Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING, APR. 2, 1907 Albany and Corvallis. An Albany fraternal order came to Corvallis last Sunday to worship. The visit was an ; expression of good fellowship. It was an incarn ation of friendly relation. The exchange of friendly visits by the fraternal orders in the two towns is frequent, It is the embodied ab sence, of feudism and the disappear ance of hostile rivalry. The (petty rivalries common to towns and cit ies similarly situated as are! Cor vallis and Albany, are silly.. They are too small to be encouraged There is room and plenty of it for both. There i3 enough trouble in the world anyway, , without . the canker worm of intertown hostility of which there are so frequent and so illuminating manifestations. There is scarcely ever excuse for it. and never honor in feeding and keeping it alive. It is better in the sight of God and man for one town to help build the other up instead of seeking to drag it down. A cordial ; relation - is pleasurable for both, and the feud relation bitter.; for both. Mutual good feeling and kindness is testamentary to the common sense and the opposite signifies more or less of petty mindedness in both. It is a good day for Corvallis and for Albany when their fraternal orders lead the way for mutual es eem. May all the good people - n both towns follow the example; KNIGHT TEMPLARS .WERE HERE. ... They Came and Went by Special Train Many in Uniform Their . i Worship. In accordance with an ancient , custom, Knight Templars celebrate Easter service with : appropriate - ceremonies. This is -the custom . the world over, where 'Knight , , Templarism exists. Temple Com- mandery at Albany ' usually wor- - ships in the elegant Masonic hall ..ot that city. At times they have sent to Portland, Salem, and cities more remote ior prelate to officiate on that special . occasion. .. This year that distinguished office was conferred upon Dr. T, R. N. Bell, I ..... pastor of tbe First , Presbyterian , church of this city. ; And the hon or ;was more significant for the fact that the Masonic body accompanied , by the Eastern Star of that city, came to this city to worship.. Prom- inently among the ; number were, D. P. Mason! the patriarch of Ma sonary in Oregon, W. R. Bilyeu",' J- R. Cusick, Frank Miller, C. ..Winn and Russell Wyatt. . The services at the Presbyterian church were held at 3 o'clock so as not to conflict with the services of any other, church. Dr Bell's sermon was a masterly effort. - and the scene confronting him was a , .! sight to behold, for it was a fore ground of plumed Knights sur rounded by the order ot , Eastern . Star. Upon repairing to the Ma . sonic Hall refreshments were serv ' ed by the ladies of the Eastern Star. The local Knight Templars and members of Oregon Council No. 2 R. &. S. M. sought in every '- way to make it pleasant for ' the visitors. 1 he rest of the afternoon was devoted to visiting and to the cultivation of that fellowship which is cordially harmonizing the rela tions that ?x1'st between Albany and Corvallis. At the close of the exercises the guests expressed the wish that the Masonic bodies of Corvallis ' might v, at some time in the near future re turn the visit, To Old Comrades.

'August He Inspects Cadets Next Month. ; . ,Tbe war department of the United States ljas appointed an offi cer of the regular army to become commandant and instructor in mili tary science and tactics is made a requirement , in instruction at the college by the law of congress which makes the appropriation for maintainance. This appropriation, by the recent increase of $25,000 per annum will soon reach about $60,000 a year, and it is required to be devoted to . instruction . in agriculture, English, mathematics, and mechanical, electrical, mining, civil and other engineering courses. The department also provides guns, and paraphernalia for purposes of drill. The new commandant is Captain Ulysses Grant McAlexander of the 13th United States Infantry. He was born in Minnesota and was ap pointed a cadet to the - United States military, academy at .West Point from Kansas in 1883. He was graduated in 1887, was a sec ond lieutenant in the army until until 1894, and a first lieu tenant until 1898 when he was made a captain of volunteers. In March 1899 he was honorably dis cnarged from the volunteers to ac cept a captaincy in the 13th Infant ry, Captain McAlexander is now the official inspector of the agricultur al colleges, known in the federal law as land grant colleges, by rea son of the fact that they were en dowed originally by grants of land made by congress for their support. He, begins his tour' of . inspection within a few days at New Orleans, visits the colleges in the various southern states, reaches OAC about May 8th, and on the return trip of inspection goes through the north ern states, reaching, Washington in July. He then returns to OAC, and is expected to arrive about August 1 st. , Captain McAlexander was especially selected for OAC by Secretary, Taft. WITH GRANITE BASE. Surmounted by Heroic Figure Monu , ment for old Soldiers in Crystal : Lake Cemetery. A big monument for the old soldiers plat in Crystal Lake ceme tery was the occasion of a meeting in Gr A. R. hall Saturday night. The plan as the Times has hitherto stated, is to raise $1,000 for the monument, and $300 of the sum has already been raised and the monument association is gathering funds as fast as possible . to com plete the figure, ,rItt time a. sub scription paper will find" it way along the street and .of course will meet with a liberal response. Of the 30 old soldiers in the vicinity each have, pledged $10. The monument planned is a base 10 feet high sur mounted by a; heroic figure of tbe theme. In connection with.'Satur day's meeting a supper was" served in connection from, which a neat sum was realized for the monument. The meeting was i enlivened by tbe following programme: ...

In This ToWWhat it Means An in cident and a few Remarks There- , on. .'.A .,'..'.'" The cry in Portland is lor a beautiful city.. The newspapers there plead 'for adornment of door yards . with t roses and flowers. The movement everywhere is in the same direction. , People real ize as never J. before what flowers and roses; mean. They are beauty, and beauty; softens and . mellows human life.5' " It elevates and thrills, and at the same time; rests and refreshes. It turns thought "away from the cares of business and makes the world more peaceful and more pleasant. And to the stranger who comes home-TJeeking it is attractive. It interests and delights hinu Where the roses .bloom and the : flowers smile through their tints of beauty, hie. loves to .linger. Every flower face and every blushing rose is an invitation to him to bide, among them. . v ; : We. print costly pamphlets and send them broadcast telling of " the wonders of this wonderland of Oregon.' We advertise : and we sermonize bh our resources and we urge the homeseekers to come. Yet the one thing that is a means of most powerful inducement to them to remain is often overlooked, and that is the beauty possible of producing with flowers and roses. And here is the point in these re- j marks. There are children and grown up people in Corvallis who are wilfully destroying the flowers and roses in the door yards of home - owners. Three little girls 13 or 14 years old invaded a yard last night about 7:30 o'clock and nearly robbed a bed of its blooming hyacinthys. Without permission and with perfect disregard of their rights in the premises, they stole into the place and tore the flowers from the bed. The lady of -the house heard them and when she appeared they fled just as sneak thieves flee and just as burglars flee. It was an outrage (because the people who plant these flowers want them for the beauty the floweis give to their places. They do not want them torn up an car-' ried away. Nor is this the only instance. There are complaints all the time. The effort to beautify the City Hall park met with even worse dis couragement. Grown up , people tore up by the roots and carried off highly prized shrubs and flowers that had bsen procured at consider able cost and great patience." The practice was carried on to such an extent that the effort to keep the park beautified is about to be aban doned. . . "' " In the case of the three little girls, thoughtlessnese more than downright meanness is probably the; explanation. Children' cannot be expected to know all, that grown folks, know. The Wonder is, cannot all people in town be come interested in the encourage' ment. lof . a Corvallis beautiful. Cannot the children be taught the idea, and be made little guardians rather than little marauders of the flower plats. Cannot the public school teachers, the college instruc tors and parents all join in a move ment for making Corvallis a "sight ly town to see? We have the best town in Western Oregon, we have the most delightful site for a town with the mos! beauti ful- surroundings, can we not add these artificial touches when nature has given to us so generously ?
