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

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,

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. Your linotype

asleep or not having his glasses
on put it "Hog Smith." I never
