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.' The
importance of the subject ordinarily
would call for more or less street
discussion. Of this, there has been
but very little : II outward signs
mean anything, less than 200
votes will be cast Monday : in an
election in which 600 or 700 people
are vitally interested.
' 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.
In the meantime, there should be
vastly more of . wealth and many
more people to be drawn upon for
payment of it. 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? . ' - ' - -
- The election occurs at the public
school building next vMonday af

Uoon the complaint of P.
Withrow, Grace E. Withrow,
wife. w.as yesterday adjudged
sane by County Judge John
Scott, and ordered committed to
the Oregon hospital for the insane,
The court's order was made upon
the affidavit of Dr. Cartwright,
who examined the patient. Mrs.
Withrow is a" resident of Corvallis,
but has for some time been receiv
ing treatment at the Florence san
itorium in this city. She is 26
years of age, and this is her first
committment. ? An order was also
made by the court requiring the
husband. P. L Withrow, to pay the
state of Oregon the sum of $10 per
month for the maintenance of the
patient during her confinement in
the asylum as provided for by a
bill passed during the last session
of the legislature. This is the first
committment from Marion which

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.
A similar affliction came to a drum
mer the first day Of this week. He
seemlngl?juodertook to drink enough
Saturday night to r carry him over
Sunday, and to make sure doubtless,
that he would not be compelled tj
divide with any of his friends next
day. All of Sunday he regretted his
mistake, and sighed often for' the
dawn of Monday morning. At length.
in audible meditation he said, "I cer
tainly have not deserved tMs to have
been placed in my condition in Cor
vallis on Sunday, June 21st, the long
est day in the year." C He received
much sympathy but no "spiritual"
consolation. ' -

Corvallis Office and Mill Can Talk
Heavy Demand for Lumber.
The Benton County Lumber
Company's office in this city now
has telephonic communication with
the big sawmill on Greasy Creek.
The company has a line from the
mill to Philomath, and during the
past few days it has been connected
with the regular telephone compa
ny's office at the latter point. By
a traffic arrangement the mill com
pany has the free use of both lines,
and the telephone company estab
lishes rural phones along the mill
line. For outside messages, a toll
of fiiteen cents over each line is
charged. The Alsea line, now in
process of construction, is" to be
made a part of the system, connect
ing with the mill company's line at
the sawmill. The new arrangement,
by placing the sawmill, ; the Philo
math planing plant and yards and
the Corvallis office in quick com
munication, puts the lumber com
pany in position to : transact busi
ness or fill orders with great dis
patch. J ...
The lumber company now keeps
one car employed in hauling lum
ber from Philomath to Curvallis
For morethan two, weeks the car
has made the trip out one day and
back the next, the constant move
ment being necessary to meet the
heavy demand in a local way for
lumber at Corvallis. Much lumber
sold in the town goes to Shedd,
Harrisburg, Halsey aud other points
on the east side of the river. In ad
dition, ; the company - is shipping
several carloads per week to other
points, including California mark
ets. ,
