WHEN A REINDEER's ANGRY.

WHEN A RENDERS ANGRY.
We We're forced to wait three days
after it had stopped showing for a
crust to form, so that we could travel
again. 1t was with many misgivings
that we began the last half of the jour-
ney, since the snow was now very deep
and the danger of our sinking into
drifts was great. TO add to our gen.
eral feeling of fear the reindeer be-
haved very badly and were exceed
ingly unruly. The wind had moder.
ated somewhat, but it was still intense
ly cold.
We had Travelled half the day with.
out any serious mishap, and were be-
ginning to forget our fears at starting
out, when we sped merrily down a
mountain side, singing and helloing at
the top of our voices, and ran into
gulch and stuck there. The song
stopped in our throats, and we sprang
to our feet to sink waist deep in the
drifts that had entrapped us.
Every movement of our bodies sank

furiated reindeer, finding themselves
caught in the banked-up snow almost
to their launches, turned upon us and
would have paved us to death but for
the forethought of Oosilik, who, seeing
our danger, sprang forward and, hoist
ing the overturned pulks in his strong
arms, brought them down over our
heads and shoulders and pinned us out
of sight in the snow.
We heard the hoofs of Uncle Ben
beating of the pulk's side as he paved
up the snow in his efforts to get at us,
and if we had not held to the straps
and had not kept the pulk over us he
would have tossed it into the air with
one sweep of his horns, and would still
have had his bout with us, in which
case we should have been helpless and
completely at his mercy.
For the first time we had occasion to
see how fierce an. angry reindeer can
be. When he was convinced that he
could not reach us, Uncle Ben turned
upon Oosilik, and we heard the Eskimo
shouting and clubbing the deer as he
ran in and out of the pulks in a swift
circuit, pursued by the believing rein.
deer.
We spent an exciting half hour under
the pulks, with the hoofs of the deer
rafting like hail on the frozen boards,
and then the unusual commotlon
ceased all at once, for the reindeer had
found a lichen bed. In jify they
were paving up the snow in their
hurry to get at the succulent moss,
and we were forgotten.
Amalik and Oosilii lifted the pulks
from our heads and dug us out Of the
snow and set us on our feet. By the
time the reindeer had eaten themselves
into a passable humor Amalik and
Oosilik led them back to the pulks.
We had four hours of travelling be-
fore we came in sight of the corral
that had sent us the reindeer from
Eaton Station. AS soon as the deer
scented the well-known corral they
Quickened their strides. so that we
reached the station before it was quite
dark, and crawled from the sleds with
deep feeling of relief, glad beyond
measure to be at home after the perils
of our protracted journey.-St. Nicho-

No shade beneath the sun she sought
But water TO hrav. men she brought;
Alollie, the red-headed, freckled, brave,

Amid the cannon's rear she sought
Him, whom she loved and water brought;
But Oh. Alas how can we tell,
Beside his gun he wounded fell.
His life blood flowed N crimson hue

Fearless andfstrong With deadly aim

And called her, Captain Pitcher bold.
Her resting place is now unknown,
But still this country was her own;
Here with the brave, she fought the foe
And made them leave and homeward go.
Now Mollie- rests beneath the sod,
We trust her spirit is with God,
And when the last loud trump shall sound
May she be With the righteous found

INSURANCE RATES.

Previous to the installation OF
nlountais water the greater por-
ton of the residence district was
entirely unprotected from fire and
insurance rates on residence prop
erty was 7 to 10 per cent. The
rate on wooden buildings in the
business pa1t of the town was =
to 10 per cent. Brick and stone
buildings were rated from ST. so
to $500 per bundled. State
ments were freely made before
the bond election by the city
newspapers, and bv those inter
ested in the installation of the
proposed gravity system, that
these rates would be reduced at
least 80 TO 40 per cent. in the bus
mess part of town and so per
cent. in the residence districts.
Promises to that effect were al
SO made by insurance adjusters.
One year has passed and what are
the conditions today? Instead of
reduction of from 60 to 80 per
cent" as asserted by the Times,
the rate on residence property is
still 7 to 10 per cent, and on
wooden buildings in the business
districts is still 7 to TO per cent.
On brick buildings the insurance
rate has in a few instances been
reduced from $500 to $1.75 Iper
300, but onlywhere similar build
1ngs have recently been erected,
thus reducing the fire risk.

DALLAS WATER SYSTEM.
Results of Thorough and Per-
sonaI Investigation by
Councilman Emery,

EDITOR GAzETTE-The follow
ing statements of some facts learn
ed during recent visit to Dallas,
concerning its mountain water
gravity system will probably be
OF interest to your readers, in that
it may throw some light upon
several of the vexed problems
that confronts our citizens on the
eve of casting a vote upon our
proposed bond issue. will state
that in order to reach ali of the
citizens of our city l have hand
ed to the editor of the Times a
similar article giving the same
facts, which will no doubt appear
in its next issue.
As a citizen Of our city, and a
member of its council, having at
heart its future welfare, I feel
that all reliable facts in regard to
gravity systems are worthy OF
consideration. l particularly wish
to call attention to the difference
between the statements that have
appeared in late issues of the
Corvallis Times regardingreduced
insurance rates, etc., at Dallas
and the statements of the busi-
ness men and citizens of Dallas.
am indebted to the kindness
of Messrs. Eakin & Sibley, the
well-known and prominent law
firm and insurance men of Dallas,
for the figures and data herewith
in regard to insurance rates and
costs of right of way, etc. Other
facts are collected from merchants,
doctors, and other business men
of the city, and by interviews at
the homes of the citizens.
THE DALLAS WATER SYSTEM.
The Dallas water system con-
sists of galvanized iron pipe
line of 10 inches in diameter, 6
miles in length, which taps a
stream at its source in the noun
tains west of the city, conveying
the water to reservoir, capacity
one millions gallons, located one
mile from the city limits and at
an elevation of 100 feet. The
feed pipe from the reservoir to the
distributing system is of redwood
and IS II inches in diameter. The
distributing system consists of 8,
8 and 4 inch mains. of iron pipe.
The city has 36 fire hydrants,
and IS equipped with a complete
up-to-date= 6re apparatus that is
able to throw 3 streams of water
to a height of nearly 70 teet in
any portion of the city limits.
Before the installation of the pres
ent system the water supply of
the city was derived from wells,
and the FIRE protection consisted
of S small cisterns and hand
fire engine.
