LET US HAVE THE BEST.
"Linn County Council P. of H.
met Saturday with Sand Ridge
Grange D. H. Bodine, presid
ing.
"Several granges were repre
sented. The reading of the mm
utes of the previous session held
with Crowfoot Grange, showed
that a resolution was adopted to
the effect that the president
of ' the OAC to be select to
succeed- President Gatch lately
resigned, "Should be a man in
touch with the farming interests
of this state, and not a member
of the present faculty. "Albany
Her-ald.
There seems to be a diversity
of opinion regarding what is re
quired to fit a man for president
of OAC. So far, two classes
have been heard from, and their
opinions are not so wide apart
as they might be. One class, to
judge from the opinion voiced,
seem to think something in the
line of a country school teacher
would be about right; while the
other class evidently prefers a
farmer.
As a matter of fact, if OAC is
ever to become a great education
al institution, she must be guid
ed by a broad-guage man- The
field is here, and the necessity of
having the best should be appar
ent to all who are in any wise
posted on the needs of the in
stitution. The man selected as
president to succeed President
Gatch should posses - an educa
tion not furnished . by the com
mon schools of any star,e; he
should be scholarly, a good dis
ciplinarian and a good business
man, as well as a man of good
address.
These qualities are of utmost
importance. There is no man
too good for the position, and let
us have the best.
FOR HUMANITY'S SAKE.
In this period of business ac
tivity and everlasting hustle for
the almiihty dollar there is dan
ger that the commands and pre
cepts of tne Almighty himself
will be forgotten, the wee, faint
voice of conscience be stifled.
Man owes to all his kind a duty
which he should not attempt to
escape when the debt must be
met. It comes due in the form
of alleviating sorrow and suffer
ing for your distressed neighbor
yea! for all mankind.
Nestled among the sublime
mountains of Colorado is an in
stitution founded and maintained
by men and women of the high
est intelligence, and whose lofty
aim is to fight and cure the
"great white plague," the most
appalling scourge of man. That
they do cure consumption is an
assured fact. This institution
has been working in a quiet way
for years and there is not one
cent charged patients, who by
the misfortune of the dread mal
ady are forced under its hospi
table roof. It is absolutely free to
all who are poor and diseased.
No one is denied its good offices.
This is known as the "Nation
al Jewish Hospital for Consump
tives." Quoting from its by
laws we find the statement:
"There shall be no charge of
any kind to any patient admit'.ed
to the hospital, either for med
ical attendance, drugs or for his
care and maintenance while in
the hospital."
"There ia bat this 'open sesame to
the sun-kissed and mountain-pillowed
hospital poverty ad disease.
"It is only for those who fail ly the
wayeide, famishi d, ill, heirless.
"Yon who have the quick-thinking
mind and the bouyancv of health, you
who teem with vitality and strength,
you in the shelter of a happy home, in
the embrace ol. lored ones give but a
little i art of the prosperity God has
dow-red yon with."
1 Is there not someone in this
community who feels like doing
I something for suffering human
jity? Some person conscious of
the spirit, of , man's humanity to
man, with a desire to contribute
their mite to farther this work
for the poor and diseased? If
so, please leave such contribu
tions with S. L. Kline, this city,
who has been a contributor to
this institution for years.
ALL ARE ACTIVE.
Interest Increasing in Big "All
Benton Fair."
There is no reason to doubt
the success of the proposed "All
Benton" fair that is scheduled to
occur iti Corvallis next August.
11 over the county the school
children are enthusiastic in re
gaid te the p!an, which means
ihat parents are also interested or
will become so at any rate
through the activity ot their
young folks. .
Sometime ago Superintendent
Den man sent to each teacher in
Benton county a circular letter,
stating that , he depended upon
the teachers to get their pupils in
terested in the tatr and to parti
cipate in it. Sun't Deb'msn in
htse circulars offertd ten sug
gestions to teachers, as follows:
i See to it that every , hoinr
in your district is represented in
the contest.
2 Give little talks in the
norning, showing the beneficial
results to be attained by enter-
3 Impress upon your school
the importance of mining a cre
ditable showing at the fair.
4 Impress upon your pupils
i he necessity of putting forth
theii best efforts in anything un
Jertaken in life.
5 Impress upon them the in
jury of only doing things by
halves.
6 Show your pupils by vour
-wn interest that you want them
o enter and to win.
7 Impress upon your pupils
hat now is the time to com
nence, and not a month from
now.
8 Do not have it said of your
school when the tair is over that
vour school was not represented
or that only a s-mall number ot
yonr pnpilsdid anything.
9 A creditable showing at
the fair will rtflict credit upon
vou as a teacher, provided you
were instrumental in having such
a result obtaintd.
10 l"n closiug, let me say, I
cannot do anything unless every
e icher does her part in this un
dertaking;. If every teacher in
charge of a school will urge, ad
vocate, and suggest to their pu
oils the way to get results, we
can all do something. There
fore, without a concerted effort
on part of every teacher and
every school, the fair will fall far
ihort of what might have been.
We, as teachers must show to
the patriotic and liberal citizens
of the countv who have put up
the cash and premiums, tat we
appreciate it. The profession
cannot overlook this generosity
to further oar work. I desire a
report from your school to be
printed in the county papers.
showing what you are doing, and
will do at the .air.
Send me this report as quickly
as possible with your name sign
ed to it. It will appear in the
papers just as you send it to me.
We are doing this to keep up the
interest in the fair. A good re
port from you will interest your
district more than anything else
ia it. So remember to send me
the report as soon as possible."
The first district to send in a
report is number 49. , The teach
er is Miss Lillith McKenney,
and she writes the superinten
dent as follows:
"The pupils of the Band Bos
school are taking an active in
terest in the Benton County
Fair. They are making great
plans with their flower beds and
garden plots and are anxiously
waiting the time when weather
and seeds will permit them to
see more immediate results of
their efforts.
''Each one is hoping to be the
proud winner of some of the val
uable prizes which are offered."

THOUSANDS ARE COMING.
Tide of Immigration Sets In
"All Roads Lead to Oregon."
'AH roads lead to Oregon"
is the cry that is being sent up
from all sections of the state this
spring and Eastern echo answers
back "to Oregon." And to Ore
gon they are coming by the hun
dreds, to seek homes in the state
where cyclones and , blizztrds
come not to fret the inhabitant.
The cheap colon st rates went
into effect the first ot March, and
that they will be fr- itful of re
suits is certain. Residents of
Oregon have been writing to
eastern fritnd, "watch tor the
cheap rates," ana thev have wait
ed and watched and now the time
is at hand.
Corvallis will receive her share
of thfs immigration. The Citi
zens' League has all aloug " done
its full share towards directing at
tention to Benton countv, and
from the fl od of letters that has
resulted fiom this advertising
there i no ref son to donbt that
Corvallis and Benton county will
be the Mecca toward which many
an Easterner will . head when he
buys his tickets at some little
way station in Iowa, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas or the Dkotas.
These rates are being alvertised bv the
various railroads throughout the United
States, and this, augmented by the spec
ial effort of the Portland Commercial
Olub-Oregoo Development League cam
paign, will certainly put this State to the
forefront and result in a largely increased
population.
Beginning in the latter part of F ebru
ary, citizens of Portland and other places
in Oregon were buying tickets for their
friends in the East, and this can be accom
plished by depositing the cost of the tick
et with any agent throughout the entire
State of Oregon.
The business men and property hold
ers of the city of Portland are exceeding
ly enthusiastic relative to these low rates
and are liberally subscribing their money
to advertise the resources of Oregon.
Large display cards "ALL ROADS LEAD
TO OREGON" are being shown in the
windows of the stores and offices of Port
land, which give the details and particu
lars of the colonist rates, and there is no
other subject that is being more thorough
ly discussed. Never, until the present
occasion, has Oregon taken fall and com
plete advantage of this opportunity to
get increased immigration, and now that
the rates are available from such a vast
portion of the country, every commercial
organization in the state will certainly
improve the chance, by inducing the
people of the state to write letters to old
friends and old home papere, in ' which
they will give good and Sufficient reasons
why Oregon is the State in which taeet
