MANY FATHoMs DEEP
A Well and Pump to Match-Water
at Ten Cents per Drink.

In some places on earth the wat
er problem is an intricate one,
Thomas Slate, in town Monday,
knows of one of these places. He
lives across the Willamette six
miles, He formerly ran pump
ing station in the Eureka Flat
country, north OF Wa!la Walla-
They ship in water there on the
railroad. Ten cents a drink ia
paid for 1t, for horses,
In some places there, they have
deep wells. Mr. Slate is bidder
now for putting in a pumping APP.
paratus at well already sunk,
This we'll is SO feet deep. At the
bottom of it is vein Of water 25
feet deep. Water rises IN the we'll To
feet, leaving it 800 feat below the
surface.
The problem of pumping it is
difficult. A two and half inch
pipe Is used. The valve-of coUrSss
must be at the bottom Over 500,
feet Of rods,. working inside sha,
pipe are used for {ae purpose.
These rods are made Of Oregon fir
with steel connections q the end Of.
each. The fir is used, because the
water in the pipe partly floats it
and reduces the weight that would
result, were steel roas used. The
weight of a column of 500 feet OF
water on the valve at tie bottom
when pumping is in progress, is
something like 600 to 500 pounds.
Let those who tike this sort of
thing go to Eureka Fiat, Oregon

CROWDS THERE
Scarcely Room for Them-A Problem
Ahead-The Public Schools.

e
The growth of the public schools
in Corvallis the past year is the
subject Of cheerful comment. There
are now 20 per cent more pupils
than at the same time last year,
The actual attendance daily is
about ASS, The enrolment is above
46o.
The attendance is the largest in
the history Of Corvallis. A con-
tinuation of present growth will
neeessitate the providing additional
quarters next year. IL is only by
erowding and shifting and very
hard work on the part of teachers
that it is possible to get along. It
is understood that the board would
have hired another teacher sofne-
time ago if a room had been avail
able for use. But few ofthe rooms
at this time have under so. Mrs
Cramer, in the seventh grade has
an enrolment of over TO- It is
said that no teacher car do full
justice in teaching 10 above 40.
To relieve the congestion in Mrs
Cramer's S room, Principal Holmes
has taken charge of oue OF her class
es, and takes care of it for a quart
er of the day. This reduces his
time for looking .after the various
departments of the school. but he
arrangement is the best that can be
made under the circumstances of
the congested condition of affairs
The condition of the schools has
it's CHEEKY side. 1t speaks well for
the management Of the directors,
the administration Of the principal
the work OF the teachers, and the
natural growth of Corvallis.

A HANDSOME GIFT
It was One Thousand Dol1ars-Eastern
Man Gave It-Phi1omath College.

It was One Thousand Dollars-Eastern
Man Gave It-Phi1omath College.
A gift of $1,000 in cash was re.
Gently bestowed on Philomath col.
lege. The giyer, whose bounty falls
in cause most worthy, is an East
ern man, whose identity has not
been made public, The money
| is to bensed in supplying urgent
needs about the institution.
Philemath college is in a new
era of prosperity. Throughout its
history, like most of the independ-
ent institutions. it has struggled
with debt. Three or four years
ago, its arrearages aggregated about
So, 500. About that time J R Park
er became the business agent of the
institution, and with a zeal untir-
I ing and purpose undaunted, he has
devoted himself to the task of get
ting the college on firm financial
basis, entirely freed from Indebted
ness.
Mr. Parker, has been entirely
successful. At last summers
meeting of the trustees he was able
to report that the college did not
owe dollar. The last cent of debt
had been wiped out, Moreover a
considerable amount of equipment
had been added, and various inn
provements had been brought
about.
The college low is highly sue
cessful. 1t has as many students
as can be accommodated, and a
faculty of seven well trained pro-
Efessors. Enlargement of some of
the facilities has been made this
year, and next summer, with funds
now accumulating. ful ther improve
ments are to be made. The erec-
ton of new dormitory for boys
and improvement of the present
one and its complete preparation
for the accommodation of girls are
among the possibilities.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-An easier tenden-
cy developed in the speculative markets
today, the close showing fractional losses
all along the line, although there was no
material changes in the general situation.
Business was only moderately active.
Wheat closed CSC. corn 5s0%c and oats
1a@5se lower for December delivery. jan
uary provisions dropped 212@05c to 1212c.
Corn opened surprisingly steady; De
cember 14c to &c lower, at 62Ac to &c,
with light offerings, and recovered to
624sQ62$4c The out-of-town buying
movement which has done much to sus-
tain prices recently, was Of less
urgent character on the advance. and
during the afternoon December fell to
6lsAc and closed easy at 5sQ4c under yes
terday, at 134@6f7sc May was better
duced, its premium over the near de-
livery was increased by 9sc. Receipts
were 81 cars.
Wheat was bare of feature, prices fol-
lowing every movement of the corn
market. December opened 1s@Ac lower,
on easy cables and large Northwest re-
ceipts. Under the steadying influence of
the early grace in corn the market work
ed up to 72Ac, and later, still following
the coarse cereal, it declined to 717s@72c,
at which price the market closed, CSC
under yesterday. Local receipts We're 102
cars, q of contract grade. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported l. 63 cars a total
for the three points of 1855 cars. Pri-
mary receipts were [, 453, 600 bu, and sea-.
board c1earances $4,000 bu. Exporters
reported loads taken. Bradstreet's
worlds visible showed an increase OF
100000 blu.
Oats were easier, with the trade more
broken and less active than yesterday.
The corn decline and less pressure from
buyers of the cash article held prices
down. despite a moderate amount of
profit-taking by shorts and some buy
ing for the investment account Receipts
were Sl4 cars. December sold between
42s4c and 4218c, and closed 35@5sc down,
at 421Sc.
Provisions were fairly active. The
market opened easy, but advanced early
on country buying. Later the corn de-
cline weakened the support so that a
little local selling sent prices down. Pork
closed l215c lower. at $3.50; January
lard, DC down, at $9.0715, and January ribs
21k@5c lower, at $S.021z@S.05.
