Uut little interest is manliest in the bond election take place Monday. Early closing and the events at Heppner have apparently kept the public mind diverted.'

' If the bonds are issued, it will be 18 years before the last of the debt will be paid. It will be 10 "years before the first of it will be paya Die.

The population of Corvallis, long betore the debt is finally paid, should be fully double what it is now, Many now here will have gone away. Their places will be taken by newcomers in vast ly increa-ed numbers It is the latter who will get m:-st of the ben efit of the proposed new school ; fa cilities, and. it is they who should bear a part in paying for, them. The need of additional school rooms is pressing. was urgent even three or .tour years ago. Rooms originally intended for one were partitioned into two rooms then. The same thing was done last year. When children ; are crowded into rooms smaller than was originally planned as proper, injury is done : their health. It may be permanent iniury. The light in such rooms is more or less imperfect and that does permanent injury to eyes'. The air in such rooms is foul, and attempts to ven tilate are attended with evil effects by reason of colds that cannot be escaped, i liven tne partitioning 01 rooms has not been enough, and ." an old church has been used. Yet with -it, and with the partitioning done in the main building, the board conr siders it certain tbat still another room will be necessary next year. Where to turn to for that room, the board knows not. . In short, the district is up against a dilemma. That dilemna is thisx Corvallis has grown until its " school build ings will not hold its. school chil dren. The question is, shall or shall not, additional rooms be pro vided? .

Wilhelm & Son9 Monro e, The Corvallis boczar usually on Saturday night fortifies - against the legl restraints of his appeti'e by pro viding bimself with an ample supply of spirits to tide him over the "dry" Sunday. If he happens to forget it, or if he doesn't distribute his supply so ae to cover the time, he is likely to be iu a bad way by Sunday evening.
