Editor Gazette: I notice there is a movement among the business men of the city to get together and form some kind of a business organization," of a per manent nature such as a board of trade, or commercial union or something of that nature,, and with a view to having a medium through which the business in terests of the community can ex press themselves on questions attecting the welfare of the com munity. I understand that meeting of this character has been arranged for to meet at the court house next Saturday evening at half past seven o'clock, and that the business men generally have set this date in mind, and are . ready to meet and make an effort toward perfecting such an organization. It may not be out of place for a remark or two on this subject, just to remind us of some un pleasant facts. A few years ago there was a "boom" movement which more or less affected the entire coast. Beginning in Los Angles, it worked its way to Seattle. Nearly every town on the coast felt this boom movement more or less. Corvallis felt it; felt it far more than her share, for we not only had the stimulus of the boom fever, but also aspira tions built on transcontinental railroad hopes; which time only showed to be visionary. I think fully a quarter of a million dol lars of Benton county capital was invested in Pnget Sound, Astoria, Portland and Yaquina Bay real estate, on which invest ments probably not one-tenth ever came back. We all know the results of this wild speculative tendency. Many of us feel it yet. Many have sold out and gone, many more have been sold out and gone, and we still have with us the land and a good healthy town healthy because this speculative tendency has died out; and more so because the citizens and busi ness men who have survived the hard times of 1893-4 are apply ing very dmerent methods m their business affairs, than those methods in vogue before that crisis. What the community needs more than any thing else now is population. Population of the right sort, people who can come here, buy our land, and make those lands productive of wheat, hay and diversified farm products, and who will raise more sheep, hogs, poultry, cattle, and every other income-producing commod ity which our climate and soil so abundantly yields under the hand of intelligent industry. But how can we reach people to so populate this surrounding country? How can we invite them here, and when they come how are we to treat them, and what are the conditions they will meet respecting the acquisition of property? Certainly there are lands in this county' for sale, the best of farm lands, and at very reasonable prices, but how may incoming people know of this? Traveling men report that there is a strong immigration into the state. For instance, one railroad has a rate of $28 once a week from Nebraska points to Oregon, and this has induced a great influx of people; one train, said to carry above 1, 500 new homeseekers arrived in Portland this present week. Now, how are we meet ing these incoming people? Sim ply not meeting them at all. Other communities have business men's organizations and these boards get up descriptive matter and see that it is placed on the trains bearing these homeseekers, and as a result the new settlers go to their communities. -. They do not know that Corvallis and Benton county exist, for the rea son that these places are not rep resented. It is not necessary, that descriptive matter be of the boom order, nor that . incoming people be met with rebuff, nor with real estate sharks, so-called, (a misnomer, by the way: "for there are no such in this county). But there certainly ought to be some kind of descriptive matter showing that we have a town of 1,800 people here, a college with a liberal endowment, and offering especial inducements to people having children to educate, and a community - in J every way respectable and up-to-date, and a healthy location, in short a de sirable place to live. . One object of a representative business men's club, if it had no other purpose, would be to de vise ways and means for present ing in a proper manner, to in coming people the advantages which this community has to offer, as a place of residence and a desirable place to settle and make a home,' to buy arid, cul tivate; land and to hope to pros per according, to the investment in labor and money. No pro gressive man wants to locate in a dead town. Desirable settlers want to make their homes in wide awake communities. . Nat urally, if they find that Benton county has no community of sen timent, no organized representa tive body of men who can and will keep their eyes on move ments of a public nature which may make or mar the town, or the interests of the county, then they will go to some other town in this valley where the commu nity is organized, where- the peo ple are awake, and centers of population will grow up in other localities and Corvallis and Ben' ton county will remain pasture land. It takes people to make any community prosperous. The country is too large and too thin ly settled to expect that incomers will come here unless we make an effort to place in a fair and reasonable manner the advaa tages Benton county and Cor. vallis have to offer to induce them to come here. If the business men of the city will organize and see to it that proper matter is placed before the people com ing into the state, illustrating our community as a desirable place to live, and tell the plain truth, and leave out boom matter, then we may expect to get our share of this tide of immigration, and hold our place as an important com. munity. But if we do not do our part, then we must not com plain when we see other cities going ahead and this city going behind. Citizen. Corvallis, Feb. 21, 1901. Free Entertainment.
