JEWISH FESTIVAL.
Begins Tonight w eek of Heb
rev Rejoicing.

Members of the Hebrew race
in Albany and throughout the
world will observe the Jewish
"Feast of the Passover" whicl
begins at sunset Friday and con-
tinues seven days. The feast is
in commemoration of the escape
Of the Israelites from Egypt.
While there will b. no services
in Albany by LEGAL Jews. the
synagogues i'll Portland will
hold special services aud mum.
Der 0: the Henrsws here are plan
ming to attend the observance OF
the festival in Portland. Devou5
Hebre ws in Albany are arrang
ing the prescribed dishes which
are to be eaten, exclusive of
other food, during the week that
follows the commencement OF tue
Passover feast. At sunset
week from Friday the feast will
end.
The passover Feast" takes
its nare from Biblical history,
when God, shifting he frst-born
OF the Egyptians passed over
the houses of the Israelites, which
were N marked with the blood of
the paschal lamb. 1t is cele-
brated from the sunset of the 18th
of the Jewish month, Nison,
until sunset of the 21st of Nlsou.
during which period the Israel
ties were permitted to eat only
unleavened bread. Hence the
passover is known as the "feast
OF unleavened bread"
The eating of unleavened
bread has come to be associated
with the haste of Israelitts hst-
ing out of Egypt, when they
could not wait for the dough to
undergo the slow process OF Ieav-
euing before baking the bread.
O.her dishes, representative of
the hardsnips of the Exodus,

ed menu of the feast.-Herald.

Sliding 0swn Hill.

Berkeley is sliding dowa hill,
according to a dispatch from
there Wednesday, which says:
A large portio4 OF Cedar street
near Euclid avenue, betravs a
marked tendency to slide down
hill. Several houses have been
put out of plumb, the founda-
tons have loosened and water
and gas mains have been broken
by the moving earth.
Engineers saw that the slide is
due to the displacement of the
earth's surface from a stone
strata beneath, as result OF the
steady seepage during the heavy
rains. The trustees were iuform-
ed that. the gas company had
said that the service would have
to be discontinued in the sliding
section if the trouble is not re-
medied a. once, as the mains are
being spoiled bv the moving
earth and great quantities of gas
are escaping.
The entire hill is slowly but
steadily moving aud a block of
residences are in grave danger.

oAc's PRESIDENT.
And What is Said of Him-Com-
ment of the Press.

A new president is to be select
ed for the State Agricultural
College at Corvallis. 1t is of
very great Importance that the
choice be wisely made. The
magnificent endowment pro- ided
by the national government for
the support of the institution
gives it power for immense USE
fulness to the state. Within the
next few years the endowment
will reach a maximum of $780,
900 a year, which under the acts
of congress, can only be expend-
ed for salaries of instruction.
The government directs also that
the money shall be applied only
for instruction of agricultural,
mechanical, civil, electrical, min
ing, irrigation and other engi-
neering courses, the English
language and natural, physical,
mathematical and economic
science with special reference to
their application to the indus
tries Of life, and instructions
therein. It's a field of educa-
ton and research that can be
made of vast utilitarian value to
Oregon. The almost boundless
area of fertile fields, the various
agricultural industries, the cleo
trical power to be brought from
mountain streams and harnessed
to industry, the unguessed min
eral wealth of the mountains,
the limitless forests and other
manifold resources, need trained
hands and quickened brains to
develop and devote them to the
growth of the state and enrich
ment of the people.
The executive officer of an in
stitution with such a scope should
be by nature and training in
harmony with its mission. He
should be as big as his position
and as big as the field. It is a
place for giant, so TO speak
and no place for a Lilliputian. It
is a field of science, and the man
to be set to work in it should be
scientific. The biggest and best
man in the United States would
be none too good, and to secure
president at least approximating
that standard, the regents should
direct their energies. Anything
less would be a mistake. Port.

SHALL CORVALLIS DO IT?
Thoughts Concerning Spring
Housec.eaning.

Other towns throughout the
Valley are beginning to put on
their dust caps and aprons.
igureatively speaking, prepar-
atory to the usual spring clean
ing up. These clea ning-up days
are beco niag ann ual events and
result in vast am ount of good
to the cities observing them, but
for some reason Corvallis has
made no move, so far as report
ed, towards such observance this
spring. The question is, why ?
Last year a day was set apart
for the purpose but because OF
stormy weather the work was
several times postponed until
interest waned and when a fav-
orable day arrived it seemed i'm
possible to revive tagging en-
thusiasm, the results falling far
short of what they should and
might have been. In spite of this,
however, several drays were
kept busy all day carting away
rubbish from pre- misses that
otherwise would have remained
disorderly, so who shall say how
much good was done, after all,
by the movement for a general
housecleaning?
The question is, why not have
a similar day this year, with
about double the enthusiasm,
everybody making the matter
personal and going. at the work
Systematically, with all eye to
the general good of the commun-
ity to say nothing of the bene-
fits to be derived from more
sanitary conditions and a cleaner
and more attractive city.
Co wallis seems peculiarly re-
sponsible in matters of this kind
because of the people from
abroad who come annually to
make their homes within her
hospitable borders for nine
months of the twelve. AS a
housewife parades her best tabl e
linen, silver and china for the
honored guest, and feels it a duty
she ownes, so 10 al residents, it
would seem, should leave moth
ing undone that would add to
the healthfulness and beauty of
this little city, because not only
the "home folks'' but hundreds
of visitors come to see and to
experience, then go, to spread
the good or the bad that is true
of conditions in Corvallis.
Shall Corvallis fall in line
again this spring ard cleanup?
Shall church and fraternal or.
ganizations, clubs, leagues,
business men, citizens and
school children join in the task
for one big, busy day? Or shall
the accumulations of a year re-
main untouched, while alleys
and trash heaps stand as wit
nesses of the city's untidiness,
while other towns are busily US
ling the muck rake?"

The Lake.

There is no definite news as to the
lake. The outside capitalists and the
local officers of the lake company are in
almost daily communication. Many
kilograms and long-distance telephone
messages have oeen exchanged but the
capitalists are unable to give, de-
finite reply, as yet 1t is believed,
however, that the prospects are still
bright. there being absolutely neSauth-,
ority for the statement beng circulated
that the lake would not be built. Pend
ing the capitalists decision, lake affairs
are simply at standstill. :.
In fact, it is quite safe to say that the
lake will be built, and without doubt
will be built by the present group Of
capitalists represented by Mr.. 4. @,
Williams, jr. It is entirely likely that
/ operations will begin inside of sixty
days.
There are many interesting specula-
tions regarding the big enterprise.
Every man in town is ready to demon
strate with pad and pencil that the pro-
moters are either going to make b mill
lion or lose two million dollars The
amount of s'inslde information" Aoat-
ing around town is quite remarkable,
when as matter of fact no official news
has been given out, altho' there is little
doubt but that there soon will be.
Necessarily, much time is required In q
dno Of hio 40 fI
details cannot be gone over in day.
One enthusiast has it figured out the
demand for the lots will far exceed the
supply. He says with the wood cleared
off and the dam built and the wsfer
actually covering the land, the proper
ty will sell. itself almost tssis figured
out by this same man that the company
will have only about 800 lots to sell, for
which they could easily ask $4,000 each
and that this small number may soon be
disposed of. Mr.. T. G.. Williams, at the
last lake meeting stated his company
would be several years disposing of the
whole property. Another interesting
speculation is this; If the present
scheme is financially successful. there is
talk of building still another dam at
Balfour, which would make q lake fully
as beautiful as the one low planned.
However all this Is mere guess work,
and what the whole town wants to know
is ''Is the lake going to be built?'
It is of interest to note that the engl-
neers on the A. 1. r. r. have been
ordered to make their surveys conform
to the plans of the lake survey, as to
bridges, etc.
The Southern Railway has as yet
given no definite indication of just what
they propose to do about new bridge
and elevation of their tracks. altho'
information along that line is expected
daily.
