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.
