The High Water

The first high water for 1904
occurred this week when the river
reached 22 feet above low water
mark. 1t reached this point on
Monday night ard next day the
river commenced receding and
continued to fall until at the
time of going to press it had
fallen several feet. On Tuesday
the Beach hop yard across the
river was inundated as was also
a great amount of land in that
vicinity. If the river had con-
tiuued to rise for a short tim e
longer, it would have reached the
ferry, but fortunately the water
began to fall before getting up to
them.
Reports from other points sa y
they are witnessing similar
high water. In Southern Oregon
the S. P. trains were DELAYED sew
eral hours on account of a bridge
being washed out near Merlin.
The Benton County approach
to the big bridge at Albany was
under water, but the boats were
able to pass under the bridge
without trouble. The river a,

Will 1t be Dallas or Corvallis :?

The trip through Oregon of
the University of Washington's
basket ball team and the methods
they adopted in playing, has call
ed down some pretty strong cen
sure on the heads of the Seattle
boys. From all the reports
where games were played with
this team, there is only one play
er in their lineup and he depends
entirely upon his strength. This
player is big Tom Mcdonald,
who tips the scales at 198pounds.
1t was through his strength that
Seattle won four out of their FIVE
games in Oregon, and had they
been able to win from the crack
o. A. G. team, the Washington
lads could have went home as
conquerors of the leading basket
ball aggregations in Oregon.
From McDonald's football tactics
on the floor during the game here,
the newspaper reports from Dal-
las, Monmouth, Eugene and
Salem must be true. The scores
were all close and it was when
Seattle thought she was up
against defeat that Mcdonald
went into the game and carried
his team through for a victory.
We only use the above facts
to show that O. A. G. has the
best basket ball team in Oregon.
Dallas claims that honor, and
they defeated O. A. c. in a clean
well-fought game, but Seattle
comes along and wins from Dal-
las and then comes to Corvallis
and meets defeat. This leaves
the basket ball championship in
Oregon for 1904 boiled down to
a fine point with Dallas College
and o. A. c. about even for the
honors. and which the coming
game will decide. We have the
advantage of the home floor and
all we ask is that if O. A. c..
will put up as good a game as
the one with Seattle, we have no
fears of the result. Although
the last game was one of the
best played ia this city, we pre-
dict the coming game with Dal-
las will be the hardest fought
battle we have ever witnessed.

New Fire Districts.

Corvallis has been divided into
fire districts, Fourth street being
the line dividing east from west,
and Madison street north from
south.
Northeast division-2 taps.
This will be District e.
Southeast division-3 taps. .
This will be District 3.
Southwest divislon-4 taps.
This will be District 4.
Northwest divisions taps.
This will be District S.
One tap indicates that the fire
is out.
There will be no first district.
Where the four districts corner,
at Fourth and Madison streets,
the City Hall will be in the third
district and the Methodist church
in the fifth.
The advantage of this arrange
ment will be that the person who
rings the bell can locate the fire
accurately. The resolution pass
ed at the Monday night meeting
contained an unintentional error
in numbering the districts that
would necessarily lead to mistakes
being constantly made. Antici-
pating the speedy correction Of
the error at the next meeting, we
give the correct schedule above.
We congratulate the new de-
partment on their prompt action
in making this radical improve
ment in their system, and hope
they will have few occasions to
test it in the coming year.
