Next January a road supervisor will be ap pointed in each district of tbe county by the court. The late legislature changed the law to this effect. It was only a few years ago that the legis lature changed the system from ap pointment by the court to election by the people or supervisors. The leg islature is so notionate about him that the average road supervisor mnst be" a man of lightning changes, a sort of now-you-see-him, novyou-don't-see him individual. There are numerous other changes to the roadlawbut the a . . act is so long mat noDoay nas yet j discovered what they are. . --Tickets tor the excursion will soon be on sale. - - , I Few people ever enjoyed the lux ury of a trip around the world. .

It looks as though pretty much everybody about Corvallis may ride in a buggy or carriage this summer. Local dealers seem to be receiving an unusual number of vehicles, and an ngent is heie with a stock from an Iowa factory. Home factories are al eo dlepot-log ot a considerable num ber of light rigs. . ..

" A good beginning has been made on the Hotel Corvallis improvements recently outlined ia Tbe Times. Mon day two carpenters began on the wocd work and two others were busy re moving what was left of the eld. plas tering. Ed Felton has the contract for replastering the first and second fliors and the material for the pur-" pose was expected yesterday. H. W. Grimehaw Is looking after the Im provements. Adam Aesell brought with him from tbe bay a fine specimen of, tbe Arctic loon. This bird has quite an attractive plumage, its back and sides being black, flecked with white; tbe breast is snow white, the neck is gird led witii white, and plumage of the bead is brilliantly colored and cbaoge-. able. Boy Woodcock Is mounting the bird, and when completed It will stand two and a half feet high. . Dennis Stovall Is a Banton coun ty product. He may have been born in Texas, but he was not long enough there to hurt. . He was educated in Corvallis public schools and the OAO. Early he took to writing stories, and now they find ready sale, with a doz en magazines. Three stories will ap pear in tbe Overland Monthly thlb summer. Mis stories nave also been recently accepted by the Sunset of San Francisco, Out Westof Los Angeles: Four Track News,' Brown ings and Munsey ot New York. He devotes his entire time to literary work for which he receives a hand some income, having recently built a two-thousand dollar residence from the receipts of his "stuff." Mr. Stov. al has touched a popular chord in story telling which is the most remunerative class ot literature.: G. B. Hardin, late from Lincoln, Nebraska, arrived Monday and is to remain for a few days. With him is Quilver Martin, Cyrus Smith, James f ields and Ms brother. The latter four are farmers who have sold their homes in Nebraska, aod are now look ing for a location in Oregon. They are all men of means, who desire to engage in the stock business. They have been for some time at Forest Grove, but have been unable to locate themselves there. Tbey came to the state with a large party ot homes eek ers. some of whom have gone to Leb anon to investigate conditions ' and land values. Mr. Hardin has been for many years a professional teacher of (shorthand, and is lnveetigatlng the . . m mm opponunuy lor securing a class in Corvallis. - . Gave him gold watch. As Token of Their Esteem He was Kind to ThenuWhile They Were .". Sick. . , Just out of the edge of Corvallis, where the lark sings all the : year, is Cauthorn Hall. The : most re mote of the college group of build ings, it is an ideal home for sev enty or eighty boys. Fresh sea air, pure water and a . dozen other influences censpire t make lh's home a healthful place for - young men; but during the past winter measles stole a march on the boys, and every lad that was.not immune against paregoric, measles and chickenpox was waylaid for the season. "Two r weeks in a dark room," Was the doctor's order, and more than a dozen boys served out the full sentence. But the scarlet monster after visiting every room available took his departure. Then David Little as spokesman for this band of OAC "boys in blue," stat ed at the supper table that all had done nobly in caring for the sick, but among cneir number was one who had been more than a brother, one who had gone irom room to room night and day. and had ten derly cared for his classmates dur ing their illness, and then refused compensation, "thereupon in be half of Cauthorn Hall Club' Mr. Little presented Frank Galloway, of Elgin, Oregon, with a gold watch and cnain. The watch which cost about $50 will be thoroughly '., ap preciated by Mr. Galloway, who like several other students is work ing his way through college with out the aid of parents or other rel atives, - , BITTEN BY A DOG. At Nine, and Insane at Fprty to the Asylum Now. -Gone Joshua Peters, a resident of Al sea and forty years old was taken to the a3ylum by Sheriff Burnett yesterday. The examination was beforejCounty Judge7 Walters yes terday morning. The patient has resided with his mother in Alsea for the past 20 years, ice mother s statement is that up tojthe time he was . 9 years of age, he was an unusually bright boy. At that time he suffered a severe bite on the arm from a sav age deg," and thereafter failed to develop mentally. In time a turn toward stupidity began to be mani fest, until now a stage'of lnbecility has been reached. The mother believes the attack of the dog to have been responsible for present conditions. A letter from her read at the examination, said that she had been told by physicians that the dog-bite was the cause of her son's troubles. , The malady now manifests itself in nervous -twitchings and move ments of the arms and hands, which cannot be kept still. At times there is disposition to violence, and com mitment to the asylum ' is resorted to, to prevent bodily harm to the patient or others. Dr. C. H. Lee was the physician at the examina tion. ... ., .. A Trip Around the World. When Jules Verne made his famous trip around the world in 80 days, many thought his record would stand for all time, but the inventive genius has so annihilated space, with the aid of electricity and steam, that Jules has . been distanced on several occasions in recent years. , Another effort is to be made to break all previous , rec ords and many Corvallisites are in terested m the undertaking. Plans are being made for an excursion soon that will eclipse the ancient author's wildest dreams. " " . For Sale. At a bargain, ladies Sterling wheel, good as new, Inquire at Times office. For Pale.

Injuries Then, Make Him Insane 'Twenty Four Byron Brush. at "My mind is wrong; I know it. I'm afraid I'll do harm to others or to myself. I have been think ing about suicide, but I havn't made up my mind yet. It-is better for me to go to the asylum." Twenty four years old, intelligent-looking and of excellent ap pearance, Bryon Brush, stood in the county court room and expres sed a wish to go to the insane asy lum. He is the son of L A. Brush who arrived a year and a half ago from Iowa, and settled on a farm in Fairmount precinct. His. story is so full of pathos, that it ought to make those in "possession" of. all mental and physical faculties to un-, derstand that they have" riches, such as all the millions of Morgan cannot buy. r Young Brush was adjudged "in sane, and committed to the asylum. Accompanied by his father, he was taken to Salem yesterday afternoon by Sheriff Burnett. Two carriages conveyed Brush and Joshua Peters another patient to Albany, whence the train was taken for Salem. In the beginning of his life, Brush manifested unusual mental vigor. He so continued until in childhood, he iell out of a hack and struck the back of his head against a stump. Even yet, in some par ticulars there is great strength 'of mind, but along with it is a flight iness that blights every thing. The X-ray has been used by noted specialists in examination of his brain in the hope of finding the key to his troubles, but without suc ess. Dr. Altman was the phy sician at the examination. v& ': - ' ; -" -V : Dry Wood for Sale. . Maple or fir io lots to suit. Leave or ders with A. Hodes. . Frank Francisco. For Sale.
