ton for Authorities.

Within two or three weeks, the
Mountain water. system will be
completed and ready for operation.

one of the public conditions to
which every citizen will point with
pride. The clear sparkling water
from this mountain stream on Ma
rvs Peak will be one Of the things
that the visitor in town, when once
brought in contact with it, will
commend not only here, but other
where.
All this being true. the conclusion
to follow is axiomatic,-there
should be public drinking fountains
where our own people and where
our neighboring farmers and the
stranger within our gates will have
our splendid water, ever convenient
for use. There should be such a
fountain in the court house park.
There ought to be such a fountain
on the public school grounds. The
college authorities should provide
and maintain one on the college
grounds. At two or three points
on the chief business street of the
town fountains should be placed.
Some of them should not only pro-
vide water for human beings. but
for the teams that are driven about
the streets. Such place would be
of infinite convenience to the farm
ers who come to Corvallis to do bus
mess. Even as much as people
love good. pure water, so do horses
and likewise the dogs. Such foun-
tains of all designs are provided in
the market. They cost from 900
upward, very nice and very dur
able, ones being available for $15o.
Of course the cost of the more beau.
tiful and elaborate ones runs into
the thousands of dollars.
There ought to be no trouble in
finding means for adorning Corval.
lis with these fountains. Perhaps
Our weather. residents will put ur
some of them at their own expense
No more fitting gift to our town
could be made, and none chat would
be so deeply appreciated or OF more
lasting benefit. If the people joir
in an agitation for these fountains
the fountains will be provided, and
the Times suggests that the people
join.
