i 72 - V VOLUME 27 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 1919. NUMBER: Jj Wincofa jkltl. ":"r (Bounty SILETZ J. A. Schaffer and Mr. Brads ted will build a fchlngle mill on Spencer Creek, four miles from the Agency, near the road going to the Upper Farm. A large amount of cedar Umber is h -called in this section, especially on Sam's Creek and Upper Siletz, enough timber tq keep a email mill going far ten years. This is very Important as people all thru the Valley need shing les. Lumber is also badly needed for femicing and building purposes. . T5i1g county is starting on a new life and! new blood by the incoming settlers who wish to make homes here end soon other industries will be start d. This valley ia the home of the evergreen and losan berries. Plans are bc-ing niade to put out large acre age of thig fruit. A few years aio poople were trying to get rid of the evergreen blackberry, but now it is considered ithe must valuable of small trui I don't know when this berry was started in this county or who brought it here. Some 40 or 60 years ago a man, by the name of Daniel Howery took a, homestead on Big Elk river, about four miles above Elk City. Me got two- or three-hundred ever rn plants and set them out on his liameebead. treat led them up and cultl vated them like you would a logan berry. The ground was damp, Jugt sacb soil as the borry requires. The Vishes grew and the caneg would run .t ten to fifteen feet, but Mr. Howery kept them trimmed down, and by doing this the berry grew large and luscious, full of Juice. Mr. Howeiy made Jam, Jelly an-1 win out of these berries, nd H wns of t!'. fines. ipialUy. These berries should be cultivated. They do bo much better. Thousands of dollars have already been paid for the vlcking of this fruit in this county and the in dustry ig just in its infancy At 8 cents per pound a girl or boy can mok $3 or $4 per day picking black berries. Now I don't know just who Introduced this berry into this county but if it was Daniel Howery he should have a monument built to his memory If any one knows how the evergreen blackberry got started in thiii county, I wish he wot. Id gpeuk out and h;t v.: know. James F. Roberts and Bert Robins will open a pool saloon and confec tionary fctore in the building formerly occupied by Blllie Metcalf. The bulld- . Ing la being repainted, .partloned, dis infected and thoroughly cleaned be fore it will be occupied by the. new firm. The title of the firm will be "Robins & Roberta." . Three gentlemen by the names of Q. F. Brayer, firom Indiana, Victor Brunner and F. p. Roser, from Silver ton, have been caimped for a week at Joe Cosons, putting in their time nail ing the Siletz river and Its tributaries, they are having the time of their lives. A few daiys ago they caught 81 poundg of fish in, three hours. Three big Chi nook sallmon and the remainder of the catch was beautiful speckled trout. TTbese; gentlemen not only enjoy the flahing, but our splendid .climate, beau tiful scenery, rich soil, and the pure sparkling waters that rush from! our mountain sides in a thousand streams. The M. E. Church and parsonage are being put in splendid condition. The former will have a new founda tion, new roof, painted on the outside and papered on the inside from top to bottom and the latter will have new underplning and a new porch. The roof is already new.. When finished up this will be one of thw nicest church properties in the county. Private Harry Borden, 92 Inf., 4th Div., Canadian, of Portland, Oregon, and Mr. Floyd Graggs, ot Hood River, stopped at Siletz while on their . way from Falls City to Toledo. Near the Bumanit their car received a bad break up on account of the bad roads and ' they had to leave H. It will cost them ' $75 to get their car repaired. This young Canadian goldier had some hard o tori os to tell of the German brutall- , ties and eruellties. He gaiw two Can adian soldiers that bad been crucified - In a building, two Belgium women that bad been imvpalled on the walls of a bouse with bayonets, and children with their bands cut off. Canada sent a braive lot of boys to 'help fight for liberty ami civilization. How can the German, War Lord a settle the account on the great day of reckoning? Dr. James Moore, Dist. Supt., held the First Quarterly Conference at Si letz Saturday. The financial condition was good. Rev. Walter Rosg was re turned with a raise in bis salary of $160. The work of the church is also in fine condition, A chicken dinner was served and a very pleasant session of the conference was held and all present bad a good time. Friendship and sociability are great factors in keeping the gplrita and happiness of the people up. Siletz is blessed with good neighbors and progressive citi zens. ......

CHANCE TO SELL WOOL Recent announcement by the gov ernment relative to tho importation of Australian wools has caused quite o flurry, in the wool market through out the United States. A large portion of the wool grown in the wast is gtill in the hands of local buyers and much of it in the hands of the farmers. This is true to a certain extent in Lincoln County. There has been considerable specu lation as to whether or not the market would improve; most indications point ing to a betterment about the first of the year. Most of the Valley buyers have indicated continually that there was no especial demand for wool and that they were not at all anxious to buy. The county agent's office yester day was in receipt of a letter from Waiter Kline of C&rvoillis, who pur chased the Eddyville oiohalr pool thig yttxr, indicating that he had received orders for a couple or three carloads of wool and that lie was sending Ex County Commissioner 0. V. Hurt to Toledo, Sunday end Monday, who would then proceed to Eddyville Tues day, to meet with any of the local wool growers who would be interested in gettinj rid of their clips. It is necessary that thig wool be bought on gipde, and consequently, the wool must ba available for exami nation. Mr. Kline Indicated further that the price being paid was from 35 to 50 cents, depending upon the quaility, there being very little demand for coarse wools, most of the strength of the market being for finer types. A good anany growers in the county have been holding their wool, pending a pool sale, but conditions have not yet warranted this call being made. HIGH SCHOOL WILL GIVE HALLOWE'EN CARNIVAL Much is planned this year among the students of the High. We are looking forward to a rallying good year in athletics, Glee Club work and many other student activities. One ot the many coming events will be a High School Carnival in the Club House, Hallowe'en Eve, Oct 31, 1919. The purpose of this will be to secure Btudent body funds. . ' We hope everyone will attend as a good time Is assured.. A one-act comedy, exhibiting the best talent of the school will begin the evening en- teitairimelit. Booths, side shows and games of fortune will be the chief attraction of the evening, closing wiui a big dance. T. H. S. "BE A BRICK, BUY A BRICK" Toledo will have a drive on October 18 for the Pacific Coast Rescue and Protective Society. Tho money is to build a new nursery for the nameless and homelass babies of Oregon; the little abandoned babies, who belong to nobody. Under the leadership of Prof. W, A. Cox the school children will be organized to uelp this worthy cause and the Boy Scouts will also do their share. A friendly rivally will exist between Toledo and Newport to see who will do t'lio best for this cam paign. The drives will be on thi same day and much interest is center ed in the work. FALL BREAKS BACK Last week Homer H. Hershey, ot Nashville, fell out ot a tree, where he was picking fruit, and broke his back. He fell but a short distance, but struca on the back of his neck, and in such a shape that It caused his back to break. He was at once taken to the Good Sa maritan hospital, Portland, and we un derstand ithat but slight hopes are held for his recovery. He has a wife and five small children. MEMORIAL BENEFIT DANCE PLANNED The local Roosevelt Memorial com mittee, headed by Judge Miller, of tills city, has arranged, ag part of the cam paign to raise the apportionment as sessed to tliia section, a dance, which will be held in the city clubhouse on the evening of Saturday, October 18th, at 8 P. M. The dance tickets are $1.00 per couple and the participants will be considered, not as purchasers, of dance tickets necessarily, but as don org to the memorial fund. Arrange ments have been made whereby those not participating in the dance may make their contributions direct to Mr. Joe Booth, treasurer of the local com mittee., . A "bully" good time is as sured those who attend the dance, and a special orchestra that is sure to please you when you hear it has been arranged for. An added attraction at til's dance will be the presentation by Hon. B. P. Jones, of Newport, to MLss Thelma Fowler, of Toledo, of the prize that ghe won in connection with the- Roose velt Highway essay contest .Ir.st what the judges have selected In the way of this prize has not yet been announced by them The premium as oltlnally sch; l,ilel vas to hnvj been a trip down the coast over the pro posed route of Hie highway to Port land, returning by way of Salem at the time of the State fair. Thls trip was to have been scheduled In connec tion with a county-wide excursion which was made impracticable on ac count of the condition of the roads as a result of the rain coming just be fore fair tlmo. The judges have been instructed to make soleotlon of a pre- mlum that shall be commensurate with uie costs or, wis proposed trip as pre- viously scheduled. An incident in connection with the momorial campaign that may be of interest to local people who were in terested in the iiooaevelt Highway pro ject is that this large commltteo work ing throughout the entire United States has approved, also the, project for the Roosevelt Highway in the West. Consequently it is. important that we raise our quota without ques tion, because later we may need to campaign the East in behalf of the project in which we were formerly and still are much Interested. The memorial, as planned, will. In deed, be a great tribute to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt. Let us build H and also the highway. o MRS. STEELE SELLS RANCH Mrs. M. V.

'w High School Alge being , to perfect the organisation of brri. by Wells and Hart. several diocks In the Jersey Bull As sociation in the central part of Lin coln County. The bull association idea is not a new tne, but one that has worked out well in practice In practhailv every elate in the union. Briefly stated, the association provides for the formation oi a unit diock, wnicn ordinarily con-1 sisits of about 40 to 60 cows, placing In each block, on some conveniently located farm, a well bred registered bull, which Is selected not according to price, but according to the production of butiter fat record cf his uncesccro. After the bull has been, kept in one I block for a couple of years, he is then exchanged for a bull la an adjoining I block; coneeauentlv. after huvtn . good bull, the farmers of a block will ue immu a wmi uie use or a pure- bred bull for au Indefinite number of years. Farmers Interested In the purchase or use of better Jersey bulls, are urged to attend this meeting at the county agent's office on Saturday, October 18 at 11 o'clock. Those who may not be interested In becoming a member' of the bull association, will find the cussion of the type of bulls suited to our purposes and the methods by which they may bo secured co-operatively at better prices of particular interest to them. One of tho special features that makes the bull associa tion of importance to a community lies i In the fact that through the association j plan much bettor bulls may be bad at , much less cost than Is ordinarily paid by the individual farmer where ho I owns a bull of even lesser value alone.
