ELECTIONS AT A LATER DATE Preliminary Steps Being Taken to Ad mit Outlying Sections to City Limits. The College Hill People Are Anxious for Advantages. c j Mayor Watters, Attorney Bry son and the city council trav ersed yesterday the proposed new boundaries of Corvallis, and are reported to be practically agreed in favor of proposed ex tensions, though there is some doubt as to whether the addition of j that section across, Mary's river will prove of financial ad vantage to Corvallis. While there is considerable property across the river, the city would have to accept maintenance of the Mary's river bridge, and two or three smaller bridges "there, extend water and sewer systems v to -that section, and would be forced to move the pumping .station to a point further up the river. . The Proposed Lines However, the petition for en trance to the city will come from College Hill folks, 'tis said, and these are reported as favoring the following lines, which were traversed yesterday: Beginning at the Willamette driver at north line of the Hart tract, west along property lines to the S. P.r Tight of. way, north along same to the N. E. corner of the M. C- Miller tract, thence westerly following the county road past Wm. Crees' place to the Leadbetter corner at the Catholic cemetery; thence south to Corvallis and King's valley road, continuing southerly on western boundary of 0. A. C. property to Oak Creek. Down Oak Creek and Mary's river to the Carver right of way, south on the right of way to the south line of the J. C. Avery donation land claim, east and north on the Avery claim line to the Willam ette river. , The Legal Phase . As the G.-T. understands it, on the presentation of a petition outlining the territory that is de sired to be brought into the cor porate limits, an election will be held by the residents of thatter- r ritory. If a majority declare in favor of coming in. the city council will call an election for a decision of the people within the present limits, to determine whether they desire to let the outsiders in. Both For and Against The College" Hill people are said to be anxious to come into the city. There is no sewer sys tem on the hill and the people who live there are of the class that finds the open toilet un heathful and something of a crime. But they also feel that other outlying sections should be brought in. It is understood that the people across Mary's river do - not want city advan tages nor city taxes, and would vote not to come in. It is'rjomt- ed out, however, that so far as taxes is concerned the outsiders would ' find ' but ; sightly greater burden when , withm the citv limits. ' Last year those " outside the city had to meet a five' mill road tax, while if they come in the - city they will have to meet a seven mill tax. That makes a difference of but $2 on each $1000 of assessment Aside from the Fischer estate, but two men across the river are paying on more than $1000 worth of property. f" The matter of extending the city limits will be brought up at an early date and the minor de tails threshed out then. HOW TO CURE PEACH FRUIT-SPOT The Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology of O. A. C. has just issued a bulletin on 'Spraying for Peach Fruit Spot," A. B. Cordley and C. C. Cate be ing the authors. The" meat of the bulletin is contained in the following, summary. 1. Peach Fruit Spot probably causes a' loss to the peach and apricot growers of Oregon great er than that caused by, all other peach diseases " r 1 . r 2. The two seasons' work has demonstrated "conclusively ' that the disease" carijbei practically eliminated f rom" an orchard , by 3. Good results can be obtainr ed by spraying either with Bor deaux mixture Or with lime-sul phur solution. - The results so far are slightly in favor of the Bordeaux. " - 4. Some danger to foliasre ac companies summer SDraviner with either Bordeaux or lime-sulphur. Ineretore, care should be exer cised in preparing the spray and in not using it too strong. 5. The Fall application seeirs to be more efficient than anv oth er single one. It should be mac e as soon as possible after the late fruit is gathered. -If San Jose scale is present, lime-suhihur should be used; if not, Bordeaux may be used if preferred. This Fall application, is beneficial also. in controlling the peach twig blight It is possible that one annual Fall spraying may be all that is necessary to control the twig-blight and the fruit-spot. 6. Spraying just as the buds are swelling in Spring is useless as a preventive of peach fruit- spot This is, however, the most important application for the con trol of peach leaf curl and should not be omitted if this disease has been prevalent V 7. Peach fruit-spot attacks the fruit between about May 10 and June 15. 8. The first Spring sprayiner. therefore, should be done about May 10; the second about June 1. If the disease 1ias been unusually prevalent or if rainy weather favorable to the growth of the fungus occurs, the second appli cation may be 'made about May 20 to 25 and a third one about June 5 to 10. . - GELUTr SALE W.

WANTS BETTER THAN C. 8 A. Eugenites Listen to Mr. Carver's Pro posal to Build a Road for $40,000, but Prefer to Wait a Little While Before Making Decision. Stephen Carver, builder of the Corvallis & Alsea railway ' who 1 proposed to build fifteen miles of road in Lane county on a bonus of $40,000, was before the Eugene Commercial Club Monday night to make clear his proposition, but the Eugene people insist that they want something better than the C & A. Of the meet ing held the Engene Register says: : ' " "Pursuant to call a meeting was held at the Commercial club last evening to hear a prop osition from Stephen Carver to build a road from Eugene to Elmira a distance of 15 miles, for a bonus of. $40,000 and the right of way. ' President Thomp son called the meeting to order and read Mr. Carver's f proposi tion which was in effect that if the citizens 6f Eugene would se cure the right of way and deposit $40, 000 m the First National bank h?

"Mr. Carver was called . on and stated that he had 4 noticed from the Eugene1 papers that an" effort was' being made to raise $150,000 with which to build the first section of such a road as he proposed and he was ready to " build the same distance ' for a " bonus of $40,000. When ques-' tioned, Mr, Carver said he would not agree to build the . road any further or if he did he would want more money. He said his plan was to build so much and then work up tonnage for the amount completed before extend ing it on. He said it would coat ' $150,000 to $160,000 to build and equip a road from here to Elmira. "C. S. Williams followed Mr. Carver and said he thought Carver's proposition too indefi nite as he does not agree to ex tend the line beyond Elmira and what Eugene wants is a road to tidewater. Mr. Williams thoueht if the Carver - road to Elmira would be no better than his road out of Corvallis it could be built for the $40,000. Carver replied " by saying he would leave the matter of the kind of road to an attorney selected by Eueene people when the contract would be drawn. , "After much discussion Julius Goldsmith said, since Eueene.. wants a road to tidewater we onght to hold Carver's proposi tion in abeyance until he can offer us a plan that would have -us the kind of a road we want This carried."
