Rehearsa1s Begin Wednesday.

Manager Glen, of the festival
to be given at Eugene next May
by the Willamette Valley Choral
Union, has been in Corvallis for
the past several days making ar
rangements for getting rehears-
al work under way in this city.
AS result of his labors, rehears-
ais will begin next Wednesday
night at the college chapel, and
will occur once each week for the
present. All local vocalists,
who desire to join the chorus,
and have a determination to
practice faithfully and participate
in the festival at Eugene, are in
vited to appear at the college
chapel Wednesday evening at
74S. Mr.. Otto Herse will di-
rect the Corvallis chorus.

Season Closed Sunday.

The season for killing China
pheasants closed Sunday. Game
Warden Quimby estimates thai
5000 upland birds have beer
killed since the season opened.
Mr.. Quimbv believes there
have not been so many viola
items OF the law as during formel
seasons, but there was enough to
keep him and his deputies busy.
In fact, at the present time, sew
era1 cases are pending. The
Warden has confiscated one case
sent from Benton county and
consigned to parties in Seattle,
as we'll as three other lots from
other places intended for San
Francisco parties. One of the
latter confscation was shipped
by a banker in Salem, who
claims that the birds were for
friends in San Francisco, and
while that is undoubtedly the
truth, it is just as much an in
fringement of the law as though
they were actually for sale. If
the Warden winked at one per-
son for sending birds out of the
state to friends, he would soon
have his hands full, as many
persons would sell them outside
and claim that they were giving
hem away to friends. The line
must be drawn somewhere.

New School House at Monroe.

The new school house of the Moaroe
district is nearing completion. On ac-
count of scarcity of material during thu
past summer and fall its completion ha,
been retarded very much to the regret o
the board of directors who wanted fall
term of school. According to the con;
tract it should have been completed q
month ago. 1t is now painted and plas
tered. The windows have been placed
in the casing and the blackboards have
been completed. The building presents
most attractive appearance. When it
is entirely completed it will be one of the
best school houses in the county, The
rooms are so arranged that by opening
folding doors the two rooms can be made
into one large room. The halls and
cloak rooms are most conveniently ar
ranged.
Such building as this is credit to
the entire county. 1t will do much to-
ward building up Monroe. It will cause
many Of the citizens of southern Benton
to 60 to Monroe during the winter to ed
ucate their children. This will no doubt
be the cause of many new dwellings be-
ing built The citizens of this district
are to be complimented on their progress
sive spirit, The clerk, Adam Wilhelm
Jr., and the board, Mat Wilhelm, James
Martin and James Pfouts deserve great
praise and credit for their efforts in Sc
curing such an excellent addition to
Monroe. With such officers in charge
a wide awake and successful school is
insured.
