at train time the platforms as well

speed for each other. "I'll be back
next year," was a frequent remark
and it always brought out words of

side carried away over too Thurs
day and the 0. & E. an equal or

The ball was 22-caliber.
The DeBois family continue in
their anxiety to get out of the Ben
ton county jail. They were found
the other day with a saw that they
had improvised out of a common
table knife, with which it is sup
posed they hoped in some way to
saw' their way through the steel
bars of their cells. They are res
tive under the confinement, and
propose to fail in attendance at the
July term of the circuit court in
Lincoln county, if possible.
At this week's session, the
county court offered a reward of
$50 for the arrest and conviction of
persons who have been tampering
with the gravel ferry. How the
rope that swings the boat to the
big cable was cut, was related in
Wednesday's Times. The damage
to the rope was such that a new one
had to be provided. After the new
one had been used but a single day,
somebody stole it the following
night. There was 120 feet of the
rope and its cost was several dol
lars. Of course another new one
had to be provided in order to keep
the ferry running. The reward of

earn $so. and incidentally to dis
Independent Rural Telephones Begin
Operation Wiring Philomath Now.
. The work of stringing the new
telephone wires-, between Corvallis
and Philomath began - yesterday.
It is expected that the two s towns
will be in communication by the
Independent system this, Saturday
evening. It is also hoped to have
the rural line north of town in fine
al -working order by the same hour. '
An operator will be placed in charge
of the central office to be established
on the second floor of the Zierolf
brick some time next week. Tem
porarily the work of the operator
will be in caring for the two rural
lines. For the office, three Tooms
have been secured. The switch
board was shipped from Kansas
City on -the 1st of June, and is ex
pected in Corvallis by - any - tram,
the usual time for transit being 10
days. On the road south of town
boles for" poles have been dug for a
distance of about . four miles. - A
force of about twenty men is em
ployed in the construction of the
new system.- under direction of Mr.
Lowe, chief constructor for the
Kansas City people. The work of
stringing the wires in Corvallis be
gins next Monday morning, and
will be prosecuted with the utmost
dispatci. V : '
In every respect the ne v system
is to be the best that money can
provide. Mr. De Varney, who was
in town yesterday, says there is no
better system west of Denver. It is
the purpose to make the , Corvallis
system a model one, ' in order to
give' the constructors prestige in
other towns in Oregon in which it
is the purpose to operate. The
poles that are being put up in Cor
vallis are evidences of the perman
ent character of the plans, and all
other arrangements in the system
are to be in keeping. Unless un
expected delays occur, the new
system will be in full operation in
Corvallis by July 15th.

In Corvallis What They Are. I
An ordinance embodyingweep- J

fires in Corvallis, was enacted at
Monday night's meeting of the citv
council v It is copied from a Port
land ordinance, and its adontion
was recommended by a committee if
I I J - MluiAUU -
ix is very strict in its provisions and
provides a heavy penalty for vio
lations. , Every house-owner1 - will
be interested in the measure, as
there are doubtless many instances
in which changes will be necessary
in order to bring flues, pipes and
other arrangements in conformity
to the new law. :' Some of the Tegu
lations, told in brief are as follows:
No repairs put on . any wooden
building within the fire limits shall
be made which will ? increase the
value of such building more than
25 per cent.' When any wooden
building in the fire limits shall be
damaged one-half, or more, it shall
j be at once removed within ten days.
au DUUQings within tne are limits
two stones or more, now construct
ed or to be constructed, shall . be
provided with scuttles leading to
the attic, such scuttle being at least
two by three feet, and provided
with ladders or . stairways leading
thereto, said scuttles to be approv
ed by the fire wardens. The chief
of police, fire chief and committee
oh fire and water shall have the
privilege at any time' of. entering
any building in the city limits to
ascertain if there are violations . of
this ordinance. The fire chief and
chief of -police are the fire wardens:
All flues hereafter to be built must be
of brick with walls four inches thick,
with bottom six inches thick, to be
plastered on the outside. No tim
ber or joist shall enter into the said
flue. All - flues shall extend at
least four feet above the Toof, and
shall extend two and ' one-half feet
below the ceiling of the first story
of the building. , , ,?
No smoke pips shall enter any
flue unless it be at least 14 inches
from floor or ceiling, and where
such smoke pipes pass through par
titions of any kind, whether plas
tered or not, they shall be guarded
by a double collar of metal, with at
least three inches of air space ; and
holes for ventilation; or by a soaps
stone ring not less than three inches
in thickness; or by a solid coating
of plaster of paris, three inches
thick; or by an earthenware ring
three inches from the pipe: No
smoke'pipe shall pass through any
window, side or roof of any building
except on a permit granted by the
fare wardens, in writing. The open-.
ing through such roof or side of the
building, shall be at least four
inches in diameter larger and be
protected as in the case of partitions,
No smoke pipe shall be placed
nearer than 1 1 inches to any wall.
Moss must be removed from the
roof of buildings whenever the fire
wardens require it." Loose hay,
straw, dry grass, leaves, paper or
other inflammable rubbish shall not
be allowed to accumulate about any
premises. No stove, except a cook
stove, shall stand within two feet of
any wooden or cloth wall, unless
such wall is fully protected by a tin
or zinc plate fastened thereon, and
there shall be placed under all
stoves zinc or other incombustible
material sufficient to protect the
place from fire. No ashes shall be
plaecd in any wooden vessel or on
any wooden floor in this city . or de
posit' them . in any . place on their
own or the premises of others that
will be nearer than 10 feet from any
wooden building or fence. Any
person violating any of the terms of
the new ordinance, shall, upon con
viction, be fined . not less than . $5
nor mote than $50, or by imprison
ment not less than two or more than
25 days. -';' '

All persons using -water for flowers,

by turning off the water promptly at nine

night we do not keep the pumps running
all night, nor are we expected to. We
quit pumping between ten and eleven at
night, leaving the tanks full, When a
number of hose are allowed to run all
night there is little water left in the tank
by morning. Should there be a fire,
which is liable to occnr any night, there
would be hut little water for the occasion
and if there was there would be no force
