Last Friday afternoon, pursuant to a call of the . Toledo Development League, a good roads meeting was held at the courthouse in this place. Owing to the fact that the meeting had not been' announced but a short time there was not a very large at tendance, but what the meeting lacked in number was made up in enthusiasm. Representatives from Chitwood, Elk City, Newport and Siletz were present. Judge J. H. Scott of Salem, president of the Oregon Good Roads Association, and Senator Johnson of Corvallis, president of the Benton County Bank, were here and addressed the people on good roads. County Judge B. F. Swope pre sided over the meeting and intro duced the speakers. County Com missioner John Kentta and several road supervisors were also in atten dance. Senator Johnson was the first speaker, but having to return home on the early af tern oon train had to cut his speech to short. Judge Scott then spoke, reviewing the history of rord building from the time of the Roman Empire. He told of the method of building roads at that time ami of the ex cellent condition of the roads today that were built at that early day. He said we did not need nor 'could not expect to build such roads as the Romans built, but we could build good, substantial roads at comparatively small expense. He showed how good permanent rands could he built with but six inches of rock or gravel on top of a well rolled and packed dirt foundation. He showed by illustrations how to build dirt foundations by rolling! Mrs. C. G. Copeland went to and packing the dirt in layers, and;Nortons Monday afternoon for a how to put on the rock or gravel, also, in layers, each layer being thoroughly packed. The Judge is in favor of convict labor on road building. He said they were used in Marion county and, he thought, could be used in other counties of the state. He wants to sec a good road built running north and south through the entire state and wants T.inmln nm.ntv UnU ,i the Valley to connect with the state road. After the speaking was over it was decided to organize a County -noou uoaas Association to work m j Good Roads Association to work porary secretary, unainnan Swope then appointed a committee of five'! on permanent organization and constitution and by-laws.

Collins and children re- turned Monday. afternoon to Tort- land, after a month's visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Collins. Assessment Almost Finished. Assessor W. E. Ball has Lincoln county's assessment about comple ted, and within a few days will have the field work all done. He is now busy at work getting the as sessment roll in 'shape to be turned over to the Board of Equalization which meets on Monday, October 19, for the purpose of making any corrections in the roll that may be needed, in the way of reducing any assessment that may be deemed to high, increasing the valuation of any property assessed to low, or making any other necessary correc tions. . '. Assessor Ball is now making an increase of 80 per cent on all assess ments heretofore taken on all classes of property in the county, seeking to fulfill the law, which makes it mandatory that all property should be assessed at its full cash value. Mr. Ball has found at least three times the amount of personal prop erty in the county than has ever been assessed before. He has great ly added to the valuation of the roll this year by employing timber cruis ers to assist in assessing in different,' parts of the county. They havo ad ded thousands of dollars to the roll in adding to it timber heretofore not assessed. Mr. Ball estimates that' so far as can be ascertained at present the valuation of the tax roll this year will le at least double the amount of any previous assessment. He believes that should the tim ber be cruised, and he hopes it will soon, the present valuation will bo :afc len8t doubled. A new line Stewart's. Mrs. C.

The situation be- j gan to look serious, as though we would have to take the bucksaw in hand, but things look more pleasant now. Toledo people visiting Newport last Sunday were, Mrs. Walter Harding, Mrs. Melvin Gilderslecvo, Misses Yaquina Krogstad, Ruth Ofstedahl, Aileen Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Newton, Arthur Nye and G. B. McCluskey. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Soule of Ar leta cahie over Saturday for a short visit among old friends and scenes. They were accompanied by Mrs. W. P. Cowman and son,, publishers of the Casey, Iowa, Vindicator. The latter are mother and brother of Mesdames Soule and Hose M. Schenck. S. P. Officials Here. J. II. O'Brien of the Harriinan railroad system, accompanied by J. K. Weathcrford of Albany, and Deputy County Clerk Lee Wade of Toledo, are making a trip of inspec tion of this county. Yesterday Messrs. O'Brien and Weathcrford came over in Mr. O'Brien's private car to Norton, thence by wagon road over to the Rock Creek and Siletz Valleys. They were met at Siletz Agency by Mr. Wade and from there the party will go down the Siletz river to the mouth, thence up th beach to Newport. The object of thia viit, through our county, of course, is not made known, but all indications point to the fact that it is simply to inspect the timber and other resources along the proposed extention of Harri man's railroad down the coast from Astoria and Seaside. That this road will be soon extended on down to Yaquina bay there is no reason for doubt. Slate? and pencils at Stewart's. -- Two More Sunday Excursions. The C. & E. railway will run two more Sunday excursions from Al bany to Newport, next Sunday Sep tcmlxir 20, and the following Sun day September 27th. . , Enlarge the School Districts. It is no wonder teachers are hard to secure in our outlying districts. Being a little unhandy to reach, per haps, is partly the cause, but a very little part. The main reason is the low salary. Many of the districts that have the most, trouble have not money to pay their teacher more than 30 or $35 per month and have the required rmmlter of months to maintain their district, and so long as teachers can get from $40 to '.70 ner month elsewhere t.l.ov will not come to Lincoln county', and wo haven't enough teachers in the county to teach our schools, pp, , . . ., . ...

When this io done there may bo a scarcity of teachers but it will not be in tbo districts that are in trouble now, Let us see what can be done. R.
