, and sev
eral contributed Jheir quota, to
the pleasure of all. , Dr: B. A
Cathey told a bear story that he
affirmed was the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth-
Judge W. S. McFadden cave a
reminiscence of early days when
he had just let- his shinsJle float

a he numbers bv Mrs. Gamble
were particularly enjoyable; that
ady having a voice of verv nleas
ing quality under excellent con
trol.
Following the program, straw
berries and cake was served and
social chat indulged in. There
were about forty guests, and
these expressed to Mr. and Mrs.
Watters sincere appreciation of
the evening's entertainment .
