amount of Chinook salmon caught

that caught last year.
There is considerable controversy
between the City of Waldport and
the County Court over the condition
of the roads leading into Waldport
from the beach and from the south.
The Court denies all responsibility
in the matter while the Attorney
General says the jurisdiction is with
the Court. Perhaps the Attorney
General is wrong, but if so why did
the County Court acceDt a deeded
right of way and then refuse to
open it? Let us be at least con
sistent in this matter.

Aviator Steele could not return to

The sudden death of Mrs. Clarence
Barclay was a great shock to us all,

Aside from the fact that nine out

tended the Fair, the Baseball team
made a clean sweep of the series,
winning the undisputed champion

the fact that our school got away
with a goodly number of prizes.
Dr. M. F. Clausius, the Agency

Newport
Last Friday Captain Carner and
W. K. Royal of the Ollie S.. while
on their way to the halibut beds
when off Yaquina Head about four
miles, came in sight of a dead
whale and around the whale feed
ing upon it and fighting over it
they saw four large blue man-eating
sharks. When they came close
to the whale the Captain, with his
crew, left the Ollie S. and got into
the little life boat and went closa
up to the whale. One of the sharks
got between the little boat and the
whale and stuck his head up out of
the water with his big mouth open
near the Capt: in, who then took ud
his 30-30 rife an shot the shark
twice in the head at close range.
This stunned the shark and caused
him to float on the surface of the
water, so the Captain, with the help
of the crew, placed a rope
around the tail of the shark and
towed him in to Newport, where it
was hoisted by the Ahwaneda to the
dock, where it was seen by nearly
every person in the city. The shark
would weigh, according to Captain
Morse, five thousand pounds. Its
body is sixteen feet and ten inches
long, eight feet across the body,
with a mouth two feet wide, and
by actual count the man-eater has
176 teeth. Has seven rows of teeth
around his mouth. The first rows
of leeth are covered with the j
gumos and tney only come out
when he is feeding. The shark
feeds lying on its back. If a man
should ever get into his capacious
mouth - he never gets out again.
The teeth are like the spear of an
Indian arrow. He sets his teeth
solid when he wants to use them.
This specie of shatk is hardly ever
seen in this part of the ocean.
Captain Garner had the shark
skinned and the jaws cleaned and
the skin will be sent to Portland to
be mounted, when it will be placed
in jome museum, where it will be
an object of interest to hundreds of
people.

waneda has gone to Portland for

go to Siletz with a cargo uf freight
just a3 soon as the bar calms down
a little.

with theX?oquille in tow and took a
large amount of hav and other
freight for the Porter Bros, at

We have had a heavy storm at
sea and the ocean has bean rough,

that all vessels can resume their
work. The bay has been full of
foam as an evidence of the agita
tion of the waters outside.
Lee Williams is putting two nice
bungalows on his lots on Case
