THE CilSUri'll'S OriMIIITIXlTV
Jn a short tlni the vulley will bo
filled with onstorn homo Bookers
brought here by the railroads as the
good old summer time draws near,
This is a good time for some of our
grouchy citizens to reform and ac
quire the habit of keeping still when
inclined to say something uncompli
mentary about the city or county.
or about those people whom they
may dislike. Lots of fairly good
p jople are given to expressing doubt
of this, that and the other situation,
and by dropping a word at the
wrong time can do irreparable harm
Thought should be given to this and
c are taken that no stranger within
the gate shall meet w ith an express
ion that is not enthusiastic. It this
is a good enough city and county, to
live in, it's sufficiently good to speak
well of at any and all times. The
citizen who cannot speak glowingly
of his home town, and is unwilling
to keep his grouch to himself, should
hike out for some other place. Cor
vallis will be glad to pay their trav
elling expenses of any and all of these.
Fortunately they are few, but there
are a goodly number who coijld well
afford to let a little more enthusiasm
soak into their systems. This is a
good time to practice up; put on the
eheery smile for awile, and let It get
well set, and then it wout wear off.
Such a smile is a cash asset. Corval
lis Daily Gazette-Times.
What is true in Corvallls and Ben
ton County is likewise true of Hepp
ner and Morrow County.
According to latest despatches th
Executive Committees of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific lines
have voted to continue double-track
Ing their lines from the Missouri
river to San Francisco, and also to
double-track the Oregon Short Line
from its junction with the Union
I'acilic main line at Granger, AVyo.,
to Huntinjrton. Ore. and the line
along the Columbia river to Port
land. These improvements contem
plate an outlay of 875,000,000, and
"Will be distributed over a period of
five years. Another report, which
appears to carry with it some weight
of plausibility, is that the O-W.R.&
K. Co. is about to move in the mat
ter of extending the Heppner branch
through to Vale thereby shortening
the distance between Portland and
Grainger at least 100 miles and sav
ing five or six hours time.
The company, as we understand
already has the right of way and
preliminary surveys have been made.
If this change is made all fast
through trains will pass this way,
and it will prove a decided benefit
to Morrow county. To our way of
. thinking this change must come
pome time and the sooner the better.
Meantime let Morrow County
grow! Don't kick but Boost.
The very wide extent of the work
of th! Oregon Aaricultural College is
shown in the report just submitted
by President Kerr touching the ac
tivity of the college during the two
year period of 190S-1910. He shows
thut during the past biennium, more
than 88,000 persons have actually
p irtkipated in the work carried on
by the college or under its direction
Many thousands more have been
supplied with bulletins issued by the
college, circulars and jersonal cor
resoondence. This shows what a
great factor this institution is in ad
vancing the agricultural, horticultu
ral and livestock interests of the
Htate.
