The school board of Cor7ailis district find ( themselves without funds with which to pay warrants' fur hve months waes to absorb the same. The dist net is in bad rinnauial condition. ! nl :r.s,.at tde com.ag meeting in have a in-nuisui to solve in March, will relation thereto. The stste treasurer h::s announced that there is no state money ou hand to distribute among the various coun ties, aud th loss of this fund alone will cause a deficit of about 300. In addition to this, the insurance on the school building will empire and have to be renewed the com- ing Aagast, the premium for which will be about fiOO. The tax voted at the lust annual .school meeting w..sc-i!cii!aid upon a basis of more j t iso $1,000,000 wortl of properly in the district, while tiie li.it aesvssmeat mad by the county assessor reduces the amount to about 0:;J5,900, thus cuttiog off another in- come, all of which puts our district in a bad condition, There ia a general bonded indebtedness of $16,000, aud a special indebtedness of $1,200, t.'ia interest on both of which amounts must be paid. In addition to this, there are delinquent on the tax roil for 1SD3, about 800. . The salaries of jaaitor and teacher amount to J55 per month. To thi3 sura must be added cc,t of wood, water rent and ivi-fli v:-nnt:a "in noao wimiK ' u,i!l 1 ,n n , ing the tchoo: u : to yc-cirsaUy 300; or for ' a scho. . year of c: .emoaihs, 1,503.

Thus, it is plain to be j seen that in addition to the deficit ehown I above, there will be a shortage of 81,000 j Jrom the state treasurer and delinquent taxes, making a total deficit of theoreti- c .Uy ?2,0G0. ( mis places tne eoara in a peculiar posi- tion. mc tax levy tor this year was voted at the school meeting last March, and though it is now seen tbat insufficient funds wil1 ,)e provided for the school's needs by ach levy, the board is powerless to act iu the matter. Unless the citizens, at the meeting next March, authorize' the board to negotiate a loan sufficient to carry on the work with, there will only be enough ! muti-y reCoivc:! from sources to main tain the school during a period of five or , eix ir.onth3. These wa'.tcrs r.re folly set forth at this time by t!io Gaz!'.tte in order tbat the tax payers may have ample time in which to look over the situation and come to some definite understanding before the next school meeting. it is really unfortunate that there is such a large deficit, as every- on e is now fully aware of t:.e depressed condition ot tne times and all are unani mous in demanding a reduction of taxa tion. The affairs of the district' during the past year have been very economically adminis tered, and the pchool is in a splendid con dition. Iu each department work is progress ing nicely. Duri.i tho past few years it has made rapid strid-.-s in the efficiency of t'le work carried ou until now the Corvallis public" school is the equal of any in the state. This result has been attained large ly through the patient, painstaking efforts of the board, which has been fortunate in seenr iug an able and efSaient corps of teachers. To Professor S. -I.. Pratt, the energetic and painstaking principal, the district is also indebted for much ot the success which the school has attained during the past two ye-v-i principalship, the school's advancement has perhaps been more marked than daring any other period f it3 existence With the school enjoying sneh flatter ing suceess it is unfortunate that the dis trict's exchequer is in such a depleted con dition. The fact that only sufficient funds will - be had for maintaining the school five months during the scholistio year be ginning next September, it would seem nec essary to authorize a loan of at least 1,000. With this amonct the school -could be maintained two months longeo. Under these cirenmstances the teachers might agree to teach one month without pay. This would provide for eight months, which is probably the very best that can be expected.

There is a, shameful feature in the matter, however. It has b.-.e-i said that they will pass the law giving us all the appropriations and power asked for if we wiil abolish the office of socretary. Thi is due ' to n private per sonal influence which should be denounced. I call upon yoii to pass resolutions again indorsing the If w aud stating tbat you will not accept a compromise. Let us abolish the board before we compromise." Mr. David Dnnne foliovvcd Prof. Lake in a rather heated speech. He had only com menced to speak . when) Mr. Clarke inter, posed, disclaiming any opposition to the secretary. Mr. Dunne said: "Mr. Lowns dale, seconded by Mr. Clarke, has done this. Shame on them; I say it is a sham that they now come to ns with this proposi tion to compromise.

Mr. J. R. Shephard then read the follow ing resolution, which was promptly adopted: "Whereas, it has come to the knowledge ol this society that senate bill No. 50, introduced by Senator 'Raley, and house bill No. 2, iutroiuoud by Representative Moores, in the legislature of Oregon, now in stvis'um in Salem, is receiving soms opposi tii'i:;, and, Wiiee.i-5, It ar)v3.irs th.'.'j the opposition totbabiilis .directed agamst that portion providing for the emyloyiaeut of a seiiielary and the keeping of an office; aid, "Whereas, In our opinion the efficiency of the board would be seriously crippled by the expulsion of such 'portions of the bill; therefore be it " "Resolved, That we, the officers and members of the State Horticultural Society, in regular sessiou assembled in the city of Portland, enter our earnest protest against any snch change of the bill, and request such honorable members of tbe senates and house of representatives of Oregon as are friendly to the great and rapidiy incraasing interests we leraue-it to Use their influence' in securing the tiissa -a of the said bill without further amendment."

Shortly after noon Monday, February 6, a man entered the First National bank of East Portland, and pressnting a revolver in the face of the cashier, E. T. Holgate, familiary known iu Corv&Ui3 as "Hasty," who was a'.oae in the bar.k, ordered him to throw np bis hands. Holgate instantly complied with . the request; the man then bound and gagged him, aud started to empty the coin trays into a tack, which he carried. At this juncture the casbier of the Cithena' bank, just across the street, who had seen the operation, rushed in with a shotgnn, and arrested . tho man, who was afterwards turned over to the police. " -' The man wore a Jong, false beard, which when removed, disclosed his identity. He proved to be Rev. J. C. Reed, the Baptist minister, who came into notoriety a few month ago by suddenly disappearing, after leaving his clothes on the river bank, to leave the impression tbat he was drowned. He afterwards turned, np at Moline, lit. where he claimed to be suffering from mental tronble. " -'';- .?" Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Pair Highest Medal and Diploma. AN BXCHANTED TABIE. The third table on the left side, aa one passes into the dining room of the popular hotel of this city, known a the Occidental, ha attained quite a notoriety as the, Alma Mater af no less than eight newly married bridegrooms. . During the last eighteen months these grooms, wbo are now enjoying the companionship of happy wires in their own houses, have sat at this table, while Schmidt catered to their solitary appetites. The first to succumb to the blandishments of Cupid was Ales Renuie, then came John Rowe, Frank Lilly, YV. E. Chandler, Ed. Dunn, EL D. Horner, Fred Nelson and Theo Schnitzlein. Just what influence has pervaded this table it is impossible to a :y. CjuIJ it be on aeconnt of the charming little girl who sometimes briag3 the pudding, or ia there some subtile quality in the pudding? We leave . that for metaphysicians to determine. Today one solitary bachelor sits at that table, probabyl daring the fates to do their worst, while subjecting himself to the same ioSuences under which his com rades fell. This . solitary one's name is A. W. Rose, which reminds as of that beautiful poem: The last Rose which eating alone; All his jolly companions Schnitzlein left have wilted and Eone: . No male of his kindred, no chummy" is Diirlj; He aits all alone with a tear in his eye. The people of this state ar especially id- lion and fitness of those who are' mentioned for the positions. Among the names uo one receives any more hearty recommendation ,than does Mr. W. E. Yates, of Corvallis, a the residence ot the bride's parents, at Beaver creak, by Rev. E. J. Thompson, Edward J. Dunn- and Li:el!a Wilkinson, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Wilkinson. . The wed(ii2 was a very pler-sant event. Only the faroi.y and a few intimate friends, were presto i. After the ceremony and congratulations were over, a delicious wed ding dir ser wa3 served, which ws.3 greatly ebjoyed by all. Mr. Dnnn is certainly to be congratulated on capturing a most charm- ing iady forhis wife. 1 Tf;ey expect to re- main with the old toji.s at home. Letter List.
