Mark McAllister gave a very
good brief speech in the chapel
Tuesday morning, urging stud
eats to take more interest in the

as is desired.
The City Hall is to have a new
roof. The necessity for this has
existed for a number of yeais.
Already no little damage has
been done to the walls and
plastering by each rainstorm.
Finally the city fathers laid
hold of the matter, with earnest
purpose, and at a special meet
ing, held Monday evening, an
ordinauce was passed, which
authorizes and provides for the
work. The ordinance is care
fully drawn and amply safe
guards the city's interests. The
contractors gave a bond of $500,
as a guarantee that they will
keep the roof free from leaks
for ten years, and at the end of
two, and again at the end ot
seven years, they will carefully
paint it, and they will replace
and paint all the cornice and
ornamental - work removed by
reason of their work. The
material to be used is known as
rubberoid, and is claimed to be
of great durability. It forms the!
new roof on Hotel -Corvallis.

will be done by W. . H. Down
ing of ' Portland, representing
the Pacific Coast Rubber com
pany. The work will commence
without delay.

Keeps Postmastmaster Busy.
Postmaster Johnson's
loss
least
is
so
other people's gain, at
far-as Corvallis is concerned his
loss in sleep other people gain is
in getting the Portland evening
papers the same day as printed
besides other mail matter fully
10 hours earlier than usual. The
new passenger tram besides be
ing a great accommodation to
Corvallis people, carries mail
both wavs bringing us in touch
with the outside world by the
stretch of nearly a half day which
means much. Postmaster John
son or his deputy are required to
be on guard trom early in tne
morning until late at night
The new arrangement makes
Corvallis quite metropolitan and
it is beginning to dawn on Mr.
Johnson that a metropolitan sal
ary ought to go along with this
added convenience. The addi
tional salary will come if the
office can be raised to a higher
class by the increased mail dis
tribution. That remains to be
seen. More mail matter passes
through this office without doubt
than through any office of its
size in Oregon. In the mean
time Burt is sorely tried bat is in
no immediate danger of moral or
physical collapse.
A Quiet Wedding.
At the residence of Nortan R.
Adams in this city on Monday
evening, bv Rev. Mark Noble,
Newton Adams and Miss Anna
L. Crawford were united in
marriage in the presence of im
mediate' relatives and friends.
Mr. Adams and Miss Crawford
loved each other when as boy
and girl they attended school to
gether backv in Illinois and al
though separated for a number of
years by thousands of miles, that
love had its fruition in matri
mony. Mis Crawford came here two
weeks ago from Bloomington,
111., and is a very estimable young
lady, womanly and unassuming.
Mr. Adams is a member or tne
firm of Adams Bros., contractors
and builders, he is industrious,
and is held in high esteem by
a wide circle of friends. The
bride was attired in a dainty
gown of cream organdie .and
carried a bouquet of cream roses.
Mr. and Mrs. Adams will reside
in Corvallis. a cottage will be
erected immediately for the pur
pose. '
Hon. J." F. Steiwer, of Jeffer
son, is visiting his son, Carl.
School Question' Decided.
The case of T. R. Fehler vs.
School District No..i of Ben
ton county came up before Judge !
Hamilton on argument ot de
murrer, filed by the school dis
trict, trt tYf ol t-rna tl t.- rm-ifr
y - WW . w 1....
The judge filed an opinion and
issued an order sustaining the!
UCUIUIICI.
The court decides that the
word "may" as used in section
3389 of the code is simply per
missive, and not intended by the
legislature to be mandatory, as
'shall. This leaves the matter
of transferring a child to another
district wholly to the sound dis-
cretion of the school directors.
Yates & Yates appeared for the
defendant district and W. & Mc-
Fadden for the plaintiff. ; ?
Here is a little problem that
farmers may figure but for ' them
selves.- It is a practical demon
stration that swine may be raised
with profit and buy feed.. Smith
& Boulddn four weeks ago bought
8 stock hogs, weighing 1005 lbs.
paying 5 cents live weight or
$5275 which was, ij cents
above the Portland market, so
they decided "to feed them for a
raise in the price. They fed 13
sacks of shorts at a cost of $13.15
The hoes when slaughtered
weighed 13 10 pounds, a eain oft
105 pounds and were sold at 6
cents, amounting to $78.60, a
profit of 12.70. If the hogs
had been weighed before being
killed, the weight would have
been nearly 500 pounds, that is
2 pounds ot shorts costing 1
cents will make 1 pound of pork
at 6 cents.
The lecture of John Sobieski,
on Wednesday evening at the
Christian church was well attend
ed and highly appreciated by -all
who heard him. The personal
ity of the speaker was very im
pressive .and striking, being a
large man with a voice very
deep and resonant. Mr. Sobie
ski belongs to a line of Polish
princes and had it not been for
the . partition of his country
nearly a century ago, he would
have been in direct line for suc
cession to the throne. He is de
voting his life to the cause of
temperance, and gave a very un
biassed presentation of the sali
ent points of his subject.
Automobile men are having
trouble enough, the latest coming
from Lebanon where two boys
were thrown from a buggy by a
frightened horse and nearly
killed. The operators of the
machine paid no heed to the
horse and buggy and the frantic
animal plunged, into a roadside
ditch, throwing the occupants of
the buggy, two boys, in such a
way- as to knock one of them in
sensible and break the arm of the
other.
