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

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.
