Few of our citizens realize the
magnitude and importance of this
little enterprise run by W. C.
Corbett over by Crystal
cemetery. Did yoi know that
during the entire summer ten
men have been steadily employed
nd will continue their labors un
til driven out of the mud by the
Oregon mist?
During the summer 315,000
brick have teen burned with or
ders still on hand for over 400,000
more. v Also one kiln of tile ot
40,000 has been burned and this
branch or the business has been
neglected on account of the scar-1
citv of labor.
Notwithstanding the fact that
our good brotber . has hustled
early and late he ha been unable
to supply the demand and fully
as many brick as were burned
by him bad to be shipped in dur
ing the early spring.
Our mechaaics were delayed
on account of shortage, and car
after car came in, thus sending
money away that should have
been distributed among our labor-

Corbett, as he has labored under
many difficulties, but we sincere
ly hope he may see his way clear,
with favorable weather conditions,
to have an ample supply on hand
to supply the early spring trade,
for we must admit we are a little
selfish and like to keep our money
around home where we can look
at it. The good old yellow stuff
always did look mighty good to
us.
We believe in the principle of
keeping ud with vour work and
trom the present prospects the
coming summer will keep pace
in the wav of building with the
prosperous season lust closing.
So have vour brick ready, the
hammer and saw where you can
reach them, level up all out

of sweet sixteen, and sails over

of the moon sheda'ing forth her

We are pleased to learn that
some of our local business men are
seriouslv considering the idea of
building a new boat tor local
freight and passenger boat service
on the Willamette river. The
hoat as planned will be 40 feet
long 16 foot beam, with sufficient
power for all necessary purposes.
They will also build a barge or
scow for hauling wood, wheat,
potatoes and all other cotnmdities
raised by tbe tanning communi
ty along tbe river. Corvallis has
lone- felt the need of a service of
this kind as innumerable quanti
ties of farm products must be
housed along the river awaiting
the rainv season for the boats,
and in the present stagnation ot
transportation facilities and Ques
tion in prices, the farmer is
seriously handicapped.
During the past win'er pota
toes were stored all along the
river to await the pleasure
of the boatmen. and had
there not been a shortage in the
yield, considerable money would
have been lost to tbe producer.
'For some two months during the
past winter the Steamer Pomona
spent its entire time in sucn trans
portattons to Corvallis as migni
be utl.zed by a local boat, cora
wood in abundance could be
secured from this source to sup
ply the scarcity now felt by ou'
people,' as it makes a man scratch
his head and wonder what he ha?
done with his summer wages
when he comes to dig down in
his pocket and hand out a five
dollar gold piece to pay for
cord of wool. We know of one
shipment of 700 cords that could
now be placed on the martt
through this source at a profit
but with teams commanding $4
per day it cannot be hauled wit-
a profit and hence left standing
in" the tim' er.

As the season approaches every
thing around the hop-yard as
sumes an air ot activity and in
terest, for the man who invests
n this critical business realizes
that should he neglect any branch
of his work at this time it will
cut quite a figure with his bank
account. , .
We speak of it as critical be
cause of the short space of time
in which to reap the harvest, if at
all. He battles with the lice, the
rain, the heat, the picker, the
men who bale, and lastly with the
dealer, and in the event of trou
ble with any or either of them,
all the money invested in plow
ing, training, trimming, etc.
may be a complete or partial loss
If a loss - it mav pile up like a
mountain before him and take
vearrf of toil to recuperate. If a
gain he may, 11 he likes, wear a
stand-up collar or a plug hat.
It takes a, man ot nerve to be a
successful hop grower, and hence
we would call the attention of our
citizens, who feel like picking, to
lend a helping hand to our oww
people who have had the nerve
to enter this line of business in
stead of going away from home
and leaving them short ot help.
Did yon ever think along the
line that the more money we
have among our citizens, iu our
banks, and in fact among all
classes of our people, the greater
the possibility of your getting
it? Mark a piece of money,
put it in circulation by paying
your honest debts, and see how
many times it will return to you
duriDg the year. Send the same
piece of money out of the country
for the purchase of goods that
should have been'bought of your
home merchants and we predict
it will never come back to tickle
your pocket book again or make
your heart glad in the happy
possession of it.

prospects now. and let' us help

Mack Porter went to Newport,
last of tbe week, for a pleasure

Bert Pilkington and wife were
Newport visitors the last f the

the Bay View.

They will camp for two weeks

Walter Taylor and family re
turned to their home at Corvallis
last week from a week's visit at
Newport.
Rutus Skipton returned home
yesterday from a week at the
coast. His family remains tor a
longer visit. "' , '
Willard Ireland went out from
the bay last week to look alter
his hop crop. He comes back
Sunday to join tbe other mem
bers of the family who are camp
ed at Newport.
Over at Newport clouds and
rain have been the order the past
week. In spite of this, however,
surf bathing is enjoyed each day
bv those who are not afraid of
freezing.
Newport is certainly enjoying
a splendid season, as camping
them to continue to do so. for the
prospect of a crop is good, the
conditions in and about the yards
are good, and the price of hops
good, hence the pickers should
be good, and with all ot our
pockets full of money and our
consciences 'clear, we should all
feel good.

and a couple of Corvallisites who
stooped at a certain hotel one

between 9 and r4 years. The
teacher,with this information, is
required by law to report forth
with to the county school super-
ntendent all children of the req-
nisite age who are not attending;
school. In case of sickness the
parent must furnish the teacher
with a written statement, signed
by a qualified physician, that the
child is sick and unable to attend.
No excuse from the parent cover
ing this ground will be sufficient.
All cases not complying with the
law' are reported to the county
school superintendent whosturns
over the information to the truant
officer. After such investigation
and the facts are as reported he
notifies the parent or guardian to
have the child in school within
24 hours. On failure to comply
with his request the law requires
the prosecuting attorney to pros
ecute the party immediately.
Upon conviction thereof the par
ent or guardian is liable to a fine
of not less "than $5.00 nor more
than 25.00 or be inprisoned uot
less than two or more than ten

From 200 to 300 children in the

of warning might not be out of

lected their duty as the law will .

it is pronounced the strongest and

most rigia law in tne u niiea
Sta tes en the subject. There is
no state in the union with a law
which meets every condition like
the one now en our statute books.
Oregon is to be congratulated for
taking the lead in this work, for
the place tor boys ai.d girls is in
the school room, and not oa the
streets. It has been no unusual
sight, in years gone by, to see
boys and girls; loitering around
town doing nothing, the parent
presuming them in school. This
indolence leads to vice, crime and
immorality. Hereafter every boy
and girl between 9 and 14 years
must be in the school room. The
new law provides for a county
truant officer and the county court

chief police W. G. Lane, of Cor

Surveyors have taken the field
to retrace the Corvallis and East
ern survey across Eastern Oregon
trom Detroit to Ontario. A crew
of 15 men, equipped for several
months, left Portland this wee,
to accomplish this work.
This may mean that the iiar
riman interests, which now own
the Corvallis & Eastern, will ex
tend that road across the- state .
instead of building on the Ore
gon Eastern survey, which was
completed last winter. It is said
the grades to be obtained on the
Oregon Eastern survey are not so
advantageous as those of the Cor
vollis & Eastern survey. It is
to determine the relative merits
of the two routes that the party
has been sent out to remark the -old
survey.
The Corvallis & Eastern sur
vey was originally made 10 or 15.
vears ago and many changes in
the line then made are necessary
now, for the science cf lailroad
construction has taken many for
ward steps in that time. Curves
and grades thought entirely feasi- -ble
in those days for the compar
atively light equipment then iw
use would be tabooed altogether
by modern engineers, who are in
tent on hauling the big loads
with a minimum of motive.
p iwer.
The survey to be retraced1 un
doubtedly offers the shortest"
direct route across Oregon, for at
is practically a straight line
across the state to Ontario, while
the Oregon Eastern route from
Norton to Vale follows a some
what roundabout course and
traverses country which is less
desirable than that further north.
If the C. & E. survey is followed,
the line will afford easy access to
irrigation districts- of Eastern
Oregon and will also offer an
outlet to the proposed O. R. &
N. road up to the Deschutes
from its mouth. Telegram.
