THE ROAD BILLs.-A large amount

THE ROAD BILLs.-A large amount
of money is asked, at the hands of the
present Legislature, for wagon roads in
various parts of the state. A number
of the wagon road bills are meritorious
and a larger number are not, but i5 is
difficult for majority of the legisla-
tors to distinguish them. On this ac-
count good and bad road bills usually
share the same fate. Then the evil is
augmented by large number of the
members introducing road bills for un-
deserving schemes, depending upon
the merits of others to carry them
through, or being content with the
failure of all. Senator Crosno intro
duced Il bill in the legislature asking an
appropriation of $4,000 to assist in
constructing a road from Tidewater,
in this county, to the mouth of Alsea
river, and from mouth of Fall creek to
Mackay's Landing, on Yaquina bay.
This is just measure and the amount
asked is none too large; but this bill
has met the fate Of all other road
bills, both good and bad, in that the
sum recommended was cut down one
half in the committee room. The peo-
pie of those sections have been ell
deavoring for number of years to OBJ
tain the improvements, have used com
mendable energy to accomplish their
purpose without state aid, and even
$4,000 would encourage them to renew
ed efforts.

CORVALLIS PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Few cities in the state have better
educational advantages than Corvallis.
The State Agricultural College, located
here, affords the best opportunity for
those who wish a practical, common
sense education. Our kindergarten,
where the little ones are taught their
A-B-C and how to make themselves
useful, is an institution of credit and
has accomplished much good. The
Corvallis College, a sectarian school
under the managem mt of the Method
ist Church, South, has large building
here and can accommodate many stu
dents. Bat that which should lie and
is the pride of every citizen is our pub
lie school, A good public school is
one of the most important acquisitions
of any city, and that Corvallis can
justly claim. The Compendium, an
educational journal published at Rose
burg, beside publishing an illustration
of the Corvallis public school building,
gives the following notice:
"The Corvallis public school build
ing is divided into eight we'll lighted
school rooms of uniform size, each with
ii seating capacity of about sixty-three.
The building is heated by steam and
supplied on each floor with water from
the city water works. Ventilation
without cold drafts is provided for by
having cold air pass through the rtdia-
tors before it passes through the room.
The building has wide halls its entire
length on each floor and from each Of
these halls branch off the cloak rooms

the building could hardly have been
more admirably planned for school
purposes.
"Its cost was something over twenty
thousand dollars. 1t has now been
completed and occupied about one
year.
"Slx teachers are now employed,
five of whom received their education
at the Oregon State Agricultural Col
lege-the principal, Prof. B. w. Nc
Keen, being graduate of the Iowa
State Normal school. The course of
instruction covers nine years work.

this early in the year before. The

TAKEN INV. S. Williams, alias
Wilson, WAS arrested in Salem last
Monday and taken to Portland on a
charge of larceny and embezzelment.
Williams was recently from Nebraska.
He was introduced to Wiley B. Allen,
the Portland music dealer, by II. Hun
sakcr who recommended him as thor
ough and energetic salesman. On the
strength of this MIR. Allen emplCved
him on the 9th of January and VIII
liams started out on the road to sell
organs. The first instrument was Or
dered for secret society at Newburg,
but it was not wanted at New
burn and he took it to Independence
and sold it for $25 though the price was
$l00. -Four other instruments were
ordered in few days for Albany and
were disposed of to a Mr.. Harness liv-
ing near Corvallis with the exception
of one instrument which he sold twice.
Mr Allen is ont $l25, MIR. Harness
$lO0 and the Independence man $25.
After doing all this Williams was ar
rested in Salem by the sheriff while on
81 glorious drunk. NJ. Allen does not
think much of the Nebraska method
of doing business, and he proposes to
discourage future Innovations of this
kind by making Williams suffer the
penalty.
