How to Keep Them.

1 The citizens OF Corvallis an
Benton county have expended 81.
hundred and fifty dollars in none,
besides good deal of personal ei
fort to advertise this county in tn
East. Men are coming here every
day to look for homes. Exeursiol
and commoa-point rates which g
into effect in the spring are sure {,
briag large influx of immigrants
who have been headed this way by
our advertising among Eastern
people.
TO get home-seekers here is i'm.
portant; to keep them here after
they have come is of vastly NOR.
Importance.
The most desirable class of i'm.
migrants are men Of intelligence
and means, who will not camp or
the spot where they get off the train
regardless of inducements. They
will canvass the valley and state,
and, if seeking a home in town,
locate where residences and their
grounds look neat and well kept;
where the business streets are lined
with good buildings and not dis
figured by unsightly ,shacks; where
light, water and sewer systems are
adequate; where streets and side
walks are good and kept in re-
pair; where the people are wide
awake, energetic, enthusiastic; in
spired with faith in their city or
town and ready to uphold and de-
fend it on all occasions. -
No town can expect an Eastern
man of sufficient judgment and dis
cretion to make a desirable citizen
to launch out Immediately upon
his arrival, buy property, erect
buildings, and improve things gen
orally, unless he sees that the old
of sufficient means have
confidence enough in the place to
begin that kind of work. If the
owner of property offered for sale
has not deemed it profitable and ex-
pedient to keep the buildings paint,
the fences up, the lawn sodded and
the place generally inviting by a
few of those simple and inexpensive
embellishments which distinguish
between a home and a mere stop
ping place, what is the likelihood of
his finding purchaser at a rea-
sonable figure.
We need not deceive ourselves.
The impetus which is to start the
town out on a period of improve
ment and prosperity is not coming
from the outside, it must start from
within. Such a movement may
gain aceeleration from abroad, but
it must start from home.
Unless united and persistent ef-
fort be made by our own people to
make Corvallis place to be desired
a neat, thriving, up-to-date city the
incoming throng of desirable per.
sons will come and go and we will
be no better off for their coming.
