REV. FATHER
kA Catholic church has been erec
ted in Toledo. In view of this fact
we think it no more than just and
right that the people of this local
ity have an opportunity to know
what we believe and teach in regard
to fundamental truths end prin
ciples of religion. This is made im
perative by the 'fact that there 13 en
impression abroad among the r.eJDle
that the church has secrets the
keeps from the people and sinister
motives that she tries to conceal.
The truth cf the matter is that the
Catholic church holds no principles
cr teaches no doctrines that she
doe3 net wish to have known to all
the world. The life of Rev. Father
Id. P. Smith, C. S. P.. is a living
illustration of this desire on the
part of the church of havini? her
teachings tpread throughout the
world He has given lectures and
missions in most cf the large cities
from New York to San Francisco,
and from Texas tu Alaska. lie is
therefore a man of wide experience,
noted for his learning and acknowl
edged as an eloquent sneaker. He
was b6rn in the city of New York
nearly sixty years ago. His long
sears of experience and studv have
matured hi3 judgment; ivhila his
strenuous labors have not appar
ently diminished his vigor.
Having finished his studies he was
ordained to the Priesthood in his
native city. There he began his
life's work which has taken him to
the north, and the south, to the
cast and to the west of our vast
country. He has been to its bor
ders in all directions. He has la
bored in its populous centers and in
its sparcely settled districts. Some
times as a permanent Rector of a
large church, as he was for a time
of St. Mary's Church, San Fran
cisco, at other times giving lectures
and missions. He was recently
called from the South by Arch-

Statistics compiled by the Port

of lectures in the Catholic church
of Toledo, beginning Sunday night,

tb, everv evening at 8 o'clock, on
subjects of the greatest importance

I woman. No one who louks upon
be Christian world today and sees
jthe followers of Christ divided into
warring sects and hostile camps
instead cf being united ia the
jtacred bonds of brotherly love can
fail to be interested in a lecture on
"Christian Unity" by a msn who
jl a? made the religious conditions
jof America a life's study. No one
h has faith and trust in Almighty
IGod czn fail to benefit by hearing
j Father Smith's lecture on the i.T.-
portance of this great virtue of
j Faith, the rules that should guide
I it and the means by which it should
i ha cultivated No one who believes
in the Divinity of Christ can fail to
profit by Father Smith's explana
tion and defense of that important
truth. The lecture on Tha Lord's
Supper as described in the bible and
practiced by the Catholic church
and Protestant denominations will
be full of instruction and should
arouse interea: in all. Everyone
can attend these lectures with the
full assurance that nothing will be
suid to hurt his feelings no matter
what his religious convictions may
be. They will simply consist in an
able defense and clear explanation
of truths and principles according
to which every right thinking per
son, whether Protestant or Catholic,
is trying to live. Everyone who
attends will have the pleasure of
listening to a profound scholar and
an eloquent speaker. It will be an
intellectual treat which the people
of Toledo and the vicinity are
kindly invited to attend.

Clifford Helms is attending the
Toledo Fair this week.
The South Lincoln District Fair
held at the schoolhouse last Satur
day was very interesting. Quite a
number of exhibits were sent in by
the children and some of them
were forwarded to Toledo for the
fair this week. It is probable this
fair will be repeated next year
prior to the county fair.
Newport
The forty O.A.C. students that
have been training for football at
the Ocean Hill beach for two weeks
left for home Saturday morning.
Dr. E. W. Stewart, the athlteic
director, caid it was an ideal place
for athletics and football drill as
well es a most delightful place to
spend a Summer's outing. If the
forty husky, Btalwart students he
had along with him is a sample of
the physic training the college can
do, then Dr. Stewart has just cause
to be proud cf tiis work. Dr.
Stewart wishes to extend thanks to
Captain Stewart cf the Life Saving
Crew for the many courtesies re
ceived at his hands while at New
port. The Ahwaneda came -in with a
full cargo of freight for Alsea,
Newport and Toledo. The Mirene
also came in with a full cargo of
freight for the above named places
including Siletz. The Nenamosha
does the freighting Irom here to
the Siletz which is a great accom
modation to the people who live in
that country
Nearly all the gasoline fish boats'
were cut Saturday trolling for sal-i
mon in the ocean. A good many
salmon were caught. It was fine
sport. This is another attraction
for visitors. The salmon in great
numbers are lji ig at the mouth of
the . bay waiting for a big rain to

The excursion train Sunday
brought in over one hundred pas
sengers who spent the day most
pleasantly strolling cn the beach
in 'search of agates, bathing in the
surf or nataturium.
Newport has but little fog at
any season of the year and espec
ially in the Fall when the Willa
mette valley has from six to eight
weeks of fog when we have none.
About four hundred of Newport's
beat citizens represented Newport
Day at the County Fair at Toledo
on Wednesday. The exhibits in
the pavillion of fruits and vegeta
bles, needle work and school work
was good. Especial mention should
be made of the vegetables and
fruit of Mr. Derby and Mr. Trow
bridge, also the school exhibits of
the public schools of Toledo and
Newport. The stock exhibit is the
poorest we have had and one reason
for this is the stock brought to the
fair would have to be tested for
tuberculosis. This is one reason
the farmers did not like to bring
their stock, and another reason is
the expense. It is thought more
money should be nutinto premiums
to encourage the farmers and less
into fake shows. .

Flying Machine
at the Fair
The first flying machine to ever
reach Lincoln county has been here
during the Fair this week, and ful
filled the promise of the Fair man
agement to the people of the
county. While the air craft was
not here the entire four days of the
fair as had been expected our peo
ple know that the 'management and
Aviator Steele did everything pos
sible to fulfill that premise, and.
are satisfied,
Edward W. Steele, the "bird
man" left Cous bay Monday morn
ing in a hydro-aeroplane. He made
three stops between Coos bay and
Toledo, one at Mapleton in Lane
county, caused by running into a
heavy wind; again at Gardner,
when he struck a heavy rain, and
again at Waldport. When off the
mouth of the Alsea bay Tuesday
morning at 11 o'clock the carburet
or of his engine became loose and
swinging around was struck by the
propeller, rendering- the engine
helpless. Fortunately Mr. Steele
was high enough in the air that he
was able to safely glide into Altsea
bay and make a landing at Wald
port, where repairs were made to
the damaged machine, and at 6:10"
o'clock Wednesday evening he re
sumed his flight to Toledo, covering;
32 miles in exactly 25 minutes,
making a most perfect landing in
the bay at .this place, making a
world's record for over-the-ocean
flights. His daring feat is now be
ing heralded all over the world,
and in the meantime the Lincoln
county fair is getting, a largo share,
of .the advertising occasioned by
the feat.
When Mr. Steele arrived in To
ledo every man. woman and child
was out to greet him, and were re
warded by seeing him make one of
the most perfect landings ever
made by an air craft. When he
came in sight he wa3 at an altitude
of 3000 feet, and after taking a'
.circle over town made a. beautiful
glide into the bay.
The following morning, as had
been announced, he with his me
chanic, H. N. Richards, made a
trial trip to sco that everything
was in working order. Then at 12
o'clock Mr. Steele started on an
other trip into the air. Ho flew
down the river about a mil 3. turned
and was intending to asiend higher
into the air and tly high over tv.e
ftir grounds when just below tha
mouth of Depot elough hi3 machine
was caught in a treacherous current
of air and before he could right the
machine dove into the bay, damag
ing the machine to such an extent
that further flights here was made
impossible.
Aside from a cold ducking Mr.
Steele suffered none whatever from
his plunge. Motor boats rushed to
the rescue and towed the disabled
craft back to town where it will be
dismantled and returned to Cooa
bay by rail.
In his daring flight from Coca
bay Mr. Steele covered 109 miles
over the ocean and 73 miles over
land, and at times he was 5000
feet n the air and traveling at the
rate of ninety miles an hour.
Both Aviator Steele and Mechanic
Richards are princely young men
and have made many friends during;
their short stay in Toledo, who
sympathize with them in their dam
ages, but congratulate Mr. Steele
that his little fall was not a serious
one.
