Andrew Carnegie, the Steele King, has recently sent $6O,OOO worth of United States Steel company first mortgage bonds to the Tuskegle Institute. Ac- companylng the gift was letter in which he says,"I make this gift with but one provision, which is that out of it there shall always be retained enough to leave Booker T. Washington and his wife free from want, as 1 wish that great and good man always to be free from the pe- cuniary care" In speaking of Washington he said: "He is a modern Moses leading his peo- pie to the promised land, but one filled with something more precious than milk and honey. History is full of the two Wash ingtons, the father of their peo- pie, the one white the other black" This letter may bejustly termed Carnegie's masterpiece, and together with the gift will add still more luster to the name that is engraved over the lintels of many libraries in America Phoenix Saturday Review.
 New York, May18.-The police were called out today to quell a riot at Broadway and sixty eight street where several women evidently had been intimid dating the men at work on the subway. Stones were thrown indiscriminately and the women flashed huge stillettos. Four of the women were arrested. Two of them had stillettos, one of which was two feet long.

WITH LOCAL COMPANY,
Councilmen Voted Contract for Street
Lighting for Term of ten Years.

| The city council has passed an or
dinance making contract with the
Corvallis Electric Light and Power
Company for street lighting for {
period of 10 years. The action was
taken at an adjourned session of the
council Tuesday night. The rates
are $72 per year for arc lights and
s17 for incandescents
Two contracts, formally drawn
up, were presented for consideration
One embodied the offer of B. F.
Jones with arcs at SIS and incan-
descents at $3.50 per year. 1t was
reported to the council by special
committee consisting of Council
menColbert, Henk1e and Porter, and
was submitted without recommen-
dation. While it was pending a
contract embodying the offer of the
Electric Light Company with arcs
at $72 per year and incandescents
at SIT per year was presented Mr..
Jones was present at the meeting.
and when the new offer of the local
light company was made known.
he asked permission to submit an
other bid. The councilmen took
the ground b owever that to permit
Mr.. Jones to revise his figures
would. be irregular and contrary to
custom, and adopted the ordinance
making the contract with the local
company. The vote on the ordi-
nance was: ayes, Rose, Porter,
Cameron, Crees, Taylor, Hodes,
Henkle, and Colbert; absent, Avery.
The statement is made that, after
inducing the local light company to
make second bid, some of the
councilmen had agreed that no
other bids would be considered and
that this is why the request of Mr.,
Jones to be allowed to offer a sec
ond bid was refused.

sAwLoGs ADRIFr.
A Large Boom Breaks Away From
Corvallis Sawmill Company.

About noon Thursday raft of
logs which had been tied near Jeff
erson stteet during the fall, and
which was owned by the Corvallis
mill company broke its fastenings
and went down the river. The cur
rent of the rising willamette proved
too strong for the fastenings and the
cable with which the raft was Sc.
cured parted. The boom logs or
brazil, enclosing the raft. however,
held together, and as the mass of
timber moved down the stream it
barely missed the county ferry boat
moored on the west bank a short
distance below. Parties seeing the
logs move away telephoned the fact
to the sawmill company, but before
anything could be done to stop the
logs they had passed a considerable
distance down the river. About
half way to Albany the raft struck
stump, and the brazil parted. Then
the logs separated and are now
lodged along the stream as far down
as Buena Vista Six or seven men
with three boats went to that point
Thursday afternoon and began lin.
ing up the logs as they arrived.
Those that have lodged above will
be driven to the big eddy near
Buena Vista and later they will be
sold to some of the sawmil1s below.
From SO to 200 logs broke away
from Corvallis but will be probably
only small loss in one respect as
the logs will sell below for more
than they cost the mill company.
The most serious loss will be the
profits on the lumber which the
logs would have made. As con-
sequence of the misfortune the mill
will be compelled to shut down in
short time and this will occasion
considerable loss of Corvallis labor.

WIND BLEW HARD.

\ The fercest windstorm in many

ing. The wind was the heaviest
of record since the establishment of
the weather Office at the college
dozen or more years ago. For
twenty minutes between three and
four O'Clock its velocity was 60
miles per hour. The average vel
ocity between the hours named was
4I miles. The wind came in
fierce gusts that roared ominously.
and its force shook residences in
all parts of town, sometimes to such
extent that the inmates were more
or less frightened. In one family
all the members arose and dressed
themselves and waited for a lull
in the storm or daylight. At the
house of John Allen the family oc-
cupied south room, and the big
pane of glass in the window blew
out with crash. The wind swept
into the room with great force,
tearing pictures from the walls,
blowing covers from the bed and
raising an unlimited variety of
Cain. There was no way to stop
the great hole in the window and
the occupants of the room were
forced to desert it for another cham
Der, In many instances, the
slight swaying of the house by the
wind caused vases and dishes to
rattle and the rattle OF windows and
other noises incident to a, storm of
the character caused the timid to
wish for the morning or for the
unusual zephyr to wait more gent
ly and summerlike.
Of damage, nothing of serious
character is reported, Two Chin
neys out in the vicinity of the col
lege went down under the force of
the storm. One was on the house
of Physical Director Trine, and the
other was part of one on the Col
lege Armory. Five big window
panes were blown out of the Arm
ory, Administration and Agricu1-
tural buildings at the College, an
other was smashed in the city hall,
and still another went out of the
front in the Laferty store. The
big temporary shed at the lumber
yard went down into wreck, and
small shed at Prof. McKe1lips
house collapsed. The top was
blown from !. the big water tow
er at the college.
Among other misfortunes and in-
conveniences waited our way
by the breeze was the wreck of
Dick Kiger's wind mill, and one of
his large pear trees which fell dan
gerously near one of his houses; a
skylight blown off the Farmers
Hotel, and one would have blown
off Smalls icecream par1ors had not

storm. P, J. Schmidt and family

Portable, in their residence arter a

It is predicted that not only will such

to kill off the further mention of the

Break Down Turntable.

Early last Wednesday morning, while
one of the big 900 Vanderbilt tank en-
gines was being turned on the table, at
the roundhonse. the table gave way to
such an extent that the engine could
not be gotten off, AS the accident tied
up not only the engine on the table,
but all other engines in the house,
track had to he hastily constructed from
the coal chute siding. The accident
left the company in bad shape for mo-
tive power for several hours.
The table has repeatedly broken down
through the enormous weight of these
big engines but never before has it
been rendered SO completely useless as
i'll this case.
The acci lent will no doubt hasten
the putting in of new table and pos
sibly the new roundhouse, as the old
one is almost ready to fall down.
Foreman Leonard and his Jap gang
were busy for several days constructing
temporary tracks so the engines could
be gotten ready for service on the road.

DEATH OF MIR. SP0RI.
Well Known Citizen Succumbs to
BrightS Disease after
Long Illness.

Last Monday morning the many
friends of jacob Sport were shocked
to hear that he had passed over the
"great divide" during the night be-
lore. M. Sport had suffered for
months with Brights diseas and this
was the cause of his death. Until
day or two before his final illness
he was able to move about in his
usual avocations.
The deceased was born in Ger
many 56 years ago. Before COM
ing to this country he had received
a splendid college education, and
upon arriving here he took up the
profession Of teaching. At odd
times he has followed prospecting,
being well versed in geology and
mInerology. He was interested in
many promising mining claims IN
this vicinity upon which he has
spent much time and money dnring
recent years.
Mr.. Spori was of kindly dis.
position, and held in high esteem
by all who knew him.
He leaves four children to mourn
his death, his wife having preceded
him to the great beyond some years
ago.
The funeral took place from the
J.. D. S. meeting house Monday.
The remains were shlpp d to Rex
burg Tuesday fol interment.

Should we Change our Game Laws.

To the people of Bear Lake County:
Can we have our Fish and Game laws
changed for the better protection of
fish and game and more satisfactory TO
the sportsmenY | suggest the following
changes:
First That the open season for
catching fish be from the first day of
June to the fret day of November of
each year, and that the people that
take water from the streams for the
purpose Of irrigation. be compelled to
put screens in at the head Of their
bitches, to prevent the fish from going
o1t into such bitches. to die and be de-
stroyed.
Second That the open eason for
killing sage hens be from the first day
of August to the first dap of December
Of each year.
Third: That the open season for the
killing of ducks and geese be from the
first day of september to the first day
of February of each year.
NY reasons for asking these changes
are, the sage hens are too small to kill
on he,-,fifteenth of July,
The 18th of September is too late for
ducks and geese in the southeastern
part of the state. On account of cold
weather great many of these birds
leave for warmer climates about the
time the season opens.
would like to hear from any of the
people of the county on this subject
with their suggestions.
Respectfully,

Deputy Game Warden.

Salt Lake Drying Up.

The level of Great Salt Lake is said
to have fallen nearlH three feet during
the past summer, 1t now stands at a
point that is several feet lower than it
has ever been known to be before. The
water has fallen so rapidly in the past
three months that the new gauge es-
tablished early in the spring, which, it
was thought would DO serviceable for
years, has been left high and dry. A
new gauge had to be established yestep-
day that the readings might be taken
at all,
Such remarkable fall of the water
is unprecedented and tits held as prov
ing the theory of those who contend
that the lake is drying up and will
disappear within comparatively few
years.
