Newport
Died, at his home in Newport,
May 8, 1914, John F. Ruysc. seed
66 years, 5 months and 21 days.
Mr. Royse waB born in Illinois in
1847, came to Oregon by ox team
in 1864 and settled in the Waldo
Hills. He attended school at the
Willamette University and grad
uated from that institution in 1871.
He went to Eastern Oregon and
was married in 1872 to Miss Eliza
Smith. While in Eastern Oregon
he engaged in farming, stock rais
ing and teaching. Came to New
port in 1907, where he lived up to
the time of his death. He is sur
vived by his wife and two sons, W.
0 who lives in Newport and Ivan
C. who lives in Portland. The
funeral services were, conducted by
I?ev. Charles T. Hurd and the m
terrmcnt took place in the Eureka
cemetery.
A citizens' mass meeting was
held in the banquet room of the
Oddfellow Hall Tuesday evening.
The meeting was called by the
chairman of the school board for
the purpose of discussing matters
pertaining to the public s-hool and
its management. The meeting was
organized by electing Dr. F. M.
Carter chairman and Charles Brad
shaw secretary A number of
speeches were made, all speaking
of the good condition of the public
school and of the good work being
done by the teachers A few re
marks were made by different per
sons tending to show that the
Presbyterian church was trying to
dominate and teach sectarionfcm to
the pupils. But thi idea was
shown to be false One speaker
thought because the graduating
exercises of the pupils of the High
School were to bo held in the
church that this had a tendency
to teach religion and seetarinism
But when it was explained the
reason the the church was chosen
it was because it was a lighter,
bigger and better place to bold
the exercises. It was also ex
plained there was nothing really in
the criticism. Newport is proud
of her public school and it dis
pleases any of her citizens to know
that anything should be done to
Impair its usefulness.
Fred Dawson, Dr. Bilieu. Fred
Weatherford and Jackey Arnold all
of Albany went Sunday in the
launch Fearlets to Elk City and put
in the day fishing. They spoke of
having a nice time; caught a lama
number of beautiful salmon trout,
some of them sixteen inches long
and of the spendid dinner they had
at the Hotel Dixon. They spoke
of the beauties of the little valley
at Elk City and the surrounding
country where the air is so soft
and balmy and where the beautiful
Elk and Yaquina rivers come to
gether. This has been and is now
one of the beBt places in the
country for trout fishing. A few
miles up the Big Elk from here and
you come to Drift creek, a stream
that always abound with speckled
beauties. In going to Drift ceek
you ride in hacks or autos. The
road is good in Summer.
A petition has been circulated and
aigned by the requisite number of
voters asking the County Court to
call a special election to vote to
bond the county for $190,000 to be
used to build hard surface roads.
This is impracticable and the
county cannot afford to do it and I
am quite sure the people will not
vote the bunds. It costs $1,500 to
hold an election. This year there
will be three elections held which
will cost the county $4,500. Much
of this expense is needless. It is
the cuorose of the Court and the
people to get down to a cash basis
in the expenditure of the county's
money, and dollars in cash will go
nearly us far as two on credit in
the paying for county work.
Judge Fogarty was a Newport
visitor during tho week.
Several of the county candidates
were here interviewing their con
stituonts in relation to their can
didacy, When the election is over
a large number of the defeated
candidates will go up the famed
"Salt Creek." One of the boys
said he had been up this creek sev
eral times and lie knew the good
camping places. He will pilot the
vessel and they expect to have a
good time. This mystic river has
been the source of much 'amuse
ment by those who have traveled it.

The dredge has done good work
here. We now have a channel
from above town to the mouth of
the river and the bar is of sufficient
depth to allow vessels drawing to
fourteen feet of water to cross in
and come to to Toledo for lumber
and other freight. We hate to see
the dredge leave, the officers and
members of her crew have all
proven to be competent men and
are a jolly lot of good fellows.
We hope this same crew will be
with the dredge when we have
occasion to have her back on Ya
quina in the future.
The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that while
it has no difficulty in securing suf
ficient female stenographers and
typewriters to meet the needs of
the departments at Washington, the
supply of male eliiriblca has not
been equal to the demand. Young
men who are at least 18 years of
age and who are willing to accept
the usual entrance salaries, which
urc 5810 and $1)00 a year, have
excellent opportunities for appoint
ment. While the entrance salaries
are low, advancement ia reasonably
rapid to those meriting it. The
examinations, which any competent
stenographer should bo able to pass, '
arc held each month in tho year, I
except December, ut tho principal :
cities of the United States. Full '

of bonding the county for one
hundred and ninety thousand dol

of permanent roads within the
county.
Bonds to run for ten years and
draw six per cent, interest.
Sec. 2, Chap. 13, General Laws
of Oregon, for 1913. makes it man
datory on the County Court to cull
the election.
Sec. 4 requires the County Court
to debignate the roads to be built
or improved and the amount of
money to be expended un each road.
The Court adjourned its May

It is desired that every City
Council, Commercial Club, Taxpay
ers' League, all of the Granges
and every Road District in XUt
County send committees to advise

This is an important matter and
should be thoroughly discussed, so
