Eastern Weather; One of our Iowa
exchanges, of 3d inst, contains the following
item: "We are not a fault-finder, nor do we
even assume to dictate the course of the
'city dads,' but it seems that there should
be some effort made to clear the snow drifts
from the sidewalks. People willingly walked
in the middle of the streets for many weeks
during the extreme cold weather, when it
was inconvenient to remove the scow, but it
seems now that the roads have beenmo so
wet and disagreeable that something should
be done to encourage a clem, up." That has
rather a Greeuland-icy-miiuntaiiiish sound to
peoplo of this country. While Iowa may be
a good country to live in Oiegon is certainly
still better.
Death or Dr Riddle. Ou the Cth in

was born in t"e State of New Jersey and

exception of 18 months' sojourn in Lebanon,
lived iu Corvallis ever since. He was au iu
dustrious, honest citizen. About three and
a half yeais ago his left side was paralyzed
aud he was rendered almost helpless. Fortwo
years he has been blind, and so his suffer
ings were great and prolonged, but his e id
was peace. His remains were buried in the

A Heavy Ji'POMENT. Wednesday iu the

A motion to strike out parts of the answer
was overruled and judgment rendered for
plainciff for $1(8,101, together with interest
from May 15, 1885, and cists and disburse
ment. The action was brought June 28, 1884
to recover 00,300 claimed to be due as a
balance on rental or lease money. The Oregon
Railway A 'Navigation Company lewsed the
plaintiff's lines for a period of ninety-six years,
and then threw up the lease after using the

The New Building.-The Board of Regents
of the Oregon State University filet in this
city, Friday evening, March 13th, at 7:30 for
the purpose of making arrangement for the
erection of the new building. It was finally
concluded to locate the new building 100 feet
north, ami at right angles with the present
strncture. The dimensions of the new edifice
will be about 120x70 feet, and will consist of a
basement, and two stories, the first to be used
for class rooms and the second for an auditori
um. The building will lie heated by steam or
hot Air. The Regents ordered the executive
committee to procure estimates of the cost of
brick and lumber. The plans are to be pre
pared on the basis nf a $25,000 building, thus
leaving $fi,000 of the appropriation for furnish
ing the same. The building will be erected as
soon as possible. The Board adjourned to
meet In Portland on April 8th.
Two Cakes ok Small pox. Salem at pres
ent is somewhat exercised over two cases of
small pox which have recently been developed
In that city. Only meager particulars can be
obtained. Two families, named respectfully
Jones and Maddock, residing on Piety Hill,
each has a member down with that disease-
The patients are a girl aged 12 years ami
young man aged about 20 years, Neither
ase is considered serious, the disease having
been pronounced varioloid. Every care is be
ing taken of the patients and all necessary
precautions observed to prevent the disease
from spreading. The Salem papers have sup
pressed all news concerning the existence ol
small pox in ' that city, and only by accident
has it been made public. We consider thh
wrong, as we believe it is better that the pen
pie should know the facts about such a matter
so they could be prepared tor rattle it.
How to Build uf a Town. An exchange
under the above caption offers the following
alvice which we give as applicable to all towns
iu general and this town in particular: Talk
about H; write about it; help to improve it;
beantify the streets; patronize it merchants;
advertise m its newspapers; elect good men to
all its offices; pay your taxes without grumb
ling; lie courteous to strangers that come
among you; uever let an opportunity to speak
a good word about it to pass; if you think of
nothing good to say about it, say nothing bad;
remember that every dollar you invest in a
pcimnmetit improvement is that much money
at interest. Never kick at any proposed
necessary improvement because it . is not near
your own door, or for fear your taxes will be
raised 15 cents.
Penmanship. Mr i W Rowland has
opened a school in penmanship in one of the
upper rooms in Wallon s Block, nod invite
aitentiou of those wishing instruction in
this srt. He is a fine pennun and has hail

from fi to 8. Call at tho instruction roou
