THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1891
THE CARRIAGE FACTORY.
It was expected that the $50,000
atook for the new carriage factory
would all be subscribed by Saturday,
the 13th, but it seems that some of
onr business men are slow to take hold
of the matter with the enthusiasm
and interest that should be manifest
ed toward such an enterprise. They
have not subscribed as liberally as was
expected, while some who would be
directly benefited by the establishment
of the factory here still hang back
waiting- for others to take the stock
and let them receive the benefit with
out putting up a cent.
Gentlemen, this is not the proper
spirit to show toward an enterprise of
this magnitude. If Corvallis ever ex
pects to be more than a mere village
her business men must put their shoul
ders to the wheel of progress, and pull
together as one man. They must not
throw cold water on each others efforts.
Do not put everything off on to the
shoulders of a few public spirited and
enterprising citizens, but lend them a
helping hand, speak an encouraging
word, subscribe as liberally as you can
according to your means, to any legiti
mate enterprise that will be of benefit
to the citv. Don't say "times are
hard." Times are always hard with
those who do not try to help them
selves when they have an opportunity,
Don't say the town is good enough for
you, that you don't care whether we
have factories or not, that you can get
along without them, for you know you
are not telling the trutli when you
make snch assertions. The more life
and business there is in your town the
easier it is for you to earn your bread
and butter.
Factories giving employment to the
laboring classes, and live, pushing, and
liberal, spirited business men are the
life blood! of any town. Progressive
business men do not set back in their
offices and let the cob webs accumu
late on their front windows or the moss
and grass grow on their awnings while
they complain of hard times, that the
town is dead, etc. No they don't do that.
They advertise their goods in their
home papers, their goods are tastefully
displayed in their show windows, their
stores have an inviting appearance to
their customers. They are liberal and
public spirited, they aid both finan
cially and by their influence every
legitimate enterprise that comes along
that may be of benefit to the town.
They can afford to, for they are the
ones that make the money while their
mossback neighbors sets back bewail
ing their misfortunes and the hard
times.
Corvallis has advantages that few
other towns in the state has. She is
so situated that she has easy access to
the markets of the world, both by sea
and land. Their is timber, building
atone and mineral wealth in abund
ance in the hills and mountains near
at hand. The soil of Benton county,
of which Corvallis is the county seat,
will produce more to the square foot
than any piece of land outside of the
state of Oregon. Now why should
not Corvallis be a city five times its
present size? Because we need more
factories, more enterprises to give em
ployment to the laboring classes. Our
imports must be less, we must manu
facture our own vehicles, our own
clothing, can our own fruit, and keep
the thousands of dollars that are sent
out of the the town and county ev ery
year, here at home.
Gentlemen, you have an oppor
tunity of having one of these factories
established here now, the only one of
the kind on the Pacific coast Think
N of it, the entire trade of the coast in
tfeis line coming to Corvallis, sending
out 25 buggie wagons and carts every
day of the year. It mews 150 new
homes, 150 more families to supply
with clothing and groceries. What
are you going to do about it? Are
you going to throw cold water on the
enterprise and let it go to seme other
town. There still remains about
$10,000 worth of stock to be subscrib
ed to complete the $50,000. This
should all be taken before to-morrow
night. There are men who own prop
erty, the value of which would be en
hanced 25 per cent, by the establish
ment of this factory here, who have
not yet signed for one share of the
stock. Can you make as good an in
vestment by loaning. your money, even
if the enterprise paid no dividend on
the stock for the next three or four
years?; We think not. Then don't
wait to be forced into it, but come for
ward and sign for as much of the stock
as you can afford to. Get- one manu
facturing enterprise established here
nd others will follow..
Her Last Trip. Last Tuesday,
Mrs. B. Thompson, of Astoria, started
for Corvallis to visit her son, S.
Thompson, who lives in the northern
part of the city. She arrived in Cor
vallis Thursday on the noon train and
was met at the depot by her relatives.
She complained to them that she whs
not feeling well and a carriage was en
gaged of Thomas Eglin to convey her
from the station to the residence, not
being aware that her illness was of a
serious nature. But the pleasure of
her visit and the expected meeting of
her grandchildren was never realized
for the angel of death carried away her
spirit before the carriage arrived at its
destination, and the happy greeting of
those who were awaiting her arrival
was turned to that of sorrow. Grand
ma Thompson, as she was called, was
78 years of age. When she left As
toi ia she was feeling slightly indispos
ei but no notice was taken of it. The
long journey proved to be more than
her delicate health and old age could
stand. The funeral will "take pkce at
the residence this (Friday) afternoon
at 3 o'clock. The lemains will be in
terred in the Masonic cemetery.
JiiDS Upened. At the governor s
