Explanation of last week's road
work being a family affair. There
were two days worked on the road
last week. One day and a half was
done in the east end of my district,
! repairing bridges and patch work,
!the other half day was done to finish
the job that the kicker had prom
ised to do for a month but on ac
count of a spud patch that had to
j be cleared off, the job was left half
I done and in very bad shape. I am
trying to please every tax payer in
my road district and I don't think
a man had ought to kick at the
road supervisor if he has no right
to vote at a road meeting.
Yours respectfully
Supervisor,

northwest winds which hlnm an
strongly during the monthb of July

for bathing. The bay and bar in

Pacific on the west, the green,
grassy bluff on the north and the
high towering mountains in the

picturesque appearance. This is

green grass. At 10 o'clock the

Born, to Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Lil

David Foreman.
David Foreman died at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison on June
1st at 8 a. m , after an illness of
j more than a year, but not until the
i last three weeks was he confined to
! his bed.
j He was born on December 9,
181. at Harcars, Farnsh of Tojjo,
County of Berwick. At the age of
fourteen years he came with his
parents to this country, spending
his first three years on a farm at
Jack Creek, Iowa; from there they
moved to Estherville, Iowa, where
he took a course in architecture
and after finishing his course, he
took up carpentering and contract
ing, in this he was very successful,
having designed and built many of
the most handsome homes in Esther
ville. At the age of nineteen he went
i to live with Mr. and Mrs. Harrison
and has since made his home with
them up to the time of his death.
Abcut four years ago he camo to
Toeldo and built the Toledo Launch
Works, which he operated until ho
wa3 confined to the house, many of
our finest launches that glide up and
down the Yaquina Bay were slid
from the Toledo Launch Works.
Dave, as he was generally called,
was a man of kind and quiet dis
position, never doing anyone harm,
but always trying to do someone
good. No one ever went to him in
time of trouble but what he al
ways showed a helping hand, no
matter what it cost him.
No mother could have shown a
more loving care than did Mrs.
Harrison, who watshed over his
bedaido night and day, doing every
thing that loving hands could do
to relieve his suffering. No ex
pense was too great, everything
known to medical science was done
to restore him back to health, but
it proved of no avail.
The funeral was held from the
family rcsidenco on June 3d and
the intcrrment took place in the
Toledo cemetery, where beneath the
weeping pines overlooking the Bay,
he loved so well, he was laid tn
rest beneath quantities of beautiful
norai offerings placed there by his
many friends as a tribute to his
noble life. We will all miss him
for there will always be a vacant
cnair. A FHen.t.
