Bonds Sold.

Monday evening the bids for
the purpose of the $75,o 900 bond
issue were opened by the Corval-
lis Water Board and the best bid
was that of Morris Brothers, of
Portland. The premium offered
by these bidders amounted to
nearly 81, 500 on the entire issue.
The next best bid received was
from Denison Prior & Co., of
Cleveland, Ohio, whose bid was
81, ,372. so and accrued interest.
According to the manner in
which the bids of Morris Broth
ers, of Portland, and Denison
Prior & Co., of Cleveland, were
submitted it took some little
figuring On the part OF the COM
missioners to determine which
was the better bid, but the result
was as above stated. There
were a number of other bids re-
ceived from abroad for the entire
issue and a few local bids for
bonds in smaller denominations.
In the case of the latter it is
thought that Morris Brothers will
accommodate the home bidders
and allow them such bonds as
they may desire.

Off the Ferry Boat.

Tuesday afternoon an unusual
mishap occurred at the Corvallis
ferry across the Willamette and
the wonder is that the termina-
ton was not more serious. D.
w. Milhollen, who resides about
five miles east of this city, in
Linn county, had been to Cor
wallis for lumber and hardware
and had on his wagon 1900 feet
of lumber, four kegs of nails and
box of hardware when he start
ed down the grade to the ferry
boat.
While driving down to the
boat the brake on his wagon gave
way and allowed the load to lurch
forward onto the horses. Mr..
Milhollen attempted to hold the
load back with the horses and
then the neck yoke broke. This
was most serious, as it threw the
entire responsibility on one horse.
The team became unmanageable
and the whole business, wagon
and all tore down onto the ferry
boat which was awaiting the out
fit. The speed attained in the
flight was terrific and was such
that the wagon and its heavy load
:: was impelled clear across the
boat and the horses forced into
the river. During all this time
Mr.. Milho' len stuck to the helm
in vain endeavor to steer the out
fit in the way it should proceed
but when the horses plunged int
! the Willamette on the outer ent
of the boat he jumped and luck
lily landed on the ferry all right.
! The horses were just able t.
! keep their heads above water By
