S3 fomtip mil VI.. VOLUME 22 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1914. NUMBER Newport J. K. and Mrs. Weatherford, Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Woodcock and D. M. McLaughlin came over from Albany Saturday and spent Sunday at Newport, guests of 'The Abbey. Mr. and Mrs. Mapes have dis posed of their agate store here and moved to Medford. This is done for the benefit of Mrs. Mapes' health. The Bandon came in Monday morning and went direct to To ledo. The Mirene came In also with a cargo of freight for the merchants. The game laws are so strict and so numerous that it is al most impossible to keep them. G rover Voight killed a lot of ducks and wanted to send them to the Valley by express to his friends, but the agent would not express them unless they were tagged, and he could not get the tags from James Gatens, the game warden, bo the birds were not expressed and will be a loss to Mr. Volet. The law provides that the game warden or his deputies should keep the tags on hand "during the open season. Mr. Voiet tendered the money tn the warden to Day for the tags but he would not receive it, Thus the matter rests. Mr, Voigt says he will report the case the the State game warden and see what he says about it, A storv comes from Beaver creek that a large bull elk ran throueh the field of Sam Hill last week, chased by a pack of does. Mr. Hill tried to get a pic ture of the elk and dogs but failed. It so happened that Mr, Gatens was there and saw the chase. He put in after the elk caught up with him and clubbed the dogs off and saved the life of the elk. This quite a reat ana should be a feather in the cap of the game warden. An elk when at bey is a dangerous animal to handle. He will fight. A few weeks ago a young man that lives near the mouth of Siletz caught a fawn that had been chased by dogs into the ocean. The dogs would have killed the fawn had it not been for the young man coming to Its rescue. After the boy had kept the fawn for a few months it was reported to the game warden. The re sult was the deer was ordered sent to the state game farm at Corvallis. The boy got no pay either for catching or keeping the deer. I believe It would be a good plan to pass a law not to let any more game be killed or fish caught from our rivers for a period of five years. This would give the game a chance to in crease and our bays and rivers to fill up again with fish. This coast country is so rough and mountainous that much of it is uninhabited and uninhabitable it would be Just as well to have It filled up with game and fish. The destructive animals, Buch as wild cats, cougars and bear might be killed. The white man in this line is not as provident as the Indian. The red man al ways looks after the game to see that none of it is needlessly killed or the fish wantonly des troyed. Thursday evening Mrs. Albert Bears came to Newport to con sult a physician In regard to her four months old child. She lives Borne 14 miles north of Eddyvllle on a homestead. She and her husband started out Tuesday to meet the train. The first day she carried the sick baby in her arms six miles to her father's, stayed all night and the next day started across a very rought mountain trail to meet the train at Eddyvllle. The dis tance was eight miles. She car ried the baby all the way except two miles. Mr. Bears earned the baby the laBt two miles. Not being able to meet the train at the station they had to flag the train between stations. Mrs. Bears, seeing the train coming, flagged it by waving her . red sweater. This rather angered the conductor but when he saw the woman mlth the sick baby In her arms he cheerfully stop ped the train and took, her aboard. The baby Boon got COUNTY NEWS better and went home. This was a heroic deed and should have a place in the history of the true deeds and heroic achiements of the pioneer wo1 men of the West, . , . f j - In my ast letter I spoke of , Wm. Smith of Grants Pass com ing to Newport to make his home and that he was the son of Hazer Hazard Smith, an hon ored and highly respected pion eer that lived on the Bay in the early seventies.
