The figures are 51 54 inches and are the greatest for the period during the history of the weather bureau at the college. The next highest was in 1896-7 when the rainfall was 45.47 inches. The figures for the same period last year were 38.25. The total rain fall for the month of April was 1.82 inches. The highest temper ature was 86 degrees on the nth, and the lowest, 30, on the 23rd.

Housebuilding is very much in evidence now. Charles Heckert has a cottage already enclosed for Geo. W. Fuller, is at work on one for Elva Minor and is shortly to begin another for Elvin Witham. The Fuller cottage contains five rooms, and is to cost about $700. The Minor house is a seven-room cottage and is located on the W. A. Wells block in the northern part of Job's addition. It is to cost about $800. The Witham house is to be built on the Witham farm and will contain eight rooms, and will be one of the best dwellings in that vicinity. Its cost will be about $1,200. The lower prices of lumber, : and the certainty that the figure will be higher in the future has given con siderable impetus to building operations. MONUMENT FOR HIS GRAVE. After a long and useful life ol more than four score years, M. Jacobs, ex mayor of Corvallis, and during his active years, a prominent merchant and influential citizen, died at the family home in this city Thursday evening. His ill ness began tour weeks ago, after a day of unusual exertion He was taken ill with bladder trouble in the evening, and was no better for several days. After that, he was better for a day or two, and on one occasion was up and about the house- His illness, however be came more violent, and for the past two or three weeks, he has linger ed along until the end. which came suddenly and quite unexpectedly, at seven o'clock Thursday evening. The funeral is to occur from the family residence at 11:30 o'clock tomorrow. The service will be conducted by Dr. David Lavine of Portland, and will be under the auspices of Barnum lodge, I. O. O. F. .After tae luneral service, the remains will be taken via the West side train to Portland, where the interment will be made in the Jew ish cemetery Monday morning. The members of Barnum and Al pha Rebekah lodges are requested to meet in Odd bellows hall at 8 o'clock this, Saturday evening to make arrangements for the funeral. 'Th; deceased was 82 vears of age. He was a native of Russia, but came to the United States at an early age. He settled in Corvallis in 1858, and engaged at once in the mercantile business, being senior member of the well known firm of Jacobs & Neugass, which for a long time was one of the most prominent mercantile firms : in the Willamette Valley, doing a wide and profitable trade. At the same time. Mr. Jacobs, with a mental horzon wider Jtb an that of most men, took a high place in the esteem and confidence of the people and was a citizen of much influence. About the year 1890. Mr. Jacobs retired from active business, and with the advance of years, , led quiet ute. He served a term as mayor of Coryallis, and was pres ident of the college building" as sociation which secured the means aud built the administration build ing at the Agricultural college, the the latter of which was a condition upon which the college was perma nently located at Corvallis. He was a man just in all things, amiable with all people, and a wide circle of friends mourn with his family in his passing. County will pay- Half Also Funeral Expenses The Late James Dunn. ' In recoenition of his last service VICTIMS OFl CREFFIELD. Two More Young v.- Asylum Mi to- his lellow citizens, -Benton coun ty takes the initiative for placing a monument at the grave of the late James Dunn, and proposes that all expenses incident to his last sick ness and death, be paid irom public funds. The county court Thurs day made an order offering to ? pay lor one-half of a $ 100 monument and an equal J proportion of the funeral expenses, provided the city of Corvallis will pay the remainder. The cost ot medical attendance and burial lees, includes an ; undertak ers bill of about $83, the fee of the surgeons for the operation and sub sequent attendance, $100, s and other minor bills, that aggregate, $214.50.' The monument at a pro posed cost of $100, raises the ex pense to $314 50. It is considered certain that the council will respond with equal promptness to the de mand of a large section of the citi zens, woo urge it, ; ana at the first meeting of the council make an appropriation covering the offer of the county. Several council- men, who have been interviewed on the subject, have declared them selves favorable to the plan, and it is expected that action will be tak-1 en to complete the plan when the councilmen come together n a regular meeting Monday night. Ever since the appearance in the Times of a portion of a sermon in which Rev. Carrick suggested that the community should erect a mon ument over the grave of Mr. Dunn the subject has been freely discuss ed on the streets, and so far as heard without the expression of a single unfavorable opinion. In fact, sentiment seems unanimous for the proposed action as a fitting recognition of Mr. Dunn's last service to the community in which he wes so long a citizen. The action of the court was tak en after a visit from a delegation of citizens, headed by R. H. Huston. Representations were made of the well remembered facts in which Mr Dunn lost his life, and the argu ment made that the county owed it as a public duty to see that the orphan children, after the sacrifice of "their father, be not called upon to pay the expenses that a defense of the peace 01 the community entailed.- Each member of the court promptly declared himself favorable to the plan, and by unanimous vole the order was made as above stated There was a the county jud morning.

AT OPERA HOUSE. .'.The Four Georges Company scored a hit last night in their two sketches and their specialties. "A Tip on the Suburban" is very laughable and although played here only a short time ago, was thorough ly enjoyed by the big audience which greeted this little company with the big show. Katherine is indeed a boneless wonder. Her contortion act is the best that has ever been seen here. Agnes George's singing" was also a feature of the specialty. Miss Mar ion George the violin virtuoso, pro ved herself to be a master Jwith the instrument. Besides her first piece, a classic she played two always popular pieces, "My Old Kentucky Home" and "The Last Rose of Summer," which alone were worth the price of admission. Robert V. I,awerence is a come dian of high order. His work in the two sketches was very good and his Hebrew monologue excel lent. Mr. Iaverence also does a singing stunt that will bring him the "cush." The George family consisting of five people ended up the specialty part of the program with solos and duets on brass instruments, ending up with a catchy march in which all took part. Little Ellis George is a crackerjack with a cornet. The last spasm as the program called it, was, an Irishman's Pipe : Dream, a comiedetta in one act that would drive away any ' case of blues. The Four Georges Company has - won a home here, and can have , crowded houses whenever they come. The Transcript, Willows, Cal April 2.9, 1904. Four Georges Company, Wednesday Evening. Miss Marion George is rapidly coming to the front of musical geni uses.

She can take you back to your childhood by' her beautiful rendering of simple old time airs, or she can charm the heart of mu sical enthusiasts by her skilful play ing of classical pieces. She is the happy possessor of many beautiful gowns and diamonds, but her chief treasure is her famous violin, which cost over 52,500.
