A Eugene man was m town the other day, looking for a location and a dwelling house. He lost a son in the late typhoid fever epi demic at Eugene, and volunteered the information to the owner of a Corvallis house which he inspected, that he wanted to get to a place where there is a proper water supply. Thomas T.pps? ramp rlit Snnrlav nighfffom Viewport, where he has recently established a new banking house, making a chain of three banks of which he is the head, one at Corvallis, one at Toledo and the new one at Newport., Mr. Leese has been kept at Newport for sev eral weeks during the process of getting the new establishment' in running order, and his presence will continue to be required there more or less during the present busy season. The business of the establishment is opening up in much greater volume than was or iginally expected by its promoters. Mr. Ogg, an Iowa lawyer who j was out here three years ago, is shortly to start from his Iowa home for Corvallis on a hunting expedi tion. He will be accompanied by his wife and two sons. On a for mer visit he spent a month with O. J. Blackledge at Yachats, and the pleasure derived on that occasion brings Mr. Ogg west for a repetition of it. Mr. Blackledge has engaged rigs for the trip from Corvallis, and if details are carried out according to schedule the expedition will start from here for Yachats about August 1st, which will be within a short time after Mr. Ogg's arrival from Iowa. - The aisles and platforms of the coaches on Sunday's excursion to Newport were crowded with pas sengers, unable to find seats. Something like 400 people made the trip, and there were but four coaches for their use. One hun dred and thirty people went from Corvallis. many of them going on season tickets. Six coaches were on the train on the return trip, but even then a few were compelled to stand. The C. & E. has only about one-half enough coaches to accommodate its summer business. It is a traffic that is growing im mensely, and the company will evi dently have to buy more rolling stock in order to handle it.

The city council " deliberated last night on the subject of Moun- j tain water, and what figure the city government is to pay for fire pro tection. It is said to be the senti ment of the council that the water consumers ought not to be made to bear the whole burden of furnishing fire protection for the city, especial- y for auch as are not patrons of Mountain water, as would be the case if the city paid nothing for fire prctection. The idea that the large property owners should pay more for fi e protection because they have more property to be pro tected, was h Id out by one coun cilman, aud he urged that a tax is only equitable method of reaching tt. Ii is said that about -11,200 per year for water for city u es is the figure most often mentioned as fair, WAS NEWPORT LOVE. COMING BACK. To Birth Place Big: Increase in Salmon Expected at Yaquina. I en million salmon eggs were taken last season at the hatchery, three miles above Elk City on the Elk river. The coming season, the result of the hatchery operations on Elk river are expected to be mani fest in an increased ri n of salmon. It is the theory, that, tor spawning purposes, the salmon return to the waters in which they were hatched. Two million of them were turnsd loose the first season the Elk river hatchery was established, and these are due to return this autumn. A still greater increase should be manifest next season, as 6.000,000 young salmon were turned loose the second year of the hatchery. The third year the number was 8,ooo, 000 and last year it was rolled up to 10,000,000. A large number of the young fish from the last two years' run were placed in the wa ters of the Alsea, mostly in Drift Creek, because of lack of food sup ply for such a swarm of youngsters in the waters o: Yaquina and Elk rivers. FLOYD WILLIAMS. And had no lid oh it A Train That had the Infection Some Incidents. Love was smeared all over the car on the return trip of the New port excursion Sunday evening. About half a dozen couples of 16 to 18 summers forgot all about the presence ot other passengers and yearned for each other with a yearn fulness that was positively pathetic. One maiden and her beau of not more than 19 summers each took turns about sitting on the others lap and leaning on each other, pass ing a swift kiss back and forth when they thought the rest of the car was not looking. Another fair-haired damsel made the jour ney of 60 odd miles to Corvallis on the lap and bosom of her youthful , beau of cot more than 17. Still another with all the symptoms of a sick kitty, and in tatter abandon as to appearances, sat with her arms around the neck of her beau, while he, with an air of complacency, sat through the ordeal wholly undis turbed and apparently unaware of the vulgar gaze of passengers un accustomed to such affectionate ex hibitions. In one seat he and she got to talking baby talk to each other which seemed to be a sort of mixture of humming bird courtship and the .wail of two dying calves. An old codger stuck his head in the rear door of the car and, after catching a glimpse of the situation,, remarked, "Everybody sleeps but father." Just then the train ploughed into a tunnel and after giving vent to a sonnd like a cow drawing her foot out of the mud, he shut the door and disappeared, much to the disgust of those in love and the amusement of those out of love The occurrences are alluded to here, not in criticism for it would be wrong to attempt to put any lid down on true love, but just to show that tb g"?TiAr?tio!i courts a little different to what the old one did, especially when the wierd ef fects of the sad sea waves at the Newport beaches are brought into the case. The things told of above are merely what happened outside the tunnels. j. An Al clock for harvesters and E. W. S. PRATT The Jeweler and Optician. Now A-Field in Philippines Was he in Sunday's Fight? A lieutenant of constabulary was killed in the Philippine Islands Sunday. Six hundred hostile na tives attacked a small detachment of the constabulary on the island of Levte. and in addition to the Mort Abbey ot Condon passed 1 lieutenant, killed 3 privates. What makes the fact ot extreme interest here is that the officer in charge ot the constabulary was Lieut. Wil liams, and he is supposed to be Lieut. Floyd Williams, the well known O. A. C student and athlete. The dispatch giving details of the engagement is to be found in an- through this , city Saturday. He was on his way to Newport co visit his parents.

Clyde Williams, a Drotner at maependence, when asked by phone this morning, de clared it to be the belief of the lam ily that the Williams referred to, in the dispatch is Floyd. A letter from Floyd received not long ago announced that he was to leave Manila July 1st and go into the field. That he should have been placed in charge of the detachment is not unlikely, as Floyd had writ ten that he expected promotion, having already oeen shown favors from superior officers in the way of a clerkship Irom which he received extra emolument and privilege. ice om;tr who was killed a better crop of late Crawfords. Those who wish to do their own picking will be allowed to do so at a dollar a bushel. The orchard is located on Kiger Island south of town. In most orchards in this vi cinity, the peaches are almost a to tal failure. . There is, if a promise is worth anything, to be an end of the block ading of streets by . the Southern Pacinc railroad trains. The matter has been " the subject of com plaint for a long time.

Specifi cations can be seen at the office of Clerk Buchanan, in the Court house. Talk around town is to the ef fect that another hose cart ought to be bought, and that one ought to be stationed in the northwest and one in the southwest part of town, with two at the city hall. 1 here are now three on hand. An additional 500 feet of hose and a new hose cart with a nozzle would be all that would have to be bought by the city the total cost cot exceeding $450. It is said that citizens have offered to supply places for the carts to be kept if the city would provide such an arrangement as is above propos ed. "What tbe city ought to do is to sell the fire engine and apply the proceeds to the purpose," is what Fire Chief Berry said about it. The . proposed distribution of the carts would give Corvallis, with its present fire alarm system, excellent water pressure and many fire plugs one of the most effective systems of fare piotection m the country.
