The dwelling immediately south of the Rosendorf homi. occupied by Mrs. Greer and family, burned to the ground at a late hour Tues day afternoon.- The blaze started from the kitchen stoAepipe and the fire was well under way when dis covered by members of the family. Occupants of the house and neigh bors hastened to remove the con tents from the burning building, I and nearly everything was saved except a few minor belongings of little value. ' Ah alarm was turned in and the department quickly res- j ponded, but because of lack of wat- j er in that part of town, no help of any moment could be rendered and. the building was soon in ashes. . ! Just across, the fence stands an empty house : belonging .. to Josh Howard, aqd the flames were soon sweeping down one end 01 that. ExceDt for the' prompt use of the new fire extinguisher recently pur chased by the Corvallis fire depart ment, this residence would also have been destroyed. As it is, probably $75 will cover the cost ot damages to it. A purse was taken up; for Mrs. Greer, and $23.80 presented her. This it was thought, would cover the actual loss sustained by her. The building burned belonged to Mrs. Purdy. ' MET THE ENEMY. And Nearly Back-tracked A Corval lis Man's Adventure. Talk of the awfulness of Japan ese attacks if you will but they are not a comparison to what con fronted a Corvallis man while up near Bellfountain, Wednesday. He was a-wheel, and as he neared an old swamp of considerable size, he noticed in the road ahead a band of what he thought were pigs. Drawing nearer, he discovered to his horror that they were skunks, and there were 13 of them. There was deep underbiush on either side of the road, 13 skunks in the mid dle of the road, and the shades of evening falling fast. The man did some lively thinking and then let a yell, but alas! Instead of taking to their heelsfthe 13" black kittens showed fight and came' on, stiff -legged and threatening. The man a-wheel yelled again, and yet again but on came the band. Finally, a happy thought struck him, and clapping his hands he yelled, "sick 'em" at the top of hisvoice. That settled it. The skunks turned tail, and fled to the brush, and without stopping to look back or get a full breath, the wheelman pulled into Corvallis about nine o'clock, thank ful to find that he was still in "good odor" in society.

He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That being, the case he can not be too careful about unnecessary ex penses. Very often a few cents properly in vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but afew cents, and a bottle ofit in the house often saves a doctor's bill of several dollars. For sale by Graham & Wortham. NEARLY THREE TO ONE, Corvallis Voted Heavily in Favor of Bond Issue for Mountain Water. - In Thursday's water . bond elec tion, the bond issue of $75,000 .for a municipal water plant wa carried by a vote of " nearly three to one. The figures are, for bonds, 278; against bonds,- 106. The total number of votes cast was 384, or about 30 votes less than in the reg ular city election in June. . The majority in favor of bonds is somewhat heavier than the friends of mountain water expect ed, though a vote "of two to one was freely predicted by them when the polls opened. A poll of the town made up the day before showed tnat mountain water bad a sure majority with as many doubtful as sure votes against bonds,, and a chance for many of the doubtful to be captured for mountain water. This not only happened, but great inroads were made in . trie rants of those counted on by the opposition as certain. It is said . that their poll showed 151 votes against mountain water. - . It is certain now that if there had been a week or ten more days allowed the voters in which to be come familiar with the subject that the opposition would haver been reduced to less perhaps than 50 votes. The testimony on all sides is that the anonymous sheet issued by the opposition was an actual detriment to the cause it professed to serve. The fact that the men behind it would not allow their names to be - connected with the sheet and that they required their printer to observe such secrecy,, was the first influence to discredit the thing. Greater even than this fatal error was the style of warfare that the thing resorted to. It in dulged solely in personalities and an attempt to play on the fears of the ignorant and timid, of whom apparently there are not many in this town, at least of the sort the ' lyUbricator thought there was. The double dose of error in connec tion with the thing led to deser tions that ran the vote for moun tain water up considerably higher than its most sanguine friends ex pected. A week more of time for voters to have gotten their bearings would undoubtedly have split the opposition in twain and have given bonds a majority of more than six to one. In the brief campaign preced ing the election, there was not time for all things connected with the enterprise to be fully explained For three months prior to that time the opponents, secret and other wise, of mountain water, had been conducting a personal : propaganda. Many things have been circulated that were not true. Many honest men, indeed, it is probable that most all connected with the. matter on both sides were honest, got im pressions that were not correct for the removal of which time . and trouble was required. -The election was a queit one.' There was a good crowd on the stree early in the morning, and an other to iiear the result in the even ing, out during the day there was but little activity. The polling place was the City Hall, and a there all day workers were congregated. The strikers for mountain water were the more numerous, and to their energy and toil is due much credit for the result. Several disputes occurred but in each instance those engaged in them were good temper ed and the outcome always good humored even though loud words were occasionally let slip. The anti-water people talked about a "perpethal" commission, about wood pipe and urged that the enterprise wouldn t pay. One an ti-water man said the richer mem bers of the water1 committee" might take a lot of bonds themselves and a water man in reply asked - if he thought they would-- pay for the bonds they took in wooden money. Then the first man said the -other one was talking nonsense. Then the other man said the same thing about the first speaker,, and so'; it went. One Job's additioner ' stood stoutly against bonds until he found from the survey that ,'; a fire plug was located at the corner ,of his block, and then with a broad smile on his face he went ' unanimous for bonds. 1 fiesn the The Kind You Have Always Bougtt Signature of Suitable Reward. v-Will be paid for the return of a silver watrch, lost on the .
