FHE CORVALLIS GAZETTE Tuesdays and Fridays, WATER SYSTEM. Competent engineers on the construction of water systems who have visited our city to view up the surroundings looking to wards a proposal to construct a water system have suggested that the city should invest some means in the ownership of part of the system. This they claimed was not for lack of funds to construct the system, but they claimed that as strangers coming into a strange community to in vest their means, the city should own at least part of the invest ment to assure the good faith of our people and that the bal ance of the owners of the works would be properly treated. As such investment on the part of the city may be insisted upon before the experts will under take the construction of water works it certainly would be proper to obtain an enabling act from the legislature soon to meet authorizing the city to buy ad own at least about $15,000 to $20,000 in value of the plant upon condition that this invest ment will afford the city all the water for city purposes without any further cost or investment on the part of the city. The city should have the option to purchase the balance of the works at any time after ten years, after giving prop?r notice, but be un der no obligation to so purchase. The city should not be required to furnish any larger investment or afford means to supply any further bonds or land security to the builders. From a sound business stand point viewed from the city's side of the question, any company i proposing to construct water! works should be supplied with amrjle means so as to insure the tof fhrw nai.foi'nivMury.

Democrats, against the bills, 648 votes. Republicans, for the bills 1,068 votes. Republicans against the bills, none. In line with this showing made by the last Democratic administration 8,694 pensioners were dropped from the rolls and 23,702 pensions were reduced, because the Democratic leaders asserted that after from one toi four years' marching, fighting, starving and freezing, it was found that they were not suffi ciently disabled to hold the pen sions which a Republican ad ministratien had given them. Arrived in Portland Saturday. United States Senator John H. Mitchell and Congressman Bin ger Hermann arrived in' Portland Saturday from Washington to ap pear before the federal grand jury and explain what they know of of the land frauds and operations of the Puter-Ware Watson-Mc-Kinley ring. Both gentlemen deny having anything to do with the frauds against the federal land department except so far as they have attended to their duty as officials, and they express their entire conviction that their names will not be connected with the frauds after they have a hearing before the grand jury. It is now believed that Mitchell and Hermann will be allowed to go before the grand jury early after the holiday recess so that they can hasten back to Wash ington to attend to their duties in congress, and it thought the case in which they are to testify will be taken up immediately" after Christmas. In some quarters it is even ramored that neither of the two will be allowed to appear before the grand jury, and that their trip was for nothing. vjeorge C.
