BEAUTIFUL AMERICA.
The Baneful Effects of Modern
Civilization.
J. Horace McFarland, presi
dent of the American League for
Ciyic Improvement is contribute
ing a series of articles for , the
Ladies Home Journal on the sub
ject of beautifying our. homes
and villages. Two numbers have
already appeared and they - may
be found in the January and'
February issuesT -
' Several bF'the towns ot Oregon
have been working quietly ; Tor
two or three "years ; past along
these lines. The Ciyic Improve
ment society of Corvallis holds
monthly meetings on the last Fri
day of every month in the County
Court room at 7:30 p. m.,' to
which all of our citizens interest
ed in village improvement are
cordially invited. The next
meeting occurs on the 26th inst.
An extract from Mr. McFar
land's Januarv article may prove
suggestive, just now as we are
looking forward to the Spring
and its work :
"I live in a city lying along
the banks ot one of America's
most ' beautiful rivers. " From
these banks I see a magnificent
panorama, . A favorite drive of
mine is to go north of the city by
an unimproved, and therefore less
nasty, public road parallel with
the river, returning along: its
edge, with a changing vista of
natural beauty every rod of the
way. Over the edjje of the river
bank the wild phlox and the
saponaria, .the goldenrod and the
asters have entrenched them
selves, and the thorn trees blos
som and fruit in competition of
beauty with the willows, locusts,
birches and elms. Even in these
winter days there is much to at
tract in the tree forms, delicate
and symetrical, or rugged and
strong, and in the wonderful va
riety or." soft color spread on na
ture's snowy palette.
"But all too sqon we come to
the city liue, and no topgraphi-
cal mark is needed to show that
civilization is at hand, for the
flowers give way to tin cans and
potato paring?, and the trees
have long been buried in dirty
ashes or worse. The clean, peb
bly beach of the upper stretches
has been 'developed' and 'im
proved' by a coating of slimy
sewage, lruly, civiiizatiou lias
flowered on this river hank !
Is this an exceptional picture
of our civilized efforts to suppress
beauty ? If any reader thinks
so 1 suogest a walk about the
farm house, the city dwelling,
even the suburban street, with
eyes open to the comparison, and
the mind on the clean places
where the oeasts live. Do you
find the farm yard sweet and
clean in all its parts, and I hesi
tate but the truth needs the
words,. are the pigs housed where
they have an ; opportunity to be
as clean as they are willing to be ?
How is the village garden in its
corners and angles? And the
city dwelling? it is doubtless
decorously fronted at least; but
what does the back yard" stand
for, and - does the high board
fence, deemed necessary for pri
vacy, protect a clean and sightly
place? Is the outlook of fence,
trolley poles and ash barrels rest
ful to the eye and soothing to the
spirit ?
True civics teaches unselfish
ness, and we need much unselfish
ness in America, for it is selfish
ness that has made us dirty and
unbeautiful in our cominunity
lives. 'Out of sight out of mind'
is the text upon which tin cans
gather on vacant lots, garbage
festoons the river banks, and
typhoid fever starts its deadly
course; and selfishness dictated
that text."
The war arouses interest in Japan, and
niakes particularly timely tha article
"Japan To-Day," in the Argonaut for
February 22d. It consists of comments
and extracts from some of the latest books
about the Mikado's country, and is full
of interesting information.
M. L. Dorris, a former Corvallis
resident, died at San Diego, Cal.,
last week from consumption. Mr.
Dorris went to -California several
weeks ago from Eugene with the
hope of benefiting his health. His
wife has been living with her
parents at Independence while Mr.
Dorris -was in the South. He was a
member of the Workmen, Masons,

has many friends to mourn his
