Give It To The Firemen.
The flag contest will soon close
only a few days more and the
beautiful silk banner will be
given away. The contest closes
Aug. 31. The most worthy and
deserving participants in the con
test are the firemen. The Cor
vallis Fire Department is com
posed of as a fine a set of young
men as you will find in a day's
march, self-sacrificing, strong and
brave, ready to do and dare, to
save public property and if need
be precious lives from the awful
demon fire. The Fire Depart
ment is at this time of the year
the right arm of protection to this
city, and many times this summer
it has stood between us and des
truction. If you wish to know
what it means to be a fireman,
grab a hold on the hose cart
some day and take a mile run
with the bovs. Very few people
in Corvallis appreciate the boys
as thev should. They receive
not a penny for what they do,
and some memento of our good
will and esteem is a matter of
justice as well as courtesy. Many
of the other contestants have
flags, and the firemen have none.
Let us by all means give the
flag to our Firemen .
A New City Wanted.
A big mass meeting was held
at the Auditorium in Newport
last Tuesday forenoon for the
purpose of devising some means
whereby Nye Brook can either
be divorced from Newport or be
permitted to receive her share of
recognition in the way of im
provements. The proparty own
ers at Nye Brook are paying reg-
lar city taxes and have only re
ceived about $200 in improve
ments, while Newport has had
expended on its streets and water
front many thousands of dollars.
Nye Brook has also helped to pay
an indebtedness of $4,000 that
properly belonged to Newport.
At the meeting Tuesday, a com
mittee was appointed to prepare
a bill to be submitted to the next
legislature, either for the division
of the city, or an amendment in
favor of Nye Brook getting a
salisfastory share of the taxes.
S. B. Huston and W. N. Barrett
were named on the committee
along with several otherjattorneys
A New Move.
The board of equalization will
meet about September 20, but
before that time arrives each tax
payer will be served with a list of
all his taxable property. This
list will contain the names of all
taxpayers in the county and op
posite each name the amount of
all his taxable property, but not
the amount of taxes. This is
intended to enable each one to
see just what every other property
owner is worth and is for the ex
press purpose of lessening the
work of the equalization board.
Bach taxpayer can then compare
his "own property valuation with
that of his neighbor and if he is
dissatisfied he can appear . before
the board and have the matter
rectified
