Jame3 Rae and wife returned last
night from a visit among frienda
in Canada. Mr. Rae said he was
on the Saturday's passenger train
that was delayed at the Summit
because of a freight train wreck
which occured four miles this side
of the Summit. The freight train
was heavily luaded with railroad
ties going east. The .passengers
had to stay nine hours at the Sum
mit before they could get through.
When the passengers got to New
port it was half past three o'clock
in the morning. Mr. Rae said they
had a splendid supper at Summit
and were royally treated by the
good people of that village, so the
passengers were not so badly put
out after all. Ihe railroad com
pany is doing everything possible
to improve the road bed by ballast,
puttng in new ties and replacing
old rails with new ones, so by the
time the Summer travel commences
the road will be in first class condi
tion. The state railroad commis
sion passed over the road Wednes

of inspection. The Commission
was entertained while at Newport

ing was held at the Abbey Grill

never make a charge that cannot

personal or selfish reasons. Just
complaints will always(be investi
gated and corrected.
The Tillamook, Capt. Johnson.
while on her way to Bandon.
stopped at Yaquina to take on
two large engines, one a compressed
air engine weighing ten tons and
the other nine tons. These engines
are for the Porter Bros, to be used
in the railroad construction work
at Mapleton. The Tillamook had
on board two hundred tons of
freight and drew ten feet of water.
i She passed out over the bar Satur
day morning at low tide without
any difficulty. So the report of
eight feet at low tide is a mistake
and was no doubt made by some
one who wanted maliciously to in
jure the name, of this bar. The
last survey showed twelve feet of
water at mean low tide.
The Patsy. Capt. Tillitt. came in
Sunday for another cargo of sup

Nashville
The Citizens' Club is a veritable
entity and is miking good. It ws
organized under difficulties; suc
ceeded in bringing together the
best citizens of the community. Is
creating the hope of co-operation;
and has secured the man to lecture
to us who held the Benton growers
association from a weak effort and
held the ship of state steadily up -stream
until the cannery surprised
the most sanguine for success into
the van of a howling success. Mr.
Morgan sacrificed upon the altar of
faith of co-ooeration and co-operative
principles his business interests
for the public interests. His labors ,
and success will prove to be an
incentive to any body of industri
ous men and women, and will in
spire the hope of economy and
thrift and bring united effort in
stead of random experimentation.
Come and hear him.
The sense of our meeting Satur
day evening was to give the glad
hand to the County Court for a
united pull to secure college exten
sion and agricultural work in Lin
coln county, and many live speeches
will be made why we should act
now. '
Following hte mass meeting of
the citizens of Eastern Lincoln
county to hear Mr. Morgan a week
later comes at least two men from
the O.A.C. to place before us the
motives, the objects and the ends
to be gained by co-operation with
the College Extension and Agricul
tural Work, on Friday evening.
May 3d. and it is to be hoped that
the farmers and their wives will
come to help the "Citizeis' Club'
to make a strike for the material
interests of Linconl county. Our
interests are the interests of every
citizen of Lincoln county. We have
moved the rock of inaction, set it
in motion, help us keep it going.
Do not boost for Lincoln county,
thats too general, but "boots for
every individual citizen' that
reaches all, individually and person
ally. The iron is hot Btrike witb
force and precision. We have a.
