Mountain Water Supply.

For the first time, Friday, the water
was turned into the big pipe that is to
supply Corvallis with cold and pure
mountain water, and throughout the
day the water flowing through the
pipe poured into the Willamette river.
AS soon as the circulating system is
completed, the water will be turned
into the city mains and Corvallis will
then be supplied with the best water
obtainable. The big supply pipe is Of
wood and stood the pressure admirably
and the citizens Of that place are
proud Of their new water supply.

Farm Yard Distilleries.

According to International Revenue
Commissioner Yerkes, the regulations
of his department are not going to
crowd out small denatured alcohol
plants, as many feared they would
when they were first, announced.
In proof of his allegation he says
that undeE1 the present law there are
absolutely no limitations as to the
size of a distillery. There are over
1000 distilleries in operation now sat
each of,which the daily spirit-produc-
ing capacity is less than 80 gallons.
Many of these were set up on an out
lay of less than 5000. So far as the
internal revenue laws are concerned, he
says, the smallest and crudest distil-
lery can produce alcohol, if as a busi-
ness proposition it is deemed advis-
able to do so. The small distilleries
have always been treated by his de-
parJment, he asserts, with the same
consideration as the larger ones.
When the bill relieving from revenue
taxes all alcohol for Industrial use,
made unfit to drink by the admixture
of unpleasant materials, was pending
in congress, it was said for it that it
would enable anybody to make alco-
hol, and that farmer could put up
plant in his back yard to turn the
products of his farm into alcohol for
the market. When the proposed regu-
lations of the internal revenue depart
ment were announced it was said that
they would practically shut out all
small operations and throw the whole
manufacture OF denatured alcohol into
the hands of the distillery trust. "
Mr.. Yerkes disputes these alarming
statements. he said that if a farmer
or any other person wants to go into
the denatured alcohol business, with a
plant however small, he will simply
be required to construct his plant in
the manner prescribed by the general
laws and regulations. He will be re-
quired to give bond, the effect OF
which is to prevent him from defraud-
ing the government of the tax on any
distilled spirits produced by him. He
will be required to establish a distil-
lery warehouse, to deposit the spirits
produced by him in this warehouse, to
establish denaturings bonded ware.

just as he may wish, the alcohol he

produces. All of this must be done
under governmental supervision, but
the government pays for this super
vision. The manufacturer does not
bear cent of it,
"There is no objection to a farmer
manufacturing his alcohol in his back
yard" adds Mr.. Yerkes, provided
he wants to establish distillery
there.''
Since the government must make
sure that no alcohol is put out for
consumption free from tax that is not
denatured some such regulations as
these are necessary, and since the gov
eminent pays the cost they do not
look burdensome.

A Nebraskan of Prominence Admires the
Great Railway Builder.
j. J. McCafferty, a prominent re-
form leader of O'Neill, Nebraska,
pays the following tribute to James J.
Hill:
flames J. Hill is one of the great
est personalities in this nation, or who
ever was in it, and his individuality
is irrevocably stamped on the ter
ritory through which his splendid
system of railroads vibrate. He main
tains and operates many experimental
farms and furnishes new American
grown and ornamental seeds for test
trials, and imports hundreds of the
best blooded horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs, and annually distributes them
free of charge to the benefciaries
along the great arteries of traffic in
Hills northwest. ga. -
st am not hero worshipper, nor
can it even be said that I am even over
friendly inclined to the great captains
of industry who have exploited the
nation, throttled and stamped out
individual effort, organized vast sys-
TENS of commercial industry, capital
lied the wind and water and sold the
product to the unsuspecting public.
But j. j. Hill is an exception in whose
presence impulse and honor compel me
to lift my hat. Only think of man
doing in forty years what he has done.
SAT that time he went into an I'M
settled prairie wilderness, now BIOS
soming like the rose and flower gar
den, and at the present time he owns
and controls $4,000 miles of tracks,
most of which he either built or created

mountain which has turned out to be
stupendous mass of iron ore and

Commodore Vanderbilt, Marshall
Field and Teddy Roosevelt all rolled
into one with the philosophy, con-
structive genius, business tact and
strenuosity of all four combined. En-
