Newspaper Page Text' - y.F:'""'Hv""r VOLUME 23 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 21st,. 1916. NUMBER 48. NEWS News of each .Community Gathered each week by Our Hustling Associate Editors COUNTY NEWPORT We have had about four inches of snow on the ground for about;, one week. The ground has been frozen, and coasting Is fine. The public school children have- put in as much time as possible enjoying this delightful sport. The high school boys and girls went out to the Jessup place a mile out of town and coasted with their Bleds till midnight. This is a treat the pupils scarcely ever get in. this country and they are making the most of it. It was bo cold that a good many of the little birds froze to death. There must have been 5,000 birds in Newport and eyerybody fed . them. They were gentle and came right around the door to bo fed. I don't think anyone tried to hurt them. The child ren call it the "Finley feed," the Btate biologist, Mr. Finley, when here with his moving pictures lectured ,to. the school children upon the subject of preserving bird, fish and animal life. The teachers of the j3ublic Bchools have taken the matter upwith the children and now the little birds seam to be protected all over the Btate. No one tries to harm them and public senti ment is so aroused that game and fish is being protected in the same way. In 18G1-2 we had just about such a snow storm as this. It laid on nearly a month and then went off with a warm rain. The whole Willam ette valley was flooded. The Willamette river with its tribu taries wera all out of their banks, houses, barns, fences and hay floated downlhe river. Sometimes chickens were on the hay crowing, and people were on top of the houses and barns shouting for help. Small boats and larger boats were busily en gaged in . getting people to places of safety. One family was clinging te the tops of trees near Corvallis and were taken off by small boats. Portland "was nearly drowned out Front street and up to Third was sub merged. The loss In property was. large. The snow in the Valley at that time was from one to two feet deep. It is now all the way from twelve to eighteen Inches and if It goes off quickly with a warm rain we may ex pect a repetetion of the same thing. Stock at that time died by tne thousands. People cut timber that, the cattle might browse on the limbs and brush. This great snow storm and flood will be remembered by old tim ers. Hy not being prepared Lincoln county will lose a good many thousands of dollars in the loss of sheep, horses and cattle. The Elk City scribe thinks It a nice thing to have 'the Sunday closing law. Judge Gantenbein did not decide It. Put It up to the people at bhe next election to vote on. This is right. We don't want to reverse the wheels of progress and go back one hundred and fifty years and take up an old Blue law like that. If our Elk City scribe would brighten up a little and be more progressive he would not get scared at owls. The owls Bit still, blink their eyes and look wise. Some people do that, too The owl has. always figured largely with superstitious people. With the Indian he Is a bird of 111 omen. When he comes around at night hooting the In dian believes he is a doctor and is giving them bad medicine and soon some member of the tribe will dio. This keeps them al ways afraid, thinking something dreadful was going to happen. I would like to - hear from Skookum. He may be a big chief and have a half dozen klutchmen In the happy hunting ground and has gone back to that' - - ROSE LODCE Everybody In Rose Lodge are' busy making Ice cream, feeding the birds and shoveling snow off their walks, and some are -sporting around In their one- iL 6 '""r'lfr "u"lc-;.-CJVa;i8tBi,e"l"ns am carrier. . - i- time hunting, but usually gets Mr -Ftrariiov nnri Mr ciDnor. !haf ih Httio f v- of Portland were visitors in this vicinity last Monday and 'Tues day.

This dance will be the wl idup of the Orchestra, as the boys expect to disband at that time. This dissolving of this organiza tion will be regretted by the peo ple of Toledo.
