Rock Creek
Your bumble correspondent no
ticed by the Sentinel that F. F.
Foster of Rock Creek was arrested,
found guiltv and fined for striking
one Mrs. Edith Birdwell, and that
His Honor assisted the county fund
to the tune of 60 bucks. I am
rather shorten law but have always
understood that when a person ap
peals a case the "county fund as
. sistance" is not paid over' to the
eounty, but is allowed to remain and
jingle in the jeans of the defendant
until tried by the Circuit Court
and found guilty or acquitted. I
wish to say that Mr. Foster is well
known in this country and has al
ways proven himself a gentleman,
and, knowing both parties as we do
we can hardly understand hew a
jury could return a verdict of
.guilty unless it wai for the purpose
of "assisting the county fund." ' In
such case the old aayng that "J.
P. (Justice of the Peace) stands
for judgment for-the plaintiff,"
is more truthful than it appears.
One "bora" on Foster. Oh! well,
he should worry. Two more shakes
coming.
Joe Streitmatter is working; for
Henri Zebinden the fine rainy days.
Hoxie Simmons is hauling the
door and .windows for Merchant

Rock Creekers, have you regis
tered? If not. why not?
- Three more weeks of school here

Frank Updike left Elk City Thurs
day and will visit friends and rela

25th to go to Alaska. Frank leaves
many friends who wish good luck.
The people of Elk City were
startled last Saturday at the dis
appearance of Mr. Daniel and Mrs.
R. King, but they returned Satur
- day night as Mr. and Mrs. Daniel.
We all wish them mueb happiness
and prosper it.
Newport
The Ahwaneda, Mirene and J En
terprise have all crossed the bar
this week with full cargoes of
freight'for Newport and Toledo.
The Enterprise is running in con
nection with the Mirene. Ihe
freighting buisnesa is now almost
entirely done by water, because it
is much cheaper. 'The people ' of
Newport have been wise enough
to keep the water front cut of the
bands of corporations and now she
will always have the benefit of
competition, and will therefor
always have cheaper rates. The
consumption of merchandise in this ;
section has more than doubled dur
ing the pest five years; consequent
ly it stands to reason that our
waterways should be kept open and
free.
Plans and specications are now
being prepared to build this Sum
mer a modern high school building
on the plat of land in the central
part of the city bought some two
years ago. of nearly two acres of
ground. This is a beautiful .loca
tion and Newport may well be
proud of tha interest the people
tuke in education and the building
and beautifying of the city.
On last Saturday a case was
brought before his honor Judge
David Harding, the City Recorder,
wherein J. W. Flowers was arrested
on a complaint brought by John
LoomiB, administrator of the es
tate of Blakley, Taft & Co., charg
ing the defendant with using pro
fane, and indecent language in the
city of Newport. It appears the
plaintiff in. settling up the estate
found two jack screws charged to
the defendant. When Mr. Loom is
asked about the screws the defend
ant told him that the screws were
borrowed and that he had taken
them back to the owner. The evi
dence showed in the trial that the
plaintiff went into the house where
the defenant was at work and de
manded the screws again and in
timated that the defendant was
trying to steal them. This so en
raged the defendant ' that he told
Mr Loomia that he was a d--d liar
and to get ' tout of bin housti and
off his land. The defendant was
represented by W. E. Gwycn and
Will Embry and the plain
tiff by Dr. Berry It was a jury
trial. The Judge presided with
much dignity and the case was ably
argued.. on both aides. Newport,
perhaps, has never had such a flow
of forenBie eloquence as occured
on this occasion, especially by the
attorney for the plaintiff. The
jury deliberated three or four
hours and could not agree, stand
ing four for acquittal and two for
conviction. The costs will be about
$50 which will fall on the city.
The case should never have been
brought as it was not of sufficient
importance, or if brought the
plaintiff should have put up bonds
for the costs. No wonder tax
payers complain

The p oposition to bond the
county for road building met with
small favor in Waldport and vi
cinity. Uncertainty as to where
the money will be spent and objec
tion to the expense of a special
election are the main objections.
Tbe general sentiment is that the
matter should be thoroughly dis
cussed before it Is voted upon and
that the November election is the
proper time for it to be brought
before the people.
Surveyor Wygant of Newport
passed through Waldport on his
way home from Lane county where

with a load of freight for the local
merchants and saloon fixtures and
supplies for Chas. Fosner.
A petition is being circulated
here asking the County Court to
appropriate $300 for the Waldoort
Tidewater road. Also one asking
the Forest Service for a like sum
for the same purpoie. It is the
opinion of thoso who have looked
over the ground that this sum will
be sufficient to build the road.
This road if completed will be of
great benefit not only to Waldport
and the south end of Lincoln
county but to the whole county, as
it furnishes a new lino of communi
cation with the outside world.
