At the meeting there was no gen eral expression of x opinion i with reference to the ordinance, but sev-i eral.councilmen have since expres sed approval of its ter mss it It 1 r will probably come up for action at t the regular monthly ; meeting.! in :Oct- . , Reduced Rates to State Fair. , V 1 The Oregon State Fair occurs" at the Fair grounds September "14th to 19th.

Dollar an Hour for Fire Chief and Four bits an Hour for Privates at all ' ' " Fires. , The Corvallis fire department is now on what might be called .a paid basis. A resolution adopted by the city council at a . meeting Monday night places the chief en gineer and any ten men that he may select on a salary during the progress of fires, The pay of the chief is $ 1 per hour. " and of each of the ten men - that he may select, fifty cents an hour. The pay is to begin when ah alarm , of fire is sounded, and is to continue as long as the chief engineer may direct The resolution passed ' the council by unanimous vote; and is now in effect. rf; -' '--i'-' A committee from the ' fire de partment attended - the council meeting and urged the passage of the resolution. The chief speaker was Lawyer E. "' E. Wilsons .33 is colleagues on the committee were Dr. Harper and Fire Chief Sheas- creen. Mr.- Wilsou said the ' de partment is in bad condition. There are only ten or a dozen men who are really active firemen, and they are discouraged, A greater num ber is on the roll, but they are not strenuous firemen. The depart ment has visions ' of disbanding Unless something is done by the council, that course seems probable. If the department should . disband,' insurance rates would be sure to follow chittim prices. J The cost in the increased rates to property own ers would be great, A common fire under the proposed rates of pay to firemen ought not to cost tbe city more than $20. . If the work lasted only an hour, that would be but $6. ? Lf three hours, nearly $20. Both Dr. Harper and the fire chief seconded the efforts of Mr, Wilson, and when they had all finished aresponsive chord was in the hearts of the councilmen They, sat unmoved for a few . moments, and then Councilman Rose moved that the resolution presented by the committee be "adopted and the mo-x tion was promptly seconded. A chorus of "ayes" went up when the motion was put, and no obstreper- oils member ventured a' "nay'' : in opposition. '; ,f : Figuratively speakingr somof the old volunteer firemen of former years were in tears yesterday morn ing when they , heard of the change. ; Four bits an hour for a - private and a dollar an hour for the chief; as contrasted with ! the nothing ' an J hour when they used to sweat and grunt on the brakes of Big Six .; in the old da3'S when fires were 'many and Jire laddies fierce and ' fast is one of the evolutions of the new century that makes some of the old veterans realize as never before, that "has beens" indeed, they are.

All Grades in old Building One Teach er Short for the Present. - v "The public schools opened Mon day. " The first day's - attendance gives assurance of &n increased en rollment this year. The i attend ance during the opening weeks is always lighter than later on, and for. the present all; the grades , are boused in the old school building. The arrangement is ihade possible by the fact that Prof. Tartar and Prill; Holmes occupy : One: of the large rooms through which a par tition has been run, The resigna tion of Miss" Aldersoh " leaves nine teachers, and until all the pupils are in. and rooms in the new build ing completed, the effort will' be made to get along with the force That is the way in , which the school was handled last year, the tenth teacher going; in about Nov ember 1st, the force being reduced again in the sprang by tne . resigna tion of one ot the teachers. The use of the old building for all the teachers and pupils is made neces sary because the old church build ing formerly used by the primary grade is no longer available. The structure is used btf the Cramer Organ Factory for a warehouse and salesroom for organs.. ' It is fullv certain however, that in the course of a few weeks there wiU be a sufficient attendance to cause an overflow, and that by that time the rooms in the new building are available" they will be badly needed. .
