Al though the 'trout had followed the Sal mon up the river to their spawning grounds, these gentlemen had pretty good luck in catching some of the trout. Several gentlemen have been on the Slletz recently looking for land. Some good eales have already! been made. Clayton Pond has bought tho Wallace place on the Upper Farm, near the gorge, consisting of 160 acres, nearly ai; level land, price, $6,000. This is a fine ranch.

Instrumental duets, quartets and ensemble numbers such Is the program of the Sierra Serenaders to be presented on the last day of the Chautauqua. Festival. Probably no other organization of five young ladies combines in itself as much artlstlo talent as do the Sierra Serenaders. Few programs offer such originality, such a varied and ever-changing suc cession of melody and entertainment. their plants here to set out their ten acres of loganberries. Others are con templating setting out the loganberry this winter. The climatic conditions are just right for the logan and ever green blackberry to grow to perfection here. Mrs. C. G.

The Roamer, otter encountering quite a heavy storm at sea which did considerable damage to her goods, again arrived in port. She brought in a load of machinery and tools for the road contractors at Tidewater, besides a supply of general merchandise. , The saw mill is so busy on shipping orders that it is difficult to get lumber for the local needs. The City Library was dedicated on the first anniversary of Armistice Day. This is a groat improvement to Wald port end vicinity for we have a good collection of books which will be avail able not only to the people of Waldport but out of town people also. The li brary will be open every evening from seven till nine. The Sagendorf bridge on Dritt Creek broke down with ten head of Grover Doty's ttnilk cows.

The east bound freight was derailed near Btodgett yesterday tearing up considerable track, and as a conse quence the afternoon passenger was about 'five hours late. This lateness of. the train emphasiz ed the need of some lights on our depot platform. This is- the second time this week that the train has come in after dark, and with the platform crowded with people and four or five express wagons it is a miracle that no one has been injured. OAKLAND BUYS JERSEYS E. S. Oakland of Bayview passed thru Toledo last week with ten head of Jerseys which he had purchased from Nash Bros, at Nashville.

Lawson who has been logging on the north spruce railroad near Ot ter Rock the past several months, has been awarded the contract for loading the logs on the cars here for shipment to Oregon City. A minumum of 20 cars a day will bel loaded, and It is probably that about thirty will be the average. The logs are eo large that a good many of them will go but one to the car. The loading will be done! on Depoe sloujh, at West Toledo, and will begin next week. It is estimated that It will take at least seven months to com plete the contract, and will probably employ about a dozen men. BASKETBALL SATURDAY SILETZ VS.
