From IS h street to the west line

street in bad condition and recon
mend that the paving be torn up anC
relaid on a proper sand cushion as th'
present one is less than one-half 0
the required depth, and that the bricI
be inspected as taken from the stree
! and the culls hauled from the work

brought pride to his family, his
trends and his alma mater. sPopu-
lar ever with young people, his
most notable friends were among
older people, for whom his uIifail-
ing respect and kindly attentions
begot a pure and lasting friendship.
He is widely mourned for his bril-
liant talents and his charming per
sonality, and a deep fountain of
sympathy wells out to those his
early death bereaves. By the loss
of his father he early became the
counsellor conhdant and chief reli-
ance of devoted mother to whom
his death has meaning that only
those who have passed under the
dark shadow can adequately COM
prehend. He was 22 years of age.

OVER EIGHTY PER MONTH.
The New Lights-Their Cost, Size and
Other Facts,

When the new arrangement for
street lighting for Corvallis is finally
worked out, the Eexpenses will
be about $s5 per month. The.
street committee, in the hands of
which the city council placed the
disposition of lights under the new
contract, made final touf over
town Saturday forenoon, and desig-
mated places where lights are to be
maintained. According to the
orders given the company at that
time, there will be 10 arc lights
and rs incandescents. The cost
of the arcs will be $50 and for the
incandescents $3.50. It is the ar
Tangement for the county to pay
one half the cost of maintaining the
arc on the Mary's River bridge.
-Four of the arcs are on Main
street, two. including the bridge
light on Third, one on fourth, one
on fifth, one on seventh and one on
eighth. On the principal streets
running East and west, Madison
has three, Monroe two and Jeffer-
son two. In addition to the lights
now in operation, the committee
has ordered one at the corner Of
Jefferson and Eighth.
In spite of the disappointment al
first expressed by some people, the
new arcs are larger than those il
use in neighboring towns. They
are considerably larger than is stip.
u1ated for in the contract of tn.
company with the city. They arr
rs ampere lights on 1o4 volts
while those in Albany, for instanc'
are only 6.6 ampere. The compa
ny selected the larger light realizin,
that on account of trees and foliag,
along the street and of the 1arg
! area, the city Corvallis is a hart
town to light.
The suggestion is made by som
that if the arcs were placed higher
better results would be secured
To this the company rejoins, tina
the lights are already placed fv
feet higher than the manufacturer
recommend for best results. Th
{ present height is Fl feet while tn
manufacturers say 22 feet is better
f. The reason for the lower altitude
, that in an arc light on an alternat
!. ing current, as is the case here tn
+ rays are thrown out horizontally
! and if placed too high muchy ligI
is lost. In direct current arcs th
, rays are thrown downward, and i
such the higher the lights the bette
; the results.

The Veteran Teacher.

Prof. S. I. Pratt is probably the
veteran teacher Of the county, now
actually engaged in school work.
Prof. Pratt is now engaged in his
24th year of continuous school
work. Fifteen years OF this serv-
ice have been devoted to the schools
of Benton county.
Prof Pratt is spending his fourth
year as principal of the Philomath
public school and is maintaining
the general satisfaction that has al
ways followed his labor.
+ Since Prof. Pratt began his work
in Philomath the parents and teach.
ers have been brought into closer
cooperation than ever before and
all regret that Prof. Pratt canno,
be with the school longer than the
present year.

There is rush of business at the

The time for getting the three per

next Tuesday evening. After that
taxes will have to be paid in full,
and at least one-half be paid by the
first Monday in April. Otherwise
a ten per cent penalty and twelve
per cent interest to the date of pay
ment will be added. This is the con-
dition that will increase the rush al
the sheriff's counter. About fifty
persons per day on an average, are
paying their taxes now, Las,

was over sixty. They were lined

A heavy rush is expected in par.

ever siuce the new law went into

lis to Connection with Dallas.
Agitation for rural telephones
has again appeared in Corvallis.
The building of their own lines by
farmers in Kings Valley was re-
Gently related in the TIMES. Many
of the farm homes in that locality
are now connected by wire, and the
building is not yet at an end. They
are connected with system which
runs into Dallas, and which in turn
connects with systems to the north
ward, stretching within ID miles of
Portland. The story is that the
farmers have, or are shortly to have
an independent switch board in
Dallas, with switching privileges
at very low rate. The Corvallis
agitation for rural phones is the re-
suit of a visit to Corvallis Monday
Of farmers who are about building
to the northward to a connection
with the Dallas and Kings Valley
lines. These farmers were George
Linderman and Robert Wiley, who
came to town to ascertain the cost
of wire with view of ordering a
supply. They propose to have
phone connections in some way,
even if they are driven to accept
the proposition to connect with the
Dallas system. They say the wire
and insulators costs but $12 per
mile; and that they can cut their
own poles. A FIRST class phone costs
them $I4. On this basis. they say.
since they can cut and plant their
own poles, they can afford to build
and equip their own lines. The
Kings Valley people have agreed,
they say, to build to the Wiles
place, provided they will join there
with line from Mountain View.
They say also that propositions
have been made for the system to
be carried into Albany.
The matter was discussed at a
meeting Of the Citizens League
Monday night. and a committee
was appointed to investigate the
matter with view to making Cor.
wallis the center and a part of a
rural phone system. The commit.
tee is County Judge Waters. Q. H.

will bring, she can easily lose it b.
