To THE PoINr.-The Corvallis Times,
one of the most outspoken papers In the
State, tllks in the following manner al
bany has always been triae larger than
CORVALLIS, yet near enough in Size to create
a feeling of rivalry. The one town has
had no advantage over the other, so far as
location or any natural superiority IS con-
cerned, and until the past two years Cor
wallis has kept close to Albany's heels In
public and private improvements. But Al
bany has lately experienced boom and she
has forged ahead while Corvallis sat idly
by waiting for something to turn up that
will never turn. In consequence Albany
Is town, Corvallis Is a hamlet. She Is to-
day So far ahead of Corvallis In appear
anccs that there Is no comparison. We
| perhaps do about as much business as our
sister city, but her enterprising men have
shown their public spiritedness and con
fidence in their town by making some i'm
/ provements that would be a credit 10 city
| of greater pretentions. Corvallis should
rub her eyes and wake up."
