Gorvallis Times. Official Paper of Benton Conntr. COBTAIXI8, OBEOON, AEG 31, 1904. MOUNTAIN WATER. Mountain water for Corvallis IS not an idle dream. Engineer Gates who has built and now owns more water works plants than any other man in the Northwest, declares that the out-ide cost of a system would be $50,000, and that it would be a good investment. The state ment is tot that of a boomer or a visionary, but of a practical, sub stantial, well-in'ormed expert in the water works business. It was not made in private, or to a single in dividual, but publicly, before the Corvallis common council, and the reputation of Mr. Gates is staked upon it. There is no question fhia nne ttoint. tOwit. that iU L' ' X ' mountain water is within reach of Corvallis, and would be a good in vestment. Any reasonable thing a commun ity determines to hive, it can get. As shown above, mountain water for Corvallis is not an unreasonable proposition. It is a settled, fact that it is not only possible, but that it is practical and would be profitable. The only question is, how to get it. Severjl ways are open. ist. There is euough idle money of de posi ors lying in the Corvallis banks to build two or three such systems. It is largely the money of smaller holders, who can not lend it, ana do not use it. It is a hoard and draws no interest.- If the owners nf it rmild be made to see that a mountain water system would, as Mr. Gates declares, be a good in vestment, and give them a safe n1arv anri a reasonable, even a small return for their money, they would build the system. 2nd. There are solid, substan tial men in Corvallis who have money employed and unemployed. Some of their employed money is in enterprises more hazardous," re quiring more thought, more per sonal attention by lar than were it invested in the proposed water works. When they learn that a gravity water system is a favorite investment with bankers, a favor ite investment with men who seek satety and quietudi rather than hazird and bustle; when they are convinced in short, that the pro posed system will earn them money while they sleep, and grow old, they will supply the town with jqountiou water. 3rd. The present water company has part of a mountain water sys tem already built. It has reputa tion, experience, and an established business, that ought to enable it to enlist sufficient outside capital to change the source of supply from the Willamette to the mountains. When it learns that the people pro pose to have mountain water, and no other, the pre ent company will put in the system. 4th. If nobody elss will build it, the people of Corvallis cau build it themselves They can get su- - thority from the legislature to sel bonds, and with the proceeds of the sale of such bonds, build a system and supply their own mount-iin water, a plan that many citizens Irmly believe would be by far the best; thing, and an occasion ' that sug gested no delays. In all such cases it is better, as Corvallis knoves full well, for an arresting officer to be too quick than too late. It is not the purpose, and it ought not to be expected that the officer shou'd wait until he is shot, and then fire. A few instances of hufried action by officers would soon stop resist ance to arrest and braggart talk about a gun. The Newport mar shal may have been a trifle hasty in fiiinc. but since his victim will recover, and since future offenders will not talk about a eun when he undertakes an arrest, lynch talk is silly. To lynch an officer, or to talk seriously of it, under, such cir cumstances would give toughs carte blanche to shoot, cut and slash men at will and resist officers ad libitum. A LOCAL SCANDAL.

Shooting Affair at Newport City Marshal Wielded the Weapon. Several Corvallisites who went over on the C. & E. excursion to Newport Sunday were witnesses ot. a shooting affair, in which the city marshal of NewDort shot, and ser iously wounded Al Reid, an extra brakeman on the V. & tram. R"id is an Albnay man, and made the trip with his train to- Newport that morning, witn mm was a companion named William Doty. The two were in the Reception saloon, when two women entred. Reid and a gambler named Lhis sell accompanied tbe women to a private room, the door of which was subsequently locfcea Dy a Dar tender. After beine in the room a few minutes, Reid . and Chissell became involved in an altercation, and Reid made several slashes at the other man with a knife. Chis sell ran from th room, pursued by Reid.' Ashe passed in his flight for the street, Chissell was knock ed down by Reid's partner, Doty. Reid began at once to kick and slash the prostrate Chissell, cutting him severely near the wrist and above the knee, and kickine him cpvpral tim-s ahont the head. Mar shal Beach then appeared on the t . . nll scene ana proposed to arrest n.eia, but the latter stood him off with the remark that he had a gun and did n t propose to be arrested. Then the marshal, who is a man of 6. went after his re volver, while Reid and Doty start ed for the boat landing. Across the street from the landing the pair were overtaken by Beach, and the latter in the process ot making the arrest fired, the ball from his 38- calibre Smith & Wesson entering the left side of the neck near the jugular and lodging in the upper portion of the right jaw. ine shooting took place while nunareas of people were gathered in the vi cinitv to witness the departure of the evening boat. Reid was car ried to a hotel and bis wound, which is not considered necessarily fatal, was dressed. Chissell is ser iously injured, but 13 expected to recover. He is an Albany man who has bsen conducting gambling pames in tne Reception saioon aur ing the outing season. Bug juice, as is usuallly the case, is said to have phyed a large part in the or iginal trouble. The affair was the talk of the passengers on the trip out bunday evening. For Sale.

The naueating details of an af fair involving the name ot a young girl and. disclo ing the vicious practices of a number 01 young libc tines, have been liberally ais cussed on the street for the past few days. The case reached Dep uty Attorney Bryson's office, where many witnesses were examined and certain ugly facts - elicited. The girl was Mary iwta iewis, woo re cently fled from home arrayed in her hmrher's attire. Accordine to her own statement, there had been relations with a half a dozen young ... . r scane eraces about town. x wo 01 the boys have fled, and others are in hidine. On account ot tne ex treme vonth of most of those in volved and for other reasons th case will not at the present be tak en into the courts Statements that certain married men are in volved in the affair are apparently not borne out by evidence elicited in the examination betore the dep uty district attorney. Enough disclosures appear from the oroceedines however, to indi cate that among a brood of young sters coming on tnere are conai tions that call tor drastic measures, first by parents, and thereafter,- by the authorities, if the first plan fails to effect a cure. A pest house to prevent a spread of the contag ion seems to be as ; necessary as similar institution for smallpox patients and victims of other in fectious diseases. If parents can not, or will not eradicate the rot teness, they must . be prepared : for the Dublic toido it. and to do it in a way that is unpleasant because of thenublicitv and painful details that such a course involves. The town for its own . protection, for its businessjinterests and future growth must maintain a proper moral standard, and 14, 16 and 17 year old boys and girls must be made to behave themselves. Miss I,1 wis was sent to the Boys and Girls Home at Portland yesterday. r The public schools open a week from next Monday.

Tt is not the purpose to use them at once, but to have them ready for any overflow attendance. At the same rate of increase as last year, at leas- one, ad perhaps both ot them will have to - be utilized and a corresponding number of teachers be added to the lacuity. C. E.

A dispatch says they talked - of "lynching Marshal Beach at New port after he had shot Reid Sunday evening; The query is, what for? Tlio man chot was a TOwdv. He had disturbed the peace on a 'Sun day afternoon. He was full of whiskey and according to accgupts had been hunting a fight. He had a knife, and the bleeding form of his late victim showed that he was ready and willing to use it. He was all that Western parlance would designate as tough. He said, in addition that he had a gnn and it is not wonderful that the marshal took him at his word and did not wait for the shot, or the slash from Reid's knife to be de livred.
