Baby Drowns in Spring.
Last Sunday. afternoon the little
three-year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
R. II. Williams was drowned in the
spring at their home, four miles
west of Toledo, on the Newport
road.
The little fellow had been playing
and becoming thirsty went in the
house and asked his mother for a
drink. Mrs. Williams being busy
with the younger baby at the time,
told him to go to the spring and
help himself, as he had often done
before. In a short time Mrs. Wil
liams, not hearing him playing,
went to look for him. She saw a
little foot sticking out of the spring
and'quickly pulled him out, but life
was extinct.
In getting bis drink the little fel
low slipped and fell head first into
the water.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home Tuesday, interment be
ing made in Newport cemetery.
Rev. C. R. Ellsworth conducting

we wish to extend our sincere

The Youngest Soldier.
. Lincoln county has a resident,
Mr. George Green, enjpys the dis
tinction of having been the youngest
soldier in the Union Army during
the . Civil war. This old veteran
enlisted in the 52 N. Y. Vol. In
fantry, at the tender age of 12 years
and 3 months, and served one year,
being discharged at the close of the
war. He was wounded at the bat
tle of Kingston, N. C, by being
struck by a bursting b1k:11, and laid
on the field suffering tortures for
over eight hours Ix'fore aid reached
him. Later he suffered a fiesh
wound at the skirmish of Bachelor's
Creek, North Carolina.
After the Civil war ended Mrs.
Green enlisted in the regular army
and served three years in the Da
kotas, during which time he par
ticipated in several Indian battles.
As the result of one of these battles
Mr. Green has a badly scarred room. The high school will be

Toledo School.
Toledo's public and high Schools
will open for the regular nine
month's term next Monday morn-
ing. .This promises to be the ' best
school year in the. history of the
county, and Toledo's reputation of
being one of the best school towns
in the state will be upheld.
Our school population has in
creased so rapidly the past few years
that it has taxed the school board
to provide school room. Last year
the district built an addition of two
large rooms to the main school
building, expending over $2000 for
the same. This year the four rooms
were found to be too small to ac
commodate the increased number of
pupils so the old school house, just
east of the main school building,
was repaired, repainted and fur
nished throughout with new furni
ture and will make good school
for the past four years, and has., a
i '
j uuivevti;,i satisfaction.

Came to Oregon in '47.
Sixty-one ycars-ago a little com
pany of immigrants undr the lead
ership of Captain Nat Bowman
crossed the Cascade range of Moun
tains at Laurel Hill the first tea m a
to ever come that route and landed
at Oregon City, then a little place
of but four or five houses. In that
company was a ninteen-year-old
boy by the name of M. J. Allphin,
and his sister, now Mrs. Mary Bow
man of Jefferson. Mr. Allphin be
lieves himself and'Vister are the on
ly surviving members of that com
pany. The Allphins were living in Illi
nois in the spring of '47 and heav
ing that a company was to start
with Captain Bowman got ready
and joined the company.
The following year the family
moved to Linn county and resided
for several years on the Santiani.
There were only six families living
in Linn county at that time. It
was in MS that the great forest fire
swept through the whole coast range
of mountains and destroyed billions
of feet of the finest timber in the
world. The effect of that file is
seen by the thousands of acres of
old dead snags standing all over
this western part of the state. Mr.
Allphin says it was so smoky in
Salem during .this fire that lamps
had to lie kept burning during the
day in order to see anything. All
work and business had to be sus
pended on account of the smoke
i .
witli his three yoke of oxen.

great Rogue River wars in 1 S.l.l-t;,
