co-opERATwE SOCIETIES.

Ed. GAZETTE: A writer in the GAZETTE
Of July IL says: +" For years we have been
strongly impressed that industrial co-opera-
ton is one of the greatest needs of the peo-
pie of Oregon"
Are the people convinced Of this fact II
So, the time to act has come. It is the in
dnstrious who need cooperative methods.
Idlers would much prefer communism. But
if the so-called working classes can attain to
better conditions by combined labor, assoei-
ated capital, and more perfect fellowship
of intrrests, aims and aspirations, in the
name of all that is good, let us put forth
some organized effort to obtain it.
If this theory of reform be practical one,
it will strengthen the most vital part of our
social system, applied to home.making and
housekeeping. Domestic economy, as a
science, is deserving of more attention than
it has yet received. 1t is men, high-minded,
noble men, who make the State. The homes
are the foundation and the corner stone in
that structure, from whence government de-
rives its powers. If the State is found want
ing in strength and security and dignity, the
the fault must rest primarily with those who
build the homes. It is not enough that the
home be furnished with the wherewithal to
eat, to drink and to wear, though oftentimes
every energy of body, mind and soul is ex-
pended in securing these.
Little children gather beneath the home
roof These are "the heritage of the heart. "
They are endowed with undeveloped powers
and faculties, which demand appropriate
sustenance and culture. They toiR grow in
some direction. If not in the right way,
they must, of necessity, assimilate from un-
slightly and unholy surroundings that which
will mar and defOrm-not alone the outward
form and feature, but the lineaments of that
immortal spirit dwelling within the form.
And you, parents, if by stopping the ''sup-
plies" you arrest the growth Of your own
minds, you do it at your peril. See this
sorrowful record, from the pen of devoted
mother, one who has reared her children
with a careful hand, and now sees them (all
but one) happily settled around her in homes
of their own. In a letter to an intimate
friend she writes ''My children have gro,c',
a,ony from me. l have no society in them.
1t is not that they do not love me it is not
that they are unkind, but they take SO little
interest in the themes which fill my thoughts,
and the occupations and amusements which
absorb and delight them cannot enter into.
The reading which like, they care nothing
about, and the books they read, cannot un-
derstand. My little Eddie loves mother's COM
pdny just as well as ever, but he is a student
now. with mind powers expanding fast.
Very soon he will betake the others, and /
shall be-childless.
You who are toiling now to "educate
your children" that they may be- fitted to
take honorable positions on life's battle
field, it is your privilege to keep, not only
abreast of them in the march Of intellect,
but in advance. Find through cooperative
associations the time and means for mental
improvement and self-culture. FL.

wesTsIpE RAILROAD.

Hon. F. A. Chenoweth, III brief article,
in another column, expresses our sentiments
precisely upon the Westside railroad ques'
tion. The matter has been discussed, suffi-
ciently, before public meetings, and now
rests with the City Council. 1t is for that
honorable body to act, not simply as indi-
viduals, but for the best interests of the en-
tire corporation. Corvallis is the shiretowi
of Benton county, and whatever affects its
interests, for good or i'll, affects the entire
county. The present business of the city is
confined principally to one street, and will
be for several years, probably. Should the
railroad p,ss along Water street. which is
how used for warehouses and residences, it
would have tendency to concentrate busi-
ness to the river, and unite the entire city.
Let the depots be placed in the rear OF the
city and diverse interests begin to develop,
new warehouses, business houses, and busi-
ness centers will Immediately spring up.
and the present business portions of the city
will suffer material loss. AS proof of this
statement, you have only to look at Salem
and Albany. To-day those cities would be
far in advance of what they are had the de-
pots been placed in the business portions of
the towns. Hundreds of people would stop
at the hotels, and spend money, in various
ways, who now pass Immediately through
those towns. So it will be in Corvallis.
There should be no unpleasant feelings en-.
gendered between the city and the railroad.
Our interests are mutual and what is good
for the railroad is not bad for the corpora
tion.
From present Indications, the railroad
managers and our City Council are each
standing on their dignity, each waiting for
the mountain " to come to them" This is
all wrong Corvallis needs railroads more
than anything else, and the securing of one,
through the heart of the city, makes the
second one certainty. But let the West
side stop two miles short of Corvallis,
or 60 two miles west of it, and it will
be worse than struck with crust" Now is
the time for our City Fathers to assume a
little responsibility. Delays are dangerous.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1879-09-05
WEsTsIpE q. q. DEPOT.

This is the great question with which the
citizens of Corvallis are now wrestling, and
one of very grave Importance. 1t is quite
evi lent that is quite impracticabie to accede
to the demands of Mr.. Koehler's former
letter, and therefore it is necessary to look
in some other direction. We do not think
that the Westside company will care to run
track the entire length of the city, ON a
back street, if they can secure available
grounds for shops, turn tables, depots, ETC.,
at the lower, or north end of the city.
In conversation with Mr.. Sol. King, yes.
terday, he informed us that the sawmill
property-twenty-s six lots-also the dwell
ing house, adjoining, belonging to F. E.
Robinson, four lots more, could all be had
on very reasonable terms-not to exceed
four thousand dollars. This would be suf-
ficieut ground for all practicable purposes,
and leave the old mill building to be used
for shop.
There are many reasons why it would be
better for the railroad, the citizens of Cor
wallis. and the public generally, that the de-
pot should be on Main or Second street,
with switch along Water street to the
warehouses. In the first place, this street
is already graveled, which is quite an item
In the winter time. 1t would be almost i'm
possible for loaded teams to get from the
business part of the city to the back streets
after the rainy season legins. In the sec.
ond place depot at that point would ac-
commodate the entire city, better than any
other place, for the reason that passengers
could reach the hotels without carriage, and
the backing and switching of trains would
be sufficiently remote from the business
part of the city not to interfere with teams.
There are various other reasons why we
would favor the depot at the north end OF
town.
We have no doubt if committee of citi.
zens, or members of the Council, were ap.
pointed to meet Mr.. Koehler, that some ar.
rangement could be made SO as to amicably
settle this much vexed question. Who will
move in this matter? Whatever is done,
should be done Immediately.

THE OREGON EXHIBIT.

The Oregon exhibit at the Mechanics
Fair in San Francisco, does ample Justice to
our State, and to Paul Schulze, of the Land
Department of the O. & G. Railroad, is the
credit due. At San Francisco Jack Shep-
pard, an old friend to web-foot, has charge
of the exhibit and furnishes information
daily to hundreds in relation to wonderful
Oregon. Mr.. Prank Dekum, who visited the
fair at San Francisco, says that the Oregon
department is visited by hundreds of tour
lists from various parts of the world, all of
whom were loud in the praise of our pro-
ducts. One farmer from Kentucky sent to
this city for seed which he will take back
home with h1m and test its producing quail
tiles in that State. We believe that if seed
wheat was brought from the east to Oregon
it would produce as heavy as did the grain
fields of twenty years ago. The Oregon ex-
hibit will be divided up and portion of it
sent to Melbourne and portion to Los
Angeles. Portland Bee.
