On the 18th of January the supervis-

contractors be fined $40 per day, and

dent Woodward, &l35, were presented
to the treasurer duly audited by the
building comNIttee, and the same were
paid IN full. No deduction was made
as directed by the supervisors, and the
result is that the county paid $l55 for
experimenting $751; 30 worth Of actual
work performed. Ii the order OF the
supervisors had been observed, the Or
igInal claim for work would have been
reduced $l57.52. and the superinten-
dents pay TO SO. making a clean saw

that the committee intends to allow the

recover when the building is finished.
Or there may be sufficient sum due

final settlement.

With Handouts On.
The circle of the liberty of James
Kew looked to be narrowing percept-
IDLY when he entered the superior
court yesterday under the restraints OF
a pair of handouts. The purpose of
the young mans visit was 10 secure his
temporary liberty by giving bail in the
SUM OF 5000. When Donald l.. Thomp-
son and Charles Bateman held up their
hands to Justify" the matter looked
dubious. for Ills Honor could find but
little III the pecuniafy responsibility OF
the gentlemen TO encourage the contin-
uance OF the ceremony. At length Mr..
Bateman again showed mp his hand and
SAID and swore that he had personal
effects subject to execution TO the
amount OF 5000, and then the recog-
nIzanco of the three men MAS taken.
Kew was accompanied by his Young
aud faithful Little wife, whose faithful
adherence TO the husband in distress
illustrates oue oi the sweetest things III
the world, or, as Drummond calls it.,
1.-THE greatest thing IN tie world" Kew
was released under the bond given by
Batenian and Thompson. The prisoner
is held on the charge of receiving stolen
goods.

DRAINAGE.

(Graduating essay read at the o. A. C. by
Jno. Fulton, class of 1917
The day is not far distant when the
western farmer must depend upon
something else than chance and ver-
ginity of soil to yield him remunera-
tion that will justify him to continue
agricultural pursuits. AS land be-
comes exhausted the diminution of
yield necessitates Improvement Of soil.
The first step to be taken in this di-
rection is through drainage, by which
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1891-06-26

glass, and on this same principle are
plants supplied with moisture in drain
ed lands during dry seasons. The
warm air circulates among the cool
particles of the soil and is condensed; !;
the principle being the same as that
by which we receive water when steam
is allowed to enter condenser the
worm of which is surrounded by a
colder medium. By this means are
plants supplied with water from the
atmospere.
Under this head we may remark
