NEWPORT
The Women of Woodcraft and
the W. O. W. had a Joint instal
lation of officers at the the Rod
and Gun Club Hall Friday even
ing the 19th. inst. Mrs. Anna
Hawkins of Toledo, Grand Man
ager was present and installed
the officers into their respective
places for the ensuing term, giv
ing every charge In a very plain
and Impressive manner from
memory without using a single
-worn irom me ritual. She com
plemented the team work and
the splendid executive' ability of
Mrs. Shumacher In bringing the
Lodge up to such a high state
of efficiency and good works.
The team was well drilled under
the leadership of Captain Beryle
King. The following officers
were duly installed. P. G. Lora
Carter; G. N. Laura C. Schu
macher; Advisor, Eila Taylor;
Banker Euna Wing; Clerk Mar
tha Harding; Magician, Nina
Boyle; Attendant Edna M. John
son; I. S. Franklin M. Carter;
0. S. Heneretta Young; Man
agers, Warren Hartley, Lester
Martin, and Archie Miles; Mu
sician, Alic . Young. At the
close of these exercises, Guard
ian Neighbor, Laura C. S. Schu
macher, in behalf of the Lodge
presented Grande Manager, An
na Hawkins with a most beau
tiful boquet of flowers as a small
token of their appreciation of
her work and wise council. In
accepting the gift, Mrs. Hawkins
made a very neat impassive talk
thanking the neighbors for this
token of their love and friend
ship and hoped their lives might
be as beautiful as the flowers
She held in her hand and thai
their deeds of kindness and love
for the Order might be as last
ing as the eternal hills that sur
round us.
Past Council Commander Will
W. Green installed the following
officers for the ensuing term of
the W. O. W. Lodge. Council
Commander Geo. A. Coffleld; A.
L., E. E.Relslnger, Banker, It.
G. Baynard; Clerk Eddie Stock
er; Watchman Albert Stocker;
Sentry Arthur Wing; Managers.
H. F. JiuklnsA. E. Wilkinees;
Captain of team, W. M. Berry.
The team of the Women of
Woodcraft assisted in Installing
the Woodmen officers. This cer
emony was also very impressive
and interesting. After these ox
erclses were over the sumptuous
banquet was next Berved to
which all did ample justice.
The teaching and influence of
these fraternal orders have a
good deal to do in making the
people more social, more chari
table and less selfish, sordid and
gcasping after the almighty dol
lar that does not satisfy.
Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Abbey re
turned Tuesday evening from
their wedding tour of a good
many hundred miles. The hap
py couple was married Mn San
Francisco and went from there
to B. C. where Mr. Abbey is
largely interested In valuable
quartz mines and other valuablo
mining stocks and from there
they visited Portland where Mrs.
Abbey has many friend3 and
where she lived the greater part
of her life. She was for many
years at the head of the ladies
department of the Meier & Frank
Store. Mr. and Mrs. Abbey said
they had a most enjoyable trip
but were glad to get back home
again where the mild climate,
gentle breezes and the ronring
surf of tjie ocean as It. beats up
on the shore are always Interest
ing and attractive and when one
becomes familar with these
scenes and surroundings they
dont like to give them up.
Mr. Ed. Abbey has gone on a
trip to Yachats for a few days
of rest and pleasure.
Judge Fogarty who has been
quite ill Is now almost fully re
covered. The weather U fine. The sick
people are all getting well the
most of them had an attack of
prln which is common during a
cold ri'pII of weather. The birds
are mating nnd singing and
evtrjlLIng IndkaUa an early
spring. The travel Is Increasing
and we expect times will be bet
ter irom now on.

FIEGLES CREEK
Why not a Grange?
It listens good.. It seems to be
up to me to spring a new-old
Harlan wants upon "das Pub
licum" as the Germans 'say. We
have a Fair Orginizatlon,. flour
ishing farms and an extensive
community but no organization
supporting a suitable hall at the
Harlan cross roads. Then why
not a grange? If not, why not?
There are at least five neighbor
hoods, viz, Grants, Spout Creek,
McClellands, Blacks, Sweet
Home Racks Creek and Fiegles
Creek each and all mouthing for
entertainment and improve
ments. Then why not a grange
as a common center of attrac
tion? I wager there are plenty
of pretty women to act as Po
mona and Ceres, etc. We have
several cultured musicians but
only the all hearing ear knows
it because there is no suitable
equipped public place to exploit
these gifts consequently for the
most part they moulder in en
forced seclusion, the gift3 I
mean. Allow me to inveigle you
we have fine culinary artists
also and it is said that the way
to a man's good opiniou is oh,
pardon me! The men folks have
the gift of gab to a degree. Why
not harness these qualities and
drive tandem if need be in the
direction of commodious and
equipped Grange Hall at the
Harlan Cross Roads? A grange
Hall where we may eat, drink
(soft drinks) and be merry?
Let there be plenty of seats lest
our under pins weary. This
squatting on old defunct logs or
damp loamy"soil at public func
tions is food fur the medical
men. Put this in your type and
smoke it for "I'd be a Granger
and with Grangers stand," etc.
wouldn't you? Hark!
Frank Mulvany, Z. A." Kessl
and Chas. Lindley returned from
Toledo Tuesday.
Geo. Tubbs returned to his
ranch Wednesday.
Frank Mulvany is helping care
for his sister, Mrs. Frank Davis
at Harlan who Is seriously ill of
complications having undergone
a serious operation about two
years ago. The kind neighbors
who have been assisting are,
Mrs. I. R. Payne, Mrs. P. II. Mar
tin, Miss Liela Jacobs, Mrs.
Harry Briggs and son Maine.
Dr. Loggan of Philomath is In
attendance. Mrs. Davis is to be
plttied because her physical suf
fering are almost to the break
ing point, but the kind deeds of
friends violates Ella Wheeler
Wilcox's well known words,
"Laugh, and the world laughs
with you; weep, and you weep
alone."
Among outsiders visiting Fie
gles Creek are Milton Lake of
Peak, Mr. Jones of Portland, Ed
ward Briggs and Tommy Tnom
ason. We have a new road super
visor In the person of T. J. Bu
ford. Hopefully that he brings
forth the results "Money makes
the mare go.
