A PROvERB PARTY.

The Neport correspondent to the Oregon.
ian has the following to say concerning a
party given by young lady of this city at
her summer cottage at that place:
''The most enjoyable event of the season
was the Proverb party given by Miss Hattie
Friendly. of Corvallis, last Friday evening.
The spacious parlor of the Friendly cottage
IN Nye creek was filled with a gay congre-
.ation of merry young folks. The various
pursuits and amusements customary at a
ocial party were gone through. The game

Len Stevens covered himself with glory by
his Familiarity with the saying of sages.

Trough. adding to the enjoyment of all
present. The hostess, Miss Friendly, as.
sisted by Miss Flyn, of Albany, served
ight refreshments, which were discussed
sFith as much zest and ardor as the rest OF
he programme. Miss Friendly favored the
company with couple of selections from
Bret Harte, rendered in pleasing manner.
The young lady is gifted elocutionist and

practice. A curious coincidence was that
the entire company were college students.

Cool RoBBERY.--One of the pas
seng"rs on the o. r. train from Albany
informs US of most cool and daring
robbery in that city yesterday. About
10 a. M. while number of the guests
were lounsing about the office OF the
Revere House the proprietor stepped
out for moment, leaving the safe be-
hind the counter open. Soon after a
stranger stepped in, and going directly
to the safe took out some money and
walked quietly out, nobody suspecting
ANYTHING wrong until the proprietor
returned, having been gone but few
minutes, when he Immediately discov-
cred that the sum of $50 had disap-
peared. The man whos took it had
also disappeared and nothing has yet
been seen of him. The nerve and au-
dacity of the affair makes it one of the
most remarkable ones in the history of
this part of the country.

These papers were brought for con-
sileration of the council, which body
laid then, on the table without any ac-
tion being taken on them whereat the
ire oil the signers was aroused to a
boiling point and heated dis
cussion was rife on the streets and at
all places wherever group of citizens
came together. The signers of the pc
titions felt that they had not been
awarded the consideration they de-
served, since no attention whatever
had been paid to their request.
On the other hand, the members of
the council explain their action by
saying that the ordinance under which
the work is to be done has already
passed the council, that the contract
has been made and signed and that the
contractors have ordered material and
that the preliminary work has been
done by the city at cost of about $3.50.
Besides this the contractors have
already done some work on the job
and as the ordinance provides that all
work done should be assessed against
the property adjacent, this would be
total loss should the contract be revok-
ed, and the objection should have
been made before the contract was
awarded.
To get at all views concerning the
case a representative of the GAZETTE
interviewed one of the contractors as
to the relative merits of the different
methods of drainage, and we here pre-
sent the figures as stated by him:
Surface drainage, to be practical, re-
quires a slope of from one to two feet
70 the block, while here there is but
six inches fall to the block,
which is not sufficient, as sstone
or concrete must be laid
with the greatest accuracy, otherwise
with such very slight fall as it is pos
sible to give it on our streets the water
would not run off but would remain
in the gutter. Tile drainage, on the
other hand, requires less than one foot
fall to the block, thus being better
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1892-09-02

adapted to the fiat ground ON which
our city is built. AS for the objection
to tiling, that the soil and gravel
above the drain will pack hard and
prevent the water from percolating
through, the contractor declares that
this is mistake. If the work IS done
as prescribed in the contract the water
never fails to reach the tile all right; !;
that the gravel will not pack hard
enough to keep the water out. The
plan, he says, has keen tested in the
east, and is not an experiment but is
being generally adopted and is in sue
cessful operation in number Of cities
all over the country.
AS to the relative expense of the
different methods, he supplied us with
the following figures for comparison ::
A stone gutter with curb will cost about
$11O per running foot, while the tile
drain costs 45 cents per running foot.
The wooden box drain would cost
only 20 cents per running foot.
The contractors say that they will
proceed with the work unless stopped.
1t is certainly to he hoped that the diff
fei ences between the council and the
demonstrating parties may be compro-
missed and settled amicably, and that
The streets will be improved according
to the best interests of all parties con-
cerned.
To THE WORLDS FAIR.-It has
been definitely settled that Corvallis
is to be represented at the worlds fair
and that in an exceedingly unique
manner. A party composed of six Or
seven Of the old pioneers of this coun-
ty have decided to 60 there in just the
same manner they came to this state
SO many years ago-that is to say, they
will 60 in wagons drawn by oxen.
They have already raised the funds
necessary for the expenses of the trip,
and have a driver, cook, two guards,
wagon master and mule. This mule,
also pioneer of Benton county, is a
good one for this trip. He is between
% and 80 years of age, and 20 years
ago did service in the region about
Fort Hoskins, at one time an old mill
tary post in Kings valley, Benton
county, but which is now in ruins.
The party go under the command of
Prior Scott, and they wish to secure a
number of articles, such as were used
in olden times i'll crossing the plains,
among which is wanted an old-style,
wood axle, linch-pin wagon, four clear
horn brindle steers, an old-fashioned
Dutch bake oven and tar-buckct. In-
stead of the traditional sign :'To Ore
gon or Bust" which decorated the
wagons Of the pioneers, they will re-
place it with "From Oregon-To the
Worlds Fair or Bust" which will be
painted in conspicuous letters upon the
canvass cover of the wagon. 1t has
been suggested, though, that the latter
part of the inscription be changed to
"To the Worlds Fair on Bust"
which, no doubt, would be more APP
propriate for the occasion. Another
feature of the party, SO we are INFORM
ed, which will attract the eye of the
Chicagoan is Nick Beason and his
two bears. 1t is not learned whether
it Is Nick S intention to have the bears
trained to dance to the fiddle as pre-
caution in case of an emergency or
not, but at any rate they will be a
drawing card.
