WATER SYSTEM.
Air Full of Rumor and Mystery

The discussion continues with
regard to what the old Water
Company, of Corvallis is about to
do. That some sort of deal is
under way is admitted by those
in authority, but just the ma
ture of the matter is un-
known to the public. 1t is
known however, that the old
company has sought to make a
deal with the city to purchase
the old plant for $40, 900 with the
delivery to be made in June, or
for IS, 900 with the delivery in
August. This proposition was pre-
sented to the Water Commission
by w. E. Yates, of Vancouver,
Wash, and J. R. Wyatt, OF
Albany, at a meeting held in
this city Monday night.
1t is stated that the city does
not wish to invest anything at all
in the old company, as the ad-
vice of the engineer in charge of
of the new system is against it..
Because of the much greater pres
sure that the new system will
provide it is said that the old
pipes would be of no use, and
that a new pumping station could
be established for ST., 900 that
would be as good or better than
the old.
Another rumor on the streets
is that orders have been issued by
tnel old company to the men
in the company's employ,
to be in readiness to place the
pumps on board the cars by the
18th, if so ordered. This is con-
s,rued as an intimation that the
water supply is likely to be shut
off on the 18th, thus leaving Cor
wallis with no water and entirely
without fire protection.
Still another statement is that
the new Water Commission is
threatened with law suits for in
terfering with the Rock Creek
which furnishes powt r
for the Jerry Henkle mill near
Philomath, for the Farra electric
light plant at Philomath, and
also with the rights OF August
Fischer at Mary's river. At the
meeting Monday night commu-
nication from Mr.. Fischer was
read, asking what remuneration
the city intended to make for the
damage done him through the
decrease of power in his mill
race, owing to the water taken by
the city from Rock Greek.
No water rent has been collect
ed by the old water company for
the past month, and it is stated
that when a tender has been made
OF the rent Oy the consumers,
the money has not been accepted.
That the old plant has been
sold to parties in Washington,
and that git is to be torn up
aud shipped away, is story
that by some is credited, but
which has not yet been verified,
rumors of a sale to
parties outside the state have
been persistently floated. Just
what these things indicate is a
matter Of conjecture, and for that
reason many head is puzzled in
Corvallis just now trying to fig
ure out what is going to ''turn

TRUST UNDER FIRE
United states Attorney Desires 10
Know why san Francisco
Prices Are HiEher.>


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Limited States
District Attorney Robert Devlin has begun
an investigation Of the alleged combination
Of lumber dealers and II he finds that the
facts warrant prosecution will take action.
The local grand jury recently began an
inquiry into the methods by which lumber
rates were raised Much data and con-
siderable evidence had been gathered when
II was learned that such affairs were be-
yond the authority of the body.
In a letter to the foreman OF tho grand
jury the United States attorney has asked
for any information or evidence secured
during the investigation
The situation is of serious import to the
lumber dealers. They are accused OF show
ing discrimination to certain contractors
and other large consumers and with
violation Of trade statutes in various other
ways.
Since the fire the prices of lumber have
advanced on an. average Of 50 per 1000 feet
and 1t is rumored that another increase Of
81 and 81 has been in contemplation.
PORTLAND. Ore, Aug. 1.-Authorities on
the lumber situation in Portland and vicin-
fly unite in protesting that there is nothing
like trust or combine In that locality and
declare that merger would be an i'm
possibility owing to the many saw mills.
All the mills here are working indendently
and are using a price list of their own, al
though a guiding price list Is supplied to
members Of the Oregon Lumber Manufac-
turers association.
AS to conditions in San Francisco, moth
is know locally than that San Francisco
buyers have been in Portland for the past
six weeks and that there is a famine OF
lumber cars and shipping is handicapped.
