NEWPORT
The Corvallls High School

team on their own floor. The
Corvallls team was met at the
landing and escorted to the Ab

came on the floor full of confi

stronger and steadier than it
was when first built. The train
and boat service will bo much
better than ever before this
year. This Bervlce with outo
travel that will come to New
port and the sea coast will make
it the best year we have ever
had. No place along the Oregon
coast can enmnnrn with v,.
nort as a seaside resort. W nr
free from fog, have a splendid
view of both bay and ocean and
the table can be supplied almost
the entire year with all kinds
of sea foods and the roads ex
tend to the Siletz, Beaver Creek,
Drift Creek, Elk City and other
points where nutocs can go with
out any trouble in the summer
season. Nature has made this
an ideal resort and no amount of
artificial decoration and work
will bring any other resort on
the Oregon coact equal to this.
Why we were left out In lo
cating the roads to be built In
Oregon by the proposed bond Is
sue of $0,000,000, I can't un
derstand. At the Pomona Grange
held last week at Eddy ville a res
olution was unanimously passed
asking our leprcsentatives ln
tha last Legislature, Hon. Hand
ley and Fuller why they did not
try to get a hard surface road
located from the Valley through
Lincoln county to the coast. Til
lamook got two roads leading
into that county and Coos
cpunty got two also and we
were left out and as everyone
knows, it is easier and cheaper
to build a hard Burface road to
Lincoln county than any other
place along the coast range of
mountains. Another resolution
"-".u.
River and Jackson counties. It
l estimated that the cost of the
work including, paving in those
counties will be close to $4,000,.
000, leaving but $200,000 for
paving in all the other counties,
You can figure this out and see
if it is not true. The millage
tax of one-fourth mill iB to be
i taken with the auto licenses, to
nav the interest on the bonda.
In the 28 years that the bonds
will run, the taxpayers will pay
with the one-fourth mill tax, in
terest and principal on bonds to
the amount of $5,280,000, over
$2,000,000 will be Interest. If
additional bond issues were not
needed to complete the paving
11 C08t tne taxpayers over
$5,000,000, but as additional
bond Issues will have to be made,
aU the Merest and principal
must be paid by the taxpayers
In the counties other tnan tn08e
named above, are required to
make the grade, drainage and
foundation at their own expense
and the state Is to do the paving,
ln Oregon it costs more to make
hl grade and foundation than
, It does to do the paving.

I'm trying to dhow! some good
caus s for bonding and getting
better roads. Fortunately we
have had no serious sickness
but if we were watching and
waiting for a doctor we wouldn t
think of a few dollars added to
our taxes, and there are thous
ands of acres of land laying idle
just because poor roads makes
us so far from markets, which
will when put fn cultivation
make our taxes smaller instead
of greater and our fern hills will
be covered with orchards. ,

COUNTY COURT
WILL KEEP CRUSHER
The County Court received
word yesterday from the How
ard Cooper Corporation, who
were me purcnaBers of the local
rock crusher, that it could prob
ably be arranged so that the
crusner couia. remain here.
The court closed thn saio fn
the crusher some time ago, but
upon their explaining that the
peupie nere aesirea to retain the
crusher the Howard Cooper Cor
poration were good enough to
let the crusher remain here.
It is now up to the petitioners
to make eood and
crusher out to the ledge of rock
ana put it to work. We under
stand that there was about a
thousand dollors BiisrrlhPfi hw
Interested taxpayers, for this
work.
HOGS AND SHEEP
FOR SHIPMENT
A. C. Lascar, who halls fi
far away Bombay, India, but
wno is now making his home

working his way through' O. A.

uruay evening to buy some cat

head of shoats from A. C. Craw
ford and 11 sheep and 7 lambs
from Joe Blryant, and shipped
them to Corvallls yesterday. Mr.
Lascar Bald he was much sur
prised at the hospitality shown
him stating that he was sick sev
eral days while here, and was
taken care of at the Brvant
home, was also warmed and fed
at the Romtvedt and ' Murray
homes for which he was very
grateful.
ALL IS FAIR
-:... IN LOVE. AND WAR
At least that Is the way the
saying goes but President W. M.
Berry, of the Lincoln County
Fair Board, sava. "Don't tnlir
war, because we may not have
war; iaiit 'air, Decause we are
sure going jo have a hummer of
a fair this coming September."
And, by the way, if you ex
pect to carry of many first prizes
you should be paving the way to
the prize row now, by planting
some things especially for exhi
bition purposes. Lincoln coun
ty cannot be beat when it comes
to growing vegetables and gar
den sass, and we expect to see
some new records made at the
coming Fair.
A meeting of the Fair Board
was held last Friday in this city
and the matter of moving the
fair buildings waa discussed. It
Is thought perhaps that the best
way to get the buildings moved,
is to tear them down and rebuild
them on the new grounds. The
plan of the main exhibit building
will probably be altered, being
made wider and with a higher
ceiling, bo that it can be used
for at hletic games as well as an
exhibition hall. The question of
flnauces to go ahead with this
work Is now confronting the
board and they will call on the
Grange, Civic Club. Athlothlc
Club, merchants and farmers for
aid. The board is open for sug
gest Ions and will welcome any
thing that will aid them with
their problem.
