The division is asked for by the residents of Ki ger's island, who desire to be con stituted a separate district on ac count of the stream which divides them from the mainland and makes it difficult for children on the island to reach the present school house. It is also urged by the Islanders that they have twicers many chil dren of school age as are in the re mainder of the present district. W. C.

D." from his "al ma mater. Before he entered upon the practice of his profession he was called to a professorship and then to the presidency of the Uni versity, with which he is still iden tified.

No vulgar assembly or curious rabble looked on. If any tears were shed, they were by the constable himself, for the birds twittered and sang in the surrounding trees, and they were the only witnesses to the sad and sorrowful proceeding. The sign was an affair of considerable dimensions. Besides the legend,. "Corvallis Social and Athletic Club," it bore the significant words "Members admitted only" and then went on to give a proper warning to trespassers. Neatly and care fully folded, it now rests snugly on a shelf at the sheriff's office, a relic of a plan to do by subterfuge and shamble, something that the law prohibited, that juries condemned, that courts censured and that the people voted should not be.

Immense Demand for Spray Bulletins Spraying Outfits Behind With Orders. - The movement for saving Benton orchards is not abated. A com mercial spraying outfit has been organ'zed in Kings Valley. . It is under the management of J. E. Watson, who consulted Prof. Cord ley as to methods and appliances a few days ago. The two or three commercial outfits operating in town have not yet finished up Cor vallis, and have many orders ahead keeping them busy whenever the weather is propitious. Farmers io the county continue to consult Prof. Cordley by pbone and otherwise relative to the best plan of proced ure. No less than 500 bulletins on spraying have been sent out within the past week in response to re quests. A big extra edition of them printed because of the spray ing movement in Willamette will soon lie exhausted by the demand. The incident shows the widespread interest in the plan for redeeming the trees and fruits from diseases and pests. The expense of spraying is not nearly as heavy as some suppose. The cost to the farmer who does his own spraying is only about two cents per tree for a single applica tion, that is, of course, where there is a considerable number of trees. The cost, even if applied by hired labor and hired appliances ought not to cost more than six cents per tree, according to the statement of Prof. Cordley. However, most farmers are willing to pay more than this In order to save the botheration, es pecially when commercial outfits are available. An idea of value to every tree owner is that just now it is easy and convenient to get spraying done. The San Jose scale will ultimately kill every tree it attacks, if no rem edy be applied. That means that spraying must be done or the tree will die, or the inspector will order it destroyed. All infected trees can be easier saved now than later on when the disease is more violent, all of which means, that now is the time to spray. BUWD TODAY.

Five Hundred 'Have' Paid Taxes- Fifteen Thousand Dollars , . .... . Collected. Sheriff Burnett is doing a swift business in the collection of taxes, Five hundred people have already taken out their receipts. It is es timated tbat an additional 1,100 will pay within the next ten days About 1,600 is the number that us ually pay in time to get the rebate. The last day for rebate will be March 15th. This means that there will be a mighty rush of busi ness at the sheriffs counter until the 15th inst. Sheriff Burnett's plan of sending lists of taxpayers and the amount of their taxes to persons in. the var ious precincts is proving to be a matter of extreme convenience. That it is thoroughly appreciated by the taxpayers is showu by the way in which they make use of the lists. Every mail brings a shower of letters to the sheriff, containing checks or postoffice orders to cover the amount of the writer's taxes. This saves the taxpayer a trip to the sheriff's office at a time when traveling is not the easiest in : the world and makes a light matter out of what would otherwise be a con siderable task. It is painstaking, thoughtful methods like these that have made Sheriff Burnett noted all over Oregon as about the best sheriff in the state. The total amount of taxes paid up to this forenoon was $14,344.51. It is nearly as much as was paid on the same day last year, though last year the roll was received on the 26th of January, while this year.it did not become available for tax collecting until February 12th. As everybody knows, three per j cent rebate, is allowed on all taxes paid on or before March 15th. Af-! ter that date, no rebate is allowed. Taxes become delinquent on the first Monday in April. If.half his tax is not paid by that time, a pen alty of 10 per cent and 12 per cent interest until date of payment, is charged. If half is paid by that time, the taxpayer has until the first Monday in October to pay the bal ance.
