Apportioned school money does not have to follow a pupil out of its own district into another, if the directors of the district order to the contrary. That is to say, when for any reason, a pupil leaves its own district and attends school in an adjoining district, its pro ra ta of school money may be trans ferred with it to the other district, or it may, if the directors so order, be withheld altogether for use in the orieinal district. In short, the directors of the district involved have complete authority in the matter, and can withhold the mon ey or allow it to follow the pupil into an 4 adjoining district, as they see fit. Such at least is the decis ion of Judge Hamilton in the case of J. R. Fehler and others versus the Newton school district, ine decision was handed down a few days ago, and is to be seen at the county clerk s omte. Tbe case was tried at the April term of the circuit court on defend ant's demurrer that involved the question at Issue. The children of J. E. Fehler and others in the Newton district attended school at Philomath, and sought to have their pro rata of school motley from the Newton district tollow tnem to the Philomath school. Encourage ment for the plan was iound in a . decision of the atto.ney general of Oregon, who held that the word "may" in the law had to be con strued as "shall", making it man datory on the directors of the New ton district to transfer the pro rat ed 'money of the pupils to the Philomath directors. The Newton district directors refused to males the transfer, and Mr. Fehler and others brought mandamus proceed ings to compel them to do so. The case was argued and submitted at the April term, and the decision, taking an opposite view1 from that expounded by Attorney General Crawford is the outcome, The section of the law over which difference of opinion arose is as follows: "The board of direct ors of any' district may transfer to another district any child, together with all tbe school money due by apportionment to such child, when ever the parents shall present a written request, accompanied by a written permit from the board of the adjoining district". In this de cision, Judge Hamilton says,"The word "may" as used, would give the directors power to make the transfer, but it would not neces sarily follow that the transfer is to be made in every case in which application therefor is made" The question of whether or not the wo'd "may" is mandatory, leaving no discretion with the di rectors, has been on of extreme interest throughout Benton county. In several districts there were cases like that in the Newton neighbor hood, and in all, the question cf what the law meant was widely and vehemently discussed. After the decision of Attorney General Crawford, which was published in full in the Times, it was generally accepted as law that if the parents ot the child requested it, the trans fer of school money had to be made, but the decision just rendered up sets that theory. Whether or not the case will be carried to the su preme court, is not known. A Place of Interest. It is interesting these days to note the activity that is on among tbe business houses of Corvallis. Ev ery one is on the jump, and clerkB V are busy from dawn to dark. Among the places where there is no time for rest among the em ployes is the O. J. Blackledge furniture store on south Main street. Thursday, a large ship mont of fine bamboo goods arrived and has been placed on display. Along with this cornea a new line of Morris chairB, fine rockers, good mattings, a complete line of pastel and other first grade pictures, such as has never been seen in Corvallis before, and many other new goods.

In spite of the many notices pub lished as to when taxes would be come delinquent and subject to penalty people still call at the Sshenrrs office to pay taxes. Mon day was the last day of grace, and at five o'clock, that evening, the books closed, and everything un paid became delinquent, under the law. The books went at once into the hands of the clerk, for making up the delinquent roll. Until the latter work is completed, no taxes can be received. All taxes paid now, have to be accompanied by a ten per cent penalty and twelve per cent interest oa the amount unpaid after the first Monday in April. A man who dropped in Thursday afternoon o square up with the sheriff, explained that he had tor gotten the whole matter. ' It was of course, a case of expensive foir getfulness A lady called a few minutes later, but no explanation was made of why she failed to be on time. Neither, . of course, was able to get a receipt. . REGISTERED TRADE HARK cADlUMKlllC Is the most versatile fabric of modern looming A BETTER silk for greater uses at a lesser price.
