peacefully settled.
We are in receipt of a very inter
esting letter from Robt. Depoe, of
Carlisle, Pennsylvania, which we
would be mast happy to publish,
was it not for the praise he gives

Siletz will celebrate the glorious
Fourth of July in due patriotic

ways have a good time when they
start in 011 it.
A car load of chiltim bark was

Last Friday evening a lady giving
her name as Smith, arrived on the
train from Albany, and hunting up
Sheriff Land is and Marshal Hall,
sought their assistance in the re
covery of her fourteen-year-old
daughter, which she claimed had
been enticed away from Albany by
Mrs. Fred Baker, a woman quite
well k'iow!i on t'ie Biy. Mrs.
Baker and her sister in company
with the girl sought after came
from Albany in a wagon driven by
a mau whose name we did not
learn. They had been in Toledo
that day, and had started for New
port. Sheriff Landis started out
after train time to overhaul them,
and came upon them camping in
the edge of Newport. He took the
girl in custody and took her to a
hotel, bringing her up on the train
next morning, where she was met
by her mother and taken back to
Albany. The girl stated that she
had been well treated, and evidently
did not realize the position she was
in. She was the daughter of poor
pavc-.its living on a farm near
Albany, and had been working in
a restaurant at that place until she
was brought over here. No ar
rests were made, the mother being
satisfied to get her girl back.
A. couple of mighty hunters from
this place went over to Otter Rock
last Tuesday to kill a bear that had
been making trouble over there.
They started early and got to the
hunting ground about ten o'clock.
Tying their horse in good grass and
taking their guns went forth to the
slaughter. Finding a trail which
the bear had used much, they hid
themselves in the brush to wait till
Bruin came along. But alas, the
day was warm, the road had been
long, the shade waS pleasant, and
in less than four minutes after hid
ing 60th hunters were sound asleep
and snoring loud enough to scare
iiway all but the boldest of the
game. The pangs of hunger awoke
them about two o'clock and they
proceeded to the lunch basket, but
the bear had been thcie whilst they

The strawberry festival and
dance given under the auspices of
the Rebekah lodge last Thursday
night was a 'very enjoyable and
successful affair. The proceeds
netted about $15, which will go
quite a ways to help purchase the
set of handsome regalias the
Rebekahs are getting.
Excursion rates have been put
on the S. P. and the O. C. & E.
and summer travel has alieady set
in to the seaside. This season
promises to be the best season
Newport has ever had. The many
attractions of Newport and vicinity
will make it the most popular sea
side resort on the coast when other
conditions become equal.
O. Nelson, the supervisor of the
Yaquina road district, is having
quite a time with a good many of
the men in his district to get them
to work the roads. Mr. Nelson
says that they wont work, but
some of the men say that they are
willing to work or pay, if they are
given the least say so in the matter.
We guess there is no doubt but
that Mr. Nelsou fully feels the
honor of his high position.
Dr. Wakefield, of Little Elk, was
in town last night, coming up from
Newport ' and Cape Foulweather,
where he had been looking the
country over. He informs us that
there are a great many new settlers
coming into the Little and Big Elk
countries, some of them buying
land and some of them taking
government land. The Doctor has
already sold two or three pieces of
land to new settlers, and has one or
two more sales on the tap, and don't
claim to be much of a real estate
agent either.
A criminal case occuired in
'Squire Grant's court at Siletz last
Friday. The case was one against
Tom Matches charged with beating
and pounding his mother-in-law.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Carson went over and represented
snd upheld the dignity of the great
,'itate of Oregon in the prosecution.
Attorney Scott Lane appeared for
the defense and made a good show
ing. After a hard fought battle the
state came off victorious and the
defendant was fined $5 and costs,
amounting in all to about $20.
News of an assault with a deadly
weapon, an arrest, and a combina
tion of peculiar circumstances in
the justice court, comes to us from
Alsea. The account of the affair,
as related to us, is as follows: On
the 10th inst. B. F. Loveall and
Chris. Hansen were working roads
on the Yahats. A difficulty arose
over some matter and Loveall at
tacked Hansen with an ax, strik
ing a couple of blows on the head.
This precipitated a general fracas,
and picks, shovels and axes were
in demand for a few minutes. Af
ter the smoke of battle had cleared
away it was found that Hansen had
a couple of scalp wounds of not very
serious nature. Hausei went to
Waldport and swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Loveall. He was
arrested and taken before 'Sauire
Ruble on the 10, and at the prison
er's request the examination was
continued till 2 o'clock p. m. on
the 14, and the prisoner was placed
in charge of Constable Monroe un
til trial day. betcre that time ar-'
rived, however, the prisoner went
before 'Squire Bowers, of Beaver
creek precinct precinct and had a
preliminary he.iring for the same
that he and several others were
coming to Lincoln county lo inves
tigate the reported undeveloped re
sources of this county, and especial
ly the Siletz country, with a view
ot building up a lumber iudustry
Cliittim pealing is becoming quite
a business. C. C. McBride is mak
ing large shipments on each steam
er. He pays 2 cents per pound,
and realizes from 22 to 3 cents
for it in San Francisco.
John Hewitt has leased a section
of railroad laud fiom the land com
pany's a;rent in Portland and will
use it mostly for pasture. He has
posted notices forbidding trespass
ing thereon. This has caused some
of the chitlim peelers to be indig
nant and are making serious threats
but John says he does not fear any
bodily harm, as it will require a
foot-racer to catch him to inflict an y
very serious damage. Never-lhe-less
he says the law governing tres
passing will be enforced unless dep
redations are discontinued.
Mr. E. D. Young has purchased
quite a number of hogs and expects
to make hog-raising the most im
portant part of his business in the
near future.
ine u. L. c , bridge gang is
now at work on bridge No. 36,
just east of this place. The repairs,
though temporary, will make quite
a substantial structure for several
years.
Sheep shearing lias commenced
and most ranchmen report more
than the average clip this year.
Eleven cents per pound is the high
est price offered yet.
We beleive that most of our citi
zens will celebrate the 4th at New
port this year.

J. A. Wilson is putting in logs
for Harrisou Brothers, of Waldport.
He has three men at work, and the
ring of the woodman's ax may be
heard early and late.
Our young people meet at the
school house every Sunday where a
short time is spent in singing under
the leadership of Mr. Otto Thissell
and Miss Allie Mulkey.
Tidewater promises lots of im
provement this summer. Our con
stable and justice have been fortun
ate in securing the services of an
able "architect" from Corvallis,
who has just finished plans and
specifications for a couple of fine
dwellings to be erected this sum
mer. The wonder is, who will
reign as queens of them.
'Squire Wilson has just returned
from a visit to Toledo, and reports
himself well pleased with that thriv
