All sales during this TWBKTTY DAYS SPOT Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. 8, 1907, Tor a Pumping Station. It is, as always has been, the; be lief ot the Times that a pumping station 'should be added to the mountain water plant for use in case of ! accident to the pipe line. The occasion' may never arise when a pumping station wOu!d be requir ed. Engineer Miller, at the time when the plant was constructed, opposed a pumping station as un necessary. He declared that the danger from landslides and other wise to the pipe line is infiinitesmal, and that in case of accident ihe res ervoir would supply water until the break could be repaired. ' Nevertheless, the time might come when the ability to pump into the mountain water mains might be of priceless value. It would be a measure of safety that would al ways be reassuring, if never need' ed, and never used, as has been the case with the Portland pumping station, no harm will be done. Life insurance is not the less valuable in case the insured doesn't happen to die for a long time. ' These are reasons on which the Times favors a pumping station. It was very handy last Friday when water from Dr. Farra's mains was available. In the same direction a permanent pumping station might . be cheaply and permanently provided. BILLS ALLOWED.

While he does not claim to be biil liant, he is gifted with that wit and acumen which help Irishmen to high places in the world. ; The Drews are bting pressed for a mort gage which was gotten by ; Valen tine Hay, a scoundrel, who has the presumption to declare his love for the innocent Nora. When he ' Is refused, Hay leaves no stone un turned to crush the Drews and !0' Hara. He uses henchmen to hjde pikes in the ford of the farrier ,'aind gave out the story that O' Hara ftka making those pikes for ... the rebel 5 0 Haia is arrested, but his . inno cence is proven after his escape. Beaten in this , plot, Hay intends foicclosing, but the younger Drew has a thoroughbred", which will sell for. enough money to clear the debt provided the hoise wins. Hay secures the best racehorse of he day, and the contest is between the two animals: Drew's hoioe wins, the mortgage is paid and Nora and the farrier close the story with' a kiss, after Hay and his henchmen are dragged to jail for conspiracy. Tne story is itself worth anyone's attention, but Mr. Doone has en riched the play with the sweetest touches of nature, and dressed all with -the truest bits of Irish scen ery. .The Drew farm is a delight ful country picture, and the smithy offers every opportunity for natur- J to the present ainess, wmcn opportunities are ta ken advantage of by the entire company. Mr. Doone and his helper make music on : the anvil while beating red hot iron into horseshoes, and ; the chatter and singing and dancing aie so true to UCe that one forgets ; himself t and tlieves that Mi;. Doone has taken him into his own little shop. Then the face is made, exciting by the tact .that the news is cnrriedliy ' car rier pigeons. ."Kerry Gow"' is natural, it is beautiful ; This play will be seen here next Friday night and it .will beexactly the same pro duction as was given , at, the Heihg theatre,; Portland; 6n , Tuesday night. 1.

For sale bp Graham & Worthant, . Ligfaf5 in Houses no Better Than Tal low Candles The Long Franchise. The electric light plant in Cor vallis is more of a problem than evei. Private consumers have been inconvenienced during the past week to an extraordinary degree. They are helpless inthe premises and must take what they can get. A person standing undera25-candle power light and holding a news paper to within a foot or two of the light in order to see to read, was a spectacle in a Corvallis home the other night. Alight of the or dinary power is little or. no better than a tallow candle, and in many a case, not as good. The grouping of two or three lights together in order to get light enough for read ing has been resorted to where that means was practicable. It is a fact that on account of the bad light reading has been abandoned in many homes at times during the past week on account of the poor quality of the lights, i In the midst of bur boasted civil ization, we are back to the starting point so far as honse lighting is concerned, unless there is a copI oil lamp in reserve, .for otherwise a candle gives the better light and costs less. It is a condition that Corvallis cannot point to with pride. It reflects no blame on the local officials who regret the . condition as much or more than anybody else. They are powerless to reme dy it, because they "cut but little ice.in the $6,000,000 corporation that now has Corvallis lights in its grip. They say and higher offi cials of the company say the lights are better and that they are to be made still better, but the fact re mains that during the past week they have been worse .ihan at any time since Johnson Porter sold out company. During the dozen years that he wa3 in con trol of the plant, the' lights were standard. . They were infinitely better than candles. A ten candle light under the Porter regime af forded full and beautiful illumina tion for reading purposes. - Ten candle :lightsxafforded rriore light than does a 25 candle light or even a fifty candle light now. People are wearying of the con dition and they have a right to do so. A great hue and cry went up recently for a thirty years franchise to be voted, so the present corpdr ation could get it.r ;The ; Times opposed the granting of that fran chise. It did not then, and it does not now expect to see good come of it. The result has so " far been anything. but satisfactory.?:. Its ef fect has been to deprive Corvallis homes of excellent light they used to have and to substitute therefore a light no better than they had in pioneer days. It isn't the natural thing with a" big corporation ' with a long' franchise of 30 years, longer than the life of a generation to give a whoop whether its customers are suited of not. The council that gave them! this long franchise ought to compel the corporation " to give the citizens of this town proper lighting. r'.
