Keeps Postmastmaster Busy.

Postmaster Johnson's loss is
other peoples gain, at least SO
far.as Corvallis is concerned his
loss in sleep other people gain is
in getting the Portland evening
papers the same day as printed
besides other mail matter fully
10 hours earlier than usual. The
new passenger train besides be-
ing a great accommodation to
Corvallis people, carries mail
both ways bringing US in touch
with the outside world by the
stretch of nearly half day which
means much. Postmaster John
son or his deputy are required to
be on guard from early in the
morning until late at night.
The new arrangement makes
Corvallis quite metropolitan and
it is beginning to dawn on Mr..
Johnson that metropolitan SAL
ary ought to 60 along with this
added convenience. The addi-
tional salary will come If the
Office can be raised to a higher
class by the increased mail dis
tribution. That remains to be
seen. More mail matter passes
through this Office without doubt
than through any Office of its
size in Oregon. In the mean
time Burt is sorely tried but is in
no immediate danger of moral or
physical collapse.

School Question Decided.

The case Of ]. R. Fehler VS.
School District No. Il of Ben
ton county came up before Judge
Hamilton on argument of de.
murrer, filed by the school dis
trict, to the alternative writ.
The judge fled an opinion and
issued an order sustaining the
demurrer.
The court decides that the
word 'may' as used in section
33Se of the code is simply per-
missive, and not intended by the
legislature to be mandatory,-as
'shall. This leaves the matter
of transferring a child to another
distiict wholly to the sound dis
cretion of the school directors.
Yates & Yates appeared for the
defendant district and w. s. Nc
Fadden for the plaintiff.

ed and highly appreciated by all
who heard him. The PERSONAL
ity of the speaker was very i'm.
pressive and striking, being a
large man with a voice very
deep and resonant. Mr.. Sobie-
ski belongs to a line of Polish
princes and had it not been for
the partition of his country
nearly a century ago, he would
have been in direct line for sue
cession to the throne. He is de-
voting his life to the cause OF
temperance, and gave a very un-
BIASED presentation of the sali-
ent points of his subject.

The City Hall is to have a new
roof. The necessity for this has
existed for a number of yea1s.
Already no little damage has
been done to the walls and
plastering by each rainstorm.
Finally the city fathers laid
hold of the matter, with earnest
purpose, and at a special meet
ing, iheld Monday evening, an
ordinance was passed, which
authorizes and provides for the
work. The ordinance is care
fully drawn and amply safe
guards the ,city's Interests. The
contractors gave a bond of $500,
as a guarantee that they will
keep the roof free from leaks
for ten years, and at the end of
two, and again at the end OF
seven years, they will carefully
paint it, and they will replace
and paint all the cornice and
ornamental work removed by
reason of their work. The
material to be used is known as
rubberoid, and is claimed to be
Of great durability. It forms the
new roof on Hotel Corvallis.
1t will cost $454 and the work
will be done by w. H. Down
ing of Portland, representing
the Pacific Coast Rubber COM
pany. The work will commence
without delay.

Here is a little problem tn;

farmers may figure out for them
selves. It is a practical demon
stration that swine may be raised
with profit and buy feed. Smith
& Bouldsn four weeks ago bought
8 stock hogs, weighing 1905 lbs.
paying 81 cents live weight or
$52.75, which was IA cents
above the Portland market, so
they decided to feed them for a
raise in the price. They fed IS
sacks of shorts at cost of $13.15
The hogs when slaughtered
weighed 1910 pounds, a gain of
los pounds and were sold at 6
cents, amounting to $3.50, a
profit of $12.7o. If the hogs
had been weighed before being
killed, the weight would have
been nearly 500 pounds, that is
2 pounds OF shorts costing ~
cents will make pound of pork
at 6 cents.
