NEWPORT The steamer Patsy arrived Bafely In Newport Wednesday morning after weathering the 'heavy storm of several days dur ation. All hands were glad to ! get saiely to port as it was a hard trip. - The city election caused more than the usual amount of inter est because of the standing of the candidates running for -the Various offices. Mr. Jones who received his nomination from the people, is well known, having lived most of his life in Lincoln county and I believo it can be truly said of him that he has done more for the advancement of county than any other one man living in it. He was mayor tof the city of Independence for two terms and was also mayor of Toledo two or three terms, and the people who lived in these cities a.t the time say they had a steady prosperous growth un der his administration. Mr. Walrad filed his name and was placed upon the ticket by his own initiative. The Amer ican system of public assemblys, where the people meet to discuss public questions and to make nominations for the various pub lic offices seems to have passed out of existance. Now under the new system every one who wants to run for office, whether he is qualified or not, nominates himself. The people are not consulted in the matter, but the candidate Is the Judge of his own qualifications that is to say he recommends himself and in this way a great many cheap men are foisted upon the public. The right of petition also appears to have gone into disuse, this also was one of the cherished Amer ican rights. The logic of Bacon was- to try all things and hold fast to that which is good. This is the ex perience of the world. Age does not destroy the val ue of truth. The following city officers were duly elected for the ensue ing year: Mayor, W. G. Walrad ; Recorder, D. T. Harding; Treas urer, Arthur Wing; Marshal, A. J. Brown. For Councilmen, first rard, George Savage, second ward, It. F. Baker, third ward, Charles Roper. Mr. Schwartz, the newly elected assessor, was councilman In the third ward, his place will be filled by appoint ment. Mr. Walrud, the newly elected mayor, was councilman in the second ward and his pdace also will De filled by ap pointment. The interest of Newport Is growing more Im portant every year and it is of the greatest importance that we have a strong city government and that the interests of the city will be carefully guarded from grafts, waste of money or care less and Indifferent administra tion. The storm Saturday night was the hardest we have had for many years. The wind blew about 80 miles per hour com ing from the southwest. Some damage was done to the city. The front of the store building on Front street just South of the Newport House was blown out. At the Copeland docks the large float was broken loose, parting three cables. The two launches, Fearless and Mud Hen, broke loose and drifted 6ome distance up the bay but were secured the next morning with out any damage. At Agate Beach a cottage that belonged to Mr. Vader had the roof blown oft. Drift and logs were strewn along the beach for many miles. No other damage reported. The grand oall given on Thanksgiving Day by the Rod and Gun Club was a great suc cess. The hall was decorated with beautiful flowers and em blems and the masquerades were the best that ever appear ed in Newport. The hall though large was crowded with merry makers coming from Elk City, Toledo, and Waldport. Over a hundred couples were on the floor at once. The music was fine, being furnished by the orchestra from Yaquina. A great number of nice prizes were awarded, but as I did not keep the list I cannot give them now. . The supper was Berved at mid night and it was superb. - Tho Women of Woodcraft prepared and served the repast. . The members of the club had killed about fifty ducks and they were baked with dressing. I tell you they were delicious! The cooking was under the direction of Mrs. Schumacher and that is a guarantee of qual ity. One hundred and fifty per sons took supper. This is the first duck supper that was ever given by a Rod and Gun Club in the state. Married at the residence of the officiating clergyman, Rev. G. E. Pratt, H. 0. Boynton and Miss Mary Sparks, both of Eddy ville. The young couple will spend their honeymoon at New port after which they will make their home on Mr. Boynton's beautiful farm near Eddyville. Their many friends and neigh bors wish them a long and happy, life, with many joys and no sor rows. Attorney W. E. Gwynn and family will movo to Puyallup to make their future home where Mr. Gwynn will continue the practice of law. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Gwynn wish them success and happi ness in their future home. , FIECLES CREEK Fred Schleddler made a busi ness trip here accompanied by M. E. Walker. P. H.

LINCOLN COUNTY CAN PAY OFF ITS WARRANT DHBT UNDER NEW LAW The Lincoln county court can lawfully audit and direct the payment of about $66,000 in warrant Indebtedness at the De cember term, and, if it does, the county clerk can lawfully issue warrants therefor, First Assist ant Van Winkle of the attorney general's office told District At torney Stewart in an opinion Wednesday. The district attor ney wished to know If the 6 per cent limitation amendment would interfere. Van Winkle says in Mis opin ion that the prohibition against indebtedness by counties in the performance of duties of obli gations imposed by law, only applies to indebtedness "here after created" and not. to such debts outstanding at the time of its adoption and that this applies as well to the Issuance of war rants for payment of such debts. Consequently it is not mater ial, so far as this const it ni!on:ii provision is concerned, what is the amount of indebtedness of jthe county incurred in such ( manner and existing at the time !of its adoption, but the limita tion expressed in the amendment upon tne power of creating pub lic indebtedness applies only to such debts of the county created after said amendment takes ef fect," says Van Winkle in the opinion. "The limitation upon voluntary or contractional in debtedness has been in effect every since the constitution was Urst aaonted. and rnnnonnonllv is not changed in any way by uie recent amendment, except that involuntary debta. 'h proa f. ter created,' are to be counted wua voluntary debts in arriving at the total amount to whirh h limitation applies outstanding at anv tlmp" In answer to an inquiry from District AttOmev Dpvpra nf I .nna county, Van Winkle said that the j constitutional limitation would not apply to present indebted ness is provided for in the tax levy now being made. I It is apparent that if the tax ;nas neen levied, although not yet collected, warrants there from WOllld not Iia rnnBlrtoi'oil on indebtedness, especially if there 1 1 a special lunu in course or col j lection from which any partic ular ooiigation Is to be paid.
