The pastor and members of the First Congregational church are deserving of the greatest credit and entitled to the thanks of the people of Corvallis for making the initial move in the project of securing a public li brary for this city. At the service last Sunday morning, Rev. Evan Hughes, Mrs. Kidder, librarian at OAC, and Prof. J. C. Bridwell made stirring addresses to the congre gation on the necessity of pro viding mental food for the pub lic and pointed out the good that would result from a well stocked and carefully managed library to which the young and old could have free access. With the eneigy and liberali ty characteristic of the congre gation, the idea was at once commended and a fund of over $125 raised to start the good work. This amount, together with all contributions that can be secured for the purpose, will be used in the purchase of books and the library will be opened in the church at as early a date as possible for the use of the public. When the city shall have tak en steps to provide suitable and Resolutions of Respect. Whereas, The All-wise God has called from our midst the son of one of our beloved sisters, Mrs. W. G.
