The appointment of a per manent board of viewers is in obadi ence to a change in the road laws made by the last legislature. At this week's session of the com missioner's court, a petition asking for ap appropriation by the county for the improvement of the Rials Hill road wae rejected. The petition was sign ed by nearly ail the people in the north end of the county. : Tbe reason assigned for the rejection of the peti tion was that the improvements made by the county in grading Stewart's Hill and in building a stretch of per manent road en the Mountain View route, served residents of the north end of the county and that further Improvements of the kind for that section would be unfair to other parts. Also that the petition was not based on a proposition of voluntary work, and that a precedent of that kind could not be established. J. E.

Wilhelm & Sons M onroe, NEARLY FINISHED NOW. Big Rooms With Pretty Tints Opens Very Soon Hotel Corvallis. In a very short time, Hotel Cor vallis will be ready. for occupancy. Two cooks, who are to preside ov er the culinary department of the new hostelry are already drawing salary. The opportunity to secure them aooeared some time aero, and in order to hold them for the places they were at once put on full pay. They are both in Portland, where they are patiently waiting for the order to come to Corvallis to take up their work. ,, In two weeks, the big hotel may be opened to the public. " The ev ent may not occur for three weeks, or even longer. Much depends on whether or not the management waits for the third story to be com pleted. Nothing has been done on that floor yet. . Even the partitions have not been put in. On the two lower floor's, however, it is dif ferent. Everything there will be in ship shape in two weeks. The plastering on both floors is almost complete. The gray coat is all on and only akalsomiming finish with pretty tints is to be added. In sev eral of the rooms, this has been done. ' The effect is very elegant; Some of them are in pink, others in delicate blue or green, while the halls are mostly in cream. . Tbe finish of the plaster is in rough, j which is now so popular among builders. - No hostelry in the Willamette Valley will be more attractive than Hotel Corvallis if the furnishing: is in keeping with the finishing. ": The plan of the building is par-excellent The design wai by a noted archi tect in Nashville, Tennesee. - A pretty ofiice in the middle of the west front has a splendidly lighted and attractive court in . the rear. Through sliding doors from the court and hallway the suberb din ing room is reached. . Ascent to the upper floors is by a spiral stair way off the court. .The rooms- on the second are large, airy and on lines that attract the traveler ' seek ing for a place where he can - rest and refresh himself. A tour now of the rooms and halls suggests to the observer that he may be view ing a building in a goodly city, rather than in an ordinary college town. . ' 1 Mrs. Hammel, who is1 to be host ess of the new hotel, is already oc cupying rooms in : the building. She expects to furnish and main tain the place in a style befitting its character and pretensions. Fif teen men are at work on the btrild ing. . . TO SEE FINE STOCK.- College Students-Thirty. three of v Them Left Thursday for Tour. Thirty, three "students are out oa an interesting jaunt. They are students in the agricultural course. They have gone on a tour of the Westside counties, for the purpose of visiting all the notable stock farms of the section. . They go first to J.-B." Stump's well' known farm pear Monmouth. There they will be shown all the fancy live stock, of which there is some of the best to be found in the state, es pecially in sheep. From Stump's and other Polk county" farms, the boys visit similar farms in Yamhill ending the trip probably at the Ladd farm in Washington county. The tour is of similar character to one made last year. At that time Stale Senator R O. Booth of Lane county, heard of the trip, and he wrote the college, offering to con tribute $250 for the purpose of paying the expenses of the stud- ! ents on future trips of thesortwhich boys should be taken It is from the bounty of Senator Booth that the expeeses of the present tour are paid. . The railroads have howev er cooperated by giving special rates. . ' The boys left Thursday morning in a special coach on the Westside freight. They are accompanied by Dr. Withy combe who will explain the fine points of all fine stock dis played on the trip.- The ... party is expected back to college Sunday and Monday. ' i . Found. .

Many improvements are in progress and bills are heavy, but Benton still has the wherewithal to meet all bills. The county treas urer, after a session of court keeps a supply of coin at hand, and small warrants he pays off in cash giving a check in redemption of the larger ones." The old machine with which he and his predecessors have so long indorsed warrants, "Not paid for want of funds" is becoming rusty with disuse. It will however have to be oiled up and put into service again, for the present cash system cannot prevail but a few weeks lonerer. No more taxes are likely to come until the 1st of October, when the last installment of. those who have paid but half will fall due. The county treasurer has on hands now about $3,700 in the general fund, applicable to all ordinary bills. It will be suffi cient to pay perhaps all of next month's bills, if not more, in addi tion to paying off a considerable amount in warrants that have not been presented for payment. Many of those to whom warrants are issued, seem in no hurry to pre sent them. Of course warrants draw no interest, and holders make nothing by continuing to hold them. . "' A curious fact of the same sort is, that about $400 worth of warrants called in by the final published de mand of the treasurer for presenta tion of all outstanding warrants, have not appeared at the treasurer's office. The call was made several months ago, when the county re sumed specie payment.. The inter est was stopped at that time. It is either possible that the holder has not heard of the call, or that he has no use for the money. Screen Doors.
