The paths must not exceed ! eigllt fect j w;ath, must not interfere , with vehicle travel nor with the drainage j of the road.

Second j prize is a fine guitar. Chas. Collins stopped a dog fight the other day. He will not ask for a medal from the ha mane society, bicause his act was involuntary. He stepped around the corner by Miller's store, quickly, and en countered two dogs indulging in an old fashioned scrap. He collided with them and there was a mix-up of Collins and yellow dotf for a few seconds. Charle alighted on top of one canine and the other disappeared. There were some loud bow-wows heard, butt Charley only muttered "dog-on" and brushed his clothes. The board of regents of the agricul tural college has 5,000 to use as it pleases. The funds from the national government can be applied ouly for the actual maintainance of the college and station, such as salaries, supplies, etc. They cannot be used for building aud re pairs.

Interment was made in Crystal Lake cemetery. Corvallis people have been puzzled over the activity iu the railroad tie move ment that seems to be inaugurated on both railroad lines. Trains of iiat cars laden with ties are seen almost daily 011 the C. & E, aud S. P. roads, of late. But this means uo new railroad euter prise. The S. P. is replacing its ties on its road bed and the trains on the C. 4c E. are S. P. trains. The Southern Pa cific has an immense tie plant ne?.r Cot tage Giove, where the ties after beig cut aud shaped are treated to a preserv ing liquid bath, and put under heavy pressure. They are supposed Ui last twice as long as ordin.ry ties, and they alio cost twice as much. Supt. Denman has just completed the examinations of the pupils of the Philo math public schools for the county grad uation diploma.

I Republic --.n Representatives who Will Nominate Candidates. Political Gossip. In the outsi.la precincts there was little contest at the primaries Saturday. In each Corvallis preciHct there were at Last two tickets the "big" and the "lit tle." In No. i and 2 the "big" ticket was elected, and in 3 and 4 the "little" won c-.silv. The "little" was primarily straight and auli-Lord. The delegates were pledged to 110 candidates. Many of tho.e, and indeed the majority, on the big ticket are really in the same position, so that at least iS Corvallis delegates ire for Geer. As far as sewtimcnt aud popu- larity oes Lor,i j.. distinctly out of the race, but his workers here hope to secure a favorable delegation by shrewd com binations, BsiiK'iM's seven votes are needed to help bring 60 Multnomah rotes for Lord. There is a disposition all over the state t shut out both Multnomah county's delegations if both factions send repre sentatives to the state convention. Both have a following of several thousand votes. One is known as the Ilirsch com mittee and the other as the McKay committee. The Ilirsch committer delegates to the state convention will favor Geer; the McKay committee Lord. If the McKay delegates are seated it will give Lord 60 gelid votes with which to force the friends of other candidates to his support and in the hands of shrewd manipula- tion, ensure Gecr's defeat. There will be a determined effort to bring the Portland factional fight into the state convention and to force the I country delegates to say which faction is right. If popular sentiment prevails I the state convention will decide that ! neither is right aud that both must stay rout. Tha Lord effort in this eounty is to secure a delegation who are privately known to vote for the seat- in of the McKay delegates. Then if the delegates wisfa to make a grandstand play some of them will be allowed to vote for Geer, if Lord does not need them. Stripped of all by play and charges intended to distract the public mind, such will be the issue in any con test over the selection ot state delegates. Lincoln county will probably claim the 1 joint sauatorship witU Henry Nice, R. A. 3ensall or Mr. Davis as tha candidate. In that cae Banton county will be en titled to name the joint representative and Marion Harden is mentioned as a very sun able and appropriate candidate to run against John Henry. It is not known that he would accept if the nom ination were tendered him. It is unani mously a imitted that he would ma'.c a useful and reliable legislator and a strong candidate. There will probably be other names discussed among the delegates tomorrow. Jo. Daly i' working hard for the joint senator 11 uiiuotiou, but a - trong republic- i" i-ppos. lion has developed apd it is supposed that hi: nomination is de sired tor seme unpublished purpose. For representative R. J. Nichols, of Dusty, and Dr. Loggaii, are still talked about, but neither can be considered can didates in ihe usual sense of the term. Both are line men, cultured, with zood judgment and neither would be offended if the convention should possibly deem it e tpedient to nominate some other A " man. Tne she. iff qu.stion seems to be be tween GeDrge Lilly aud Monroe Cam eron. The en - who receives it will have the hearty support of the other during the campaign. There is little heard con cerning the judgeship. Elvin Newton and D. B. Farley .will have a friendly bout for assessorship. Orrin Clark is the only announced candidate for the clerk ship. If there is any candidate for treasurer he has not yet expressed him self. " Last week in these columns it was said that "there will be opposition to Gel'atly and Denman." Of course everyone un derstood that it shonld have read, "there will be no opposition." DELEGATES ELECTED.

College Regent Dead. S. R. Hughes, of Fwrest Grove, state senator from W-.-shiugtwn county and re gent of the Oregon Agricultural College, died at his home Tuesday afternoon of apoplexy. As regent ol" the college Mr. Hughes has proven himself a.-i aole friend o! the institution, interested in all that pertain ed to its wellfare. His death is deepiy regretted here. In his official visits to Corvallis he came more or less in cox tact with our citizens and they learned to admire and respect hint. The terms of Re;euts Yates, Nash ad Davenport expired several weeks ago, but Governor Lord has net filled the places yet. It is expected that he will do so soou after the state convention meets aud doubtless at the same time he will name a successor to Senator Hughes. Closing: Exercises. School closed in district Xo. 12 of Blod gett Valley last Friday with a well-rrn-dered program. Miss A him Detman has been teaching ia this district for the last two years, and has given general satisfac tions. The closing exercisei reflected much crrdit upon the pupil:. They all displayed much talent and ability iH their work. Tha evening was devoted to reci tations, songs, farces, and closed with an excellent supper. The supper was one of the best man ever sat down to, and the ladies of Blodgett can not be com mended too highly, neither caa they be excelled by any of the dainty hands of Benton. Supt. Denmau was present aud on being called upon, made some appro priate and interesting remarks. Died. Lydia P.

At an early age she became a member of thw Baptist church, but vnited with the M. E. church after coming to Corvallis. Her quiet and con sistent christian life ever winning the af fection and esteem " f all who knew her. After a long season of great suffering she departed this lifi to be with Christ, April 3, 1898. The funeral service was con ducted at her residence April 5U1 by Rev. M. Noble, in presence of a l-rge crowd of jyniphthizing friends, to whom the thanks of the bereaved family are ex tended for all (heir kindness to them in this hour of deep sorrow. Robbed the Crave. A startling incident of which Mr. John I Oliver of Philadelnhia, was the subject, is narrated by liim as follows: "I was in n most drendful condition.

He wore an air of prosperity and com placency. He had a keen and twinkling eye that bespoke a perceiving aud hn morous mind. He looked what he was a substantial, intelligent farmer-citizen. And he said: "If Simon be the republican party, then let Simon be the republican party. The long hungry fingers of Toe, the shrewd one, have reached out to grasp anything and everything that can Ijfc gar nered by delieate manipulations. Oh, ye confiding innocents! Say you that no one favors Simon, and that, therefore, his power is nii? Alas for those who hav ing eyes to see, see not!

In the County Court. There was little business for the commissioners this term of court. The usual budget of bills was pre sented and acted upon. Several tax matters, prayers for relief, etc., were considered. The clerk was instructed to no tify D. A. Osburn and his bonds men that the amount still due the county from the ex-sheriff (about $600) must be paid to the treasur er immediately. The petition for permission to erect bicycle paths was favorably acted upon, while the petition to raise the bounty on cayotes was denied.
