last Tuesday. j
Dr. Carter was d bvri from I;'.!;
City yesterday,- j
Milt Butler and family are visit- j
jng his parents at this place.
Charley Winant was up from j
Newport Tuesday evening. j
Walter Kisor and wife are over I
Philomath to spend the Fourth. j
Twenty-five teams passed Pio-j
Uccr Lcctuca weauvard last Tues-j
day. j
Mr. Gray, a brother of Mrs.
Rich and Mrs. Bethers, is .visiting
at this place.
Attorney F. D. Carson made a
business trip to Corvallis the first
of the week.
Vm. Alexander stepped in a
hole in the mill yard yesterday and
as a consequeuce is carrying his leg
in a sling. j
F. M. Stanton was appointed ad-
ministrator of the estate of Geo. W. j
Jackson, Sr., deceased, by Judge .
Burt last Saturday. j
John Leabo, of Salem, a brother
ot Noah Leabo, of this place, is ;
sojourning in this county, and will j
probably locate here.
T. C. Jackson, the Siletz pho
tographer returned from Florence
on the last trip of the Robarts, and
is again holding forth at the Siletz.
Our people will make a general
hegira today to Newport and Siletz j
to celebrate. The present prospect i
is that the crowd from Toledo will i
about equally divide between the I
two places.
A car of lumber will be taken to
Eddyville to repair the county
bridge at Little Klk. A scow load
will also be taken to Pioneer to
repair the bridge over Simpson
creek.
Coquille Jim, a Siletz Indian,
was in Toledo Tuesday and got full
of red liquor, and on the road home
he fell out of the wagon, and the
wagon run over him breaking one
of his jaws, and otherwise bruising
him up. lie was taken on to the
Siletz and his wounds were dressed.
We come out a day earlier this
week in order to give our large
corps of reporters, editors, business
managers and typos a chance to
celebrate the great and glorious
Fourth of July according to the
dictates of their own conscience,
and the size of their respective
purses.
A couple of young men living in
the country near Toledo were fool
ish enough to let some meddlesome
persons work up a brutal personal
encounter between them, which
took place on the wharf at this
place last Tuesday. Both young
men are now heartily ashamed of
their action, as they properly shoul I
be. We trust the boys will never
be guilty of such disgraceful con
duct again.
Joe Morrison, cf SiHz, had r.n
experience with a wild pony last
week which lie will remember tor
some time. He had a wild horse
tied up to a tree with a rope, and
went up to put a halter on him.
He caught hold of the rope near j
the tree, when the horse swung j
round, catching one of Morrison's i
fiugers against the tree. The!
horse swung back and so did Mor- j
risou, and both shut their eyes and j
pulled. Pretty soon Morrison felt I
something give way and opening
his eyes he saw oue of his fingers
sticking against the tree. It was 1
the third finger and was taken off:
at the last joint. Joe got his finger
dressed and thinks he will be able
to work again in a couple of weeks.
Troy Mays was in Toledo Mon
day-
Wm. Toner was up from Yauina
Sunday.
Miss Effie Crosno has a vacation
at her school this week and is at
home on a visit.
Robt. Schweibold came in from
Portland yesterday evening and will
stop on the bav a few davs.
r.. t, a -kt r- t.:
with their families, are stonrune at!
a cottage in Newport for a few
days.
Johnny Steel has built a new hay
and stock barn on his ranch north '
of town. Johnny is not going to
have his hay get wet nor his cows
stand out in the rain this winter.

We understand that Messrs.
Strong & Bain, of Salem, of whom
mention was made last week, will
put a cannery on the Siletz, instead
of at Toledo. They expect to locate
the plant at Skunk creek, about
a mile below Medicine Rock. It
appears to us that it would have
paid the gentlemeu to have located
further d own the river. It is very
probable that a cannery will also be
located down the river near the
bay, and in case one should be so
located, the cannery so far up as
Skunk creek would get but few
fish.

A philosopher once said that it

smaller and petty trial that wears

almost everyone. It was not
