The Evening: Telegram of
Monday, May 16, contains one of
the best' write-ups of the town
that has ever been-published. It
occupies a pige and a half, and is
filed with well written ecrip
tions and cuts of the most piom-
inent buildings. We reproduce the
accompamng editorial, puMtshtd

credit to the Telegram- staff who
bave gathered the iniortnatton,
and to the paper itself fr the
naiTRer "of presenting it.' Cor

. egrsra for this special article.
Tbere is no city in the state of
Oiegoa whose residents are more
entitled to entertain sentiments
of civic pride than the college
towu of Corvallis, the county
seat and emporium of .trade,
wealth and refinement for Ben
ton county, and from position
and importance deservedly recog
nized as the center of the Wil
lamette Valley. Corvallis is rich
in historic interest and associa
tion, -and .is to be reckoned as
one of the most enterprising
municipalities in the state. Its
favorable location and transpor
tation facilities-both to fhe coast
and the state metropolis, that
have been made available through
the public spirit of its citizens;
marks it prophetically as one ot
the future great cities in the new
Oregon. -It is doubtlul if there
. has ttfnanated from any other city
in the state a more absolute and
persistent influence for good than
has cosae from Corvallis. With
in its boundaries is located the
largest educational institution in
Oreeron, and the character of
good scholarship and practical
citizenship that has resulted from
the training and instruction re
ceived there, has been a factor
in the state's progress and gen
uine well-being that cantut be
overestimated.
-Within the boundaries of the
state there is no section of the
state where the newcomer from
the East will better be repaid in
a visit than the county of which
Corvallis is the financial, com
mercial and - governing center.
The push and energy that is now
manifest at this thriving city
is characteristic of . the resi
dents of the entire county. Land
is productive, prices are reason
able and aside from this there is
within the public domain nearly
30,000 acres open for settlement.
For hopgrowing, dairying, lum
bering, livestock raising,, horti
culture or general agricultural
pursuits, there is promise of
abundant return for capital and
r labor. Socially, the city of Cor
vallis is all that could be desired.
In fact, in every line commer
cial, industrial, educational and
otherwisefrom its location and

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Articles of general interest will be pob
lished iu this department as the personal
opinion of the w riters. It is anderstood
that , the paper is not held responsible
for any opinion ht re expressed."
: I have been kindly accorded in
the columns of the -Corvallis Oa-
zette a candid presentation of -our
side of Prohibition and the kin
dred question of "Local Option."
The latter first, please. Prbhi
bi'irniist'saie in lavor of anything
tttat promises . to -be effective in
the solution of the liquor prob
lem. The law to be voted on in
June has this promise. I know
that Prohibitionists hold this at
titude, for I am in personal touch
with all the leading. Prohibition
ists of the state. Moreover they
inaugurated the bill itself, fur
nished seven-tenths of the money
and nine-tenths of thev work in
getting the petitions signed and
are still paying and working far
out of proportion to their mem
bers. ,
But more we Prohibitionists
believe that if Local Option is to
be made permanent and effective
t iere must be back of it a per
sistent organization virtually in
terested in its enforcement.
The rights of the colored man
could mvrr have been secured,
much less could they have been
maintained, had there not 'been
standing solid at his back -the
splendidly organized Republican
party, crowned with the courage
t heroic conscience. "
On the basis of overwhelming
historic expeiience we believe
that a party indentifitd with any
new and revolutionary principle,
is essential to the permanence of
that principle. And of course
consistently with this belief we
work for Prohibition with a party i
behind it, whue working for lo
cal option.
But we are often asked to aban
rlor, ,r mr!v nrnrtr onrl r,,tcK lo.
f" ' j w " .
cal option on non-partisan lines'.
i nis seenis to me as uniair as it t
would be for us to ask Republi
can and Democratic leaders to
abandon their patty work and de-
in the direction of their princi-'
pies to oe sure, but on non-par-
tisan lines. j
Oh! this will be solved when
we believe, that men and money !
both are worth more than money
alone, and less money at that.
Gratefully and Sincerely
B..E. Emeric,
