A gentleman representing a Spo kane house that deals in water pipe was in Corvallis, Sunday, making inquiries concerning the proposed new water system for this city. His house encourages capitalists to invest in enterprises of this nature, hoping to secure orders for pipe. Another move is to be made in the effort to secure a twice a-day passenger service for the towns along the westside, including Cor vallie, Independence, McMinnville, Amity and McCoy. ' The matter will be taken up with the Southern Pacific officials at Sah Franciecd, and it is believed that satisfactory results will be accomplished.

Some popular thoroughfate, probably the Corvallis road on the Linn county tide of the river, will be selected and the road .kept free from dust and holes during the driving season. A movement of this kind would materially assist in getting the good roads work on a firm- basis and would would be of untold benefit to the community, besides affording many people a pleasant summer roadway for their evening drive Herald!

Armstrong so Badly Injured fey En raited Animal That lie Died.. W. D. Armstrong was o badly injured by an enraged bull last Monday afternoon that he died within two hours. News of the distressing event was brought to this city about 6 o'clock Monday evening by a messenger who came td secure medical assistance for the injured man. Dr. Cathey left immediately for the Arm strong home, four miles south of Philomath, but death had reliev ed the sufferer before his arrival. Mr. Armstrong, who was 68 years of age, was leading the ani mal, a hornless Jersey, from the pasture to the house. A short chain was attached to a ring in the bull's nose, and Mr. Arm strong was leading the animal by this chain . when it made the at taekr; : v ;s:v : The i 2 -year-old grandson of the deceased" was returning home from school in the afternoon y when his attention was attracted by loud- bellowing. He saw. his grandfather prostrate and the maddened bull butting him vi cisusly. Without a moment's hesitation he seized a club and bravely attacked the enraged ani mal, which refused to be driven off. Mr. Armstrong - called to the boy to run to the house, some two hundred yards distant, and get the shotgun. Securing the weapon, the lad sent a charge of shot in the animals nose, causing 15 to aesisr, in its attack. By this time the family and Names ' Henderson, a neighbor, had arrived on the scene, and they assisted the wounded man ta the house, where -he died two hours later. Dr. Ioggan was summoned, but he found Mr. Armstrong beyond medical aid. His collar bone was broken, sev eral ribs penetrated the lungs, and he was otherwise injured about the head and chest. Nothing is known of the cause or manner of the attack, except what was learned from the vic tim.- He had stooped over for some purpose, when the bull rushed upon him, knocking him prostrate. Being feeble, his ef forts to escape were . futile, and hi! was soon too badlv hurt to make further attempt Mr. Armstrong had been a resident of Benton . county for thirty years, and was well known.

JIoulu, after a ten days illness Percival Nash writes from Dawson to a friend in Portland that he is nearly well and is able to walk with the . aid of a cane. Mr. Nash, who has been hunting and trapping in the Arctic, in flicted a fearful wound in his leg while splitting wood to make a fire, and when found was trying: to coax his dog near him in order to kill the animal to keep himself trom starving. He writes that the muscles in hiVleg are regaining their normai condition, and that, although the sinews are still a little shrunk in the sole of his foot, he expects finally to be as ever. He asks i the ' 'Tauana" fever has struck' Portland on ac count of a richC strike reported on one of the . big tributaries of the Yukon 600 miles down. He ad vises any ofl his. friends who have a notion of stampeding to wait awhile. He says there have been a great many, stampedes from Dawson to the ne new diggings, and from all accounts - the coun try down there - has been staked and restaked; He says the Uni ted States has some of the worst mining . laws any country ever had."

Barry Uelgate Comoares Oregon and ; Waliinstofl in an Inttraatlag Letter.' Editor Gazette: Washing ton profited by Oregon's usury and related laws, capital seeking investment finding a less restrict ed field north -of the Columbia river. It was to the intetesfo' the Northern Pacific and tie Great Northern railroads to build up this state and their immense capital aad- efficient organization brought business and people and Washington has surpassed Oregon in population and cliim a commercial supremacy. Tin claim is not easi y . established, j While Washington has more ' arge cities and towns than has Oregon, an . uupaddtd census would doubtless givs Portland a population greater by 25,000 tlur? Seattle; and Portland ioboing houses sell goods throughout Washington, while practically none of the Oregon .business comes to Washington cities. Washington's iatio of ? dvance ment cannot be maintained al though her growth will be rapid. Her resources have already been largely exploited and many parts of the state have been over-capitalized. Oregon, much richer in natural resources,' will not be able to hide its light under a bushel longer, and it is reasonable to ex pect that the state will grow faster than its northern neighbor. . As between Portland and Seat tle, the former has "a local back ing that Seattle can never have. The trade of the Columbia and Willamette valleys belong to Portland and will go there, until the laws of gravity are suspend ed. Seattle has harbor advant ages but in great cities a harbor does not seem . to be an absolute necessity: and when Portland has learned to make the. r&outh of the Columbia her harbor instead of continuing the costly and heart-breaking" plan of hauling her freight vessels up the Colum bia and Willamette rivers, she will have a positive harbor ad vantage over Seattle, in nearness to the sea. Portland will always control the shipping at the mouth of the .Columbia, and can profit ably spare the trade of stevedores, warehouse employes and ships crews. " Portland is far richer than Seat tle. It is a creditor city. It is the Boston of the Pacific coast. In Oregon, most of . the profits from investments" jremain in the state, adding to its capital. A large percentage 01 the interest and dividends arising from in rvestments-.in Washington s:o to non-residents, and no small pro portion to Oregonians. -The Ladds alone control about 20 Washington banks. The invest ment company backed by Chas. Ladd and Theodore Wilcox have already about $800,00 loaned in this state. " An agent of the com pany told me that the company finds the demand for loans much greater here, than in Oregon, but stock is sold faster in Oregon. Seattle has apparently won de cisively its fight with Tacoma only to find a new rival in Ever ett. As yet Seattle hardly ad mits the rivalry, but any Everett man will confess that his city is destined to distance ' the present metropolis of Washington. Ever ett has now a population of about 20.000, with mills and factories that are enlarging their capaci ties, and . transportation facilities which in some respects are be yond those of Seattle. What Everett will, become depends chiefly upon Jim Hill. H. Iy. HOI.GATE. Seattle, Wash., Apr. 27, '03. TOUR SU Meet McMIimvllle' Tomorrow.
