A REVOLT IN wAsH1Narea,
Not in Politics But Against EztoE
 tionate Tradesmen.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 The housewives of Washington are tn the throes Of revolt against pernictoya system which obtains pretty Reneraii throughout the United states anaonE the buffers. stewards, cooks and others who are charged with the duty of slpplyin9 the tables in rich families. The real movement is being carried qa hy the ,iss. ks: up by the women of the city, This CT. ganization was formed fer the nprpese of ahoIishinE the custom of tradespsa giving a srake-of'' or percentage to but lsrs and stewards ia erder to Gst the cus' tom of rich families. The dealers them- selves are out against this practice, Tor the natural inference Is that they havs to rob the customer In order te pay the cook or whoever does the buying.
 1t would be surprising to many to knew the extent of the bidding that goes on among dealers tor the trade of rich fam. ilies. The influx of many wealthy peopls who have recently built homes tn wash ington has added considerably to the GUS. tom of late, until now 1t is recoEnizea part of the business among dealers, Pul the housewives and the dealers, both oi whom suffer by 1t, are doing then. bes, to break up the practice. It IS stated that when the announcerient was made the other day that Mrs. cornelius Vanderbllt would spend the winter In WashinGton, five of the prominent dealers of the city boarded trains and started for New fork to effect a deal with the family butler.

SOUTHERN GRAIN CROPS.
Their Value About the Same as the
 Average Cotton Crops.

Inelr value About the Same as the Average Cotton Crops. The Southern Farm Magazine of Balti- more has compiled from official reports of the government the statistics of grain crops of the South in 1902. The total val ues are as follows:
 Bushels. Value. Corn .. .5o2. 4S7,6g9 $276.553. s94 wheat ,,..,.-,.. 4S,812,121 3s,Q6e, 619 Rye ... .. .... ......... 1,352,S92 975,5l4 oats .... ......... 56, lIS.bI2 26,252, 265
 In addition to grain. the South raised A, 7875S5 bushels of Irish potatoes. valued at Sl4,11616 169; 3,905. 423 tons of hay, valued at $46. 734, FOG and 630, 25S,7s7 pounds of to- bacco. valued at $63.S43,02 The total for these three items, added to the total for grain. makes s4G6, ,5l5.192, or approximately about one-half of the total value of tho agricultural products of the South. In this report no mention is made of the cotton crop, of sweet potatoes-the yield of which in the South is much larger than the yield of Irish potatoes--of sugar, rice and fruit crops.
 These figures show that the grain crop of the South-corn. wheat. oats and rye is about the same in value as an average cotton crop, but the growth of liversi- fed farming in the South promises with in few years to make the value of these nrops much larger than that of cotton.

STRUCK WATER.
And Lots of it-An Ample Supply now
for College Buildings.

Apparently. the vexed question
Of water supply for the various
buildings at the college is solved.
The supply ran SO short last spring
that several weeks before the col
lege closed the use of water in the
toilets and elsewhere about the
buildings had to be stopped. AS a
result of the condition, the building
committee of the board was au-
thorized to take steps to secure a
better supply. and couple of weeks
ago began boring for water. The
operations were conducted by Mr..
Weitman. who resides two or three
miles across the river in Linn. Last
Thursday. at depth of I16 feet,
he struck a flow of water that prom
ises to supply all the water requir-
ed about the college buildings. The
flow of the subterranean stream is
so strong that the water rises IN the
pipe to within 20 feet of the sur
face. For three days after it was
struck, the big traction engine at
the college pumped constantly at
the well without exhausting or in
any way perceptibly diminishing
the supply. The pumping contin
ued for 10 hours per day, and the
amount of water taken away was
over 500 gallons per hour. The
water is cold and pure. Three other
two inch pipes are to be sunk at
the same spot, and if the flow from
each is as satisfactory, there will
be plenty of water in the buildings
at the college at all times hereafter.
Four wells of the same character
4 will give supply of 1000 gallons
per hour, which the big 90, ooo
| gallon reservoir can be filed in ten
hours. This supply will be in adj
dition to the big well near the pow
j er house. which has been the sole
source of supply in the past. Ths
4 new wells are. located near the
steam heating plant. where the
| pumping station will hereafter b.
located. &

Bond Sale by Corvallis School
Board Questioned-A
Lucky Boy at Phi
lomath.

Sal.m, Or. Sept. 6.-While the
Corvallis School District is saving
81, 300 by violating the school law,
as stated in the news dispatches
Saturday, the state school fund ill
lose five times that amount, or IS,
500. An act of the last legislature
requires all school districts before
issuing bonds, to give the S ate
Land Board notice of the issue and
give the board the opportunity to
purchase the bonds at par value,
the bonds drawing per cent in
terest. The purpose of the act was
to provide means of investing a
part Of the surplus money lying
idle in the school fund.
The act does not require any
school district to borrow money,
but requires that if district does
borrow il must give the state the
first opportunity to do the lending,
The interest on all loans ia annual
ly distributed among the schools of
the state on a per capita basis.
The Corvallis school district, ac-
cording to the dispatch, made
bend issue of $1,000 and did not Offer
the bonds to the State Land Board
at 5 per cent interest, as require d
by law, bp. sold tnem to private
investors at q per cent interest.
thereby saving, during the term OF
the bonds, about $I3 o. The dis
trict, therefore, will pay to the pri-
vate capitalists about $500 in in
terest, while it would have paid the
state $4,000.
The act passed by thei1ast Legisla-
ture after providing the manner in
which the bonds shall be offered to
the State Land BARD, provides that
it shall be mandatory upon all off
GERS 10 charge OF school districts for
bond or warrant sales to first offer
the proposed issue of bonds or war
rants to the State. Land Board and
any wiLful failure to comply there
with shall be deemed a misdemean-
or, punishable by fine of not less
than $40 or more than $1oo, and
the District Attorney of the judi
cial district for the proper county
must prosecute such offending of
officers upon the request Of the
State Land Board"
Since the offering of the bonds to
the State Land Board is mandatory
there is a possibility that the bond
issue is illegal.
