To Adoption Ordinance Making
tract for Street Lighting.
Con-
A contract for the city to b.uy
street lights from the Corvallis
Electric Light Company, for a per
iod of 20 years is pending in the
city council. It is in the form of
an ordinance, and has passed The
second reading, It will come up
for .final passage at ; the- regular
meeting to be held in. November.
Most of the provisions are regarded
with favor by many of the coun
cilmen, and there seems to be a
fair prospect that the ordinance!
with some slight modifications ac
ceptable to the Electric Light Com-.,
pany may be passed. ;
.The ordinance and contract was
considered af length at a special
meeting of the council Monday
night. It was taken up. paragraph
by paragraph, and discussed. Some
objection was offered to a ' 20 year
term and the suggestion was made
that it be reduced to 15 years. -A
vote to test the sense of the council
Was taken, and three councilmen
voted for the acceptance of the 20
year provision and five against it,
one not voting. Those who voted
for were Crees, Taylor and Hodes;
against, Avery; Rose, Porter, Canv
eron and Colbert; not voting,
Henkle, - -..
Mr. Porter of the Electric Light
Company, was present, and said the
prices offered are cheaper than in
any other town west of the Rocky
mountains. He had made these
prices he said on a basis of a 20
years contract, and he indicated
that his company would not recede
from that requirement without in
creasing the price of lights. .
Objection was made by one or
two councilmen to the requirement
that the city take Sgoo - worth of
light per year,, but otherwise about
all the provisions are( apparently
acceptable to the members. "" The
proposed contract, in full, is as
follows: ...
(To Run 20 Years .-
said paTty.of the first part shall or
der at once an amount of lighting
for the streets of the City that will
yield an annual revenue to the said
party of the second part the mini

, City may buy Works.
This agreement, made and enter
ed into this day , of October.
1903, by and between the City oi

A pretty incident happened at tbe
college Monday morning. - It was an
acknowledgement by students of the
friendly attitude displayed in the'clcs
ing of business houses for Saturday's

sented a set of resolutions that ' ac
knowledges .the kindness, and . that
calls upon all students, as. a just re
turn for the act, to bestow their pat
ronage as far as possible upon Corval
lis business honses. .. The resolutions
aroused much enthusiasm, and they
went through with a whoop and yell
that demonstrates the existence of a
most pleasant ' relation between the
students and local tradesmen.

v A runaway that presented unusu-
1 al conditions happened Monday after
noon. The team was a superb pair of
draught horses, drawing a woodrack.
The start, was from the vicinity of
Wioegar's stable, and the direction
was south on Tnird. Mary's Blvet
bridge was crossed with a speed and
force that made the irons of the struc
ture rattle. .The turn was made Into
Fischer's lane, and at the mills the
yard was entered where wheat deliv
ery takes place. The latter wa3 cir
cled and left behind and the flight re
sumed again in the lane with the di
rection reversed. - All this time the
wagon and its. woodrack " was intact,
and there was no damage. The state
road was reached, and there the course
was changed for a southerly direction.
Meantime, at every point efforts were
made to stop the flaeing horses. At
the millB all the employes, turned out
to, arrest the fugitives. At Hurt's
place and at Oren's men hurried out
to head off the big-flyers, only to be
brushed aside by . the huge ' outfit.
Near Off Wilson's place, after the hor
ses were badly winded, the flight was
finally stopped by passers-by. The
wagon stayed to the runaways to the
last, and practically nothing was dam
aged. The team is said to belong to
Bufus Skipton. a -
any of said lights are notv burning.
and that no deduction shall be made
in the payment for any light being

more man two blocks from any
light to put in a new , incandescent
light or lamp, no more than four
blocks for an arc light:
