Corvallis Feb 16, 1905 Editor Observer; I have been thinking that perhaps a few lines from this part of the country would be of interest to the people of Union County , Gorvalhs is a" town of about 3000 population situated on the weat side of tbe Willamette River some 90 miles south of Portland at one time a thriving Rail Road town but at present it gams - its support from the surrounding country and the Agricultural College which is situated here, the Receipts from the College are from $80,000 $100,000 per year I have -been struck with the truthfulness of the argument presented by 'our wet brethren that th&J grass woald grow in the streets of a dry . town for. I have found such tcfbe the case here, this town went dry (inwardly) the first of the year since that time the grass has grown very rapidly While they manage to keep it down on the principal streets yet in the alleys aud back streets there is a luxurious growth Now, while one will have to admit after seeing this that graBS will grow when rum is prohibited, yet it is not so bad as they would have us believe, for it not only does way with tbe dust on those streets, where the sprinkler doa'ent reach There has not been a particle of dust since the first of the year But it can be made to bring in quite a revinue to the city in way of pasture for that "town cow" a problem our wet town have been trying to solve for, lo! those many years. Tbe cow here is not allowed to run at largs but is protected with or rope some thirty feet long This is changed once a day, and at ten cents a day would bring in quite a sum. for some of our towns You may ask if the people are satisfied with the change. In answer I will cite you to a mass m:eting which was held in this town few days ago the meeting was called to get the sentiment as to the change of Local Option Law. It was unanious against changing it. I have ne.vei heard of an arrest being made or any disorderly conduction the streets. The Co.leg is situated on an elevation west of the town proper, this I will . not try to describe at this time for want of time. There are about 630 students enrolled in the different departments. There ia a class of one hundred in wood work of which .ten are young ladies, they are supposed to give one hour a day to this work. There are about the same -number in the blacksmith ehop'Tliere is quite a class in the machine shop, but as I understand only seniors can take this course the class is 'much . smaller. There are large classes in all tbe other departments such ai Horticult ure, Floriculture, Mining, En Eineerine, Surveying, Dairing, In fact averything needed in the ordinary affairs of life is taught here. For those who are old er and have not had the advant ages of such a school, they give a short course in Farming and Dairing, which every farm er and dairy man should take. While the lectures are free yet they take up the latest and most scientific means of hand ling these indastries A more compitent and obliging set of Professors it has never been my lotto meet. Every one seems to be anxious that his part is thoroughly understood by -the class. They never tire of questions by those who are try ing to learn. The students are all required to take the physi culture except those who are physically liable. A more healthy lot of students one seldoms (ees, and for gentleman ly and lady like conduct it is not to be surpassed.
