Newspaper Page Texto 1 VOLUME T:2 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13th, 1914. NU?lDER39 Cf TNTV NPAAQ Ncws of eiu'h 'Community Gathered eacli J Ul 1 I VfO week by Our Rustling Associate Editors 5 V5 Newport Rev. Chas. T. Hurd and fam ily departed Tuesday morning to make their home in Portland. Mr. Hurd will be assistant pastor of the FirBt Presbyterian church . in that city. ' Some thirty of the members and friends came to the wharf to see them off and to wish them happiness an pros perity. Just before the boat started all joined in singing that . good old hymn "Blessed Be the Tie" which was sung with that sweet spirit that impresses ono with the beauty of love and friendship; Mr. Hurd, has been pastor here for altout five years and during that time the chin eh has grown and prospered. .Mr. Hurd is popular with the people and not like some minsters, who preach tV'-u big sermons first and gradually get less until they sound like pop guns. Mr. Hurd's sermons and congrega tions got better and larger all the time. He is a great favor ite among the young people and did much to organize and keep them at work along Christian lines. Thenew pastor to take his place has not been elected yet but will be as soon as pos sible. James Gatens, fish and game warden,brought a case from Sal mon river, wherein two young men by the name of Thompson (were charged with violating the fish laws by setting nets across the river three miles above the mouth of Salmon river. The case was tried Monday morning before Justice Berry. The evi dence showed that the Thomp son brothers bad nothing to do with setting the nets, neither did the evidence show that thev owned the nets. The case had been reported to the warden, .and on the 28th of October the warden, with two deputies, re paired to the spot for the pur pose of catching the offenders. About midnight on the 28th one of the deputies saw two men and a boat near where the net was. He demanded their names and they gave them as A. W. and C. W. Thompson, but there was no evidence to show that they set the net nor wanted to take it up. By this showing (he Court ruled that there was not sufficient evidence to convict so the case was dropped. The other case was that of Henry Curl, an In dian, who had an allotment on Salmon river. He was also ar rested for putting gill nets across the river and also for fishing without a license. Curl is a Tillamook Indian, his tribe have all died and he never sev ered his connection with the tribe, therefore he can fish any where on the reservation with out a license according to an cient custom. He Is a ward of the government and must do business through the superin tendent. He cannot rent his farm or buy a piece of machin ery without consulting the sup erintendent. When the allot ments were made the Indian could not get a patent or sell his land for a period of twenty five years. That time has not expired yet. The Secretary of the Interior Is to be the judge when an Indian is capable of taking care of himself, so I don't think Curl's case would come before a justice of the peace or a circuit judge. The state was represented by District Attorney J. F. Stewart and the defence ( by Will E. Gwynn. A musical entertainment was given by Mrs. I. N. Thompson at Colonial Theater Tuesday even ing. A good audience, a short program was rendered and a most pleasant evening was spent. Mrs. Thompson will give another entertainment next Tuesday evening at the same place. The election Is over and a goodly number of candidates are going up Salt creek to be salted down. Some of them havo been up there before and know the way, know the camp ing places, know where the fish and game are the most plentiful, where the birds sing the sweetest and the night hawk ncrcams the loudest and the flowers bloom . with the most fragrance. One other pleasant thing about the trip is there will be three ladies that go along to cheer the way. J. K. and Mrs. Weatherford, 'John Stevens and other railroad officials came in Saturday to , Bpenu ounuay at. iue ueu.cn, ue ing guests at The Abbey.
