The story reached Corvallis a few
days ago to the effect that the 15
year-old son of. Jack Ervin had
killed a black bear on their ranch
between Beaver Creek and Greasy.
The bear was fat as a result . of the
inroads made on the flock of goats
owned by Mr. .Ervin; ..The bov
met bruin in the timber, and al
though he had naught but a shot
gun loaded with birdshot, he open
ed fire. The animal continued to
come toward the lad after the first
shot, b it badly frightened as he
was, the young hunter stood his
ground and unloaded another bar
rel into the bear. This did the
work and the lad had a dead bear
to his credit."
Manager Johnson, of the Benton
Couuty Prune Company, states
that in his opinion there will not
be 500 bushels of prunes "in the
entire orchard of 150 or 160 acres.
The outlook for prunes is so poor
that the big dryer will not be start;
ed at all this year. Not only is
the crop a failure in the big orchard
but there are little or no prunes in
the smaller orchards in that sec
tion of country. D. C Rose, who
has a small prune orchard west of
Corvallis states that he will : have
about a third of a crop of fruit
this year. Of late those who
tnougbt they would have halt a

the fact that the fruit is dropping
from the trees to considerable ex

In response to a communica
tion from the Corvallis water
committee, Engineer Miller ar
rived from Athena, Oregon, Fri
day evening . on the late train.
He was brought down by the
committee for consultation in the
matter of estimates and figures
relative to the survey recently
made for the purpose of bringing
Rock Creek water to our city.
Saturday morning . Mr. Miller
and . the several members of the
water committee met and there
waa joint and informal discussion
of the situation from all points of
view. The water committee was
desirous of settling on some plan
of action and realized that it was
important for them to have some
party of ability to act as superin
tendent. Therefore it was pro
posed to ask Engineer Miller to
accept this position. At this
meeting S. L. Kline, F.- L. Mil
ler and J. R. Smith were appoint
ed a committee to draw up a sat
isfactory contract with the engin
eer and they then adjourned.
In the afternoon the committee
above-mentioned met with En
gineer Miller and Attorney E. R
Brvson and a contract was drawn
up whereby G. N. Miller is to
actas general superintendent and
engineer of the work of construct
ing the Rock Creek water sys
tem providing it is found -advisa
ble and possible to undertake this
work after very carefully going
over all figures and securing cer
tain estimates on piping, etc.,
necessary to the system.
By the terms of the contract,
Engineer Miller is shortly to draw
up plans and specifications of
pipe required, the quantity, size
and quality, and place in the
hands of the water committee
On receipt of these plans and
specifications the committee- will
ask for bids on said pipe, send
ing specification to all leading
dealers and manufacturers of pipe
If it is found when the bids are
in that the city has not money
suffisient to install the Rock
Creek system, according to En
gineer Miller's figures, this gen
tleman does not exact one cent
in payment for his services. In
other words. If the matter of
building on lines .suggested by
himself should be abandoned, he
will charge nothing for his plans
and specifications in the matter
of pipe on which bids are to be
asked.
Engineer Miller has about
week's work yet at Athena when
his work there will be completed
and he will then come to Corval
is. On arrival here he proposes to
at once arrange plans and speci
fications for pipe and the com
mittee .will make things move
with all diligence.

Saturday with the Sifetz team,

The Corvallis baseball boys re
turned Sunday evening from
their trip to Newport, where thy
played two games, one Saturday
and one Sunday. Sunday s game
was a walk-away for them, the
score being 14 to 2 in their favor,
but Saturday s game was differ-
erent and incidentally is said yby
spectators to have been an exhi
bition of ball playing that would
have been a credit to profession
al teams.
The score oi the nine innings
was Newport 2, Corvallis, 1. The
Newport team was considerably
strengthened by the presence ot
three of the U. oU-team. Black-
erby, of Coos Bay, occupied the
pitcher's box for Newport and
although freely hit received such
splendid support that our boys
could . only get one run across
the home plate, although six men
reached third. Colbert pitched
for Corvallis, and put up a heady
game that kept the hits so well
scattered that the score should
have been 1 to 1, but an error in
the 9th on a throw to first allow
ed Bradshaw to score the winning
run. The line up for the Satur
day's game was: .

a game of base ball in the latter
place last Sunday and the final
score was 4 to 3 in favor of Albany.
A game in this city whereby our
