Editor Gazette: I noted with satisfaction, the remarks of a "prominent citizen," in your last issue, touching the subjec4 of "advertising this vicinity." This gentleman has certainly touched a chord that should find a response ia the minds of our best people, and produce a vibra tion in the acts of every citizen in t'no community, whether prom:nent or not. The writer Of these lines was a resident of Corvallis twenty years ago, returning now after a lapse ot two decades, it is but natural thai many comparisons between then and now are con stantly suggested to the reflec tive mind, and to the imagina tive, pictures of what might have been, or may I say. of what should have been, had the busi ness men of this county been awake to their own Interests, even to the extent of letting the people of the less favored corners of creation knew the truth about Benton county. When I say "business men" I mean men wbose business is the prodntion of food stuffs, and raw material, as well as the manufacturer, merchant or banker. Corvallis tweaty years ago was very near its present stage, in point of population ; that there have been many commendable improvements, both in public and privato property, is a matter not to be overlooked, ana among the many county capitals of Ore gon, Uorvams occupies no mean position; but during this same score of years, see what human energies have done for newer towns, located where the natural advantages and possibilities are scarce a tithe of what is here apparent. The writer ha9 been privi leged to make his observations in all parts of United Mates and Canada, and in trutn lie can out say that considering everything, Northwestern Oregon is the slow est of the slow. Even the pro verbially deliberate South, is making rapid strides that will put to shame the most enter prising community in this state. The great "wild and woolly" state of Texas, will at the pres ent rate, soon have five ot six cities-, similar ia size to our Pert land. What Oregoniaa will ad mit that Texas is a better coun try than this? Twenty . years ago, Seattle, Spokane and Los Angeles were villages like this; what has made them the important) cities that they are today? Men and human energies, nothing else. These locations all presented many advantages, , to be sure, will any ne admit that Corvallis had less advantages presentable twenty years ago, or that it has none or few today? True, all Oiegon has lost much prestige by its Rip-Van-Winkle sleep, nevertheless, if it9 different com munities will even now awaken and da something and keap-a-doing-it, they may speedily bring this glorious country to the front, fill it np with a race of thrifty, cultured, enterprising people, who will develop Its many re sources, now scarsely recognized It is painful to note the dense lenorance in tne minas of Eastern people, those supposedly well informed, regarding Oregon, and especially touching any of the inland or smaller towns. They know of California from Mexico to 2nasta, they ara acquainted with Washington, from the Puget bound to the Blue Mountains, bat when you tell them the truth about Ore iron, their eves bung out with wonder, that these things can be and they knew it not. It is easy to see how with proper financial baekingj a board of trade, or an organization un der any other name, a man of abilitv as its secretary, can col lect and publish such facts, figures and illustrations touching this vicinitv, as will attract a large number of tha best class of men to it; men with , means to invest and a mind to be of value to the community in which they settle. Attracted only by the vivid, and I may say conserva tive, portrayal of the truth, find ing the reality as good or better than the representation, these new-comers at once become well satisfied citizens, and both the state and the man reap a benefit May I be permitted to express the hope that the business men of Benton county will at once push this matter to a successful issue, and let tne world Knew that here is as good a country as lie9 out of doors, and that it in habited by highly Civilized wide-a-wake mea wae wish to share their good fortune with .others of their kind. The writer could experience a just sat 'action in seeing this county take a leading place. It was his first adopted home, the home of his youth, and through the years that have intervened, hzs ever stood ont as bys nature, tlie favored spot of a favored country. Yours Truly, - Lincoln Bennett. Corvallis, Feb. 25, 1901. Regents' Meeting. New Road Laws. All the members of the col lege regents were present at the special meeting Wednesday ex cept Governor Geer and Secre tary of State Dunbar, who sent their special regrets for being unable to attend. The main object of the meeting was to pro vide for expenditure of the funds appropriated by the recent legis lature for that institution. There were two funds appropriated, first, $20,000 for the present and $25,500 annually thereafter. - It was resolved by the, beard to" expend this money in accord ance with the relative needed improvements at the college. 1 Toilet rooms; 2 heating of Armory building; 3 erection of a station building; 4 painting of the two dormitories; 5 water supply for the building and grounds. A committee consist ing of President Apperson, Sen ator Daly and Mr. Weatherford was appointed to manage this expenditure. The other appropriation was $10,000 and the 620 acre farm in Union county bought by the state for an asyium a few years ago, now turned over to the college for experimental pur poses. The institution of an ex periment station at this farm and the management of this fund was delegated to tha executive committee of the board with the Eastern Oregon member, J. M. Church, added. A resolution was unanimously adopted by the board that it is in hearty accord with the action of the legislature in thus establish ing an experiment station in Eastern Oregon and that it in tends to aid it as much as possi ble. Architect Burgraf, of Albany, was present with drawings for the agricultural building, which probably will cost when finished $40,000, and no doubt will be very creditable. There were some other rnat- i ters discussed but they were of minor importance. The meet ing was very harmonious and encouraging for the college. Most ot the visiting members went to Albany in the evening in a carriage. Two bills relating to the collec tion of road taxesj which have been signed by the governor and are now law, are house bills 103 and 205. . The . former law requires courty courts to levy a road tax of - not more than 10 mills on the dollar, based on the previoes year's as sessment. The fund thus created is to be expended under the direc tion of a county roadmaster, who has supervision of the supervisors. Upon the petition of 12 free holders of any road district, ap proved by the roadmaster, for the improvement of any road, the county court shall consider the petition, and, if approved shall ask for sealed bids for the performance of the work and furnishing of the material -needed, and let ' the con tract to the best bidder, provided, however, that the court may reject any and all bids. The court is also authorized to purchase rock-crushers out of the road fund. The tax provided for in this act is in lieu of taxes heretofore made oollectible under other acts. House bill 205 requires the col lection of a road poll tax of $3 from every re ale inhabitant over 21 and under 50 years of age, unless by law exempt. The tax must be paid either in labor or cash, but the county court may require that it be paid in cash. If any person refuses to pay the tax a suit may be brought in the justice court to collect the same, and the wages of delinquent may be levied upon to collect any judgment recovered The tax must be expended upon the roads of the district in which collected. The act contains an emergency clause, and : goes into effect immediately. The tax be comes due on March 1, and may be collected between March 1" and December 81 of each year.
