What Man Said About it The Plan
of the Directors-School Bonds.


The bond election occurs Mon
day. The plan of the school board
is to be given authority to issue
.$S, 900 school bonds. No payment
dother than interest is to be made
ON the bonds for 10 years. AT
the end of that period, one bond OF
$1,000 is to be paid off each year
until all are paid, That makes the
people who ars then resident of the
district and getting the benefit of
the improvements now to be made,
assist in the payment Of the prin
.cipa1 of the debt to be incurred.
At the present rate OF growth,
there will be a great many more
speople' then, than there afe now, to
help pay off the bonds as they fall
due year oy year. The last bond
will not have to be paid until IS
years after the bonds are issued.
The directors have assurance that
the bonds can be hoated On basis
of four per cent interest.
The district now has $4,000 in
bonds outstanding, They bear
five per cent interest. One ST, 900
bond has to be paid each year. In
= the plan of the directors. it is hoped
to have money enough left after
making necessary improvements, to
redeem some of the present out
standing bonds, thereby reducing
the interest rate on portion Of the
present debt from five to four per
scent.
=. The reason the school board
wants authority to issue bonds, is
to get money to make more room
for pupils at the public school in
Corvallis. There is not accommo-
: dation enough in the school build
ing for the pupils that are already
in attendance. One ordinary room
had to be partitioned last year to
make room for two grades It was
originally intended for but one, and
the consequence was that the par
..titioning made bad light, an over
crowding. foul air and sick pupils.
In addition, the primary grade was
conducted in tho old Evangelical
church building, wholly unsuited
for the purpose. The playground
of the little children was on the
sidewalk or in the muddy street.
Bad arrangements for ventilation
kept the little pupils and their
teacher with colds half the winter.
IF all escaped the seeds of con-
sumption, it is fortunate.
Even with these added facilities,
all theIooms in the school build
ing were oveIcrowded the past year.
Some teachers had as high as sixty
pupils, No teacher can properly
accommodate more than 4o.In such
crowds, some of the pupils are nee
essarily neglected. A start in bad
scholarship is made for them. that
perhaps follows them through life
Maybe it ultimately ruins. So, for
these and other reasons, the direct
ors want to add two or three or
four more rooms to the facilities for
teaching school children in Corval-
lis. The natural growth of the
town makes it certain that things
will be so crowded next year that
besides the old church, still an
other outside room will have to be
provided to house the children.
May be it would have to be an old
unoccupied warehouse. Mon
days election will show whether
the parents in town want their
children as welleeared for, as they
do their horses This is what a
man said yesterday.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY

1 Under old business methods q young
man who sought employment in some
.~~~ great house must
appealto his friends
cAsaees' for bonds" To-
day, says the Chicago Interior, he must
appeal to a guaranty company; and
the first question asked him is: do
you gambler" The second is: "no
you dfink?" II he cannot answer:
"No" to each, and back up his reply
by the evidence of his friends, he may
pound stone, but he cannot handle
cash. The Sunday school has now a
powerful assistant in the packing
house and the bank. The area in
which q young man may sow wild oats
ds being narrowed every year, and the
young man who "must have his fling" "
may have it out on the levee, but not
on Wall street. Fathers and moth
ers do not send detectives to the race
track to see who is betting on horses
there. but the bond companies do; and
many . young fellow who sneered at
his mothers fearful entreaty has lis
tened very humbly to the words of the
president Of the company which holds
his future in its hands.

NOT BUYING ODD wARsH1ps,
The Reasons why Germany Decided
Not to Acquire the Ships Being
Bullt for Argentina and Chill.

The German navy department, after
considering the proposal that Germany
purchase the four battleships being
constructed for Argentina and Chill in
England and Italy, has decided not to
do so, for two reasons. First, because
the government is not willing, in view
of the present state Of the imperial
finance, to ask the reichstag for the
$17,5oo,0o0 required; second, because
the general staff of the navy does not
wish to incorporate into the German
navy guns of different calibers, and
turret machinery and other essential
features of warships which are not
similar to those in use on German
board-built vessels. It is pointed out
that the present homogeneity of the
navy would be impaired were the four
warships to be acquired by Germany,
as the gunners can now be changed
from ship to ship without loss of their
efficiency. But if the four foreign
built vessels were taken over with
their armament separate stocks of am
munition and differently drilled crews
would be necessary. It is also assert
ed that the construction of all four of
the ships is SO far advanced that the
German constructors would be unable
to change the plans.

HIS COURAGE FAILED HIM.
French General Unable to Fasten
Decoration of Legion of Honor
ON Woman's Dress.

Mime. earlier, who was awarded the
Legion of Honor for bravery during
the Armenian troubles, has been in
vested by Gen. Florentine, grand chan
cellor of the order. Nine. earlier, who
was accompanied by two friends, was
received in state by the general staff
in full uniform. After reading the de-
cree comforting the decoration the
generals troubles began. Heattempt-
ed to fasten the cross on her breast,
after the usual custom and at first ex-
perience considerable difficulty in get
ting the pin through the material Of
the madam's dress. When that was ac-
complished the general found he had
struck an unlucky spot. The pin in
variably stuck in her corset. After
several futile efforts the general gave
up and laid the cross on the desk be-
fore her. The next part of the cere-
mony is the accolade, or kiss on both
cheeks. Here his courage failed COM
pletely. After a pause he requested
madam to remove her glove, and then
he kissed her hand. He afterwards es-
corted her to the door, expressing his
regrets.

SCARLET FEVER SERUM.
a New Discovery Made In Berlin Said
to Successfully Combat the
Disease.

Scarlet fever is likely to be elm
mated from the list of dangerous dis
eases, should the claims of Prof.
Adolph Baginsky, director of the Kali
ser and KaiserinFrederich hospital for
children, at Berlin, for "a, newly dis
covered serum prove true.
Prot. Baginsky modestly disclaims
the credit for the discovery of the Sc
rum, which has been named antistrep-
tococcus, and which has been applied
with undoubted success at the hos
pital under his charge.
The discoveries now made public are
the result of IL years uninterrupted
research and experiments. In that Pc
Rod 7e1 patients have been subjected to
the antistreptococcus serum treat
ment, with the result that the char
acter of scarlet fever has been def
nitely established and its germ CLASH
fed with bacteria. The percentage of
deaths has been reduced to such an ex-
tent that only eight per cent. of scar
let fever patients succumbed. Prof.
Baginsky said:
II began my Investigations in 1891.
My object then was to determine the
nature of the disease. The only credit
which I appropriate in the discovery
is that I proved that scarlet fever has
a microbic origin, known as streptococ-
Gus.
after I had investigated large
number of cases to prove the recur-
renee of streptococcus, this germ
served as basis for further expert
ments by Herr Aronson, and after con-
tinued laboratory experiments, in
GLIDING injections of streptococcusin into
rabbits and horses, Herr Aronson pro-
duced the 'antistreptococcus,' with
which our researches were continued
