James H. Mattice, a retired
merchant from Vancouver, Wn.,
liis wife, daughter and nephew,
tame in Sunday on the excur
sion train and went to the Nico
lai hotel. In the evening the
party went to the Woodford
icstaurant for 'a lunch. This
vas about 7 p. m. At 8 o'clock
they returned to the hotel. In
tlarting down the stairway at
the back of the building leading
into the hotel. Mr. Mattice made
a false Btep and fell to the bot
tom of the stairs, a distance of
ubout twelve feet. When his
nephew got to him he was dead.
IliH wile thought when he made
ihe step he mistook the step of
the stairs for the floor of the
hotel. It was cloudy and some
rain was falling and it was quite
dark at that place. Death was
sudden. There were no bruises
on the body and the neck was
not broken. Drs. Mmthorn and
Carter were called and they
thought his death must have
been caused by heart failure or
a broken blood vessel in the
bra in. I ie was sixty-three- years
old, large and fleshy. I ie is sur
vived by Lis wife and daughter
who were completely prostrated
by I'i.i sudden death. Mis body

The public school commenced
Tuesuay with 223 pupils, 43 of
these in the High School. The
school is bupplied with a full
corps of teachers and it will tak?
a pretty frill purse to cany it
on, but the trustees believe it
will pay to have a first class
school. Money paid o..t in this
way is not lost but comes back

A delegation of Southern Pa
cific officials visited Newport
Tuesday evening and took sup
per at the Abbey. The party
was composed of the following
gentlemen : ' J. K. Wcatherford,
John Stevens, General Superin
tendent Campbell, Mr. Spraul,
president of the Southern Pa
cific Company, and two other
gentlemen whose names I did
not learn. Mr. Spraul had never
visited Newport before and he
was much pleased with the city,
its many interesting attractions
and its splendid harbor and
beautiful bay. The party re
turned to the Valley the same
evening on their special.
Judge Wolverton, of the U. S.
District Court, is spending his
vacation at Newport, the guest
of the Abbey.
Charles Litchfield, mall clerk
on the run between Portland
and Seaside, was a visitor here
Tuesday. He had been to see
his farm at Devil's Lake. This
Is a beautiful spot in Lincoln
county.but the devil Is not there,
although the Indians claim to
see him in the lake occasionally.
It Is estimated a third more
people have visited Newport
this season than ever before
and the automobile travel has
been quadrupled. Some of the
auto people complained of the
bad conditon of portions of the
road between here nnd tho Val
ley. This is especially true of
the Pioneer Mountain road.
This mountain road, before an
other season opens, should have
a broader and better grade made
over It. Some complaints were
also made of tho narrow grades
at other points on the road. This
should be remedied.
Newport occupies a union
position, being collected both
with rail and water transporta
tion. The more waterways we
have onencd will be better for
the railroads, as it will make
more business and Increase tho
population. Newport will soon
have a splendid city dock of 600
feet and the benefit of an open
sea. With co-operation, energy
and push we can get govern
ment aid to deepen and broaden
the channel from Newport to
Elk City. The mill business is
mainly at Toledo, and under the
new management the pay roll
will be increased to about $30,
000 per month. The great body
of timber on the Siletz will be
taken out this way over the Ya
quina bar, because it can b3
done so much cheaper.

age of C2 years. He was hid
away in the Tidewater Cemetery
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
Kev. Silas Howell of Ocean View
conducting the ceremony. Mr.
McMillan had been a resident of
thii community over 27 years and
was greatly respected by everyone
and we feel we have lost a dear
friend and a good neighbor. We
all extend our deepest sympathy to
the bereft family. He leaves a
widow and five sons and many
other relatives to mourn his ab
sence. But he has only crossed
the hill that's left for us to climb,
that breaks tho echo and the thrill
of life's eternal rhyme. Another
cne to join with those who have
gone on before, to welcome you
with open arms when you, too,
reach that shore.
