Following ia an extract taken from an article in last week's News. licixirter: "The pioplc of Newport are to bo congratulated upon thei prompt and eflictive refused to be roped into a "wildcat scheme" to boom sonicbodys sawmill property at the expense of tlujir own and their grand childrcns childrens pocket books. " Will Mr. Matthews kindly explain what iflictive re fused" means. This is a new term to us, also eflictive. is a new word. We have taken it up with high juithority and the latest decision to date, is, that it means to go back nn your word nr brcik n lr.r"rin Now we realize the folly of trying to argue the matter with a ninny like the editor ofjhe News-Reporter has proven himself to be, but, for the benefit of those who do not know the facts of the matter, we will outline them in brief. Here are the facts: Some of the leading citizens -of Toledo conceived the idea of forming the county into a port district and improving the rivers and bays, thereby opening them up to navigation. A meeting was cidled and the matter discuss jd and it met with unanimous favor. Another meeting was held at Elk City and it met with favor there. They said we will think t he matter over, come back again in two weeks and we will give you our decision. Meetings were held at Eddyville and Waldport in mean time and while these people were not enthusi astic over the matter, yet they said we ore open to conviction." . But while Toledo, in gosd faith, is going ahead and holding these meetings, what does Newport do? It says ' vp will just block this scheme which o.1. i i mted at Toledo and which will give the other parts of the country a chance to givnv. So they fc'ct up a petition creating the port of Newport. And mind you, this vas done without waiting to meet with the rest of the county as they had promised to. do. A majority of the people of Newport are dis gusted at the sneaking manner in which a few of her citizens acted, also the News-Reporter for uphold ing such methods. This is shown by the last week's I,haieu which was written by one of Newport's leading citizens. Should this weather continue we may soon see the work on the To-lcdo-Silclz road resumed. This nice Summer weather is causing the grass to grow like magic. Early gardens are being planted. Lincoln county climate against the world. ED FRONT BLACKSMITH SHOP F. V. CARSON, Prop.

Starting from the wharf at Toledo the water averaged about 14 feet in depth until the bar mid way between the mouth of the slough and Altree's mill, where the shallowest water was A feet with a mud bottom. From this bar to ' Frarj '. V40 water is from 14 to 30, feet e'ecp. Here, on this bar the water is 8 feet deep, the bar is short and is composed of mud. Continuing from here on down the ! bay the water is from 14 to 24 feet deep until Rocky Print is reached. On the bar at Rocky Point the water is again orly 8 feet deep, also mud bottom. Now, these measure ments being taken at low tide, gives a depth of 15 feet of water on tv o of these Intra on. a half t ide, and liyi feet on the bar just below town.. On the large liar supposed to be situated at Mill Four there was found to lie 14 feet of water at low tide. When this one- bar just bulovv town is removed tiny boat that can come in over the bar at the mouth of the bay, can come up to Toledo. Between here and Elk City them are only two bars that need fixing, and then boats can go onto Elk City to load. R. S. VANCIEVE 1 TOLEDO, OREGON Oyster Cocktails I Oyster Stews ! Oyster Frys!

The Ninth Grade has' finished Lowell's "Sir Launfall," and is now reading Shakespeare's "Mer chant of Venice." The Toledo High School met last Friday afternoon and organized a literary society. Annie Hawkins was elected president; Aileen Gai ther, vice president, and George Day, secretary and treasurer. The society is to meet every Friday afternoon. This is not the first literary society of the High School, but is going to be the best, as be fore the meetings were held at night, and tliQse living at a distance from the schoolhouse could not come when it was stormy. There is no reason why it should not be a success this time, if the members are willing to do their part. Several cases of Spring fever have been reported in the High School. This matter should be looked into at once and necessary steps taken to stop the spread of. the . malady.
