.ME CQRVALLIS GAZETTE Tuesdays and Fridays, to. A. D EARING, ED. and BUS. MGR. These is a propaganda afloat in umany Eastern cities th.it has for r'its aim a general beautifying of the municipal environment. The lan as it has been reported in the newspapers, says the Telegram, iis simplicity itse.f. It means an organization of the people in each tfelock in the resident district, with sa. view to securing such co-operation as will not only produce the vfeest re-snhs in the way of adorn vanent for the home surroundings, -but at the siuie time bring about 3the greatcsc possible harmony in the effect of color and mass. "There is nothing in this scheme lmt what should commend itself to every resident owner who main- tains a r ride in the appearance of " his own property, and has a prop er regard for the artistic fitness -of things in matters municipal. In this block organization, which we are told works satisfac torily in Eastern cities, there is a suggestion of small beginnings locally that might lead to mar velous results. In any section of the city where at present there is little attention paid to improve ment of this character, the opin ion may be saftly ventured that if this organized block movement is ence launched the first example will find ready followers, and as results show for themselves other -sections will fall in line, and good results will follow. The sum mer travel to the coast will soon :-set in and many visitors will spend the noon hour in this citv, and take advantage of the time to take a look aronnd. Let us nnake our city so attractive that -everyone will want to coine again -It is every good citizens duty to ilove his home, and it is easy to :3ove it if it is lovable. Make it attractive. Your children will be unconsciously influenced for good ssccd you w:ll be compensated in a lutmdred ways. Wake up, clean up,. spruce up. If you live ia a rented house, buy it. If you are -unsettled, settle; then trim your lawn, set out rose bushes, train vines and paint the feoce. Brush JOp; and if your wife won't help you but she will. O. A. C. Notes.
