The rt ilroad owes Linn county the sum ol $2,6oS.83 with $531.7? as penalty lor allnwine the taxes to become delinquent, and as far as other tax payers in Linn county areble to ascertain, there is no valid reason why this corporation should not pay what is due the county as well as the ordinary individual.

A' new system of draughting and fitting patterns is . being taught this tern in the Domestic Arts department at the college.

The class is the lareest ever enrolled in this work and everything is progressing nicely. A letter received by a friend in thia city from Johnny Irwin, for a long time tbe popular deputy county clerlt ol Ben ton county, gyes much news ot lnieress concerning himself and other Corvallis- ites now at Waterville, Wash. That Mr. Irwin made a wise decision in leaving Corvallis and that tbe world has treated him well since, is evideuced by his letter, for he writes : "The Corvallis boys here are not starving to deatu by any means. Ira Hunter is manager of a company store here at a salary of $90 per month and hia goods at coat, which is as good or better than $100, and at the last city election he was elected mayor . for two Rra. Dell Alexander ia back here to work at $100 per month. miss jtoae Horton is teaching in the public school here at $70 per month and the scnool is not nearly so badly crowded here as there, which makes tbe work lighter. 1, mwplf. set 8s Der month salary irom the Columbia Grain Company and was alitor! nitv treasurer which will pay at TtiA nffinn work as least v pci ilium..!. . - v . i it, li.rht manv weeks I do not do M lUit - J aa much as I did in the clerk's office in rwvallia in one day." .
