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

ing arrangements, and tomorrow even
ing will e -e the first evening's enter
tainment. The program is varied, be
ing musical, educational and amusing.
The Ellison-White Company has a
reputation for staging none but high
class artists, and we believe the people
of Toledo will be well repaid for at
tending the sessions here. Adults'
season tickets sell at $2.20 and child
reus' at $1.10, which includes the war
tax In each instance.
FREICHT DERAILED .
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

The Freshman Reception given last

colors of rod, white end blue to cele
brate Armistice Day. The evening

were delightful, cookies and punch,

The Physiology Class started Thurs
day and the lack of text books makes
it very hard to prepare lessons. If
there are any old texts of Conn &
Buddlugton Advanced Physiology, they
will be readily boughten If delivered to
the school.
