.... Corvallis Times, Of ficiaf. Paper of Benton .Cojinty. CORVALLIS, OR, SEPT. 6, 19C5. TO SELL BONDS. BURNED TO ASHES. And Call for Bids for Material The N ew Mountain Water Survey. At a meeting Monday night, the water board took action for the floating of $75,000 in water bonds, ordered the issuance of an adver tisement for bids for material to be used in constructing the plant, heard the report of Engineer Mil ler with reference to the new sur vey, and discussed various phases of the situation. It is figured that 30 days will be required in getting bids for the bonds. It is desired that information as to the issue shall be placed before Eastern investors to the end that the best possible bonds may be secured. The inter est rate has been fixed at four per cent. Some favored a slightly higher rate, but some sales of sim ilar bonds as published in a late copy of a banking paper indicated the sale of many securities on a four per cent basis, and it seemed un wise to propose a higher rate under the circumstances. The date on which the bids will be opened has not been set. The report of Engineer Miller on the new survey shows a working margin of about $5,000 between es timated cost of the works and the limit of money provided for in the the bond issue, It will not be as large a margin as is desirable, con sidering the possibility of litigation, but the board has determined to take the chances, at least to the extent of selling bonds and call ing for bids for material. The new survey taps Rock Creek 600 feet above the point where the Peak trail crosses the strerm. It passes close to the Gellatly school house, goes through the Gellatly place, the Dentler place, follows the coun ty road for nearly a mile, passes through Main street ' Philomath as far as the railroad depot and then follows the line of the C. & E. .-traight into Corvallis, save the diversion for the reservoir on Os burn hill. A large part of the pipe line will be 12 inch, and there is in all only 800 feet of steel pipe lequired via the new route, the former estimate requiring 13,000 feet. The present volume of wat tr at the intake is 1,800,000 gallons . enough for Corvallis when a city many times her present size. It is estimated that not more than two weeks will be required to get bids on ma'erial. PHILOMATH ITEMS. Corvallis Dwelling House Billy In vestigator Recalled. The Emil Liebe dwelling house, better known to the public as the Berlin house on College Hill was burned to the ground in the early hours of Saturday morning. The blaze was discovered shortly before three o'clock by Prof. Crawford who lives a block to the East ward. ' He happened to be astir at the time, and the light attracted his attention. The Denman house stood between him and the burning building, but from the latter a huge column of flame shown far above the Denman root. . le turned in the alarm with his Independent phone and within scarcely a minute from the time he saw the blaze the fire bell was ringing. There is, however, no fire protection in the neighborhood, and the firemen could do nothing tc arrest the flames. The two chemicals were run out to the scene for use in saving other buildings if neces sary, but there was no wind, and acccrdingly but little danger of oth er fires. A large crowd of people congregated on the grounds and watched the structure through the process of being reduced to ashes, Most of those who remarked on the subject agreed that it would be a fortunate day for a large portion of Corvallis from the standpoint of fire protection alone when the new wat er system shall have been installed. It looked hard to stand by and see a building burn, with not a drop of water to turn on it, or on other property in the neighborhood that might have been lighted by the flying sparks. The occasion called to the minds of many the curious mission of the late little Billie In vestigator. As stated, the fire must have been started about 2 .-30 o'clock in the morning, an unseemly hour, The house was not occupied, which fact obviously reduces the danger of fire to the minimum. It all looks dangerously like incendiary, and yet, perish the thought, and let us all live in the belief that there is no one witnin our gates who would wantomly apply a midnight torch to the property of a fellow being. No one is able to say .. whether or not the property was insured. The building is estimated to have been worth $1000. HIS FUNERAL.

Neighbors Came From Far and Wide to Bury Clyde Tharp The Accident. The funeral of the late Clyde Tharp, who was killed in a runa way accident Friday, occurred at Bellefountain Saturday afternoon. The service was under the auspices of the Grange, of which the deceas ed was a member. The attendance included everybody tin the neigh borhood as well a9 relatives and friends of the family from Corvallis and elsewhere, and was verv large. Addresses in harmony with the oc casion were made by Rev. M. M. Waltz, Ed Belknap and Mrs. Ed Belknap. Mrs. Belknap was a for mer teacher of the dead young man, and her tribute to his life and mem ory was tervent and eloquent. The members of the family were pros trated by the tregady. The moth r fainted at the grave, and was not restored to consciousness until nine o'clock in the evening, six hours afterward. 'Later accounts of the accident differ but little from that given in Saturday's Times. With others, Clyde Tharp was hauling gravel on the roads, and with his wagon heavily loadd was passing down the hill at the Pern Starr place. Marks on it seem to indicate that the brake block slipped to the side of the wheel instead of pressing it from the front. The wagon rushed on to the horses, and the driver was unable to hold them. After passing over a bench in the hill the outfit went out of the view of those who watched from above. A few moments later the horses, detached from the wagon and run ning at full speed, appeared below. At the bottom of the hill the wreck of the wagon, and the young man, frightfully injured, were found. The victim was still breathing, but lite lasted only a few minutes.- He was lying on his back, and across his breast was one of the boards of his gravel bed, and on the board and the prostrate form of the man a heavy weight of gravel. Blood was gushing, the flow of which was only staunched by death. The young man bore a high rep utation in the community'. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Al Tharp, and was 25 years of age.

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 tew 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 a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctor s bill of several dollars.
