a good number of Maine men are
finding out that the Swale ut the side
Of the road and the sleepy brook down
in the pasture have more uses than
that of raising an early crop of fat
'nosquitoes. The faith is gaining that
there are both profit and pleasure in
raising ones own trout, and eating
them, and being the better for the eat
ing. Some little outlay of money and
Ltbor is required. but by beginning on

HIS FUNERAL.
Neighbors Came From Far and Wide
to Bury Clyde Tharp-The
Accident.

The funeral of the late Clyde
Tharp, who was killed in a runa-
way accident Friday, occurred at
Bellefountain Saturday afternoon.
The service was under the auspices
of the Grange, of which the deceas-
ed was member. The attendance
included everybody in the neigh
borhood as well as relatives and
friends of the family from Corvallis
and elsewhere, and was very large.
Addresses in harmony with the oc-
casion were made by Rev M. M.
Waltz, Ed Belknap and Mrs. Ed
Belknap. Mrs. Belknap was a for
mer teacher of the dead young man,
and her tribute to his life and mem-
ory was tervent and eloquent. The
members of the family were pros
trated by the trsgedy. The mother
tainted at the grave, and was not
restored to consciousness until nine
O'Clock in the evening, six hours
afterward.
Later accounts of the accident
differ but little from that given in
Saturdays Times. With others,
Clyde Tharp was hauling gravel on
the roads, and with his wagon
heavily loaded was passing down
the hill at the Perm Starr place.
Marks on it seem to indicate that
the brake block slipped to the side
of the wheel instead of pressing
it from the front. The wagon
rushed on to the horses, and the
driver was unable to hold them.
After passing over a bench in the
hill the outfit went out of the view
of those who watched from above.
A few moments later the horses,
detached from the wagon and rum
ming at full speed, appeared below.
At the bottom of the hill the wreck
of the wagon, and the young man,
frightfully injured, were found.
The victim was still breathing, but
lite lasted only few minutes: He
was lying On his back, and across
his breast was one of the boards of
his gravel bed, and on the board
and the PROSTATE form of the man
heavy weight of gravel. Blood
was gushing, the flow of which was
only staunched by death.
The young man bore high rep
utation in the community. He was
the only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Al
Tharp, and was rs years of age.

TO SELL BONDS.
And Cali for Bids for Materia1-The
New Mountain Water Survey.

At meeting Monday night, the
water board took action for the
floating of SIS, 900 in water bonds,
ordered the issuance of an adver-
tisement for bids for material to
be used in constructing the plant,
heard the report of Engineer Mil
Ter with reference to the new sur
vey, and discussed various phases
of the situation. 1t is figured that
80 days will be required in getting
bids for the bonds. 1t is desired
that information as to the issue shall
be placed before Eastern investors
to the end that the best possible
bonds may be secured. The inter-
est rate has been fixed at four per
cent. Some favored slightly
higher rate, but some sales of sim
liar bonds as published in a late
copy of banking paper indicated
the sale of many securities On a four
per cent basis, and it seemed un-
wise to propose higher rate under
the circumstances. The date on
which the bids will be opened has
not been set.
The report of Engineer Miller on
the new survey shows a working
margin Of about S., 900 between es-
timated cost of the works and the
limit of money provided for in the
the bond issue. It will not be as
large margin as is desirable, con-
sidering the possibility of litigation,
but the board has determined to
take the chances, at least to the
extent of selling bonds and call
ing for bids for material. The new
survey taps Rock Creek 600 feet
above the point where the Peak
trail crosses the streem. 1t passes

former estimate requiring 1900

ter proved fatal and death was sud-
den. Tie maiden name of the de-
ceased was Mary Jones, and at the
time of her death her age w2s in

BURNED TO ASHES.
Corvallis Dwelling House-BiIy In
vestigator Recalled.

The Emil Liebe dwelling house,
better known to the public as the
Berlin house on College Hill was
burned to the ground In the early
hours of Saturday morning. The
blaze was discovered shortly before
three O'Clock by Prof. Crawford
who lives a block to the East
ward. He happened to be astir at
the time, and the light attracted
his attention. The Denman house
stood between him and the burning
building, but from the latter huge
column of fame shown tar above
the Denman roof. He turned in
the alarm with his Independent
phone and within scarcely minute
from the time he saw the blaze the
fire bell was ringing. There is,
however, no fire protection in the
neighborhood, and the fremen
could do nothing tc arrest the
flames. The two chemicals were
run out to the scene for use
in saving other buildings if neces-
sary, but there was no wind, and
accordingly but little danger of 9TH
er fires. A large crowd of people
congregated on the grounds and
watched the structure through the
process of being reduced to ashes,
Most of those who remarked on the
subject agreed that it would be a
fortunate day for large portion of
Corvallis from the standpoint of fire
protection alone when the new wat
er system shall have been installed.
1t looked hard to stand by and see
building burn. with not drop of
water to turn on it, or on other
property in the neighborhood that
might have been lighted by the
flying sparks. The occasion called
to the minds of many the curious
mission of the late little Billie In
vestigator.
AS stated, the fire must have been
started about 2:3o O'Clock in the
morning, an unseemly hour, The
house was not occupied, which fact
obviously reduces the danger of
fire to the minimum. It all looks
dangerously like incendiary, and
yet, perish the thought, and let US
all live in the belief that there is
no one within our gates who would
wantomly apply midnight torch
to the property of a fellow being.
No one is able to say whether or
not the property was insured. The
building is estimated to have been
worth $1,000.
