SILETZ
' The Siletz High School basket ball
am journeyed to Newport and Toledo
Jost Friday and Saturday, overcoming
many obstacles in the way of bad
.roads, and defeated these teams, 11
to 10 and 13 to 10 respectively. The
careful guoadini Oi tlij Silrtz team
was a feutura of both games. After
the Toledo guime the Toledo Hish
School o.udents and teachers gave a
banquet to Siletz which was greatly
Appreciated.
At the call school meeting held ct
the public school building Tuesday,
"W H. Dunlap was elected trustee tfo
tiH the unexpired term of Bert Robin
son ani Maurice Andersen was elected
Clerk to fill the unexpired term of
Itoy Chandler. A budget was adopted
to m-r the expenses to the next school
veer. aEgreeatlng something over
99,000. It was decided to build a play
hn.i 40 by 100. costing about ?2,000
The buiMing will be floored, enclosed
n all four sides wltli sliding doors
end revereable soats so games of ball
ctm be seen from the inside of the

acity of about 300 persons. The meet

of the- school aod citizens, and
Un sentiment was unanimous in try

important factor In building up the
prosperity and welfare of the com
munity. Now people care coming In most
very day looking for locations.
Mr. Kearn, of the Williams & Kearn
Cm, la here laying off and preparing
iri set out the ten acres of logan ber-
xiea. The ground Is in fine condition
and tha plants are fine and thrifty, and
it is believed every plant will grow.
It is the purpose of the company to
raiso each year a crop of potatoes
Ue the plants are prowlng. The
jlnU aire set 8 feet each way and. the
rows are made perfectly straight, or
as near so as possible. The only com
plaint I hear about the logan berry Is
they will grow so rank and produce
so abundantly that It will be hard to
.get them picked, as their season is
so ehort. But I think this can be
overcome by getting pickers at homo
and this will give employment to the
.nme folks who have been in the habit
oin to he Valley to pick) hops
and prunes along the malaria districts
r the Wlltamette valley, where tne
children so often, get sick as well as
Uu older DeoDle.
Lee Wade has leased the Collins
nwmni .nd will commence operating
the same about the 1st of December.
Tba logging camps are already being
urfafallHhed. Lumber at Siletz is in
great demand for building and fence-
inir mimeses. The local demand is
murine better all the time but the
lumber trade from the outside is inr
- creasing right along and this trade will
' ,Vb the business pay. We also have
shingle mill. Thia puts Siletz in
fine shape for Improving.

Prof. John Miller.
' IN REGARD TO COWS
There are several petitions being
circulated. Some in favor and some
against letting the cattle run at large.
It would seem to people who have
any interest in their home town 'that it
should not be necessary to get out
such petitions. It would eeem that
every one of us should hove pride
enough about us that we would like
to do all we can to) make our town
something beside a cow pasture. .
Some argue that it will work a hard
ship on those who (may 'have to buy
hay. What do they do In other nice
clean towns? People are permitted
to picket their cattle out, and there
are plenty of us who would gladly
let some picket their eowsi in our1 yards.
It tmay work a hardship on someones
ambition.
Some say, "Whate about the streets.
They will become overgrown with
weeds." Do the cows eat ferns and
blackberry brush? No. Our Boy
Scouts might be induced to help us
get rid of the ferns and blackberry
brush and then there would be more
grass for the cows to be picketed on.
Let anv woman put on a nice dress
and walk out on almost any of our
streets and unless Bhe holds her dres3
tightly about her sue will tear it.
There will ue a petition in favor of
putting up the cattle hanging in the
postofflce at mail time for all who wish
to sign. Yours for any improvement.
