the quiet village of Toledo for the j

i at the residence of Commodore Lu
cas at 7:30 p. m. Here a tempo
rary camp was struck and all hands
Were soon busy in the routine of
camp life. Soon a splendid supper
was prepared which all seemed to
enjoy, especially Al. Waugh.
When the hour of bedtime arrived
it v.&i apparent that there was 100m
i;i the tent for but a part of ti e
pu ty, so it was arranged that the
kv'.ies have the tent and that the
men should sleep hard by under the
hack, but some of the ladies object
ed to thii arrangement upon the
ground that a bear might attack
the unprotected women and chiU
reu, so it was finally arranged that
the Judge should sleep at the door
of the tent, and that Jones and
Waugh should should take to the
woods. We don't know just how
things were located in that tent,
but it nccms that Judge Ihtrt did
not have any too much cover, for
along about 1 o'clock in the morn
ing the Judge got up mid built a
fire and was quietly chewing his
favorite brand of "saw-log," the
exertions of Waugh and Jones, who
were trying to keep under the hack
on the hillside above the camp,
knocked the brake loose on the
hack and it went thundering down
toward the camp. The noise awak
ened Lucas' dog and he went roar
ing after the hack. The first thing
that got out of the tent was Jones'
boy, Francis,. and the first thing lie
sa w was the Judge running stooped
over to avoid collision with the
brush and the same time dodge
the hack; The boy having heard
bear stories at the camp fire before
going to bed supposed that the
woods were full ol bears, and let
out a yell that caused all the per
sons in that tent to get a move on
themselves. In the meantime Lu
cas, who was quietly sleeping in
his cabin, was awakened by the un
earthly noises coining from the
camp, and he got fl double-quick
move on himself and grabbed n sack
of Scott's chittim bark and rushed
wildly toward the scene of disturb
ance; but between his cabin and
the camp was a deep spring, and
about the second jump John made
he larded head first in that ice cold
water. Now Lucas had been both
ered by skunks, and Scott, the
young man w ho had been peeling
the bark above mentioned, had set
a trap down by the spring for the
avowed purpose of catching that
particular skunk, and when ho
awoke and heard the noise of splash
ing water down by the spring, he
naturally supposed that he had
caught, the skunk, so he gathered
up the first weapon that was handy,
which happened to be a garden
rake, and rushed down to the
spring and made a grab for Mr.i
Skunk. As a result of his strike
he caught Lucas in his overalls and
drarj-ged him out. In the mean
ti lie tiling.; at the camp had quieted
t'o vu, and Lucas was in for whip
jlng Scott, but when the latter
chimed $7 as a rt-psonable damage
to the sack of chittim bark a com-p-onii
e v.-a-i effected.

Here a

seems that the party must have had

fire and rushed into the tent to see
what the matter was. From the
Hare of the camp fire could be seen j
big snakes and little snakes dodg-1
ing around 111 all directions; in t.ict
the mos: seemed to be literally
alive with snakes. This last dis
order settled the camping business,
for at breakfast next morning it
was passed by a unanimouti vote of ,
all the ladies present t.iat li'.ev
would not sleep another i:i-ilit 0:1
Rock Creek, so it was c'eci.'e I to
break camp and return to our sev
eral homes.
We must not forget to mention
the fact that we spent a
ant j
day at the splendid farm ci'M
Sam'l Center. Mr. Center was
having his hav harvested and we
not sver rememner ot seeing ns
fine a crop of hay. Mr. Wright,
wl'.o ts licrvestiu":
t:io croT), esti
mated that it would make lour tons
to the acre for the entire 25 acres.
i Mr. Center has been located on his
! farm six years and now has sixty
! acios of bottom land under cultiva
tion in meadows and orchards.
This shows what muscle and will
can do toward mailing a home in a
timbered an.', brushy country.
There are now about sixty Pel
tiers on kock creek and us Inbu
taries. Mr. Porter lias iust finished
surveying township 8, which will
soon be settled, as we are informed
that there r.v: many acres of good
iHittom land in this township. A
portion of this township is- covered
with fine timber, mostly iir, larch,
spruce and cedar;
If the Southern Pacific railroad
could be induced to extend its road
from the present terminus at Airlie
in Polk county, on to Xewport, it
would open up a country rich in
limber, granite nnd coal, us well as
to open up the Si!et;: country. Wc
are informed by Mr. Porter, who
has i.peat many uiiinlhs in this
country and who has laken the al
titudes and run a level over the
divide, that the road catl be built
wiih a less grade than the O. P.
have over the summit on tlieir line
and the distance from Airlie to
Newport would not exceed forty
miles.
The day is not far distant when
capital will seek and find the re
sources of this favored locality.
When we take into consideration
the fact that nearly every foot of
this proposed road would go
through a country that would fur
nish traffic for the road in its miles
of green timber, its acres of valley
land on the Siletz, and its moun
tains of fine granite, and other min
erals, we must know that bet a few
years will elapse ere the hand of
capital will reach out and grasp the
golden opportunities nature has
provided for it.
tilenna .Mabel insli, the io year
old child which was so brutally
outraged by Burleigh, is now in
the Boys' and Girls' Home in Port

as "a bright little thing," and it is
correct in its description. We
would suggest that I'ctuK-ytr leave

Legal circles have been very qui
et in Lincoln county for a long per
iod, of time. Judges, justices, at-

was rudely broken and disturbed,
however, by two suits in Judge ;
Burt's court this week. :
The first of these ca.scs was the
noted cow case, to which the New-
port News gave a ,,a;- column of;
contributed space last wee!;. This
suit was brought by F. U. Carson,
an attorney of this city, for the re -
covery of a cow which Mr. Carson
liau let t 111 tUe keeping ot rrautie
Harmon, a young rancher of Depot
slough, along- last January. When
Mr. Carson left his cow with Mr.
Harmon she was a dry cow, not-
witiitnr!dirs it was ia the aiiddlc
of the wet seas0U( He demanded
Cow in the spring and Mr. Har-
mon presented a bill for $15 for the
care and feed of the bovine. She
was then a dry cow no longer, al
though the diy season was just be
ginning. Mr. Carson offered $5
and so a suit resulted over the $10
difference. It was tried in Judge
Burt's court last Monday,
an,j Q
rr.'at ira-s ? of e-r-c t evi lcn? : 7
i given by cow feeders. Judge Huf-
tonl .iifp.l Mr. rinrsnn in tti r-rwo
' j and while Harry Henlinger upheld
Mr. Kanr.o i's ti.-'e of the legal
fray. The Judge rendered a ver
dict for Mr. Harmon and decreed
the cow aud calf, or in lieu thereof
the sum of $25 for the cow and $
for the calf. This throws the costs
on Mr. Carson and is a practical
victory for Mr. Harmon. This tvas
Harry Denlinger's first effort in a
law court. Now that the cow case
is settled it is thought by many of
our deepest thinkers that the coun
try will now advance rapidly and a
great tide of eastern immigration
set in.
On Tuesday, in the same court, J
Patterson sued'' Lee Wil
liams, of Newport, for $198 for la
bor alleged to have been expended
in clearing a tract of land near
Newport. Much conflicting testi
mony was adduced and the jury,
for it was a jury trial, rendered a
verdict for the plaintiff for $15.
II. Denlinger, Jr., was the attorney
for the plaintiff and W. S. Hufford
for the defendant.
The Siletz Reserve.
The long expected and much
hoped for opening of the Siletz res
ervation is very near at hand. The
treaty lias been ratified, the allot
ments have been made, and the on
ly thing necessary to complete the
action of congress in the matter
was the appropriation according to
the terms of the treaty. The fol
lowing letter, which we have been
kindly permitted to copy, will indi
cate the status of the matter:

The state of Oregon appropriated
and expended a large amount of
money to put in the locks at 0,e
gon City, and another large amount
to build a portage railway at The
Dalles, but it is declared that it
would be "unconstitutional" for
it to appropriate any money to as
sist in extending the Oregon Pacific
over into Kastern Oregon, This
extension would open a country
whose resources would be ten times'
greater than that which is tributary
to The Dalles. The state can own
a stove foundry, a brick yard, a
wagon toad, and a portage railway,
but the constitution prevents it
buying the Oregon Pacific and ex
tending it into I' astern Oregon, not
withstanding the immense benefit
which would immediately ie:ult to
to the state. It is getting time that
some of the barnacles be knocked
off of this "constitutional" c'odge,
It ought to be constitutional for a
stale to do whatever is best for its
people at large, provided it does no
injury to any one of its citizetW.

Under the provisions of the river,

Pay will receive $50,000. This ap
propriation is the most important
of any ever received, except, ofj
course, the first one, The original,
project contemplated for Y&qtiina
harbor had been completed. The
jetties had been extended to their
full length and had been laised to
tlieir proper bight. The work was
practically ended. Last year an
examination was made of the work
and it was seen that while the chan
nel had been greatly improved, j
there was still good prospects for)
further improvements. So a new,
survey of the harbor aud bar was'
made and the engineers recommen-'
ded a new project, or plan. This
project calls for the extension of the
jetties 3,000 feet each, which will
take them to deep water. This ap
propriation will be the first money
to be expended upon the new pro
