Buxton, S1.7o. The cost to DR..
Charles Lee would be-eo cents.
Would it not be better for Mr.. Ing
lie to pay his o2 cents, and DR.. Lee
to pay his 90 cents and the others
their amounts toward the survey,
than to pay it and a whole lot more
for court costs and lawyers fees in
a suit tending only to delay and de-
feat mountain water?
Especially, since, if the bonds
sell, the Water Committee will pay
back the money, but the lawyers
and the courts, alas, they never
will.
Again the city of Corvallis ought
to have preliminary survey and
estimates. even though there be no
intention for the city to build and
own its own water works. Such
survey and estimate would be nee.
essary in order to negotiate for
privately owned and privately con-
Quoted water works. Until there
is such survey and estimates, it can
never be known whether or not
gravity system from Rock Creek is
feasible. If such system is not
feasible, the people of Corvallis
ought to know it. and at once give
up the idea and turn to the VILLAIN
cite Or some other system as a
source of supply. Half the town
is without fire protection, and all
of it has but poor protection. If a
survey should show the Rock
Creek plan not to befeasible, would
not such survey sbe cheap to the
people of Corvallis at $500 or $500
so that a move could be made for a
cheaper system that would give US
fire protection, sewer flushing, and
water for all parts af town? AS a
matter of fact, this survey ought to
have been made several years ago
so that during all these different
attempts at negotiation for water
works, the city council could have
known what it was doing, whether
reaching for tangible, practicable
thing, or for physical and hnan'
cial impossibilty.

IS In TROUBLE.
For Spending Another Mans Money
Officers Took Him In Tow,


Billy Burrows, well known in
Corvallis is in the hands of officers
of the law. How deeply he is in
volved or what the outcome of the
affair will be is not known here.
The spending of money that be-
longed to another is the act that
got Burrows into trouble. From
the statements of Portland papers
it appears that a sheep herder gave
Burrows a check to cash at Vale,
Eastern Oregon. Burrows did so,
and subsequently paid the herder
$40 Of the amount. How he hap
pened to keep the balance does not
appear, except that Burrows says
it was loan. At any rate he
came to Portland to be at the open
ing of the fair. arriving on Wednes-
day. He was taken In custody by
detectives Saturday morning, and
but $40 was found on his person.
The remainder of the money had
been spent during the three days
he had been in the metropolis,
showing that Billy had been going
some during his brief stay. One
story is that Billy struck a busted
o AC student in the city and gave
him $40.
The sheriff of Malheur county
came to Portland and took Bur-
rows back to Vale for settlement of
difficulties. It may of course turn
out that Burrows claim that the
transaction was in the nature of a
lean may be correct or partly so,
and criminal prosecution be avoid
ed. The fact that he paid $40 out
of the check to the sheep herder af-
ter the paper had been cashed
would indicate the transaction not
to have been a straight out theft.
Burrows home is at Burns, Ore
gon.His fatherisa physician there
and the family stands very high
in the community. The boy is ov-
ergrown in statute and more OF less
loose in morals. He is intelligent,
and if his lines fell among people
of the right sort he would probably
make useful citizen.

MIR. INGLE'S POSITION.
AS to Mountain Water Why he En-
Joined-Some Comment There
on.

Editor T1MEs:-You say in the
issue of the 3rd inst that mo man
ever bought farm without first
enquiring the price. If man
builds house, he first ascertains
from some good carpenter what
the probable cost will be. Most
people when they enter a store to
make a purchase, ask the price OF
the article before they buy it,
Now beg to say, these are not
parallel cases to the water question.
For the sake of arriving at the
truth, let us concede that they may
be. First-Then as to buying
farm. The first thing that any
business man would do. would be
to get his own consent to buy, and
then as to building house or the
purchase OF goods, you would ar
rive at the same conclusion, that
he first must get his own consent.
But let US make this still palmer;
suppose ten men were banded to.
gether to do business, and it took a
. majority to transact any business,
and they should want to purchase
farm, or build a house, would
three of them buy a right-of-way
to the farm, or order an excavation
for a building before they had laid
the matter before the ten and tax.
en- vote to see if they had a maj.
ority, so they could legally proceed!
Right here I wish to explain my
stand relative to this question.
The legislature passed law ere
ating a water commission, with a
perpetuation clause to retain all of:
fcers named by them for life, and
in case Of resignation, removal OF
death, then they, the water COM
mission, name their successor, tc
all of which there is feeling o.
dissatisfaction, and under these cir.
cumstances, I thought it might be
possible that the proposition might
be voted down, and I deemed it ar
unwise move for the city council to
create an expense of $500 for E
survey before they knew whethe1
the people would assent to such {
proposition, for should they vote
. negatively, then the city woule
have the $500 to pay, and every
mans property bejeopardized. Ivan
it distinctly understood, that I an
in favor of mountain water, ane
will vote for it, but don't want any
expense made until the evote has car
ried and this Is why Iasked for th'
injunction.
I feel sure any reasoning business
man will not fail to see the point
Yours for the best interests of th.
city and taxpayer.

The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1905-06-07

How could Mr.. Ingle get his own
consent to buy a farm until he first
learned the price? The farm might
be worth in Mr.. Ingle's opinion,
but $4,000; yet the owners price
might be $40, 900. Until he should
have ascertained the owners price,
how could he determine to buy. Mr.
Tngle contends that the people of
Corvallis, practically all of whom
want mountain water, should first
vote to build mountain water
system, and after that, find out by
survey how much the system would
cost. That is to say, if it were a
farm instead of a mountain water
system, Mr., Ingle would first have
the people vote to buy farm, and
after it had been bought, ascertain
the owners price.
Mr.. Ingle says he does not want
his property put ''in jeopardy"
His property is not Gin jeopardy" :"
It is down town where there are fire
hydrants and where in case of fire
it could be reached with water. It
is all the homes in the western.
northern and southern part of town
that are Sin jeopardy" Every
thing, say west of Sixth street.
When homes out there get ahre
they must burn to the ground with
all their contents, for they are be-
yond the reach of water. It is no.
ticeable that the property of all the
enjoiners is handy to hydrants.
But there is another sense per
haps, in which Mr.. Ing1e means to
declare that the preliminary sur
vey temporarily paid for by the
city would put his property Yin
jeopardy" namely-that it would
increase his taxes. In fact, in their
complaint, the enjoiners set out a
hint that their reason for the suit
is the vast increase of their taxes
likely to result if the city should
pay for the survey. The Times
has made some investigation along
these lines, and finds that if the
city paid the cost of the survey,
Mr.. Ingle's portion would be just
90 cents and no more. Would that
sum place his propertp in jeopar-
dy?" Another Of the enjoiners is
Mr.. Whitehorn, and his share Of
the survey expense would be $4.7o.
The cost to Mr.. Sheasgreen would
be 81 cents and to Sheasgreen 8

NOVEMBER OF SANTA FE
Was Banner Month. Barring One, in
History of Road.

The Santa FEES November state
ment showed gross earnings larger
in the cOmpany's history, with the ex-
cepticn of October. 1908. The fact
that October, 1903. was the connpany's
largest month in gross earnings goes
some distance toward explaining the
decrease of $1,O00,0 600 in gross for the
corresponding period this year, for
not only were the effects of the ante
election dullness felt but comparison
was made with the roads banner
month. For the i've months the state
ment is not such as to arouse any en-
thusiasrn, but the showing was affect
ed by temporary conditions which no
longer prevail. These conditions were
the loss of business and destruction
of property by floods and the lul in
commercial activities before election,
which was not confined to Atchison
territory but was felt by the roads
neighbors.
November returns show that the eff
fects Of the floods have passed away,
except in so far as operating expenses
bear a pro rata of the cost of damage
repairs. AS for gross earnings, these
are larger, on a per diem basis, than
those of any preceding month, as, of
course, October. 1908. which showed
a somewhat larger volume in the ag-
gregate, contained an additional day.
The floods were not an unmixed
evil, as the unusual rains produced
luxuriant fodder over large areas
where only a scant supply had ever
grown before, and the result has been
that live stock were fattened off or
have gone into the winter in good
condition. This means a great deal
for the farmer and the general COM
munity, and not the full effect of it
has yet been seen by any means.
Further effects will be felt in sue
ceeding months from a condition
which, while bringing great immedi-
ate injury last fall, left a considerable
deferred compromising benefit.

essary by the recent flood. The most
complete Washout occurred near Crozier
canyon, across which the company had
two bridges. These bridges will be elm
mated by cutting the roadbed through
wall of rock. This will put the tracks to
one side of the big wash that comes after
heavy rains in the region
Another important work that will be
undertaken after the voting of the bonds
will be the completion of the New Mexico
cut off which will do away with the long
climb over the Ration Pass and the Glori-
eta range. This portion of the road is
one of The pretty sections on the trip
east.
The cutoff was started two years ago,
but work was discontinued when the
company began reducing expenses This
cut off extends from Belen. SO miles south
of Albuquerque, east to Texico, where
connection will be made with the road
which cuts through Kansas and the pan
handle of Texas. The line from Texico
to Mulvane, Kan, will be rebuilt.
As now planned the through freight
traffic will be sent from Newton, Kan, to
Mulvane, thence south over the Pecos
Valley and to the main road at Albu-
queraue, by way of the new cut off. The
passenger traffic Will be diverted from the
present main line at Hutchinson, thus re-
heving the Colorado line of much travel.

Sloan 70 Ride for Corrigan.

Chicago. Jan. 5.-Tod Sloan, noted
international Jockey is to ride Tor Ed
Corrigan during the coming season.
Corrigan made the announcement last
evening just about the time that Sloan
arrived in the city from the Pacific
coast.
Corrigan did not state on what
terms he had closed with Sloan to
ride for his big stable of horses during
the coming year, but smiled when he
stated he thought he was as good as
ever if he really would get down to
the right sort of work. Interest in the
present deal is heightened now a lit
tie by the fact that Sloan recently won
his suit against the French Jockey
club for $4,000 damages as a result
of his having been ordered away from
one of the jockey clubs tracks.
