MOUNTAIN WATER.
The Willamette river is the sew
er of the Willamette valley. Growth
of population and the natural tend
ency of people more and more to
" get rid of filth and sewage will
cause it to be used more and more
as a general drain. More and more
it will be made to carry away,the
excrement, filth and vile sewage of
growing and multiplying towns
More and more sewage systems
, will be built in these towns, and
more and more will these" empty
their dirty cargoes into the stream
More and more will people die and
be buried, and more and more will
the drainage and seepage from bur
ial places find its way into the wat
er that oeoole bv hundreds and
thousands are daily drinking.
Ultimately, certainly, absolutely.
pollution of the Willamette will so
increase, that it is but a question
of time when people will be driven
to some other source of water sup-
ply. Even this very moment may
be the time, tha the change ought
to be made, for aught anybody
knows. Especially is this true dur-
ine the dry season, when the vol
ume of water flow is at the mini
mum and the opportunity for pol
lution simple and easy. Is this not
a reason - for Corvallisites to
think occasionally of ways and
: means for getting a water supply
from the pure, uncontaminated
streams of the mountains. Would
not Corvallis capital, rather than
to lie unused and dead in local
banks better be invested in a moun
tain water system which Engineer
Gates declares would only cost $50,
000, which he says would be a good
investment? Or, if this hoard pre-
fers.to lie unused ,Jwill not the peo
pie, or the city council, or some
, -.body endeavor to enlist capital from
otherwhere to bring water to Cor
vallis from the mountains?
Corvallis can'get mountain water
if she wants it. For so many peo
pie and so good a town, a $50,000
. investment, that in mountain water
- would mean so much, is but a trifle.
United, constant, . and intelligently
directed insistence upon a best
water supply, will bring it. Why
not try?
SKINNED THEM.
And Then Made Them Feel Good Utah
Lads in Oregon Society.
A reception was given in the
Armory Wednesday evening to the
visiting Utah team. The occasion
formed a pretty incident after the
defeat administered during the
aflernoon by the Oregon lads,
Apparently all the students at the
college and more, with visitors from
adjoining towns and numerous
townspeople were on the main floor
and in the galleries. A loud burst
of applause greeted a group of
Utah men as they entered, and
were ushered to seats immediately
in front of the platform. A similar
outburst heralded the entrance of
a secona group 01 me visitors, ana 1
the rpnnnv mat nlflsant smilp nn i
the faces of the defeated players
--rr- "-- r- --
Karl Steiwer presided in the
literary and musical programme
that followed, and in his remarks
assured the Utah lads that in spite
of the events of the afternoon they
were not in an enemy's country.
A vocal solo by Miss Edna Allen
was heartily encored, but there
was no response. Dr. Withycombe
made a felicitous speech, setting
forth the value of athletics as an
adjunct of education in the general
equipment of young men for high
est and most useful citizenship.
Coach Campbell of the Utah team
praised the college, its student body
and the football squad for the spirit
of hospitality, that had been extend
ed to his men, and the Captain of
the visiting team spoke in a similar
vein. "
The whole function was preg
nant with a spirit of warm hearted
ness and good cheer, in which the
entertainers were on exhibition in
a rolesplendidly creditable to them.

THE FATAL WEDDING.-
At Corvallis Opera Honse--FridaT Night
November Fourth,
t
In "The Fatal Wedding", which
comes to the Opera House Friday,
November 4th the theatre goers of
this city will get somethiag out of
the ordinary run of comedy dramas.
The piece which has just finished
a successful run in New YorkCity,
proved its drawing powers by play
ing to crowded houses during its
engagement . in the metropolis.
The plot of "The fatal Wedding"
is entirely different from anything
heretofore ' seen, and serves to in
troduce" a well told story, full of
heart interest and pathos, and one
that appeals strongly to the femi
nine portion of the theatre going
public. Yet there is sufficient
comedy introduced into the play
to keep the audience in a happy
frame of mind throughout the per-
tormance. The scenic eHects are
truly wonderful and marvelous, de
picting reproductions of some of
the most famous scenes in and
around Gotham. Notablv among
these are shown a counterfeiter's
den, located on thejbanks of the
Hudson River, - Another scene
shows the - famous Palisades at
night. In connection with this a
great storm effect is produced.
making one of the most realistic
scenes ever attempted. The famous
Grace Church, New York City, is
reproduced, as ell as several other
well known New York landmarks.
MUCH SOWN.
An Immense Acreage of Fall Grain has
been Seeded Using Discs. ,
Benton farmers will watch the
whether conditions this winter as
never before. A freeze out, such
as has been knowd to happen in
Webfoot, if severe enough. would
have serious consequences". The
information is that not in many
years has there been so large an
acreage of fall sown grain as there
is at the present. The favorable
weather has kept farmers afield late
and early now for far more than
the usual period in autumn time.
Disc plows and disc harrows have
been utilized more extensively than
ever before in farming operations,
and the consequence is said to be
that fully .. - three-fourths of the
available acreage is seeded, or will
De . wiinm xoe- next, iew aays,
Many a farmer has all his fields
sown, and next spring will have
little or nothing in the wav of
seeding to do. With so much
ground seeded, there is reason for
all to hope that there may be no
freeze-out, with its alternating
hours ot treezlng ana tnawing, so
damaging to . fall sown grain.
ERRORS THEY MAKE.
In Marking Ballots at Voting Time
Sometimes get Badly Mixed.
Two hundred Benton county
electors tailed to vote on the local
option law at the June election. It
is suspected that in some instances
they did not know how to mark
their tickets. The number of per
sons who find trouble in marking
tickets intelligently is a surprise to
every judge and clerk at every el
ection time. Errors galore occur
in every precinct. Over in Alsea
last June six tickets went into the
ballot box with only one column of
the ticket voted. The case non
plussed the judges, because it was
in each instance evidently an in
advertence. It is suspected that on the ques
tion of whether or not liquor selling
shall be prohibited in Benton, more
than one voter will be at a loss as
lO wnere ana HOW - to mart his
ticket, although as the matter ap
pears on the ballot, it is easy and
simple. . Such things, however,
have 'to , be extraordinarily easy
and extraordinarily simple in some
cases to avoid error. . The direction
on the ballot says, "Vote for or
against prohibition of the sale of
intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes for the entire county of
Benton. Mark x between number
and answer voted for." Below the
above direction on the ticket ap
pear the number "32." After the
"32" there is a space; and then ap
pears the words, "For Prohibition"
If in the space between the "32"
and "For Prohibition" the voter
places an "x" his vote will be for
prohibition of the liquor traffic in
Benton.
In the next line on the ballot be
low the '32 ' is where the voter
must operate who wants the liquor
tramc continued. ihere appears
the number ''33." After it there
is a space, and then come the
words, "Against Prohibition." If
he puts an "x" in the space be
tween the "33' and "Against pro
hibition," his vote will be for the
continuation of the liquor .traffic,

FIVE HUNDRED DAMAGES.
Against the C. & E. in an Albany Court
The Cleland Case, w .
A verdict of $500 damages
against the C. & E. was awarded
Mrs. Sarah Cleland in the Albany
circuit court Wednesday. Mrs.
Cleland, in July, 1903, was thrown
to the floor of a- passenger coach
by a sudden movement of the train,
and on account of injuries alleged
to have been sustained, sued for
$10,000 damages.
The evidence in the case says
the Albany Herald, was that the
plaintiff, a feeble old lady- had
boarded the train at the C. & E .
depot after arriving from Portland
on the Southern Pacific. She was
helped across the intervening space
by a lady who was attending her,
and placed in a seat of the coach.
Her attendant then left and the old
lady arose and stood in the aisle
when the engine with a string ' of
cars backed up toVcouple orrMo the
coach and baggage car. She had
been warned by some one in - the
coach to be seated to avoid injury.
When the train was coupled the
passenger coach started back, be
ing moved from 2 to 4 feet. The
lady being feeble fell and sustained
what was to be a . serious injury.
She was cared for by the railroad
company and provided with every
comfort. The case will be appeal
ed. . ' '
