BAD FINANCIAL CONDITION.
May Have a Five Months Term
Next Year in Dist. No. 9,
Unless a Loan is Author
lied.

The school board of Corvallis district find
I themselves without funds with which to pay
the teachers, probably on account of delin-
quent county taxes. The teachers now
carry two months unpaid warrants, and
| will have to take warrants for their services
during the coming two three months.
The county superintendent will apportion
the school money In the hands of the county
, treasurer, on the third Monday in April,
and by the time that money reaches, in its
circui5ous way, the teachers, they will have
warrants for five months wages to absorb
the same.
The district is in bad financial condition,
and the c;jz3ns, at tic coming meeting in
March, VIII have a p-oblana to solve in
relation thereto. The stste treasurer has
announced that there is no state money on
hand to distribute among the various coun.
ties, and the loss of this fund alone will
cause deficit of about $500. In addition
to this, the Insurance the school building
will expire a.d have to be renewed tho con-
lug August, the premium for which will he
about 500.
The ta:. voted at the last annual school
meeting was cAlcn'ated upoa a basis Of more
tlan S., 000 900 wort, of properly IN the
district, while t:.s l&a5 aesessmen5 made by
the coonty assessor reduces the amount to
about GS25. 900, thu, cutssiag off another in
come, all Of which puts our district in a bad
condition.
Ihere ID general bonded indebtedness of
$4,000, and special Indebtedness o. 81, 200,
the interest ON both Of which smoInts must
be paid. In addition to this, there are
delinquent on the tax roll for 1893, about
$500. The salaries of jaai5or and teachers
amount to $t55 per mon5h. To this sum :
must be added cost Of wood, water rent and
miscellaneous expenses, sfh:ch Will bring

$500
This statement, however, is misleading
for the reason that the $500 due from the
state will not be obtainable this ysar and
there will probably be delinquent on the
1894 roll sum equal to that due from
1893, or $500 Thus, it is plain to be
seen that in addition to the deficit shown
from the state treasurer and delinquent
taxes, making total deficit of theoreti-
cally $1,000.
This places the board in peculiar posi-
ton. The tax levy for this year was voted
at the school meeting last March, and
though it is now seen chat insufficient funds
will be provided for the schools needs by
such levy, the board is powerless to act in
the matter. Unless the citizsns, at the
meeting next March, authorize the board
TO negotiate a loan sufficient to carry on the
work with, there will only be enough
money received from all sources to main
tain the school during a period of five or
six months.
These matters are fully set forth at this
time by the GAZETTE in order that The tax
payers may have ample time in which to
look over the situation and come to some
definite understanding before the next
school meeting It is really unfortunate
that there is such large deficit, as every
one is now fully aware of tie depressed
condition of the times and all are unani-
nous in demanding reduction of taxa
tion.
The affairs of the district during the past
year have been very economically admins
tered, and the. school is in splendid con.
dition In each department work is progress
ing nicely. During tho past few years it
has made rapid strides in the efficiency of
the work carried Oh until now the Corvallis
pliblic school is the equal of any in the
state. This result has been attained large.
Ty through the patient, painstaking efforts of
she board, which kas been fortunate in seenr-
ing an able and efficient cnrps OF teachers. To
Professor S. I. Pratt, the energetic and
painstaking principal, the district is also
indebted for much OF the success which the
school has attained during the past two
yeare. During his princ;palship, the
schools advancement has perhaps been
mere marked than during any ether period
Of It's existence.
With the school enjoying such fatter.
ing success it ia unfortunate that the dis.
tricts exchequer is in such depleted con
dition. The fact that only sufficient funds
will be had for maintaining the school
five months during the scholastic year be-
ginning next September, it would seem nee
easary to authorize a loan of at least s., COO.
With this amount the school could be
maintained two months longer Under
these circumstances the teachers might agree
to teach one month without pay. This
would provide for eight months, which is
probably the very best that can be expected.

AN ENCHANTED TABLE.

The third table on the left side, as one
passes into the dining room of the popular
hotel of this city. known as the Occidental,
has attained quite notoriety as the Alma
Mater of no less than eight newly married
bridegrooms. During the last eighteen
months these grooms, who are now enjoying
the companionship of happy wives in their
own houses, have sat at this table, while
Schmidt catered TO their solitary appetites.
The first to succunab to the Establishments of
Cupid was Alex Rennie, then came John
Rowe, Frank Lilly, w. e. Chandler, Ed
Dunn, Ell. D. Horner, Fred Nelson and
Theo Schni.zlein. Just what influence has
pervaded this table it is impossible to s.y.
Could it be on account of the charming little
girl who sometimes brings the pudding, or
is there some subtitle quality in the pudding?
We leave that for metaphysicians to
determine. Today one solitary bachelor
sits at that table, grobabyl daring the fates
to do their worst, while suhjccting himself
to the same Influences under which his COM
rades fell. This solitary ones name is A.
w. Rose, which reminds US of that beautiful
poem:
The last Rose which Schnitzlein left
eating alone;
All his jolly companions have wiltsd and
gone;
No male of his kindred, no .schumrny~ is
nigh;
He sits al alone with q tear in his eye.

Giving Currency to & Line.

A successful man of letters can give to 8 line or phrase more currency by quoting it in single article than it has enjoyed perhaps in centuries before In the best work the wisdom or beauty of a sentiment actually suffers sometimes from the wealth by which it is sur rounded. Where the general level is very high, there are few saliences, and an expression that would attract atten- tion by it's very loneliness in an inferior writer may pass unnoticed in an excel lent. Yet, once severed from its con- text, it's special merit is immediately apparent, and it passes from lip to lip and pen to pen. It may sometimes hap pen, too, that to be much quoted means to be little read. Campbell is respon- sible for many of our most familiar phrases-for instance, Distance lends enchantment to the view," Angel visits, few and far between," and Coming events cast their shadows be- fore''-yet how many people now read either ''The Pleasures of Hope' or Gertrude of Wyoming?" The verdict of our own time has gone in favor of his great martial odes of ''The Battle of the Baltic, " of "Ye Mariners of Eng land" :" of 'Hohenlinden" and of ''The Soldiers Dream" but of these only. The fact of his furnishing us with lines to quote is witness to that patient in- dustry in polishing by which he repaired his real defect of striking original pow er.-Temple Bar

docks of the country of rats. Now, that is all there is to rat catching. The work isn t dangerous, except when you tackle the rats on a ship. When the Spanish training ship was here, I took 15G rats off her. They were not like the house rats we have here. They were slim and gray, with tails twice as long as their bodies. They were as active as monkeys.
 ''To give you an idea. have a lit tie dog that has killed 50 rats in IS minutes. Iput 20 of these ship rats into pit with him, and at tho end of 30 minutes he had only killed seven. They did not fight him, but they simply kept out of his way, jumping over him when he would rush.
 ''But, as I was a-saying, the time was when a rat catcher had money to burn. twas a dull night that he didn' t clear his $25 or $35. Now he can t make that i'll week ill the busy season, including what he gets for trimming dogs ears, selling ferrets and things like that. When you have to deal with real estate agents, you ain't going to get none the best of it..
 "Did you ever try the scheme of bell ing rat? They say that will scare all the other rats away?'
 "I only know this: If you put bell on rat, he will be found dead in the walls inside of two days. It is ny be- lief that the other rats kill him; but, say, if you ever want to stir up rat colony. catch one old fellow, smear him with phosphorOus paste and send him on his travels.
 ''m the winter l sell great many live rats to the medical colleges. They use them in experiments. There is big tannery over i'll Newark that gives cents apiece for rat hides. The skin must be perfect, however.
 ''The least tear makes it no good and it is hardly worth while skinning them, so many are rejected, They tan the skin soft, like kid, and tan it with the hair on. The skins are not used to make kid gloves They told me the last time I took 12 dozen over there that they were used for lining gloves. "-New York World
