T. L,. Charnian. of Oregon
CStv was in the city last week,
discussing the question of piiterl
water with the city council. He
recommends a filtering system
similar to that used in the city by
the ialls. The cost of lbeir;plaot i
was about $25,000. Derate tne
council spends that mtfch mbav
on filtering Willamette . river
water it would do well to consider
the Question of a purer water, by
gravity system from Rock Creek.;
It is Ume that this, master was
again brought up, and spfjie steps
taken looking to a speedy solu-;
tiou of the all-impbrtant guestibri:
of better water and better health.

It has been left to a Pennsyl
vania Jurist, Judge Buffington,
of Pittsburg, to render a decision
on the strike question that con
tains an element of fairness that
will be appreciated by both sides.
In the case before him growing
out of the strike at the Rochester
tasnbler works recognizes the
right to strike and to use peace
fnl measures in supDort of the
strike, but very strongly denies
the right to prevent by force or
intimidation, men from working
where ihev desire to work. The
loeic ot the decision is contained
in the judicial epigram that "To
male a man work for another
when he is unwilling: to work is
slavery; to prevent a man from
working who wants to work is
tyranny." When the courts show
an eoual boldness and incisive-
ness in halting the more insidu
us transgressions of the law to
which combinations of capital
sometimes resort the present prob
lems in the solution of labor
question will be found easier.
From a close analysis of the
vote cast by the Prohibition party
at the last election it is evident
that the party is made up of about
90 of republican proclivities and
about 30 whose former political
predelictions were democratic.
This is evident from the way
the vote is divided. One of the
prominent leaders of the party,
in our office a few days ago ex
plained the situation as follows:
4We have waited for several
years for the Republican party to
adort our views on the temper
ance question. They have done
nothing. So we formed the third
party." To put the case in a
amtshell it means that because
4he 90 men could not dominate
and control the 1600 voters ot the
Republican party, they throw
their influence in favor of the
.Democratic party which they
Itriow they never have and never
-can control . What consistent rea
oners these disgruntled fanatics
are. Rule or ruin is their policy,
and because they could not rule
vour party in vour county they
have mined it. But the Prohi
bition question is not et settled
It is for the Republican party of
this county to say whether their
votes on the Prohibition meas
ures yet to come up shall be thrown
in iavor of the tanatics who Have
and who will continue to work
against them at all times, or
whether their measures shall be
defeated. Think the matter over.

To Drill For Oil in Polk County.
A company has been formed
and financed to go in the oil in
dustry again near Dallas, in Polk
county.
Over a year ago oil was sought
at this place out a magmncent
salt well was discovered instead,
which owing to the moist climate
would not be practicable to oper
ate.
The machinery at that time
would not penetrate the earth
any deeper and work was aban
doned. Indications pointed to the
existence of oil, however, deeper
down and a first-class outfit has
been procured and work will be
enewed in the near future. 1 ne
new well will be bored in a differ
ent place from the old one, for,
in case oil is discovered the salt
well will be operated.
There are several good salt
wells in this part of the country,
but the great difficulty is suita
ble and sufficient fuel as artificial
means must be employed to evap
orate the salt water. The place
where the boring has been done
is on the Benjamin Whittaker
donation claim. Mr. Whittaker
in the early 'so's made an at
tempt to profitably make salt by
sun evaporation, but soon touna
that the moist climate ot Oregon
was a bar to this process and
abandoned the attempt.
County Commissioners.
On Wednesday morning the
county commissioners court met
to transact unfinished business.
O. V. Hurt and Lwis Hartley
presented a plea, that inasmuch
as Crefield is a criminal out oi
the ordinary, that he is a menace
to the peace and happiness of the
rnmmunitv at large: that six of
his followers from this commu
nity have been, committed to the
Insane Asylum ot this state, tnat
the court would be justified in as
sisting in the raising of such re
ward as would secure his arrest.
Said plea was granted and a
county order to the sum of $100
was ordered drawn and placed, in
the hands of Sheriff Burnett to
be Daid bv him to the person
securing the arrest of said Ed-
mond Crefield.

The vote on the flag is fast rolling
up into big numbers. Who is your
favorite? If undecided, then why
not vote for the public schools?
This is a cause that appeals right
to the heart of every father and
mother in the city . The flag in the
hands of the school children would
be a source of joy to every home in
Corvallis. Now is the time for the
children to take hold of this matter
and urge their parents to vote for
the schools. The College is old
enough and big enough to get their
own. Each class has one of their
own. Give this flag to the children
and make the little tots happy.'
