WOULD REMOVE HYDRANrs.
And Leave Corvallis Without Fire
Protection-Water Company
Serves Notice.

The local Water Company has
served notice On the city council
that it is the purpose on the Ist
of February to remove all FIRE by
,drants from the water mains and
leave Corvallis without fire pro-
lection. The notice has been in the
hands Of the police judge for sew
eral days, and all the couneilmen
are aware of its contents. It was
presented to the police judge short
ly after the regular January meet
ing OF the council. In full, it is as
follows:
Corvallis. Ore, Jan. IS, 1904.
To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Council of the City of. Corvallis:
Gentlemen, the Corvallis Water
Co. has at different times made sew
eral>what we consider very liberal
propositions to furnish water for
FIRE and sewer. purposes for the city
but with but little consideration
from the council If the council
has any desire to take action on the
last proposition. the offer will stand
open until Feb. I, 1904. If there
is no action taken by this date the
Company will take it tor granseu
the City has no desire to use the
water for fire purposes longer and
:, will proceed to remove all hydrants
and to cut the connections of all
the cisterns. =
We are ready to consider any
proposition from the city.

WHY THEY DISAGREE.

The occasion for the differenc e
between the council and the Wat
er Company. is on account OF act
ion by the city council with respect
to the allowance for water for fire
protection and the failure of the
two parties in negotiations looking
to a renewal of the franchise OF the
Water Company. Several offers
for a renewal of contract have been
made the council by the Water
Company. but all have been based
on a contract for a term of years,
and of Willamette river water as
the source of supply. A strong
sentiment among the people has
been manifest for mountain water,
and on this account the council has
preferred not to make a contract
for term of years for Willamette
river water. On the other hand,
all the offers OF the local Water
Company, have been promised on q
long term of years, the sshortes'
term proposed being ten years
None of these offers have been con
sidered favorably by the council
and each has been permitted to 81
over without action, On severa
occasions committees have been ap
pointed to negotiate with the com

COULD BE ENJoINED.

Of course. should the Water
Company remove the ,hydrants, as
threatened in the above notice, the
city would be left wholly without
fire protection, and a feeling of in
security, together with an advance
in insurance rates would likely re-
suit. It is understood, however,
that the councilmen are not dispos-
ed to take the matter seriously It is
the belief of most of them that the
Water Company dare not under
take the removal of the hydrants.
They hold that an injunction to
restrain such action could be
brought, and that it could be SO
maintained in court as to prevent
removal of the fire plugs. They
say that when the city first gave
to Pitman and then to his success
or, the Corvallis Water Company
the right to lay water mains in the
public streets, a privilege was con-
ferred that set up on the part OF
Pitman and the Corvallis Water
Company an obligation to do some
thing for the city, This obliga-
ton they maintain. is the duty to
supply water at all times at reason
able rates to the city for fire pro-
lection. In short, it is their be-
lief that the Water Company is
not wholly master of the situation.
and that it owes duties to the city
that it cannot shirk or avoid. These
duties are 10 afford fire protection
at reasona Bile rates, and any refusal
to do so, it is claimed would result
in complete forfeiture of the right
to use the streets for water pipes
and that the city, in the event of an
attempt by the Water Company te
remove the fire plugs would be II
position to require the company t
also remove all water mains. II
brief, it is claimed that the city
in the event of a struggle will hole
the top hand, and that the Water
Company will stand a good show tt
be put out of business altogether
Whether all this is true or not, /:
a question that only lawyers ant
courts can determine. tits under
stood that more than one lawyel
has given a curb stone opinion t!
, the effect that the Water Company
is not in position to remove the FIR
hydrants, and that any attempt il
that direction can be restrained BY
the courts.

More or less distrust OF the match seems
to have got abroad because Of the pub

meet the champion. The fact that he Is
10 receive $500, win lose or draw, has
created an impression that there will be
no extra effort on his part TO pull down
the hOnors OF the evening. There Is no
reason for this belief, The terms were
made to sullivan because they covered
the same amount which he was offered
from two other managers for shorter
fights In the east. For one fight he was
Ia get 1000 and for another 1880, Far
seeing James Coffroth knew this and Of
fered him chance at the championship
for the same money. Being young man
who salts down every dollar that he
makes In the ring, Sullivan grasped II
eagerly, since II offered him the opportun-
fly TO place himself position to make
considerable more should he win, lie Is
known as a hard. fast fighter and those
who witness the contest need have no

CLIFFORD AND O'KEEFE.
Speculation as to the out
come of Their Contest

There is a great deal Of interest among
local ring devotees In the contest between
Jack clifford and Jack OKeefe, which
will take place at the Grand theater on
March lone week from Friday night.
The former has always been very popular
with Salt Lake fight fans, and he will
have many admirers at the ringsiie.
Jack claims that he has improved to the
extent Of being able to hold his own with
O'Keefe or any other man his weight In
the country Whether Jack Is mistaken or
not remains to be seen when the pair
come together In the squared circle. o.
Ketfe Is undoubtedly a pretty tough
youngster otcrwise he could not have
secured decision over and later draw

O'Keefe has about completed his train
ing In Chicago, The reason he trained
there Is that his manager had to attend
TO some business matters Of importance
and could, not get away. Anotehr reason
Is that O'Keefe could train there at about
0ne-thlrd the expense 1t would entail
should he train here. clifford is still peg
