For a substan tial city and a city beautiful the provisions -named are even more necessary than some ' of the very apparent needs, hence the sug gestions at this time.: The coun cil can take action on these three questions at any,single meeting night. The Gazette-Times would like to : publish before Setember 15 the fact that the council had taken favorable action as hoped for. But the stubborn old thing probably wouldn't do it, just be cause the suggestion has been made, so there! NO DANGER OF HASTE. A fear that offiicials clothed with greater power might push too strenuously along progressive lines, led some men to vote against the new charter. Men in favor of a certain amount of improvement at such times as it will not prove too burdensome on taxpayers, voted against the charter simply fpr the reason that talk of street paving, side walks, curbs, w ater works, etc. , had rasped their nerves too stren uously. These had begun to feel that the instant a new charter was passed the city of Corvallis would be turned topsy-turvy, perhaps plunged heavily into debt, and property owners all 1 but forced to dispose of their holdings in order to. keep from going to the poor-house. Imagi nation can greatly increase "the size of an apparent but misunder stood danger,' and this paper feels that an excited imagination caus- j 2.1 j. . . f eu more man a iew votes to go wrong yesterday. The Gazette Times has confidence in the pres ent council as ;a safe and sane combination anxious to nush im provements, Tbut not more rapidly than a majority of the citizens desire. The city council is more than likely to wait for petitions in the matter of large improve ments rather than attempt to force any situation. Doubtless it will show a progressive spirit, and exhibit a real stiff .backbone in matters Vhere it has been forced to attempt bluffs tieretrt- j fore, but beyond this the council is more than likely to look for inspiration from the people whose servants it is. The city council is composed of -fairly able and well-intentioned men who will hardly abuse the power entrusted to them. The Gazette-Times looks for a successful adminis- ; own wm met with defeat.

Realizing that she had been I deserted, Mrs. Ellis made cry for help, but no answer came, save the echo of the caves. Thus she sat for four hours, nursing the dying man and hop ing for aid. In her' desperate efforts to save his life she : tore up her white underskirt 'and filled theNr ound with- bits of rags to stop the ebbing life blood, until finally he died. . Crawls, Saturated With Blood. Exhausted and nearly over come with grief. Mrs. Fllis began to crawl on Tier hands 'and knees over the slinnerv floor in an effort to. find the eiiidp string, which fortunately had hot been broken in the retreat. This she secured to . a rock and laid it on her dead husband's bodywith the intent, if she failed to reach the mouth of the cave, of return ing there. Then, with her clothes saturat. ed with blood from wounds of her husband, Mrs. Ellis started out and by fortunate circumstances finally reached a line of light and the cave entrance and thence walked over the precipitous moun tain to a settlement nearly four miles away. Woman Presents Awlnl Sight " The sight presented by the un fortunate woman ; was awful. Smeared 'from head to foot with blood, her clothing torn, her hair hanging and disheveled, the un fortunate woman's appearance shocked all beholders. c ; She was brought here today, a nervous wreck, after a strain of 30 hours, five of which she had spent in the dark recesses of the cave watching the life of her husband ebb away. Her condi tion is precarious. v; Officers say a most . grewsome sight was presented where the the body was found, as theopen ing through which he had at tempted to enter was bespattered with blood and his brains. In the fall his skull had been crack ed. The strangest feature of the case, which cannot be fathomed at this, time, is the action of Vineyard and the women in- not returning to the cave. - After their panic-stricken bolt f rom'the cave, they notified Joe Fetzner of what had occurred. He went to the nearest telephone and summoned aid, but Vinevard and his party were so excited and frightened that they hastened to his father's ranch at the hearl nf Williams Creek and could not be prevailed upon to return.' M. D. Ellis, father of the vic tim, arrived today from Dallas and will take charge of the body, which is expected to arrive here some time this evening.
