RIKIIT AdnWUtrator of th etita ot Albert Denny.de- Zisrolf keep) all kinds ?f ! grsM sewd for ! clover SHALL CORVALLIS DO IT? Thoughts Concerning Spring Housecleaning. Other towri3 throughout tha Valley are beginning to pat on their dust caps and aprons, fijureatively speaking, prepar atory to thi usual spring clean in? up. Taase cleaning-up days are b323Taii? annual events and result in a vast amount of good to the citie3 observing them, but for some reason Corvallis has made no move, so far as report ed, towards such observance tnis spring. Tha question is, why? Last year a day wa3 set apart for the purpose but because of stormy weather the work was several times postponed until interest waned and when a fav orable day arrived it seemed im possible to revive flagging en thusiasm, the results falling far short of what they should and might have been. In spite of this, however, several- drays were kept busy all. day carting away rubbish from premises that otherwise would have remained disorderly, so who shall say how much good was done, after all, by the movement for a general housecleaning? The question is, why not have a similar day this year, with about double the enthusiasm, everybody making the matter personal and going at the work systematically, with an eye to the general good of the commun ity to say nothing of , the bene fits to be derived from more sanitary conditions and a cleaner and more attractive city. Co vallis seem3 peculiarly re sponsible in matters of this kind because of the people from abroad who come annually to make their homes within her hospitable borders for nine months of the twelve. As a housewife parades her best table linen, silver and china for the honored guest, and feels it a duty she ownes, so lo '&l residents, it would seem, should leave noth ing undone that would add to the healthf ulness and beauty of this little city, because not only the "home folks" but hundreds of visitors come to see and to experience, then go, to spread the good or the bad that is true of conditions in Corvallis. Shall Corvallis fall in line again this spring and clean-up? Shall church and fraternal or ganizations, clubs, leagues, business men, citizens and school children join in the task for one big, busy day? Or shall the accumulations of a year re main untouched, while alleys and trash heaps stand as wit nesses of the city's untidiness, while other towns are busily us ing the "muck rake?" Prisoners Go Free. Under the provisions of the rules and regulations of indeter minate sentences being served by convicts at the penitentiary; 11 prisoners were released oh parole Tuesday afternoon bv or der of the G3Vernor, counter signed bv Superintendent James, Parole Officer St Pierce and Warden .Cu.tis of the state prison, says the Oregonian. The crimes of the pat. oiled pris mers vary trom larceny, arson, burg lary to obtaining money under false pretenses and milder of fenses. The new code of rules ad regulations for patrolling prison ers serving indeterminate senten ces was adopted March i, 19 7 and is very stnngent. Etch person released mast report hi? arrival at destinatioa on leaving the prison immediately to the superintendent; must not leavr the bounds of the state utiles; granted special -permission; mus abstain entirely from drinking: make monthly reports of what he is doing, and is -signed by hirn with the understanding that upot violation of same ' the patrol car, be revoked at any time. The names o the prisoners are not made public, for the rea son given by Governor Cham heriain that as so'Jh as a mm is released, he is hounded to death by the polic, who either arrest him on suspicion or warn the ex-convict's employers who he is, and in several instances late ly the Governor has received pitiful letters from the released men who complain bitterly tnat the police would not let them alone. OAC'S PRESIDENT. And What Is Said of Him Com ment of the Press. A new president is to be select ed for the State Agricultural College at Corvallis. It is of very great importance that the choice be wisely made. The magnificent endowment pro ided by the national government for the support of the institution gives it power for immense use fulness to the state. Within the next few years the endowment will reach a maximum of $60, 000 a year, which under the acts of congress, can only be expend ed for salaries of instruction. The government directs also that the money shali be applied only for instruction of agricultural, mechanicla, civil, electrical, min ing, irrigation and . other engi neering courses, the English anguage and natural, physical, mathematical and . economic science with special reference to their application to the indus tries of life, and instructions therein. It is a field of educa tion and research that can be' made of vast utilitarian value to Oregon. The , almost boundless area of fertile fields, the various agricultural industries, the elec trical power to be brought from mountain streams and harnessed to industry, the unguessed min eral wealth of the mountains, the limitless forests and other manifold resources, need trained hands and quickened brains to develop and devote them to the growth of the state and enrich ment of the people. The executive officer of an in stitution with such a scope should be by nature and training in harmony with its mission. He should be as big ay his position and as big as the field. It is a place for a giant, so to speak. and no place for a Lilliputian. It is a field of science, and the man to be set to work in it should be scientific. The biggest and best man in the United States would be none too good, and to secure a president at least approximating that standard, the regents should direct their energies. Anything less would be a mistake. Port land Journal Editorial. The roof , is about completed on the skating rink and the place seems about ready for business. The patent sheet roofing was need. . .

JEWISH FESTIVAL Begins To-night -Week of Heb rew Rejoicing. Members ot the Hebrew race in Albany and throughout the world will observe the Jewish "Feast of the Passover," whic:i begins at sunset Friday and con tinues seven days. The feast is in commemoration of the escape of the Israelites from Egypt. While there will b no services in Albany by iccal Jews, the , synagogues in Portland will hold special services and a num ber of the Henrews here are plan ning to attend t'ie observance ot the festival in Portland. Devou: Hebrews in Alb.iny are arrang ing the prescribed dishes whicti are to be eaten, . exclusive of. other food, during the week that follows the commencement ot tje Passover feast. At sunset a week from Friday the feast will end. The "Passover Feast" takes its narre from Biblical history, when God, smiting .he first-bora ot the Egyptians "passed over the houses of the Israelites, which were marked with the blood of the paschal lamb. It is cele brated from the sunset of the 15th of the Jewish month, Nison, until sunset of the 2 1st of Nison. during which period the Israel ites were permitted to eat only unleavened bread. Hence the passover is unown as the "feast ot unleavened bread." The eating of unleavened bread has come to be associated with the baste of Israelites flut ing out of Egypt, when t.'iey could not wait for the dough 10 undergo the slow process of leav ening before baking ttie bread. O.her dishes, representative of the hardsnips of tbe Exodus, are also included ir. the prescrib ed menu of the feast. Herald. Sliding D:wii Hiil. Berkeley is sliding diwa hill, according to a dispatch from there Wednesday, which says: A large portion of Cedar street near Euclid avenue, betrays a marked tendency to slide down hill. Several houses have been put out of plumb, the founda tions have loosened and water and gas mains have been broken by the moving earth. Engineers sav that the slide is due to the displacement of the earth's surface from a stone strata beneath, as a result ot the steady seepage during the heavy rains. The trustees were inform ed that, the gas company had said that the service would have to be discontinued in the sliding section if the trouble is not re medied at once, as the mains are being spoiled by the moving earth and great quantities of gas are escaping. The entire hill is slowly but steadily , moving aud a block of residences are in grave danger. The 1 for Job Work
