Four of these families left us some time ago to stay and and the others are new recruits picked up along the. lines by the prodigals returning home. One by one they come to partake of the fatted calf. Mrs. L. E. Casteel of Yaquina was an over Sunday visitor in Corvallis ai the home of her aunt, Mrs. Mary Barber.

The fact that this is the twelth season for this play is a most conclusive proof that good, clen, wholesome theatri cal -productions are always wel comed and generously patronized by the theatre-going public. -The comedy is so closely interwoven with bits pf pathos and such sensational incidents as 1 would actually occur in the lives of such people as exist in "Ihe Missouri Girl," that the entirety is a revelation in simplicity and interest in play building.- Mr. Raymond has equipped the play with the best" of acces sories, and has spared no expense in making this production one thoroughly worthy the patron- 1 age accorded it.

They come from the hop fields, the coast, the.mountains, . the country and nearly every quarter like a flock of sheep returning to the. fold. The rooms will be crowded to .their fullest capacity and it will be necessary to exorcise some degree of patience on the part of teacher and pupil in getting ready for-business. The board baslised every exertion : to pro- i vide for the wants of our.j'oung people and we predict a success- ful year in every department. HIGHWAY DRAINAGE. Tiles; Are Best For Gravel or Stone 'Roads. - broken stone placed upon an ondrained ; foundation Is almost sure to sink grad ually, whatever Its thickness, whereas a thinner layer upon an traderdrained roadbed will give much better service. "Roads tiled without gravel are better than roads graveled 'without tile." - The road should be underd rained bo m to keep the water level well below the road surface. In most localities this can be accomplished reasonably well by laying a line of farm tile three or three and a half feet below the road i surface along one side of the road- way- " 13 sometimes claimed that there ould be a tile, on each side of Some writers on good rqads advocate the use of a line of tile unBer the mid dle of the traveled portion, and some, advocate &; line on each side of the wheel way. . The object sought by the.se tiles is rapid .drainage, and therefore it is urged that they should.be laid near the surface.- It is doubtful whether any Water will reach the tile, since the I road surface when wet is puddled by ; Baffin wtilnh ninit0 . im..K J percolatine throueh the soil, and it is ; certain thatdn clay or loam the drain-v i age thus obtained is of no practical ? value- More tnan one.rarmer nas mea j preciable effect. While a line of tile on. one side of. the road is usually sufficient, there is often a great difference as to the side on which it should be laid. If one side of the road is higher than the other, the tile should be- on the high side to intercept the ground water that - ia flowing down the slope under the sur face. The tile should be laid in the bottom of the silt ditch below the frost ; line. Of course the tile should have a uni form grade and a sufficient fall and an adequate outlet. The size of the tile required will depend upon the length of the line and the grade of the ditch, but local experience in farm drainage is likely to be a better guide than any. general statement that can be made. Farm drainage is almost certain to precede road drainage in any particu lar locality. , . The side djtches are to receive the water from the surface of the traveled .way find should, carry it rapidly and entirely away from the roadside. They are usef ul also- to intercept 'and carry off the . water that would otherwise flow from the side hiHff upon the road. Ordinarily they need not be deep and if possible should, have a broad, flar ing ' side toward the' traveled way to prevent accident if a vehicle should be crowded to the "extreme side' of. the roadway. The outside bank should be flat enough to prevent caving. The proper form of ditch is easily made by the usual road machine or road grad er The' side ditch should have a' free outlet into some stream so as to carry the water entirely away from the road. No '.good" road ;can be obtained 'with side, ditches that hold the water 'until I" it evaporates. .' Much . alleged road work is a posi tive damage for this reason. Piling up the earth In the middle of the rbad is perhaps in itself well enough, but leav ing undralned boles at the side of the road, probably more than counterbal ances the benefits' of the embankment. A road between long artificial ponds is always inferior and is often impassa ble. It is cheaper and better to make a lower embankment and to drain thoroughly the holes at the side of the roads. Often the public funds can" be more wisely used in making ditches in adjoining private lands than in mak ing ponds at the' roadside in an at-' tempt to improve the road by raising the surface. " Naw Dust Killing Machine. Consul General Robert J. "Wynne re ports that a new tar spraying machine which the makers Claim will do' away with the dust nuisance has been tested 0n,6 ad,wav. ln -f,ront ofTtne, Ho- fore practically the whole of the mu nicipal engineers, a large number of county surveyors and suburban engi neers 'and two .representatives- -appointed by ' the war office. After the tar spraying . process a second machine scattered a' level.-layer of granite grit and chips upon .the tar. which when rolled -formed -a road with a '.fine, smooth surface, durable and dustless. A tar macadam road made" in this way costs from 3s. 6d. to 4 shillings (85 to 97 cents) a square yard as against ordi nary macadam, which costs on an av erage 2s. 6d. (60 cents) a square yard. - Useful Trees For Roads. French roads are commonly border ed with shad trees. This is believed to be a protection of the roada against the effects of ' excessive heat and drought. Only such trees, however, are considered useful as have vertical ly descending roots. The spreading roots of other, kinds might damage the road. .. . Preventive of M ud. . Liquid asphalt as a dust and mud preventive is used in preference to all other materials by the highway au thorities of the District of Columbia. --.. w f- v O&S&ON BUILDERS Are you doing what yon : ORKGON NEEDS PEOPLE SetHftw. honest Farmers, Mechanic-Merchant.
