them by only three members. The
contest closed Sunday. The attend
ance was increased by 27 and now It Is
up to the Ioosers to furnish a nice treat
for the winners' side. The school
now has an attendance of about sevty
five and is Increasing right along. An
honor roll will be kept for the boys
that have enlisted In the army and a
committee was appointed to get the
address of every oq of them, so let
ters can be wrote to them oecasslon
ally to let them know they are not
forgotten by the home folks. This is
a beautiful patriotic duty. The names
of all the boys will be secured and
turned over to Fred Wygant, chairman
of the committee and this work will
be attended to. This work I believe Is
being done by the Churches all over
the country. An Kpworth League was
organized at the Church Sunday even
ing with 25 members. The following
officers were elected for the term:
Guy Gibson, president; Fred Wygant,
first vice-president; Adaline Adams,
second vice-president; Miss Alma Chal
craft, third vice-president; and Miss
Alpha Thompson fourth rice-president
and Miss Mary Gibson, secretary. The
League will meet every Sunday at the
M. E. Church at 6:30 P. M. All young
people are Invited to attend.
A number of people are coming from
Toledo and Newport to fish In the Si
let river, one of the best streams In
the state for fishing. Will Peterson
and Ralph Salvage came over Sunday
and had good fishing. They caught
one hundred splendid salrqon trout
measuring all the way from ten to four
teen Inches. Grant King chaperoned
the party and caught a few fish him
self.
I see some of the candidates running
for office have their pictures In the pa
pers and other candidates have not.
B. A. Armitage. J. C. Dixon and WU
llam Simpson, candidates for sheriff,
should have their pictures In the pa
pers. J. H. H. Andersen has his pic
ture In the papers and It looks fine.
I have heard some of the Sileta ladles
say if the other candidates for sheriff
don't put their pictures In the papers
they will not vote for any of them ex
cept Mr. Andersen. The ladles wish
to see the pictures and they will make
their own selections as to who they
will vote for, therefore K is op to the
candidates to put on their best bib and
tucker and their best smile and make
the best showing possible. Other
things being equal the ladles may vote
(or the best looking man.

ALTREE MILL
HAS BEEN LEASED
Some time ago we stated that D. L.
Chesley of Waldport was in Toledo
looking for a mill site, and that he
was almost certain of locating here.
We are now pleased to Inform our
readers that Mr. Chesley and O. B. Mc
Cluskey have concluded a deal, where
by they have leased the Altree Mill
and will have same cutting lumber by
the first of June. The mill will have
a capacity of twenty thousand feet per
day, and it Is expected to rut mostly
ties. A wagon road will be built from
the mill to connect with the bridge
across the tldeland. Mr. Chesley is an
old hand at the sawmill business, and
has been in charge of the mill at
Waldport the past seven or eight years.
He will go to Portland Tuesday to ar
range for machinery, and work will
be begun at once to get the mill ready
for operation.
