The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1883-05-25

In our last issue we suggested the
propriety of uniting our two school
districts in Corvallis making one dis
trict of the two, and then build a
suitable building for making the dis
triet school a graded one. We be-
lieve this move would certainly be
beneficial to the school interests Of
this place and county, and will have
tendency to attract many more
people here for purposes Of educa-
tion. We would then not only have
one of the best colleges in the State
here, but we could also have a good
graded school and by increasing the
facilities for education here, in this
way itsswould certainly be a great
benefit to the college as we'll as to
the district school. The more you
increase the facilities for education
i'm aplace the more persons you can
attract from a distance to the place
seeking to benefit their families by
such facilities. The best way to
build up a to- wn giving to,it a per-
manent and healthy growth is to in
crease its facilities for education and
for manufacturing. We have
often announced that~the coIums of
the GAZETTE are open for a proper
discussion of all subjects OF public
interest, no matter whether that dis
eusslon in measure comes opposed
to cur views. A public journal
seeking for the truth and to arrive
at proper understanding of ma: ters
of public interest, whether it be upon
political questions, school matters or
something of different nature,
should always be ready to publish
fair discussion of such questions al
though it may be directly adverse
to its views. This question of
schools being one of great import
ance to everyone one, 1 would be
pleased to publish the views.' of 9th
ers on both sides if there be any diff
ference Of opinion on the subject.

TIE urILIrY on WooLEN MILLS.


The following we clip from the
| editorial columns of the Orego''ao''
of recent date. As it ILLUSTRATED
what the Oregon City woolen mills
have done for Oregon City, we want
the people of Corvallis and vicinity
to think of what a woolen mill would
do for Corvallis if we had one:
"The wooden mills at Oregon City furnish
an excellent example of the advantages o.
home manufacture. They employ about
l5O laborers all The year round, and theil
profits have enriched two or three firms
One hundred of their workmen have beer
whites, who have, by their labor, gained
support and comfortable homes. Theil
goods have won place in the markets, and
their trade mark ranks with the best. The
owners buy and use a million or more
pounds of Oregon wool per year and clothe
ten to twenty thousand people. The money
is kept and spent among ourselves. The
monthly wages paid Of $4,000 or more fur.
Fnish circulating medium Of ten times that
sum in the course of trade and exchange.
The loss of that one mill by fire and the
stop of six months to rebuild was a public
calamity. Had it not been rebuilt the town
of Oregon City would have lost half its
value" = =.
Who will be the first person in
Corvallis to take hold of this ques-
Etion for the purpose of ascertaining
whether company can be formed
at Corvallis for the purpose of build
ing wooden mill !? Don't every
body take hold of it at once. In Or
der to get the opinion Of fothers, we
invite correspondence from all parts
of the county upon this subject. It
will not cost you anything to write
upon the subject as we VIII publish
them freely. -
We have among the best schools
in the State at Corvallis, established
here by the generosity of the State.
Why can not we go to work now
and do something ourselves for the
benefit of the town and county
Wake up Don't go to sleep, but be
up and dong for time is passing and
We are all growing old ard unless
we 60 to work with eternal vigilance
at these things many of US will be
gray headed and compelled to pass
on to another sphere before what
ought to, will be accomplished. Let
US hear from everybody.

On gaining the street, Cecil ran
swiftly as a deer, scarcely looking
whittier she WAS going. Yet lucki-
ly, she took the right direction, and
came out into Fulton street, whore
she was obliged to stop to inquire
the way.
A police gave the seeded informa-
ton, CHANGING quizzicaIly at the
"Biddy."
Once inside the stage, sho felt
safe.
Tom Black and George Newton
left the saloon directly after her.
The former yelled to her to stop,
but rs she did not, desisted from
following her, and turned his al
tention to George.
"She'S gone ~ he exclaimed.
"Come in here out Of the way, or
some Of the gang may follow and
nab us !"
He dragged George into the re,
cess of a doorway, where the light
from the street lamp did not strike.
"Where has she gone2' asked
George.
"Don't know" replied Tom.
"Lost sight Of her in the dark.
Guess she'll get along, thou gh,
longs she's out of that informal den.
If she gets away this time, "I'll

The thing was done so quickly
