A STORY OF THE DAY.

The first chapter Of a story, now
running in the annals Of the courts,
entitled 'Tha Children's Heritage, or
The Lost School Fund.-" was concIud-
ed in this city last Saturday. The
legend relates that ii certain legislature
at Il certain time passed an act for the
di5membcrment of a certain county of
Oregon named Benton; that new
county, named Lincoln, was formed
from the western half of Benton; that
the school fund Of the original county
was divided with the new coun-
ty, but that the county named Lincoln
desired a further division the same
as though no apportionment had been
made The legend goes on in sub
stance AS follows: Upon application Of
Chas. Booth, superintendent of schools
for Lincoln county, Il writ was granted,
in said county, on the | 7th day Of May,
by Circuit Judge Fullerton, requiring
the superintendent of Benton county
to apportion to the several districts
within the county Of Lincoln their pro
rata proportion OF the said school fund
for the year 1893 the same us if said
county had not been created, ETC., Or
that he appear at chambers before the
judge at Corvallis on the 10th day of,
June, and show cause why he had not
made such apportionment. Mr.. Bryan,
the Benton county superintendent, uid
not apportion the fund as commanded,
but appeared before the judge at the
place and date named, and by his at
torneys moved for IL dismissal of the
writ on the grounds afforded by sec
tion GO4 of Oregon laws, which re-
quires that similar actions shall be con-
ducted in the county in which the de-
fendant exercises his functions. The
action having been commenced in
Lincoln county, the judge dismissed |
the writ and assessed the costs against
the plaintiff.
Mr.. Bryan was thus miraculously
rescued from the clutches of the Lin
coin county court. This would be a
charming finale to the story, but
it will be a serial remains to
be seen.

ROAD WORK,

The road machines recently pur-
chased by the county have proven a
great success as is evidenced by the
result accomplished on the state road
in a short time. The railroad plow
is necessary auxiliary of the machine
and the amount paid for the one in
use was money well spent. The work
now progressing on the state road
looks very much like the county
means business. This thorouohfare Is
beautifully graded from Corvallis to
the Record bridge, IL distance Of five
miles, and it seems like a dream to
those who travelled the road. the past
winter. At one point the worimen
recovered several hundred rails and a
couple of cords of wood which had
been thrown into the uninviting
quagmire at various tines to facilitate
passage. AT this particular place the
boys rather expected to unearth the
remains Of horses, wagons and
human beings, but such evidence of
the former condition of the road did
not come to light.
In the next road district south of
the Record place we understand that
the farmers did not show up to APP
ply their road work while the ma
cline was ready to assist them, so 1t
was taken to the Buttes, where con
siderable of the road had been plowed
up ready for the scraper, and it was

HET TO TIE LINE.

There Is a large amount of money
now being spent for street improve
ments in the city Of Corvallis, and
to the injustice of charging the cost
to the general city fund there Is the
added objection that the work is not
being done in Il systematic manner, il
| that 1t does not conform to the grades
! as established by careful survey.
Not long since, the city paid between
| 5000 and 500 for a survey which es-
/ tabiished a uniform system OF street
grades. This WAS regarded as a
necessary preliminary to street i'm
proVement, and it. was. The ohjec-
tlons to working TO the established
grade are that the services Of an en-
giueer would I've necessary and that
the cost Of grading the streets. iii
conformity with the survey would be
too great. The first objection is
not well founded for the reason that
aside from the propriety Of doing the
work properly, an engineer could set
the grade stakes on a number Of
streets in very short time, after
which the work could be prosecuted
as indicated without his presence.
There is no doubt that the present
fourdollnr a-lay street superintendent
Or some other one could follow the
directions Of the grade stakes. The
additional expense of the actual
grading could not be very great be
cause the streets are Comparatively
level, ana the grabs are established
with 4 view to economy in COZ 6 rue
ton as well as to surface drainage and
appearance. The old method Of
working county roads ought not to
prevail in the street work III a city of
the pretentions of Corvallis. The
rainy season shows mp the defects of
the old way to great advantage.
Councilman Waggoner has persist
emily fought the pothering method of
street improvement and 1t is sincerely
hoped that other members will see the
merits Of his position. 4 large
amount Of promiscuouS work had been
done on Second and Madison streets
prior to their improvement according
to modern plans. All could see the
chagrin of property-owners on these
streets who were compelled to pay
about 25 cents per load to have hauled
away from in front Of their property
the gravel which had cost them Il dol
lar per load; then, when ''grad=" "'was
reached pay Is cents per yard to have
it returned. This was Il result of pre-
vious hap-haztrd methods. 1t is the
custom now for the city 20 gravel
here and there without regard to es-
tablished grades, and some day some
body will have to pay heavily to have
it dug up and hauled away, or pay to
have it covered with loose earth, then
more gravel. Since we need street
Improvements, the council may as we'll
take the bull by the horns at once,
order the work according 10 the pro-
visions of the charter and assess the
cost against the property affected.
