Social Equality in Cambridge.

G4lUaEFtJ
Before Longfellow bought the house
in Cambridge so associated with his
memory it was owned and occupied
by old Mrs. Craigie.
Mrs. Craigie was woman Of many
eccentricities, Moncure D. Conway
says in his recent book of "Reminis-
cences."
Some one once tried to persuade her
to have her trees tarred to protect
them from caterpillars, which also In
vaded her neighbours trees.
She refused to be so cruel to the
caterpillars.
"They are our fellow worms" she
said.

NATIONAL WEALTH.

Statistics snow that in 1890 the
value of the agricultural products
of the United States, in round
numbers, was at the rate of
So, 900, 100000 a year, and our
mineral and manufactured prod
ucts $4,000, 900, 900, or a total
of $13, 900, 100000. Our farms
are now yielding over ,$5, ,000,-
1000, 900, and our mines and fac
tories about $1,000, 100000 a
total of $50, 900, 100000 a year.
The output Of our farms, mines
and mills is annually exceeding
by about 81, 900, 600, 900 their out
iput fourteen years ago. An in
creased volume Of general busi-
ness, railroad traffic and other
business activities in like proper
portion are seen everywhere
Throughout the land. The in
crease of our population is about
25 per cent every decade, but the
volume of business Of all kinds
increases more rapidly than pop

ulation.

A bill is now before the legis-
lature for appropriating $4,000
to be used in dredging the chan
mel Of the Willamette up as far
as this city. This is certainly
a measure that should be acted
upon favorably by this legisla-
ture. It has been ascertained
that if such an appropriation is
made by the state, the general
government will allow the gov
ernment dredge for this work.
It will not take such an enormous
amount of work to deepen the
shallow places in the river, but
what work is required at all is
needed badly, and should be
started as soon as possible. By
making a deeper channel in a
few places this side Of Salem,
the light draught steamers could
reach Albany and Corvallis the
year round, which would be of
inestimable value to both cities
and the surrounding country.

In the meeting of the city coun-
Gil last Friday evening, Council
man Emery asked who was to be
named as the nine men to be
placed in charge of the task of
building the municipal water
works, as mentioned in the pre-
posed amendment of the city
charter. He was told that
this was to be decided later.
Now when the proper time comes
to fix this proposition up, it
seems that the most satisfactory
way to decide on who are to
be named as this committee of
nine, would be to hold a mass
meeting of the citizens, so that
all can have a say in the matter.
This is an important question
and should be decided by the
people.

Healthiest Point on Coast.

S. N. Wilkins, deputy county
health officer of Benton county,
has just made up his annual re-
port for the year 1904, and sent
it to the Health Department. at
Washington, D. c. The report
makes an excellent showing for
this vicinity from a health stand
point, and it would be most
difficult to find a section of coun-
try more healthful than this
county.
A report is required from each
county health officer at the end
of every year, and goes to make
up the general health statistics of
the United States and also to
show the healthfulness of each
county and state in the Union.
According to the census of 1900
the official population of Cor
wallis was 1870. Taking that
as a basis the estimated population
of Corvallis at present is 2, 500.
Mr.. Wilkins report shows that
the total number of deaths, from
|all causes, accidents, infectious
diseases, ETC., for infants and
adults together, is only Is dur
ing the year 1904 This makes
the death rate for Corvallis 7.2
Iper thousand population. There
was no death caused by tuber.
culosis, and none from any con-
tagious disease.
