Corbett Improves his Facilities For Making Brick and Tile. W. C. Corbett is showing much enterprise in the erection of a cost ly tile kiln at his brick yard near Crvstal Lake cemetery. Mr., Corbett began his endeavors some time in advance to locate George Hayford, i WiTi I' niii II' mi BUILDING TILEJCILN. an expert kiln-builder, in order tpjjt js certain now that H teachers secure ms services. Alter mucn a -m- .J.-.,- . ft n corresoondence Mr. Hayford was heard of at-The Dalles; and arran gements were soon made for him to come to Corvallis and superintend construction f the kiln. , Work on the structure has been under way several weeks and in a few days more, it will be completed. y; . .i The. kiln is of the Stewart plan and patent, and the company hand- line the rights has its headquar ters at Findlay Ohio. ".. Mr, Corbetts kiln is a neat looking circular structure havine a diameter eighteen and a half feet. From the sides there rises an arched roof running to a height of twelve feet from the floor. . On either ot oppo site sides there are four furnaces built outside of but connected of course with the- circular structure, One opening in the kiln admits - the material to be burned. Encircling the kiln , are a number of iron bands one of which is six inches wide, one four inches wide, and three are each three inches wide. ; All are three sixteenths of an inch thick. These were ; put sn. place by Horning Bros. There have beervused in its construction 55,000 brick, 9.000 of which are fire brick. The : com mon brick and a portion of the fire brick was manufactured t by Mr. Corbett. " The capacity of the kiln is 18,000 three-inch tile, and it re quires 36 to 48 hours-to burn them. By the old method four to five days was required, and the operation was not: so thorough as by the new method. This kiln makes brick or any other class of shaped cly. The firstkiln of tile will be burned in July. When completed,. Mr. Corbett-will have invested $800 to .$900 in the structure. , ;-. IN THE GRAVE. Death and Bnrial of Mrs- loseph Bee -She Died Sunday.

Cofvallisites are to vote on the question of bond issue a week from next Monday. It is desired to sell the bonds for funds with which to provide additional, facil tieQ in school district number nine. will be necessary in me scnoui nesi year and possibly 12, - Even the old Evangelical church in which school was kept this year will not, if used again, afford sufficient room. The directors say that at least one more and possibly two more rooms must be provided. ! They say that because of the signal unfitness of the old church building for school purposes it ought not be used long er: Thev sav' 13ie ventilation is bad, and that colds' : among the little children are frequently prev alent and alwavs violent. It is probable that 'the seeds 1 of con sumption have been sown in the lunes of some of the little ones forced to attend school there last vear. is the statement 01 one ot the directors. He told how the ar rangement of the building is ' such that draughts and ' variations of temperature ' cannot be avoided, how the teacher in the grade was prostrated with cold for ' nearly a week during the winter due largely to the bad hvcienic arrangements, and how fmallv that it would be difficult to get a teacher to serve in the grade next year, it the bid buiidinsr is to be retained. !; .'' : The directors would like to have an issue of about $8,000 in bonds. That is to sav. they would like for the district to authorize such an is sue in that amount, leaving it dis cretionary with the board as . to how much of the sum should; be spent in betterments. The board has assurance that the bonds would be taken up at four per cent in terest. If the whole should not be required for building purposes, a portion could be applied in "re: demption of the present outstand ing' school bonds, ot wnicn xne amount now is $8,000; The latter draw five per cent interest. The original bond issue was '. $16,000, but a bond of $1,090 has been paid off each year until the remainder is now $8,000. : . '- The directors would like to pe m position to spend $5,000 to $7ooo in new school facilities if the op portunity to do so economically and desirably,' should come, to tnem. The plans of a small school building in each end of town, of an addition to the present school building, and of a building on what is known as the Diller block, is familar to all as the three propositions v the '. direct ors have in mind. Their desire' to have the district" authorize:;; the board to issue $8,606' in bonds; and thereafter determine which pl,an is most desirable,' ' and how much of the $8,000 shall be spent in im provements, and how much in the redemption of the outstanding bonds , bearing five per cent with new bonds,! beaj irig four ; per cent. The matter is 6ne ' for ' Cbrvallis ites to think -about: Interi 'days or a little-more it will be iitf to each voter to face the iiestioln ' '' ; As before stated the election oc curs a week fforri !' next Monday, At tfiS sameltime, there will' be an electioii of directors to ! fill 'ch.e va candy caused b 'lh'e ' expir atiori.'of the term of Director Hout.-" '" '; " si...,;.. -AXL' SWORE 1 ;.

Entered Corvallis Homes Bat Got Little A Handy Match. . Burglars plied their profession in Corvallis Friday night, --'They entered two residences, and secured in all, four, or five dPllars in silver. The police have not been able to secure clues, and can only., account for the unusual manifestation on the theory that " the " thieves were all or apart of the gang that, has been dping,.Albany and Eugene, where many cases, of burglarizing have been reported. The house of Ed. Andrews was one of those vhited in Corvallis. It happened at one .o'clock at night The thieves first, gained access to the house through a bay ' window on the east side. They took down a chandelier, and used- one of the lamps for lighting their way about the house. ; 1 They found their way to the family sleeping room usually en tered by sliding doors. These doors, apparently - the , marauder could not open,, and ; he retreated outside, and made his next attack from the north side of the building. There, a window over which there was a screen opened to the family bed room. The window was al ready up, and by cutting the screen access was made easy. Mrs. Andrews was the first to hear the prowler in the room. She waited until certain of the intrud er's presence, and then attempted to strike a match. The first at tempt failed but a second produced a light,, Mr. Andrews was awak ened by this time, and so was the thief The rear of the latter .. was seen disappearing through the open window just as the "match blazed. As Mrs. Andrews listen ed to his footsteps before lighting the match, the thief seemed to be gradually nearing the spot where Mr. Andrews' trousers reposed for the night. J He had failed to reach them when the match" incident oc curred,; and accordingly was forced to quit the house without securing booty of any sort. ' .. ' The thief or thieves did a better business in the Rowley home. There, nobody, heard their , move ments. They entered and escaped unobserved and unheard. They managed to find the trousers of the father of , Dr. Rowley,; ' and j from them abstracted, four , or .. five ,; dol lars in change, Nothing else has been missed. Things of the sort rarely occur in. Coryailis and the two incidents have since been, much talked about. " : '''.::";'"-'.,.' ; W, 0. W.
