Number 23 GM, mountu BASEBALL Nashville Won; Toledo One The Nashville baseball team came down Sunday to play ball with the local team . By some hook or crook the Toledo ball players had made plans for other amusements for the day before word came that the Nashville team would be here and were nearly all out of town. A scrub nine was rounded up after the Nashville boys arrived and a game played. The Toledo boys played hard but as some of them were never known to play ball before and the best of their players had not played for a long time they made lots of funny piao. The ecoie stood something like 30 or 40 to 1 or thereabouts. Ball Next Sunday. The North Stars of Salmon 'River and Toledo will play ball on the Toledo grounds next Sunday after noon.

Last Friday word came to Toledo that Clayborne White, an Indian 24 years old living on Rock Creek on Siletz, had been murdered. His body was found lying in the road near his home by Solomon Wigle, a farmer living near there, early Friday morning. Sheriff Ross and Coroner Carter went immediately to the scene. They found that White had been shot through the body with a rifle or revolver. The circumstances possible to ob tain are as follows: Pete Muggins had been sent to town for whiskey. He left the train at Nortons where his horse had been left and was met then by Homer Evans. They went over the hill to Rock creek and j when near Nellie White's place ' were joined by Logsdon, when White and Carl a drinking bout ensued. It is presumed that in a fight which probably took place one of the three other Indians fired the 'shot that killed White. Several conflicting stones are told , by the three, but the truth will probably be brought to light be the preliminary hearing to lx) held be- fore United States Commissioner : Gardner here today. j A U.

Parrish is just putting the finishing touches to the dam across Olalla slough a half mile southeast of town. ' Mr. Parrish legan the construc tion of this dam more than a year ago and had it very nearly comple ted last Fall when an accident oc eured in which some of the plank ing was knocked off letting the water in which soon washed out the loose dirt. In a few days the dam was almost destroyed. For several weeks litigation seemed inevitable, but finally all parties interested by concessions came to an agreement,, and this summer Mr. Parrish began the reconstruction of the dam. He has had a crew of men working for several weeks and the dam is again completed. The gates will be closed and the tide shut out today or tomorrow. The building of this dam means much to Lincoln county. It is a sort of an experiment. If it will stay in and accomplish that which it was intended, it will be the means of reclaiming hundreds of acres of the best land in the world. The dam is intended to shut out the tide water that lias always over flowed this land at extreme high tides. A sluice-way 1C feet wide with strong lock gates will allow the water above the dam to pass out at low tide and prevent it re turning during flood tides. The land above the dam will not be overflowed and diking in the future will be unnecessary. If this dam is a success thousands of acres of other lands along the many similar sloughs in this county will be reclaimed in the same way. The richest land in the world is this overflowed tideland but unless the water is kept ofl' it is practically waste lands. Hundreds of acres have been reclaimed by the expen- ! sivc method of building dikes along the banks of the sloughs to prevent overflow during high tides,- but there are thousands of acres in the county that can only be used for grazing purposes and considerable 0f t j too wet for that. When the i water is thut ofl there is no soil ,in the world to equal it for produetivc- i I ness. O. It. Altree returned Saturday evening from Portland whore ho had been the past week. Mrs. C. G.
