SILETZ
We've bad a real old fashioned wind
and rain storm, putting the Si let z river
up out of ltd banks, and permitting the
ealmon to pass to their ' spawning
grounds with itho trout following them
to get their eggs. The fall has been
so dry and the river so low that the
ealmon were compelled to stay In the
deep holes t'-ll the rise In the river.
Siletz Is one of the bent flsh streahis
In the state and its water shed has
hundreds of small streams that empty
Into the main river. "he Siletz rivor
la 120 miles from ito soured to ' Its
mouth. It lakes a serpentine course
from where It starts in the Coa-st
Range till it reaches the ocean. From
thq head of the river, on a straight
line to the ocoan, !s twelve miles. The
rivor has a rock bottom till It reunites
tide water. All along Its course the
waton Is as clear as crystal, ahd to
paraphrase Samuel Simpsons "Beautl
Xul Willamette," we might say, "From
the Coast Range frozen gorges, Loan
ing Mke a child at play. Winding,
widening thru the vdJley, Bright Siletz
glides away. . Onward over. Lovely
river, (Softly calling to the sea, Time
that scars us, Maims and mars us.
Leaves no track of trench on thee."
Sem Simpson's father, Ben Simpson,
was Agent at Siletz in an etrly day
for eight roars. Sam was .then a boy
and played and fished along the green
border pf the Siletz with the Indian
boys and dusky maidens, and it may
" bo he got some of the inspiration 'to
write the "Beautiful Willamette" while
playing along the banks of the- beauti
ful Siletz.
A number of Aching parties have
come to SileU to Coll. Among thm
a party from Salem; Mr. and Mrs. L.

The High School Carnival staged in
the Club House last Friday evening
proved a hugh success, in spite of the
storm, and the gross receipts of tho
evening amounted to about 140. The
darkened hall, with the gliosis flitting
about gave one a sort of an crle feel
ing, but tills did not last long, for m
soon as the spooks had gotten off
some satire, with regard to conditions
around the high' school building they
dispersed. The play was fine and the
singing of the plntett was a scream
After the play tho booths all opened
up for business, and the refreshment
standa, fortune tollor3, fishing pond
