SILETZ
Leo Umatarter and Dewey Charles,
two soldier boyB, were out on a fur
lough for a few days to visit their
folks. These boys are still at Van
couver, training, but are liable to be
called to tlio front any day to take
part In the great war. These boys
look fine. The military training they
have received has brought them out
so they don't look like the same
young men. It Is an honor to wear
Uncle Sam's uniforms and to be one
of his soldiers.
Attomev Clark was over
Tuesday
to attend to some legal
business at
the Agency.
Superintendent Chalcraft leaves to
day for Roseburg to look after the In
terests of the Indians In that part of
his Jurisdiction. He will be absent
eight or ten days.
H. A. Dunkle, H. E. Newell and Ilert
McGulgan of the Warren Spruce Com
pany are here, stopping at the Hotel
King, and will establish headquarters
In one of the dormatorles on the Gov
ernment School grounds. In a few
days some slxtx U. S. soldiers that be
long to the Signal Corps will come in
and take up their quarters here. The
purpose Is to build a plank and crushed
rock road from the North end of the
Miller ineelnt road to the Lower
Farm In order to reach the spruce belt
of timber on the Siletz river. The
planking will be from the SUetz Agen
cy to the Lower Farm. The plan is
to make the road so that motor trucks
can convey the riven spruce to Tole
do to be shipped on the Southern Fa
cile railroad to Portland and other
points to be used in the construction
of airplanes. It Is the purpose of the
Government to build 40,000 airplanes
A large store house is being built at
Toledo, 24 by 100 feet for the purpose
of storing Implements and other equip
ment to be used In constructing the
road. Mr. Dunkle will be superinten
dent of construction. Large bodies of
the finest spruce in Oregon grow along
the Siletz river that cap be reached
by Hits road,
Times will be lively
at fillets this year. New people
ar "New oeoole r.'Thonie, wttft the folks-
coming In all the time. The prospects
for Lincoln county were never so
bright as now.
We are glad not only to furnish sol
diers but material to help down the
kaiser and his brutal military system
that disgraces the world. Civilization
could not live if that system should
prevail. The awful atrocities that
have been committed is arraigning the
world against Germany. The Apache 1
Indian was considered to be In his
savage state the most cruel person In
the world but with all his cruelty and
barbarity he did not compare with the
cruelty of the Germans In this world
war. Some still ask what are we
fighting for and who are we fighting.
President Wilson answered these
questions In his last speech: The
Tlflng, the diabolical Thing, that holds
nothing sacred not the virtue of
women, nor the lives of children nor
the honor of men, but ruthlessly des
troy them like a Juggernaut without
mercy. It Is the Beast that we are
fighting and to do this is the very
essence of patriotism. It Is the prlco
of liberty. No longer are we Isolated
but belong to one family. I am pledged
to help defend your home and family
and you are pledged to defend mine.
If we lived In a city where a gang of
degenerates like Jack the Ripper go
ing about murdering and destroying
our people we would all stand together
to kill such a beast. This would be
our duty. This Is autocracy or kaiser
Ism run to seed. This held Europe in
its grasp for ages but now the light
Ja breaking and If all the people who
applaud this Prussian militarism,
headed by the kaiser, this German kul-
tur and the superman theory will be
overthrown In the word but It we
don't do this and the kaiser succeeds
we in America will be treated like
Belgium, Servla, Poland and north
ern France. Sut I see another vision
There will be an end to the empires,
Emperers, klndoms and kings will pass
away and this world will be made fit
for Democracy, the rule of the People
and the Stars and Stripes emblem
of freedom waving tryumphant in
' every part of the world.
