church at Siletz.
The Ladles Aid Society gave a
supper Friday evening at the govern
ment school building, under the cafe
toria plan. A good crowd wan present.
The supper was unusually good and
every one enjoyed it. Thin is one way
and a very good one, to develop the
life and social qualities of a communi
ty. You can calm the feeling, steady
the nerves aud allay the grouchy feel
ings of people thru the stomach better
than any other way. The net proceeds
were $44.62, to be used for the pay of
the minister and the building up of the
moral and social influences of the com
munity. D. W.' Cowgill, field agent of the
Albany Pure Milk and Cheese Com
pany, while spending - a- few - daya

picturesquly situated, has, in his opin
ion the making of one of the richest
dairy sections in the state, not except,

expects to return to Toledo Saturday
or Sunday.

of them from Toledo and Newport.
The road is in fair condition but will
be alright after it Is worked. Forman
and Schaffer took the tractor up to
the Schaffer shingle mill Monday, on
Spencer Creek, and got it set up ready
for work.
Shingles are in great demand and
bring top prices. Several persons have
been In here recently trying to get
hold of cedar timber in sufficient quan
tities to justify putting up a shingle
mill. So far they have not succeeded
in getting the timber.

many are taking advantage of the fact
to be out at all times.
Messrs. Weber, Phelps, Huyett, Gray,
Woods and Mr. Zachu's Egg carrier
were in with Mr. Khoades from the
Beaver Creek country Saturday. If
every etiu.il area of good land in Lin
coln county produced the cream that
the Heaver Creek country does, we
would be ahead of Tillamook in dairy
ing. Since Mr. Burpee took over the man
agement of the jetty work,, the quarry
has produced a much larger supply of
iiulk uuu uie aoum jeuy is in a lair
way to be completed. A good depth
of water is reported along close to

propriated and which is to begin with
the completion of the South Jetty,
Lincoln County will have a harbor
capable of exporting one and a half

will enable mills to bid Id all markets,
a great advantage, and one that will
make Lincoln County timber available,
U. K. Jones returned over Sunday,
from his whirlwind campaign for Sec
rcyry of Stne. Mr. Jones' prospects
sejiu very fair, and judging from his
talks in Salem, Cuivaiim and other

several thousand dollars worth of ad-
vertislng, and his talk seems to con-
slat of explanations of the resources
and advantages of this country almost
entiiely.

BRIDGE QUESTION
TO BE VOTED ON
At the coming election to be held
the 21st of this month the question
of voting funds for the building of a
bridge across the Yaquina river here,
and the building of a road from the end
of ti is bridge to Elk City will de
cided. Th i ballot title of this measure la
nr. fJi owe - -..".y -. . .
Shall there be issued bonds of Lin
coln County to the amount of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,
OCu.00) due in fifteen years, with in
terest at six per cent, per annum,
lo provide for permanent road con
struction? Tuere is no question but what this
bridge and road are badly needed. It
will open up for settlement the large
territory lying between the Alsea and
Yaquina rivers, which now is bottled
up and has no outlet. The additional
property that would be thus created
and placed on the lax roll would more
than pay the cost of the bridge.
A vote for the bridge is a vote for
a greater Lincoln county.
SCHOOL BOARD
CONVENTION
A school board ronvention was held
in the Court House Saturday, May 1st.
While there was not -as large an at
tendance as won hoped for. every part
of the county was represented.
The shortage of ter.chers, the teach
er's salary, consolidation of school dis
trict, transportation of pupils, and good
roads, which of course is necessary for
transportation, were some of the things
discussed. The millage tax for tiie
elementary schools also had its time
and place on the program.
There is a teudaucy all 'over the
county tor consolidate, where consoli
dating Is possible. For the ensuing
school year tho pupils In the Storrs
district will be taken to Elk City una
efforts to take the pupils of the West
Yaquina district to Yaquina will be
made. Tho Arate Beach pupils could
be taken to Newport, and in a few
other places the pupils couia be trans
portated at a great saving to the dis
trict. This doublefng up, so to speak,
would not only be a saving to the dis
trict but It would also help solve the
shortage of teachers question.
The representatives of the different
districts present went on record as
favoring the two-mill tax measure for
elementary schools, bo It you follow
their advice you will vote 314 X Yes.
This measure is to equnliae the tax
buiden for elemenUry schools, so why
should we not all vote for It.

Lincoln County Leader,
Dear Editor

We have bron notified by the mail

I j d0 ,10t blame the mall carrier. It
is a wonder to-mo that he did not
balk on the job long ago. But, I do
blamu the County Court for tholr in
