NO EXCUSE FOR HOSTILITY
Petty RiyalrIes Between Neighbor
Towns Are Silly, Says Corr
wallis Times.

The following editorial from the
Corvallis Times contains so much
good common sense that it should be
printed and reprinted in every news
paper in Oregon
"An Albany fraternal order came to
Corvallis last Sunday to worship.
The visit was an expression of good
fellowship. 1t was an incarnation of
friendly relation. The exchange OF
friendly visits by the fraternal orders
in the two towns is frequent. 1t is the
embodied absence of feudism and the
disappearance Of hostile rivalry. The
petty rivalries common to towns and
cities similarly situated as are Cor
Wallis and Albany, are silly. They
are too small to be encouraged. There
is room and plenty Of it for both.
There is enough trouble in the world
anyway, without the canker worm Of
intertown hostility of which there are
so frequent and so Illuminating
manifestations. There is scarcely
ever excuse for it, aud never honor in
feeding and keeping it alive.
ut is better in the sight of God and
man for one town to help build the
other up instead Of seeking to drag it
down. A cordial relation is pleasur-
able for both, and the feud relation
bitter for both. Mutual good feeling
and kindness is testamentary to the
common sense and the opposite signi-
tles more or less of petty mindedness
in both.
1T is good day for Corvallis and
for Albany when their fraternal
orders lead the way for mutual
esteem. May all the good people in
both towns follow the example,"

CRUSHED ROCK is BETTER
Gravel Superior to Mid as Road
Surface Material, But Lacks
Lasting Qualities.

my, Myi If we just had these
gravel beds in our statel' exclaimed
a Wisconsin farmer as he rode over a
Willamette Valley bridge spanning a
creek whose shores we're covered with
fine gravel to a depth OF several feet.
Your Oregon farmers do not appre-
ciate the advantages they have in
making permanent road improve
ments," he continued. IF we had
gravel like that close to our highways,
as you have here In the Willamette
Valley, we would have most Of our
roads surfaced with it in short order.
! am surprised that more Oregon
roads are not covered with it.
The Wisconsin man overestimates
the value Of river gravel as road
surface material. While it makes a
surface far superior to mud, 1t Is
much inferior to crushed rock for per-
manent improvement. Its greatest
advantage is in its proximity to the
roads and the consequent cheapness
Of placing it upon highways. AS the
gravel is round and smooth, it loosens
under travel and gradually sinks into
the mud. Crushed rock, having
sharp corners and straight edges,
packs together and presents a
smoother surface the longer it is sub
jected to the wear Of travel. At the
same time, the Wisconsin man is
right when he says that In the gravel
beds Oregon has a great advantage
over such states as Wisconsin in per-
manent road improvements. Oregon

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never
were the demands of business, the
wants of the family, the requirements
OF society, more numerous. The first
effect of the praiseworthy effort to
keep up with all these things Is com
monty seen in a weakened or debil-
itated condition of thenervous system,
which results iA dyspepsia, defective
nutrition of both body and brain, and
in extreme cases In complete nervous
prostratlon. 1t is clearly seen that
what is needed is what will sustain
the system, give vigor and tone to the
nerves, and keep the digestive and
assimilative functions healthy and
active. From personal knowledge, we
can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla
for this purpose. IL acts on all the
vital organs, builds up the whole sys-
tenn, and fits men and women for
these high-pressure days.
