Waldport
The Oregonian of October 9th
Bava "the petition for the Waldport
election (local .option) was filed
Saturday afternoon by a Newport
saloonman who is managing the
x 5 ' il a rw t 1
wet campaign in mai city. " ine
citizens of Waldport resent this
meddling of an outsider and are
more determined than ever to keep
their city dry.
Webster says a controversy is
"the expression or maintainence of
a contrary opinion". This is ex
actly as we betore stated. That
the difference in opinion has been
expressed there is no doubt from
the numerous letters written by
the County Judge and that it has
been maintained is also self evident.
The matter came up over the con
dition of the road leading to the
south of Waldport. It has been
impassible Bince last Winter and re
peated demands were made upon
the local supervisor who asked in
structions from the County Court
end was instructed to let the road
alone. The city council took up
the matter and the Mayor wrote to
the County Judge urging in a gen
tlemanly manner that the road be
opened for travel. In all the cor
respondence the Mayor of Wald
port has bad the one idea of secur
ing for the people what the Attor-!
ney General says is their rights in
the matter. The County Judge
failed to mention that the Attorney
General was against him. We
still maintain that the matter is a
controversy.
Friday, the 10th, was celebrated
by the local school pupils as Panama
Canal Day and approDriate exer

through town, accompanied by the
ringing of bells and the blowing cf
whistles. In the midst of the songs,
which were given in the business
section a Waldporter was heard to
remark, "an outside salocn man
would put a saloon under the very
roses of these young people."
Several gold claims have been
taken at Cape Perpetua. Those

Tie Game
Siletz vs. Toledo
The football game between Siletz
and Toledo on the local ground last
Sunday resulted in a no-score game,
though Toledo out-clayed Siletz
and had the ball in Siletz territory
nearly all the time. Several times
the ball was inside of Siletz' ten
yard line and once was within one
yard of a touchdown. Carson for
Toledo made a droD kick for a coal
which most everyone thought was
successful, but the referee decided
otherwise.

Duck Season
Now Open
A number of hunters have asked
us regarding the opening of the
duck season. It seems there are
not many who know that the duck
season opened the first of October,
the change having been made by
the Federal Government. The law
is also changed in thi3 respect:
That it shall be unlawful to shoot
ducks before sun-uo or after sun
down. Under the state law hunters
were allowed to hunt an hour be
fore sun-up and an hour after sun
down. Hollingsworth has just received a
big invoice of blankets, quilts, com
forts, etc.
