It is frequently remarked about Corvaliis tnat never in the history of the town have the streets been in such a d. plorable condition of mucfi, mud aud slush as st present.' This cj;idi ion has been madewcrse by the loose dirt that was h uled and dumped on various streets be fore t.:e rains set iu and tl ese streets are now a perfect horror to ail who are compelled to frequent. them with any sort of vehicle. The crossings in some places neir the central part ot town are also in a bad fix, the mud being so deep that it is next to impoS3iole to cross with out getvi g into slush rubber-deep Tte two ye.ar-nl 1 son cf Mr. and Mrs. Frank Taylor t'ied at the home four miles west of Corvalli3 about S: 30 o'clock Monday even ing. The child had not feen ill until that morning although a slight paleness was noticed the evening before. A phone message came to Dr. Cathey about S: p. m. but before he reached the home the little one had expired. The supposition is that the boy swallow ed tome particles of glass that per forated the stomach, as he had been playing with some little glass balls aid hid broken them to bits. As thtre wis no signs of illness this see mi the most reason able theory fr the sudden death. The parents have the deep sympa thy of the community.
