At the home of the bride's moth f, Mrs. Mary Privett, Baker City, at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, the marriage of Elmer A Clark, formerly of Corvallis and Miss Lei la Privett, of Baker City, was sol emnized, 11 ev George T Ellis,- of Uaker City, officiating. : Edwin M -Clark, of Corvallis, brother of the groom, officiated as best man, and Miss Lola I Dorsett, of Baker City, as bridesmaid.

BURNED HIS HOME Tire Destroyed the 1 Dwelling of David . Howard Tuesday. The dwelling owned and occu pied by David Howard and family, near the railroad.: crossing north of town, was destroyed by fire late Tuesday evening. Mr Howard is a laborer, and is engaged most of his time in stowing away, sawing and splitting v wood ; for Corvallis homes an'd business nouses. The destruction of the building " leaves him and his ; family temporarily without an abiding place. , The building was insured for $200 and the contents at $75 in the McMinn- 1 ville company. As soon as he re ceives his insurance money, Mr Howard will rebuild. Of the fur niture, about two-thirds was saved. The fire originated in the roof. An alarm was turned in, but ! the burning house was far beyond the " water limits, and the . department was powerless to save it. All that could be done was to let the - building burn and save from it as much of the contents as possible. This course was followed with the result above stated. Real Estate, Loan and Insurance.

Dusty, And Ran Against Another "Water Or dinance Committeemen at Work. The special water committee of the Corvallis council was at labor Wednesday night. The Smyth or dinance, : embodying:' the offer of Portlanders to bring mountain wat er into Corvallis at Portland rates, was under consideration. All members of the committee were present, and the bill was read section bv section "rand several amendments agreed tor . Joseph Wilson, attorney for the local water company was present, and when the committee had arranged the Smyth ordinance -; to - its r liking': he brought forward another ordinance, the second offered by the local com pany.' a The latter proposes a com bination plant, - using river .water for fire protection, and mountain or well water for domestic use. The provisions of the ordinance are printed elsewhere. " - v At the meeting, a letter was read from Engineer Smyth, saying that if the committee desired to make changes in his ordinance, that he wished to meet with the members and discuss the proposed changes After agreeing to the amendments, the committee ordered a draft sent to Mr Smyth, with the notification that the committee would meet him. It is understood that he is likely to be in Corvallis for the pur pose next Monday night. - Among the changes; made m . the Smyth ordinance ; was one with respect to the expense of fire hy drants. " The members thought $5 per month, per hydrant, too much. Heckert proposed $3. Skelton sug gested a flat rate; of $1,000 a year for fire protection, street sprinkling sewer flushing and other city uses., Allen thought $50 a month enough for all the service. - Henkle wanted 00 flat as the cost for the whole business,, and that figure was fin ally incorporated in the ordinance. Another change was with y ref erence to-fire protection. Theub committee - reported a complete system of fire hydrants,- covering every part of town, and requiring pressure enough in each to throw water to a height of seventy feet through 50 feet of hose, using an inch and a half nozzle. The numb er of hydrants, under the", arrange ment is 27. ' This system was add ed as an amendment to the, -ordinance. " -"'-'. - -: The committee also designated more definitely as to the source of the water supply. The ' original ordinance provided that the source would be other than the Willamette river. As now amended the source must be other than the Willamette river, Mary s river or Uak Creek, and that the system shall be under the gravity plan. As it now stands the water will have to come 'from Wood's Creek. Roek Creek or some other Mary's Peak stream. ' Still another change .is the re quirement of a bond in . the - penal sum of $5000. for faithful , perform ance of contract with respect to in stalling the system. The original Smyth, ordinance provided that work should begin within 18 months from the signing of the contract, and that water should be supplied to consumers within six months tnereaiter. , rnere was no -provis ion in the way of bond in case of failure to begin work.rf Council man Allen- thought there ought to be a bond and that work ought to begin within six -months. Some body else said 12 months. ; Heckert said that would make work begin next.fa.ll, and push the pipe laying into winter season, which would be unjust;? Henkle said the company needed 18 months, because ' injunc tion suite might be brought and be carried through the supreme court, and that at least 18 months would be required in which the- company could fight possible suits and secure ! rights of way and water rights in j mountain " streams to be tapped. j The t8 months arrangement was finally allowed to stand unchanged, out a bond 01 55,000 was . incorpor ated in the bilL borne discussion ' arose as to whether or not the right of Smyth to lay pipes should be made exclus ive. -Yates said the local company had vested rights to sell water, and that it might be improper to use the term exclusive. Skelton made the point that an exclusive right to lay pipes : hereafter might be . given Smyth, and that view found lodg ment with the rest of the committee It was made part of the ordinance. V In asking permission to present his second ordinance, Lawyer Wil son said that his company., now realized that neither the- people nor the council desired Willamette wat er, and that in offering a second or dinance provision had been ' made to provide them with what they want. - . FINED FOR IT Pheasant Shooting One Bird Cost Him Seventeen Dollars Hunters in -. ' ' Panic. " - Last Wednesday morning, it cost a certain Corvallis boy $17 to kill a China pheasant. , His name at . the request of friends is withheld. It is desired that his father may not hear of the facts. The lad is 17 or 18 years of age. r v It was in the . vicinity of the rail road crossing north of town that he shot the bird. ' It seems that he occasionally shot - birds there and elsewhere in the late past. To his very great surprise, a stranger ap proached him in a very business like way, immediately after the shooting;. The stranger was a de puty game warden, and he immed iately took the law breaker ' into custody. C He had seen the shot, had seen the bird fall, and the cul prit "was at his mercy. ?rv'-"-' - An hour or two afterward the bird, a halt srrown China, was ex hibited before the authorities as ev idence of guilt, and with" nothing else to do, the youth pleaded guilty to the complaint in Justice Hol- gate's court. He was fined $15 and costs. The amount of the costs was $2, making the total that his bird cost, Si 7. - The deputy game warden who made the arrest : is a mysterious man. He is a stranger m town. Few know his identity and fewer can give his name". He was brought here by ; Game . Warden Quimby Tuesday. . He is to keep as - much of Benton county as he can under surveillance from now until the be ginning of the open season." He is very active in performance of his duty and is as ubiquitous as he is active. He" is in one end of the county this morning and"-in the other tonight. He has created such a panic among guilty hunters in and about town as has not been seen , before. On the face of each there is a look of assumed and sanctified innocence thatplainly says, "Why I would' nt kill a bird for anything." The look of heavenly , virtue on each is saintly enough to stampede a cirr cus. It is even said that some of them say prayers now when they go to bed.nights.- One young . man and a very guilty, hunter ' is said to have given his shot gun to his best igirl to keep until "the trouble blows over. Shotguns are buried under rubbish in family cellars, and every feather in backyards: -has been gath ered up and burned. As a result there is no China - " hunting, and there is not likely to be until Oct ober ist.-- - Game; Warden Quimby appoints a deputy in one county - and sends him to another where he is not known," to do - business.- That he says makes the man' s identity un known and makes him -- fearless in the discharge of duty, for with such an officer," who is a - stranger in the vicinity anyway, prosecution is not prevented by fear that an enemy is to be made. ' . " It is said that many a young China has died an unnatnral death recently, and that the shooting has been practiced by all kinds of hunt ers and almost "everywhere. ; AT THE COLLEGE Many New Faces But Few' .
