1 An article in the Sunday . Jour
nal tells of how Portland is using
all of its water supoly and that
either a reduction of the per capita
consumption must bs effected or a
new four foot pipe line to Bull Run
river must be constructed. The
distance is 35 miles and the esti
mated cost is $1,700,000. The per
cvpita consumption in Portland
now is 200 gallons. In London it
is 40 gallons. It is complained
that much water is wasted and that
the installation in every house of
water meters at a cost of $300, 000
would relieve the situation.
Elmer Clark, cashier oi the
First National bank at Vale, and
who was recently a Corvallis visi-
tor, had evolved a novel plan for
assisting young men through O. A.
C. His bank lends to a deserv
ing young man who can give good
recommendations, a sufficient. sum
as required to put him through col
ege, at the end of which time the
money is to be paid back. An as
sociation of 25 old O. A. C. stu
dents at Vale has a hand in the
plan and figures in the . selection of
the person to whom the fund goes.
After the graduation oi one, the
fund goes to another and so on,
parpetinlly. Charles Harris of
Vale has received appointment un
der the arrangement, and will be in
co!l?ge the coming year.

A movement was afoot Mon
day to start another club in Corval
lis. A Seattle man was in town,

was to be a theatre, and then ad
mitted that six girls were to be a
feature, with dancing and drinks,
the liquors being served on the
same principle as that in vogue at
the Corvallis Social aud Athletic
club. The plan, of ccurse, involv
ed about as notorious a place as
! could be conducted. The party
making the application was a young
man. Some people think the ap
plication is a psrt of a concerted
plan to make Corvallis for the pres
ent as rough a place as possible,
and for ulterior purposes. Of
course Mr. Woodcock did not let
his building for any such purpose,
ana tnougn it is not certain, it is
believed that no ether building was

West Side Enterprise: The
Salem-Independence auto is "done
for." Its choo-choo is silent. It
is taken off the run. Clouds of
dust, Irightened horses, broken rigs
need no longer be nightmares for
team drivers. Bad roads are as
signed as the cause of taking off
the auto. Bad management fits
the case more nearly. A cumber
some machine, weighing some 2600
pounds, with a 16-horse power en
gine was put on in the first place.
An imported chaffeur, without re
gard for farmer's teams was put in
charge, and drove ' travel by team
off the road. With a machine that
would carry 10 persons comfortably
17 or 18 persons were piled .on.
No effort was made to cultivate the
Polk county end of the line farther
than to collect the fares. Passeng
ers were tantalized by turning the
machine loose on steep grades, and
letting it go ;at break-neck speed for
the amusement of the chaffeur.
The wonder is, under such reckless
management, the choo-choo was
kept on the public highway as long
as it was.
t'ip because of the serious illness of
their littie son, Freddie, who is suf
fering.with typhoid fever.
