The rain fall was about five inches. The Pacific, -coast is certainly favored because we were not damaged but little by the storm, while other sections of the country suffered great Iocs not only of lives Out millions of property was destroyed, as well as the great distress and suffering it caused the people. We ought to be thankufl. An ordinance was passed at the last meeting of the council making it a fine of from $1 to $10. and a jail sentence of from one to five days, for anyone to spit or blow their probosis on any sidewalk in Newport.

Beasley are now engaged in surveying and locating the wagon road from Newport to Siletz bay. The country through which the road will run is exceedingly rough and it will take at least a month to locate the road. It took one week to get to the Monterey hotel, a dis tance of two miles. This route along the coast is crossed by deep gorges and canyons and the country is covered with salal brush, logs and heavy timber, and it will take at least $3000. per mile to build the road. It may be well to swamp and locate the road now but it will doubtlesss not be built for fifteen or twenty years yet Taxpayers are getting tired of the high taxes when such little results are obtained The county three years ago was out of debt but since that time a debt of $150,000 has been created not withstanding within that time taxes, have been collected amount ing to near'y half a million dollars. So it can easily be seen that the county must go slow in expendi tures or we will become bankrupt. I understand county warrants are discounted five per cent and the banks will nut take them at all. I am sure the roads of the county have never been so bad as this Win ter. The road from here to Toledo is almost impassable for wagons and teams and a man going over them on foot will mire down.

W. S. Hall. Ralph Hamar. James Franks and C. S. Davis was re-elected. The directors elected W. S. Hall, presiient; A. C. Crawford, vice president, and C. S. Davis, secretary-treasurer. The secretary-treasurer's report showed .a very healthy financial condition land in view of the fact that our j factory just finished its first year. every stockholder felt more than satisfied with the results. The factory, from Mav 15, 1912, to October 14. 1912. handled 216. 514 pounds of milk and manufac tured 21,819 pounds of cheese. The most gratifying feature of our business has been the excellen ce of our product. We shipped our first consignment to Portland, where it immediately created a good impression. Within the past, week we have had to refuse numer ous orders as our stock is entirely sold out. One inquiry was from Seattle. The writer had seen and sampled our cheese in Portland and wanted one hundred cases immed iately. We had nothing to offer, we had to close down early last Fall, the roads being in such miser able condition it was impossible to . haul milk to the factory. ', . This office receives at least one communication a ween from writers who fail to sign his or hsr name. Last week we received one from Eddyville and a few days ago an other from Yaquina. The Leader is mIwrvs ready to publish articles from anyone, which we think will be of interest or edu -ational to the readers, providing they are not too lengthy, but it is an iron clad rule with this as well as all other news naoers that all articles for publica tion be signed by the writer. The name wiM never be signed to the article when published if requested not to do so. but for many reasons the newspaper must always have the name of the writer, other v. ke it is a waste of time to send un signed articles to any newspaper. The articles referred to above are good and we would very much like to publish both of them, but we cannot for the reason given. Should the names be supplied we will cheerfully publish them. m N. L.
