members were Initiated making "a
membership of twenty-five good work

pered by war activities and the pre
valence of the flu, so they could not
moot regularly. But now with har
mony and a splendid set of officers
there Is no reason wiry Siletz Valley
Grange should not be a large factor
In making the beautiful Siletz Valley
the best farming section in the county.
The Indians will in a short time get.
deeds to their land. Th'ey then will
be as free and unhampered as any
other citizen to go ahead and improve
their farms and be a unit In th-

commission Is very fair in the treat
ment of the Indians. Each Indian is
called to the office and the commis
sion ascertains whotner ho wains a
deed or not; and if ho doevn . want
a deed, the commission will pass upon
his ability to manage his own affairs
and if they think he Is capable he will
get a deed whether he wants It or not
Aleo Catfish expressed the sentiment
of the young men ln this way: "Years
ago when the reservation was new we
bad no roads, no bridges and no school
bouace. But now we have pretty good
roads, six bridges across the river,
one of them steel and one cable, and
a number of good school houses. Our
children are being educated and our
community Improved ln every way
end for this I am willing to pay taxes
to make our roads still better and to
build more bridges If necessary." This
Is the sentiment of the young people
generally. The commission say the
land of the old people will be held ln
trust. The commission Is composed
of Inspector Smith, Supervisor Chas.
E. Coe and Superintendent Edwin L.
Chalcraft The commission will be
ln session about one month.
Mrs. Chalcraft and Miss Alice Chal
craft went to Salem Monday morning
to be absent a week or ten days.
Mrs. Chas. Hyde of Millport staid
over night at Siletx Friday, while on
her way to visit her mother-in-law,
Mrs. John Hyde.
Mr. Gatula of the Lower Bay was a
Visitor at Siletz Friday.
If there Is anything in the old say
ing "If March come In like a lion It
will go out like a Iamb" be true, we
ought to have a splendid going out
because the month come 9a like a
roaring lion with wind, rain and a
clap of thunder that shook the glass
out of the windows and sent the birds
and animals niBhing to shelter. The
old Indians" say the "Sah-ha-lee Tyee
was hyas sallex (very mad), nesika
fayas kwass (much afraid)"
ThA vnnn neonlB of the Enworth
League will give a party at the Gov
ernment school house Friday, March
7th, at 7:30. A light lunch will be

News has Just been received In this
city of the death of Charles Ernest
Stuart, 16-year-old son of the late Cap
tain Charles Stuart of the Newport
Coast Guards. Young Stuart was liv
ing with his mother at Long Ben- '
Wash., and the cause of his death was
complications resulting from a sevc.
of Uncle Sam for the past year, re
turned home Saturday.
Donald Jam3, of the XJ. S. N., is
Jack Cleland, an honorably discharg
ed soldier of the 8. P. D., and Miss
Marie Soule, a teacher in the Junior
High School, were married Saturday.

them the best that Ufo affords.

Is true as a license has been Issued
them to wed but Just where or when
the knot was tied we will have to wait
until they get back from their honey
moon to find out
The City Council held a meeting
Monday night and the matter of fixing
up Front Street was discussed. It
seemed to be the sentiment of the Coun
cil that the price of lumber was too
high at this time to make permanent
repairs so it will have to be patched
up any old way to make it passablo
for some time to come. Plans were
outlined for securing Newport an ad
quate water supply for the coming
summer and Mr. Edwin J. Clark, of
Toledo was engaged at City Attorney.
It transpires that the Newport Com-
' merclai Club was not lost, only tem
porarily mislaid. A meeting was call
ed for Wednesday night for the purpose
of electing officers and transacting
j other business.
' And now the News accuses your
Newport correspondent of knocking
his home town. If It Is knocking our
home town to tell of. existing condi
tions then we are glad we knocked for
, the knocking is beglning to bear fruit
! The rotten condition of Front Street
is an undlsputable fact and we dont
care who knows It We are not the
city official newspaper and the City
. Council has no strings on us. As far
as knocking our home town Is con
cerned, we do not believe we are any
worse In that respect than the aald
City Council which turned down a
'pon lor ' '
attorney ana gave iiu a lo.eao man.
Verily It Is as Shaekspear hath said:
"Consistency, thou art some puuit-
kins."
