NEWPORT .
At about 8 o'clocH Monday morning
Dorothy Holcomb,. the little four year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene
L. Holcomb, was - Unowned at West
Yaqulna, In the slough that enters the
Bay near the foot bridge. It appears
the child left the kitchen wheri If.
mother was preparing breakfast and
walked over the little foot bridge lead
ing from the Holcurab house to the
tramway. This little bridge is over
the slough and from this point the
child must have fallen nto the slough.
The mother missed ne child In a few
minutes and search was immediately
made and she was found about one
hundred yards from where she fell
In, floating on the water face down.
Chub Willis took her nut. of thi
water and.wlth the help of bis father ;
sod Mr. Miller, tried to resuscitate;
her but failed. About one quart of 1
' water came out of her mouth. She
never sank and this seems to be a
strange part of It. . telephone mes
sage was sent to Captain Stuart to
bring the life saving crew. The crew
promptly responded and for one hour
and a half worked with the modern
appliances, but could not resuscitate
her. Mr. Holcomb ilved at Mansfield,
Eastern Washington, where he has a
fine wheat farm. He came to Yaqulna
Bay for the benefit of the health of
his family. He first went to Nye
Creek, but the roar of the ocean and
the heuvy wind storms disturbed them
o they went to West Yaqulna, where 1
it is more sheltered. This was about
two weeks ago. The funeral services
were held at the Presbyterian Church
Tuesday at 11 a. m., conducted tv Rev.
George E. Pratt, pastor of the Church.
The interrment took place in the Eu
reka Cemetery. One lesson to be
learned by this sad accident Is, that
children should not have a play
ground where walks and bridges are
over the water. The wonder is more
children are not drowned.
Commissioner O. V.- Hurt returned
Saturday from Portland, where he
met with tbe state Highway commis
sion. Mr. Hurt said they had a good
session and the meeting was well rep
resented by the county officials of
every part of the state. Mr. Hurt
thinks that if those automobile en
thuslPBfs -ave their way about it in
building roads they will bankrupt the
state. He don't go much on bonded
debts.
The local institute held Saturday in
the High School auditorium by Sup
erintendent Goin was well attended
And very interesting. All the teachers
of Newport being present and took
part in the program. Several teach
ers from abroad wore present and
took part in the exorcises of the day.
Among them we no.id Prof. Blougb,
principal of the To-edo high school,
and Prof. W. C. Fischer of Yaqulna
and . Miss Branch, ceacher in the
"West Yaqulna public school. Several
Interesting papers were read and da
ussed. Tbe High School Glee Club
sang some very charming selections.
A motion was made to appoint a
committee to draw up a resolution
asking the County Court to appoint a
medical examiner for the schools of
the county. Prof. Blough is chairman
of this committee. I did not get the
names of the other members of this
committee. This service might be
done by the County Health Officer.
Tbe rearing and trantng of the chil
dren under the new system is being
taken out of the parents' hands and
placed In tbe teachers'. The home
lias been the corner stone of our civ
ilization, but now it is only the board
ing place for the cnlldren. It Is the
duty of the parents to wok after the
health of the children and, if neces
sary for the health and welfare of the
child, to have it examined once or
twice a year by a competent physician.
It wbs the contention of the teachers
at this institute that the children
were ' loaded down too much with
books; that the pupils were not
thorough in their studies; that the
more weighty studies, such as reading,
spelling and mathametics were neg
lected; that the essentials of an ed
ucation should be taught and tbe frills
and fads cut out; that the nobility of
labor should be impressed on the mind
of the pupil If he expects to succeed
in the world.. The Newport school
has a good corps of teachers and they
are doing good work. Prof. Artman
is well fitted for thw Important posi
tion he holds. He dasthe goodwill
and confidence of every teacher and
pupil in the school.
The Salado correspondent seems to
be grieved because the people of that
section are accused of killing salmon
during the spawning season. It has
- been reported that hundreds of sal
mon in the small streams and creeks
during the spawning season are shot
by the boys and girls just for the
amusement and the salmon are
thrown on the bank for the hogs to
feed on and for fertilizer. The warden
lias been on Big Elk river a number
of times but has not been able to
catch the offenders. When the war
den goes Into a section of the county
to catch law breakers he don't go
beating a gong as Hough he was at a
Chinese funeral; but he goes quietly
along and you would hardly know he
was around, but at such times the
boys seem to "smoll a mice" and keep
under cover.

Monday morning the Angel of
Death came suddenly and took from
our midst the dearly beloved daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Holcomb.
The traglo death of the little girl has
cast a doep shadow of sadness over the
entire community. It Is not definitely
known how the fatal accident oocurmd
but tho fact tbat the body, badly
bruised about the right shoulder, was
found floating faco downward In an
eddy in the slough Indicated that the
child's death was not due wholly to
drowning but that In falling
from the "bridge she had probably
struck on a log, rendorlng ber un
conscious before she ' reached the
water. The body was recovered by
Chester Willis a few yards from
the little girl's home, a Htiu mtta-
elght o'clock in the morning about '
fifteen minutes after the child had I
in oa uotiii niiKnuu Dy ner parents. Dr.
Faucett and the life saving crew were
