Eugene Guard: Since its de feat by Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis, May 27; the track i-quad of the University of Oregon has been training extra bard tor tbe state field meet at Salem on June 10.

A dead horse Wa8 discovered m the mouth of Marv'a River the oth er evening. How it got there, no body know?. What disease it died with, whether with a malady from germs that might be fatal to man, is not known. The carcass was lodged against a Bballow spot in the mouth of the stream. Just how long it remained there is cot cer tain. A3 soon as it was reported to Chief Lane, a man was sent to remove it, but meantime, the car cass had, disappeared The river is low now, and. of course the wash from the carcass in all human prob ability swept into the water mains of Corvallis,' and made good drink ing for Corvallis families. Under the circumstances, how fanny it seems that there should be an in junction to6top a survey and delay the effort to get water : from the mountains. --- . - !

Water Committee Bound by Own" Act ion not to Oppose Change in . Water Bill. ' A resolution declaring the right J of the people to make the Water Commission elective, and declaring further that the water .. committee has no opposition to 6Ser to any movement by citizens for' securing a change in the law was passed by the Water Committee, at a meeting held Friday afternoon. The res olution was adopted with but one dissenting vote. Mr. Woodcock voted against it, and was given permission. to record his objection in the minutes of the meeting. His objection is that he does not pro pose now to take any action or en ter into any agreement that shall prevent him from pursuing any course that he may see fit in the 9. future with reference to the law. The resolution adopted is as ; fol lows: , Resolved that there is no question in the minds of members of this committee that the people have the right, at any time to secure from the legislature an amendment to the water bill so that members of the water committee, or commission, or both may become elective by the people, and that as a committee we have no opposition to offer .any movement bv citizens for securing such' a change: and be it further Resolved, that this resolution be spread upon the minutes of this committee and that a ' copy be fur nished the common council of Cor vallis under the direction of whose special committee said " water, bill was prepared and the members of this committee selected." a . There was discussion of the res-! olution. A majority of the memb ers favored a stronger resolution. The question came up as to wheth er it .was better for six members to pass a strong resolution, or all but one member adopt a somewhat milder one. It was concluded that the latter course would doubtless be more acceptable to the. people, and action was taken accordingly." The resolution was reported to the "city council Monday night and by un animous vote that body approved it and ordered it spread upon the minutesto stand as a record of the action of the water committee. : The resolution ought to- be the means of letting mountain water go to a vote of the people on its merits.; If the . members c of the, water committee themselves at their first meeting, officially suggest a change so as to make the commis sion of committee, or both elective by the people, putting the", resolu tion of record with the city council, there shonld. it would seem, be no further reason for fear that- the committee might hornswoggle all the water, - turn Corvallis : into a kingdom, skip w:th the water works, and cut off the heads of the leading citizens, send others into exue and condenm chains and slavery." the rest to Dr. I,owe wont be back fcr 6 months Sheriff's Sale.
