library, the church will then.,
turn over to the library board ''
all .the books that may have been
accumulated and this will be a
nucleus for what promises to be
one of the most prominent and
certainly the most desirable in-
stitutions in the city. '
Corvallis needs a well equipped
public library. The constantly
growing population" and the
presence here of hundreds of in-;
telligent young people all call
for such an institution and it
could be provided at a nominal
cost, with every certainty of con
stant growth and liberal patron-
age. j

Suitable and Convenient ! ery city in the state of the size!
of this, has its public library I
and there is no good reason why
one should not be maintained
here.
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

The city ordinance regulating
the riding of bicycles specifically
states that there shall not be
any riding permitted upon the
sidewalks of either Second or
Madison streets. Either tnrough
ignorance of the statute or wil
fully, the ordinance is being re
peatedly violated, especially on
Madison street, frequent arrests
being made and fines imposed
for so doing: Every resident of

to learn about the municipal
regulation in this respect.
