-Colonel J. K. Philips, of this city,
has had a recent experience in toad
culture that is considerably out of
the usual order of things. Some
little time ago he took an empty
barrel, and connecting a hose to
ihe bung hole, filled it with water.
A short time after this he noticed
a little toad come up out of the
depths of tf e barrel and stick its
head out of the bung hole. As the
days past by the toad became
larger. It is not known how
'"toadie" sprang into existence, but
the supposition is, that like Topsy,
it "just growed." Colontl Philips
is speculating on the possibility of
the toad finally growing up in the
barrel.

this report be true, a continuation

manner not soon to be forgotten.

- In company with Prof. Skel
lon, of the O A C, Sidney Smith,
civil engineer, and Judge Carey,
his attorney, . both of Portland,
were around town, Saturday, in
terviewing our city council and
prominent people' with regard to
a. proposition to establish a sys
tem of water works- in this city.
T"hey represent Portland capital
ists who nave abundant means,
it is said, to carry l out the plans
as outlined by them. . .
-;; They were gathering data with
a view to bringing water from
Marys river, several miles above
Philomath. , Their ; plan is to
furnish water to Philomath as
well as this city, : should the for
user so desire. It, after a survey,
it should prove - that the fall
would be too great from the dam
that would be placed in Marys
river, they propose to break this
force with, a reservoir a few miles
out of town.
They ask for no bonus, but de
sire an exclusive franchise lor a
period of fifty years. They agree
to sell the system to the city at
the expiration of fifteen years at
appraised valuation. On sum
cient notice they will sell to the
citv at any-period thereafter on
the same terms. They seemed
to think that they could furnish
an inexhaustable supply of water
at a cost under the present rate.
Mr. Smith has had a large ex
perience in the establishment ot
water systems throughout the
country and has been connected
with the placing of the system of
water works in Portlaud and Se
attle. Judge Carey was seeking
information, with a view lo prop
erly drafting' a plan which he
will submit to the city council in
the gear future. It is probable
that the matter wilt come up for
consideration at the next regular
meeting of the council.
This matter is of vital impor
tance to the Agricultural College,
asjthey have experienced consid
erable difficulty of late in secur
ing a quantity of water sufficient
or the requirements of this insti
tution. They have had ill luck
boring: for water and are greatly
puzzled regarding a solution of
this question. As the institution
grows it requires more and more
water and the question before the
authorities is "Where is it com
ing from?"

Domestic Infelicity.
IL B. Vogle, of Lompoc, Cali
fornia, writes us: I have just re
turned from another trip to the
earthquake district, and, as usual,
found something new a large
bee tree. It was well shaken up
and honey was flowing from it
I did not venture very near,
as I
have plenty of honey at home.
While in the hills, I visited a
large farm house where they were
having a Mexican "fandango."
The room was a very large one,
with nothing in it save chairs
placed against the wall. The
windo'ws were large and the
house had a porch all around it
and entwined about the posts
were various lovely flowers. The
dance is something grand and
entertaining. The ladies, as
well as the gentlemen, all have
French heels on their shoes. The
ladies are very pretty and very
strong, and when the "fiddler"
called out "swing that gal" they
usually swing me.
In time luncheon, consisting
of beans, coffee, torteas, tamales
and red pepper, was prepared. I
told them that pepper among the
Americans was used for a differ
ent purpose, but they seemed to
know of no use for it save to eat
it, A coyote, it is said, will
never disturb a dead Mexican on
account of the pepper.
After lunch we had a social
chat. I noticed the ladies cut
ting little squares of gilded paper
and wrapping them in tissue and
found out their use before part
ing, as every lady in the house
rubbed one on my head and I
got it "in the neck" when I
reached home. The ladies are
slighted if the compliment is not
returned. I met with no resist
ance and soon made the rounds.
I forgot all about the quakes and
left shortly after before I be
came an unwilling acrobat.
