The good roads meeting, which had been advertised more of less, was held nttlie courthouse yesterday afternoon under the auspices of the Farmers' Association of Chitwood. A. L. Mc Donald, chairman of tl.o Association, presided. About twenty citizens of the county were present, and considerable interest was manifested. The bad roads were probably responsible for the small attendance. Interesting talks were made by Chair man McDonald, J. F. Stewart, F. M. Stanton, I. J. Pepin, Kasimir Busch, D. J. Chitwood, E. V. KyDistoD, John McCIuskey, C. II. Gardner and County Commissioner George King. The idea of the various road districts levying special tuxes for the construc tion of permanent roads seemed to pre vail with the majority who spoke and it was decided to adjourn to June 22. On that date a dairymen's meeting will be held in the forenoon, the adjonrned good roads meeting in the afternoon, with a picnic dinner between. Lack of space at this late hour forbids more ex tended notice. However, remember the date and talk and work for good roads. - Cold Storage Plant. G. E. Reeve and family, recently of Salem, have become citizens of Toledo and are occupying the Dr. Thayer property over on the north side. Mr. Reeve will be associated with H. D.

The old creamery building on the southside tideland on Depot slough has been secured for the purpose and Mr. lilakely is now in Bnffitlo, N.

The Toledo baseball grounds were coated with mud last Sunday and rain fell at intervals throughout the day, but there was a ball game, just the same. Billy Iloeflein, with four other Ya quina players, aud one from Newport and three from the valley, came up iu a launch on a pleasure trip, the dis agreeable weather having chased away the prospect of a game. However, nine Toledo Webfootcrs got together and at it I hey went. Only eight innings were I played and the visitors won easily by a score of 14 to 4. Toledo's team was a mixture, also, being composed of four Tigers, four Bullephants aud oue for eignerFred Stanton. The locals were badly handicapped by the slippery grounds, none of them being sharp shod. The Willamette valley boys and some of the Yaquina players were pre pared for the occasion and their toe plates kept them from rolling in the mud whenever they attempted to move. The locals' battery was also a brand new one, Samsel going behind the bat for the first time. In full dress,' in cluding toe claws, the visitors had all the best of the heavy going, but To ledo's regular team, properly togged, can give them a different argument. Perhaps they will come together in tho near future. The icore card which was handed us was so muddy that it could not be de ciphered, and we are compelled to omit the line up and other particulars. . . Died.

Might Have Been Worse. While showing some fellow-citizen Wednesday how his now rifle worked, Dr. Thomas Parker accidentally dis charged the weapon. Tho Doctor was statiding on the sidewalk on Water' Front row, not far from Peterson's jewelry store The bullet plowed a furrow in tho ground about fifty yards northeast, struck a stone, glanced up ward and passed through a window in the southwest cornor of Dr. Wetmore's residence. Mrs. Wetmoro was standing at the window and the bullet weut less than a foot over her head, struck tho ceiling and fell to the floor. Dr. Par ker was summoned before Recordor Krogstad, who assessed him $5 for tho lapsus trlggerus. This regretable in cident should be a valuable lesson to every sportsman. Firearms should not be louded within tho citr limits. Accidents will hunnen. and all do not. result in a mere case of fright. Just picture the result had Dr. Carter beeu statiding where Mrs. Wetmore stood! - Bids Wanted.
