1T IS WAR.

War is on in the Orient. The
first engagement occurred about
midnight of Sunday when the Jap.
anese torpedo boats attacked the
Russian squadron at Port Arthur.
The dispatches say that three of the
Russian battleships are badly dam
aged, and that the japanese YES
sells escaped uninjured. 1t is also
reported that the japanese have
seized number of Russian mer-
chant vessels.
In the contest that is on, there
are tremendous resources on the
one side, but they are far distant
from the scene of operations.
Against them is the dimin utive
Japanese nation, formerly barba-
rous and unlearned, but now pos
sessed Of a spirit of enlightment
and progress that is the wonder of
the age. Its resources are limited,
but they are at the Immediate
scene OF hostilities, and self preser-
vation is the deadly issue behind
them. The struggle will be watch
ed with interest by all, and with
anxiety by many.

Spiritualism is one of the lead

Corvallis homes and public places.
1t takes precedence of the Russia
japanese subject, Notwithstanding
the tense relations of those two
nations. The sea of public thought

who has been holding public seam
ces, only six months and his dem.
-onstrations in Corvallis are the first
work he has done away from Sc
attic and that vicinity. Many ad-
vocates of spiritualism believe that
Mr.. Kanouse will acquire rare pow
er to demonstrate the claims of the
sect. Mr.. Rowe processes to be
able, through his mediumship, to
secure photographs Of those who
have passed to spirit life. Neither
of these persons has the appear
ance of professional men. They
do not resemble persons who would
be judged professional fakes, nor
yet men who had acquired pro-
fessional knowledge from study and
extensive research. Their powers
they claim, are sim ply gifts.
HOLDING sEANcES.
The mediums are rooming at the
home of J. R. Maitland, just north
of the old school house. There al
so sittings were held Saturday and
Sunday evenings under the direc-
tion and mediumship OF Mr.. Kan

dozen or more persons had assem-

guides had informed him that there
would no developments. So it prov

composed of Spiritualists, both
gentlemen and ladies, and thoseswho
were predisposed in favor of the
doctrine. The other portion of the
circle was made of prominent busi-
ness and professional men who were
skeptics or nou- believers.
Preparations were made to ex-
clude any light from the room.
Chairs for the guests were arranged
to form one complete circle and
part OF second one. Participants

the medium, in positions which, it
is said, to make the most advan-

negative forces. All were seated

ne in the requirement of the plant
at its true cash value. The Dallas
charter provides that the city can
not grant franchise to a private
party for water works, but must
own its own plant, and it was on
this account that the unusual COM
tract was made. With bonds at
four per cent, the actual cost of its
water for city purposes at Dallas
would be 5000 per year. The FIRE
system is so complete that it is
but block in any part Of the town
to a fire hydrant, and even on the
back streets four hydrants can be
brought into use on burning bull
ding with but a blocks length of
hose to each. In the business part
of iown there is a fire hydrant at
every corner. and with but little
hose, dozen streams can be turned
on fire in that district at any
time. The number of hydrants in
the town is SO. The number in
Corvallis is nine. Dallas has a
population of 1900. By the last
census it had 1900. Corvallis has
between 1000 and 1880. Dallas
has 337 houses. The: water rate

predicts that large reduction will.
result from the completion of the
plant at Dallas, which town he de-
clares to have the best fire pro-
lection of any place in Oregon.
OFFERED CORVALLIS A SYSTEM.
Mr.. Gates declared in his remarks
before the councilmen, that Corval-
lis should never contract for any
thing but mountain water. About
the time Smyth was a bidder for the
Corvallis franchise, Mr.. Gates came
to Corvallis and Investigated the
matter. He visited Rock Greek
and measured it's flow. The water
there he says is sufficiently abun-
dant and of the finest quality. A.
fall of 400 feet can be secured in
12 miles. He computed the cost,
and prepared to make the city an
offer. Sol Hirsch of Portland was
to be his partner in the enterprise.
The estimate of the totalexpenses
wasthat it would not exceed s 50, 900,
and that it might fall as low as $45,-
ooo At the time, he was nego-
tiating with the Dallas people, and
was tardy in completing his arran-
gements for Corvallis. Before all
the details were finished, Mr.. Hir-
sch died, and the Corvallis matter
was dropped. IF I hadn't this
Dallas matter on hand now, would
make you people proposition to-
night" said Mr.. Gates. "It is a
proposition that will pay good in
terest on the investment There
are plenty of capitalists who will
take it up, whenever it is brought
to their notice, If you
cannot find them, I can. It is
matter in which you need not be
in hurry. If you wait you will
get your mountain water system.
