COR V ALLIS, OREGON,
FRIDAY EVENING, APR. 19, 1907

:
Corvallis, Oregon
BILLY INVESTIGATOR. .
Corvalli9 people . ..will read with:
a flash of pridethe - report ,' of" the
water commission in another col
umn. In round numbers the water
receipts for January were $56 i for
February, $663 and, for March)
$676; making a total water reven
ue for the quarter of $2001. vs. Ad
ded to these are tapping fees, $151,
65 and miscellaneous, $1.70, which
with the balance pn hand. January
ist, makes a total assets of $2,950,
78. The expenditures for the three
months was labor and salary,
$336.85, materials, $164,79, freight
and dray age, $71.70 r and sundries,
$83.20, total, " $659.54. The bal;
auce on hand is, $2,291.25. The
interest for the period is, $937.50.
The figures confirm what was al
ready known, that the Mountain
Water system is a sound and sta
ble financial investment. Its fiscal
success is already -.. demonstrated.
The revenue is larger than the
original few who urged the enter
prise ever ; dreamed it would be.
That under a wise and economical
management it will eventually come
to be the best investment from a
standpoint of mere ' finance that
Corvallis ever made, is assured.
That from the standpoint of health
and as an influence for the growth
of the municipality it is of infinite
value, nobody now denies. -
These pleasant reflections recall
the attitude of those who ' fought
the enterprise and strove to deieat
it. The opposition freely predicted
bankruptcy, but instead of bank
ruptcy, there is a handsome bal
ance on the ledger, available for
needed extensions. When the time
for payment of interest comes, there
will be plenty of money for the pur?
pose. When the period for creat
ing a sinking fund arrives, there
will be abunJant means therefor.
In the menntime, the, town has as
good water as has any town in the
world. No town has better, be
cause chemical and bacteriological
tests have determined that there is
no better water. The Times which
begun the agitation for this water
and fought the good fight lor it,
congratulates the good, people of
Corvallis and bespeaks a lasting
rest and peace to the bones and
soul of Little . Billy Investigator..
COMPLAINING AT MAIL SERVICE
The Portland "Pink Domino" Burglaf
Stopped School in February.
The "Pink Domino" burglar,
now in jail in Portland, was lately
a student at OAC. He came the
first .of November and left on ac
count of jsickness February 5th.
During the time, He was a very
good student, and his behavior so
far as known, was as correct as
that of the average. He was as good
or, better than the average in men
tality, and showed a disposition to
excel. He was expected to return
to college when he went away, but
instead seems, after the recovery
to have invaded Portland and gone
into the burglary business, at
which he has 'achieye4 sudden and
unenviable notoriety, t He is prob
ably booked for the penitentiary,
though it is not likely that he is
guilty of half the crimes laid at his
door. " . - :- j .
' ' The boy's name is E.'-IA. :. Lane.
He has given the name of Davis
and other aliases. He' registered
as 19 years of age, and was 01
stroDg athletic build- He lived at
Cathorn Hall, aid his conduct
there, according to Mr. Whitehead,
was above reproach. Only a single
case of theft occurred in the Hall
during the time Lane- was there,
but even now it is no.t charged to
his account, r He was orderly in his
behavior at the place and his whole
conduct acceptable to the head of
the hall. , r
When he came to college he
frankly explained that he had been
in the reform school, but said that
he had wearied of evil ways and in
tended to do better. President
Gatch took him at his word f and
Lane was admitted to the courses.
It is the belief of his instructors
that during his stay in the institu
tion he made a strong effort to
make a man of himself, and to for
sake those ways that are dark and
tricks tb at are vain. I
He was arrested in Portland
Tuesday night with evidences of
guilt all around. He stoutly de
nies that he was the man who bur
glarized the Rountree residence dur
ing which Mrs. Rountree; was
choked and beaten by a burglar. 1

Trains Never on Time Vexatious De
lays to Business Rural Mails 24
1 Hours Late. :
There is a great deal of complaint
about town on account of the mail
service. , The particular point of
attack is in the arrival of the trains.
It is said that scarcely a mail train
coming into Corvallis manages to
arrive on time on an 'average of
once, a week. ' The Westside" pas
senger is always from 20 minutes
to an hour late. ' It in turn delays
the eastbound C. & 15. train at the
crossing, ana that in turn brings
it westbound ' into , Corvallis ' from
20 minutes to an hour late. It
should have arrived at 1:30 but
yesterday for Instance, got it' at
2:30. The C. & E. is likewise
held at Albany by the failure of
the Cottage Grove local - to varrive
on time. A general system of de
layed trains is the rule, and with
it is the attendant delayed mails,
and "the disappointment and delay
of correspondence incident thereto.
It interrupts; the prompt 'dispatch
of business with other localities. It
hampers and . demoralizes the post
office. It keeps everything out of
gear with the result that there is a
very, tiied feeling all over town,
One of the worst of all the features
is the most of the time mail for the
rural free delivery routes goes out
of Corvallis 24 hours late because
the carriers in order tb make their
schedule are compelled to leave
town before the arrival of the trains
with which their schedule -is suj
posed to connect.
One feature in the mixup is that
eastern letters arrive in the morn
ing and very frequently eastern pa
pers that ought to come with them
are not received until the afternoon
For the latter, it is understood there
is no legitimate excuse. If the let
ters come, it issaid the papers
should come with equal promptness
and regularity. ' The whole propo
sition is much 'condemned. It
threatens to drive the postmaster
to drink. It is extremely annoy-;
ing to the public, which patiently
wonders if (the authorities, cannot
correct the trouble. ' : !-
