ALBANY Herald: Dr.. K. A. J.
Mackenzie and associates of Port
land, who recently went to San
Francisco to aid the suffering peo-
pie of that city, passed through Al
bany On their way home. DR..
Mackenzie was indignant at the
action of San Francisco physician
for introducing a resolution in
meeting of professional men asking
that the Oregon party be asked to
leave the city. as they were taking
bread out of the mouths of the pro-
fession in San Francisco. DR..
Mackenzie stated that the offending
physician was not a representative of
the profession in San Francisco.
This afternoon, a suit was filed
in the circuit court, in which the
Water Board, acting for the city
of Corvallis, brings condemnation
proceedings to make good the right
Of the people of Corvallis to pipe
Rock Greek water into this city and
use it for domestic and other pur-
poses. DR.. Farra is named as de-
fendant and it is on account of the
sawmil1 constructed on Greasy by
Snow and Sons, now owned by
DR.. Farra, that the suit is brought
The proceeding, after it gets hear
ing in court, is understood to make
it impossible for the taking of the
water by the city to be delayed by
injunctions or otherwise.
1t is expected now that the
mountain water system will be com.
pleted by June 18th. This at least
will be the case unless there be a
delay in getting pipe. With small
gang of men Engineer Miller made
1000 feet of ,trenching yesterday.
Pipe for the city mains is arriving
every few days. In all. there will
be ID miles of pipe in the city dis
tribution system, making 2S miles
in all. So far, the construction
cost is entirely within the estimate
of Engineer Miller, and it is ex
pected by Mr.. Miller that the sams
conditions will continue to prevail
and the final cost be within the sun
originally named for the work. Re
ports that the Water Board is ou
of funds are silly. Engineer Miller
says the pipe line, as shown by re
cent tests under water pressure il
the best one he has ever seen. Sew
eral of the foremen engaged on th'
work made the same statement.
