REQUEST NO. 1.
Believing that the inability of the
Corvallis Water Company(through
faulty construction of its pipes and
works) to afford proper supply of
water under their contract with
the city of Corvallis for extinguish
ment 01 area leaves the city 111 a
dangerous condition, liable to be
consumed by fire at any lime
without an adequate supply of
water with which to extinguish the
feanie; that the several fire com
panies 01 tne city nave become so
discouraged in not having suffi
cient force of water to combat the
flames that the fire department
has largely lost its usefulness as
compared with the heroic services
of former years; that several asso
ciations of fire underwriters have
largely mcreasea tne rates 01 in
surance in Corvallis, basing their
reasons therefor on the failure and
inefficiency of said water com
pany to supply tne necessary
water for fire purposes and the
faulty construction of said water
works: not being in favor of the
city purchasing a faultily construct
ed water works because the water
company have hot fulfilled their
contract with the city arid feeling
that our homes, our property and
business are. liable at any time to
be consumed by fire for want of
sufficient water-to extinguish the
flames, ;
i We, the undersigned citi
zens, residents and taxpayers of
said city of Corvallis most respect
fully hereby petition the honorable
mayor . and common council of
said city of Corvallis and request
that you "employ a thoroughly
competent engineer, who is the
best posted expert that you can get
ou the improved methods of con
structing water works and have
said expert thoroughly examine as
to the manner in which said
water company's works are con
structed and make a report there
of to your honorable body wherein
eaid construction is faulty, giving
the reasons why said water com
pany does not or cannot fulfill its
contract with said city.
After said report is made and
you are fully advised as to the
eause of the water company's
failure to fulfill its said contract,
then for you to request said water
company to immediately put its
water works in proper condition
to enable them to fulfill 6aid con
tract and supply said city with all
necessary water as provided in
said contract for the use of said
city at fires and for all other pur
poses. If said water company
Shall fail or neglect to take imme
diate steps to comply, therewith,
then we request that you cause
all necessary actions, suits and
lexal proceedings to be brought
'against said water company in
order to cause said water company
to fulfill said contract. And we
. most respectfully request that you
proceed in this matter at once
REQUEST NO. 2.
To Your Hon. Body, the Common
Council of the City of Corvallis:
We, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers ot said city, believing
that the future prospects and de
'velopinent of a city largely de
pends upon its healthful condition
and sanitary regulations, there
fore most respectfully request that
during the time you are takin
the necessary proceedings as out
lined in request No. 1, you
will also begin and take all neces
sary proceedings to construct
throughout said city a thorough
and complete system of -sewerage
on the best and most improved
plans with capacity in main sewers
sufficient for the city's use for
many years hence.
REQUEST NO. 3.
To Your lion, liody, the Common
Couacil of the City of Corvallis;
We. the undersigned citizens
and taxpayers of said city, belie v
ing that we cannot build and com
.plete at the same time, because of
" i.heavy burdens upon the people,
all desirable public improvements,
and as a good sewerage system
promises health,- thus preserving
the life of our people, it should be
among the first improvements
constructed, therefore, most re
spectfully request that after the
sewerage system named in request
No. 2 is completed or so far under
way as you deem proper, you
take all necessary proceedings
which are practicable to cause a
free wagon bridge to be construct
ed across the Willamette river at
Corvallis and in the meantime
that you take such immediate
steps as you can to assist in getting
the present owners of the ferry at
Corvallis to make it a free ferry.
Special investigation by Brad-
street's of the conditions and pros-J
pects of New England s leading
industries shows the influence ex
erted in several lines by the de
pression in general trade and
changes in methods' of doing busi
ness growing out of the growth of
business aud manufacturing m the
west. Leather, boots and shoes
and woolen goods trade reports are
as a rule not very encouraging. In
cotton manufacturing, trade and
prospects are classed as fair. The
paper industry is conceded to have
suffered least from the prevailing
quietness, lhe one New England
industry which above all others is
prosperous and running on extra
time is that of rubber manufactur
ing. The reason for this ?ies in
small stocks now carried and the
practical stoppage of production,
owing to the control of the market
by a syndicate and to late political
complications in Brazil. Paper
mills are running on lull time.
The Maine pulp mills are especi
ally well situated, and that state
is rapidly becoming the center of
this class of production. The spring
trade in cottons promises well,
and
mills are now running on full
time,
From the annual report of the
fifth auditor of the treasury it ap
pears that the expenditures for
the consular service have exceed
ed the receipts for the first time
since the year 1886. The expenses
show an increase of $G3,112 over
those for last year, and the fees
show a falling off of $61,510. The
consular fees collected during the
year amounted to $978,142. The
falling off was under the head of
invoice and currency certificates.
The decline in the amount of in
voice fees would seem to indicate
that there have been over 22,000
fewer dutiable importations of for
eign goods into the United States
in the year covered by the report
than in the preceding year. Ac
cording to the report there were
paid to the states under the direct
tax act during the year $11,477, 15.
Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia,
ias been electea speaker ot the
house of representatives, the thir
tieth ballot being the decisive one.
Mills followed closely as second in
the contest, but the withdrawal of
Springer made additional strength
for Crisp, and thus secured his
election. Crisp is a southern man
of ablihty and conservatism, and
his choice will bring the coinage
question into prominence in the
campaign next year. It means
that the democratic party of the
south and west are in direct oppo
sition to the doctrinal ideas 01 ex-
President Cleveland and his fol
lowing on the money problem;
and it virtually concedes that
money and tariff will be the issue
in the presidential race to follow,
Crisp is certainly a safer, shrewder
man than Mills.
The meeting of congress Monday
foreshadows some interesting and
important events before the close
of another year. Its complexion
in the house ist made up mainly
from the democratic party, and the
republicans will have but little to
do with the legislation of that
body, but it will meet a stump in
the senate aHd executive, lhe
democrats - will have a hard row
to hoe in all respects the coming
year.
A fruit grower in Umatilla
county claims to have discovered
a means of doing away with the
destructive codlin moth. He
and his theory is that the moth is
drowned when ready to leave its
winter quarters in the ground. As
proof that this is efficacious, he
states that his orchard is not trou
bled, but his neighbors are obliged
to spray their trees repeatedly.
The mayor of Seattle has re
signed his office and stepped down
and out. The administration of
the city government was a boring
burden, and it soon had a telling
effect upon his health. ; ,
From New Jersey and Tennessee
come reports of men freezing to
death already this fall. It would
appear as though in those sections
"a hard winter" is indeed probable.
From April to August last year,
our exports of machinery to Brazil
were $214,821. During the same
time this year they were $824,104.

DO M PEDRO.
Pedro the Second, ex-emperor
of BraziI,whose death is announced
by the dispatches, was the head of
the direct male line of the house
of Braganza, the royal house of
Portugal since '1640. Measured
by his literary and scientific accom
plishments, by his enlightened and
beneficent political career, Dom
Pedro was the best constitutional
sovereign of his day and genera
tion. He ended the slave trade
by a decree in 1850; . he won the
free navigation of the River Platte
for Brazil in 1852; he crushed that
monster of cruelty, Lopez, the
tyrant of Paraguay; his influence
secured the passage of the prelim
inary measure of emancipation in
1871; he made free education
almost universal through his em
pire; developed the commercial
prosperity of his country; sup
pressed the political power of the
clergy; placed the national finan
ces in a good condition, and un
der his rule slavery was finally
abolished, railwaysbuilt, telegraph
and cable lines built in every
direction; and the the navigation
of the great rivers Amazon and
Platte promoted. He banished
the Jesuits and ordained that
their property should escheat to
the state. During his absence in
Europe the action of his daughter,
the regent Isabel, precipitated the
revolution of 1SS9. She recalled
the Jesuits. On his return in 1889
the emperor signed a decree of
general emancipation, and the
planter class, who were ready for
emancipation, but not until com
pensation had been voted, or
ganized a revolt and proclaimed a
republic. The emperor was
forced to abdicate; the people
knew that Brazil was safe under
Pedro, but dreaded the succession
of his bigoted . daughter, . the
Countess d'Eu. -
A Wall street broker of long
experience and manced iinanciai
success lately talked about the
millionaires he had' met. For
several years he. was closely asso
ciated with Jay Gould and other
millionaires, and said that ..the
fortunes of Wall street men are
greatly exaggerated in most in
stances. - He doubted whether
Gould could clear up his obliga
tions and get out of the street with
much ' over $50,000,000. He
thought Russell Sage . might be
worth the sum of $70,000,000.
Cornelius Vanderbilt is probably
worth between $125,000,000 and
$150,000,000, and John D. Rocke
feller's interests are so widespread
and so prosper&us that nobody ex
cept himself really knows how
rich he is.
Five years ago Rev. Hugh Pen
tecost was a '.Presbyterian min
ister ot great prominence in
New York,' Doubts drove him to
a Unitarian pulpit; then he be
came an agnostic. Our understand
ing of an agnostic is a man who
doesn't know; doesn't deny or
affirm, simply doesn't know. From
an agnostic Pentecost became an
atheist. From atheism he flung
himself into anarchy, and was an
anarchist in Chicago. As anarch
ist he was the editor of the Twen
tieth Century. Now he announces
that he will cease to be an editor
and will be a lawyer. The inter
esting question arises in Pente
cost's career, "What next ?"
Considerable discussion is ga
in" on in England and in the east
ern states over the fact disclosed
by the recent British census, that
while all other religious denomi
nations in Ireland have decreased
in the number of their member
ship during the last decade the
Jews have increased 281 per cent.
This great influx of Jews into Ire
land is really a curious fact, and
as yet no one has offered a reason
able explanation of it. It is evi
dent that if it keeps on at the same
rate for another decade or two
Dublin will be a new. Jerusalem.
Mr. Blaine is unquestionably
the choice of a great majority of the
republicans for the presidential
nomination next year. The pres
ent floating reports indicate that
the secretary is agreeable with the
drifting sentiment of his party in
his favor. Blaine and McKinley
sounds pratty nice, and it may
prove the winning card of 1892.
, It is said that Dr. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes is rapidly failing. Dr.
Holmes is purely American, born
and bred, and we look upon his
literature as the product of a great
and good man, noble and true-to
humane principles, and grand and
glorious for brilliant manhood.

"-' The Great Prestige of RoyM . "
Baking Powder envied
' , py .'all competitors.
The envy shown by other baking powder man-'
ufacturers of the great prestige of the Royal
Baking Powder is not at all surprising.
For thirty years the Royal has been the stand
ard for purity and strength in baking powders,
and has been placed at the heacf by every board
of official examiners whether State or National.
The Royal Baking Powder Company controls its
own cream of tartar factory and the processes for
making the only absolutely pure cream of tartar;
it sends its product to millions of homes all over
the world, supplies the Army and Navy, the great
transatlantic steamers, the finest hotels and res
taurants, and is recommended by the best chefs
and authorities on cuisine in every land. Its
, sale' ' is ' larger than that of all other cream .of
tartar baking powders combined ; it has more
friends among housekeepers. - than any other

They Jat as Dickens Told Thom.
A good story is told at one of the ho
tels here about some of the English di
vines, who are in the city in attendance
upon the Methodist ecumenical council.
It was noticed that at the hour set down
for dinner on the card posted in each
room giving the rules of the house these
English preachers would gather about
the doors of the dining room and when
they 'were opened would make a wild
rush inside, and to seat themselves hasti
ly at the first table they reached and to
begin to eat as quickly-as possible. m
The landlord was puzzled to know the
cause of this strange conduct on the part
of his foreign guests. Inquiry developed
the fact that these reverend gentlemen
had before coming over posted them
selves on American customs by reading
Dickens' "American Notes" and "Mar
tin Chuzzlewit." The scene in the latter
descriptive of the effect of the hotel din
ner gong causing everybody to quit
whatever he was doing and make a rush
for the dining room lest he should fail
to get any dinner they took as gospel
truth and were governing their own con
duct accordingly. Washington Cor.

Parnell'a Brother. '
According to an Atlanta . paper a
seedy looking man, not quite fifty and
wearing a discouraged and colorless
slouch hat, with a suit to match, stood
before the bulletin boards in Atlanta the
other day to get a glimpse of dispatches
about, tho death of Charles Stewart Par
nelL The man was John Parnell, a
brother of the Irish leader, who has
spent the latter years of his life tending
fruit trees on a little farm seventy-five
miles from Atlanta. "1 cannot believe
that he is dead," said he. "The only
thing that makes me believe the report
is the statement that he died suddenly.
There were twelve children in our fam
ily, six of whom are dead, and every one
of the six died suddenly. Our sister
Fanny, who died last, was found dead in
bed. Charles, and in fact all of us, are
subject to attacks of nervous prostra
tion, and if he is dead this must have
caused his death. He loved us all, and
but a short time ago he wrote me a most
affectionate letter."
. Illustrated Reporting.
In connection with the suicide of Gen
eral Boulanger, a feat has been accom
plished by one of the Paris weekly pa
pers which shows to what perfection of
dispatch illustrated reporting has now
been brought. On "Wednesday, on the
reception of the news of the general's
death, The Illustration sent to Brus
sels two members of its staff, one a
draftsman, , the. other a photographer.
On Thursday morning these artists had
photographed the general lying in state,
as well as the hotel in the Rue Montoyer,
and had even improvised a representa
tion of the scene in the cemetery. They
then took the train, and arrived in Paris
on the same day with all that was need
ed for the illustration of that day's issue
of the journal. An interesting detail is
that the proofs of the photographs were
taken and the artist's drawing executed
during the railway journey back to
Paris. London News. '
Walking Back 'to tbe lilg City.
"Wrecks of 'the early winter theatrical
season are already seen in New York
managers whose ventures have failed
after a few nights, out of town, tired
looking actors who seem to have walked
home, and bedraggled looking women,
whose faces tell plainly of their disap
pointments.' It is the old story of poor,

ghost to do his weekly little pedestrian

: - A Turtle's Nest. ..-
In the town of Patten, a place distant
from tidewater over ninety miles, there
is a great curiosity, known as the "tur-.
tie's nest:" For fifty-two years a turtle
has come annually to the nest to deposit
her eggs. : Over half a century ago she
selected her nest, then in an open field,
but now in a yard in front of a resi
dence. A relative of the owner of the
house branded the date 1841 upon the
turtle's back, and it can' be plainly
traced now.' She comes about the same
date each year, and her first few days
are passed in inspecting tho ancient
nest, the yard and surroundings.
Later she digs a hole in the ground
and there deposits her eggs. This year
Bhe left forty-two eggs, but as many
were carried away and the others often
disturbed, only about a dozen of the
eggs hatched out. The . owner of the
house has ten of . the little turtles, none
more than twice the size of a postage
stamp. The old turtle always departs
after laying the eggs; the warm sand
and sun "serve as an incubator.
This turtle has been seen at the Drew
Dead Water on the Mattawamkeng
river, fully fifty milea away ; from the
nest. Her weight varies from thirty to
thirty-five pounds, and it is said she was
as large when branded as she is now;
Each June she comes to Fatten, and is
always welcomed by old and young.

Hats Off In the Synagogue.
The vexed question ot "hats on" or
"hats off' during public worship was
settled at the annual meeting . of the
Anshe Chesed congregation, at the tem
ple on Scoville avenue. The old Jewish
custom of the male members of the con
gregation wearing their hats during
public worship has always been in vogue
in this congregation. A number of the
younger and more progressive members
have objected to the custom, and it has
caused more or less discussion for several
years. The older members held tena
ciously to their hats, and the younger
ones bided their time until they should
have a sufficient majority converted to
their views to change the custom.
The matter was brought np at the an
nual meeting, which was very largely
attended. The hat question was dis
cussed at great length, and several very
warm speeches were made oh both sides.
It was finally put to a vote, and the
i members who are opposed to wearing
hats were victorious by a decided ma-
I jority. The decision was that hereafter
j the congregation shall worship with hats
j off, but those, who desire to retain their
j head covering will be permitted to do
so. Cleveland Leader and Herald.
