ANOTHER PROPOSITION.
For Cory allis Water System-Made by
Local Company-Committee
Considering.

Another proposition has been made
for supplying Corvallis with wat
er for the next rs years. It is of
fered by the Corvallis Water Com
pany. It differs but slightly from
recent propositions made by the
same corporation. 1t proposes
rates for domestic use that do not
differ materially from those now in
effect. 1t is under consideration by
the special water committee of the
council, which was expected to
hold a meeting last night. The
proposition is as follows;
"The Corvallis Water Company
proposes to furnish water to the
city, under sufficient pressures to
meet the requirements of the speci-
fcations; taking the water through
its present suction pipes in the Will
1amette river, but will, if desired by
the city, place in the river filter
made of gravel, sand and charcoal
for the purpose of a1tering water
pumped into the system.
"The company to put in sufh-
cient pipe strong enough to meet
the specifications. and large enough
to furnish the full fire supply at any
point on the system.
"The city in consideration for
such extensions to contract with
the company to use not less than
Fl fire hydrants, at or near the
locations on the map now in the
hands of police judge, at the rate
of $500 per month for each hy-
drant, for term of twenty-five
years.
"a minimum domestic rate to
be established, not materially diff.
ferent from the present rates charg-
ed by the company.
"The city to pay $500 per sea-
son for each 800 feet the full width
of any street sprinkled, for street
sprink1ing.
"The city to have water free for
city hall, and for flushing sewers
twice per week during dry season,
the city to connect the sewers
with the company's pipes, at city's
expense.
eff the city desires to purchase
the works after fifteen years from
date of the contract, it shall
be on a basis of the cost of all new
additions to plant, less one and one
half per cent per annum for de-
probation, and for old plant, the
value to be determined by arbi-
tration."

CORVALLIS BUTTER,
San EFrancisco Man Wanted Forty
Thousand Pounds, but Failed
to get it.

They pay 2oH now for butter
fat at the Corvallis creamery.
That is the figure that has pre-
vailed all spring with the excep-
tion of a few days that it stood at
IS cents. It is a most profitable
figure compared with the 10, II
and IS cents that farmers used to
get during the same season in the
years before creameries were es-
tablished
The local creamery never en-
joyed so great a business as it has
now, The two plants, that in
Corvallis and the one at Halsey,
are manufacturing from 1900 to
1900 pounds Of butter daily. The
butter product is in great demand
and every pound of it is sold to
single Portland firm, though Mr..
Kaupisch has abundant opportun-
tiles to sell it elsewhere. A man
was in town yesterday in an effort
to contract with Mr.. Kaupisch for
30, 900 pounds of his butter for the
San Francisco market. The price
offered was better than that receiv-
ed in Portland, but Mr.. Kaupisch
declined the offer.

SELLING wooL.
The Fleeces are Light-The Price is
Seventeen-But Little Sold.

Wool is quoted at II cents by
local buyers. They say that is two
cents above the figure that mark
cts abroad will justify. Valley
wool, for instance is 1o cents in
Boston, and it takes four cents per
pound to take it there, counting
freight, sacks and insurance.
= Fleeces, dealers say, are unusual
1y light this year, due to the very
iunfavorab1e, conditions of last
winter. Big yields seem confined
to very small bands that had ex-
ceptional advantages of shelter and
feed. Two such bands were those
of Jesse Porter and Jacob Whita-
ker. The feeces of the first went
Is and the other II pounds. Fleec-
es from the college averaged about
II pounds.
Only a small portion of the wool
has as yet been marketed. No
large lots have been sold. All
growers are watc hing the market
with great interest. From 25o,-
900 to 400, 900 pounds of wool is

BUILDING PERMANENT.
Gravel Hauling Soon to Begin on the
Ph1lomath Stretch-The Plan.

People are watching with con-
siderable interest, the effort of the
county court to build a piece of per-
manent road on the Philomath
route. Some object to the work.
They say it is too expensive and
that the county cannot afford it..
Others kick about the way it is be-
ing done. One didn't want the
grade rolled before the gravel was
put on. Hesaid it wouldn't do any
good, AS is usual in all such cases
some want the thing done one way
and others by some widely different
plan. Most people however look
with approval on the project.
The interest in the new road is
because no effort is to be spared to
make it permanent. It is to cost
some money. The stretch is a mile
and a half long. It begins 200
yards this side Of the Hays lane and
runs westward along the Thomas
Eoopersfarm.4 After grahing, the
stretch was thoroughly roo1ed and
packed with the county road roller.
A layer of gravel is then to be ad-
ded. and it in turn will be spread
and thoroughly rolled. After that
another coating of finer gravel,
covered in turn with layer of
finely crusned rock is, to be added
and rolled. When completed, the
thickness of gravel and crushed
rock will be nine inches and its width
eight feet. On either side the
stretch is to be thoroughly drained
the stream that makes through the
Scott place afording excellent
opportunity for the purpose.
The county court originally un-
dertook to build the road by con-
tract. Bids were asked for and
one of them was on basis of over
$4,000 for about a mile of the
stretch. The lowest bid was about
$2,3oo. Both bids were rejected,
and, after grading the road under
direction of a superintendent. the
county let the contract for gravel
ing to Cooper and Jones. who are to
supply 1,2oo loads at Is cents per
yard. It is now estimated that the
road will cost at the rate of one halt
of the lowest bid. Gravel hauling
will begin as soon as the city has
completed hauling on the streets.

A "BUNCO STE[RER"
Bryan Addresses Ohio Demo.

URBANA, Ohio, Aug. 5.-Ohio DEM
ocrats today opened the state campaign
TWO weeks in advance of the Demo-
cratic state convention. Democrats of
Champaign county had the convention
on the Urbana Chautauqua grounds
during the forenoon, and addresses
were made by w. ]. Bryan, John L.
Zimmerman, of Springfield; Mayor
johnson, of Cleveland, and former Con-
gresham LentZ, of Columbus. Bryan
referrel to Grover Cleveland; thinner
man referred to the fathers of Democ-
raey and the eternal principles of the
party. Then came Johnson and Lentz
IN emphatic declarations that this was
no time for dead issues
Johnson and Lentz were not in ac-
cord with Zimmerman, whose mana
gers had secured the Champaign coun-
ty delegates, $50 to so, before Johnson
reached the tabernacle. In Difference
to the visitors, however, no ballot was
taken.
Mr.. Bryan received applause when he
said:
The Democrats in 1892 played a
confidence game on the people and put
a 'bunco steerer' at the head of the
party. [ want to say to you that the
dlSreputable man who stands on the
street curbing and leads the unwary
traveller into a game where he loses
his money is respectable as compared
with the man who accepts the suffrage
OF 100000 people and then leads
them into Wall street to be betrayed.
Don't be deceived when. they tell
you it was the silver question that
drove people out of the party.
Those who left the Democratic par
" are divided into two classes-thOse
who left because they understood the
issue in the campaign and those who
left because they were deceived in the
issue of the campaign. Those who I'M
derstood the issue and left because
they understood it can never return to
the party until they repent and show
that their hearts and sympathies are
changed. The fight will continue in
this country until one side or the other
is triumphant"
He said that he had more respect
for Republican than for anyone call
ing himself a Democrat who would
put his principles on the auction block
or in junk shop"
In praising Ohio as political fac
tor, he said there were some Democrats
down East who thought no leader
could come from a Western state with
six congressman, like Nebraska, but an
Eastern state, with only four congress-
men, was good enough to produce
candidate.
The speech of Mayor Johnson was
not only accepted as indicating that he
was a receptive candidate for govern
or, but also that he was not a candi-
date for Senator Hanna's place. His
friends were enthusiastic in saying
that the nomination for governor would
come to him with the aggressive
canvass that is making by the Zim-
norman organization.

The New Pontiffff

The election of Cardinal Sarto may
be regarded as a defeat for the In
trausigents, chief among whom stands
Cardinal Rampolla, who has been sec
rotary ef state for many years. Many
regarded Ran1polla as the probable
successor of Leo. He has many en-
thusiastic admirers. and also many bit
ter enemies, his chief weakness lying
in the fact that he openly denounced
the triple alliance and therefore was
not acceptable to Germany, Italy or
Austria. But for his uncompremising
attitude he might have succeeded in his
ambition. The interests Of the church,
however, may be better advanced by
Sarto, who is free from all political
entanglements and liberal in his ideas.
Pope Plus x. will undoubtedly prove
an able successor to Leo XIII-Duluth
Herald.
Cardinal Sarto, who has lust been
elected pope of the Roman Catholic
church and assumed the name of Plus
x, is sixty-eight years of age, the age
of Pope Leo XIII. when he was chosen
pontiff in 1878. The new pope was a
compromise between the partisans Of
Cardinal RampolIa and those opposed
to him. At his somewhat advanced
age it is possible another pope will
have to be chosen before many years.
but it is remembered that Leo was an
aged and feeble man when he was
elected, yet he held the reins of pow
er in the church for twenty-five years

"Under, his sway the Catholic fnsti-
buttons of Venice have thriven exceed
ingly. and the cardinals piety. COM
bined with his very noteworthy COM
mon sense, has given him the reputa-
ton of being an ideal bishop This is
a hopeful and pleasant picture for
Americans to contemplate, and in no
