VOLUME 28 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 2nd, 1920 NUMBER 19 SILETZ The Community meeting held here Friday In conjunction with the Farm Bureau and Siletz Valley Grange was well attended and was a very pleasant and instructive meeting. A basket dinner was served and a business pro gram waa rendered in the mite moon Mr. and Mrs. Cooter were prestent and JMtes Doollttle of the O. A. C. was here to Instruct the ladles In how to make over old hats and make them look as good as new. Some twelve or fifteen ladles were present and took great Interest in the work.. Miss Doollttle is a very pleasant and competent In structor and took great inlerest in her class. It seems to be a good plan to work over old suits of clothes and make them last a little longer and thus beat the profiteer out of some excessive profits. This would save a good deal of money. Most any kind of a suit of clothes now cotls all the way from $30 to $75. You can buy the cloth for aucfu suits from $10 to $15 bus It will cost from $:J0 to $50 to get It made. This Is the high cost of labor. Under these s.renuous times people will have to learn to economize do on less and produce more. Like a great storm at sea, the world is up set and confused from the effect of war conditions, and It will be a long time before ft will get settled down. The people seem to have gone wild over the desire for pleasure and ex travagance. Such was the condition of Rome when she attained such a blgh state of civilization that she be came the mistress of the world but through the lust for pleasure idleness and extravagance she fell and we as a nation dont change our ways and be come more careful of the welfare of our country history may repeat itself. At the annual school meeting held Monday A. C. Crawford was elected director and E. E. Colvin, clerk. Miss Margaret Salmons was engaiged as . teacher of the eighth grade and Mrs. Colvin was secured to teach the pri mary department. The principal for the school has not been engaged. Ap plications are coming in End a princi pal will soon be obtained. The Contract for building the play house was let to Larkey Logan for $060. Other bids were In ranging from $950. to $1700 so there was quite a margin between the lowest and high est bidder. A game of baseball was played Sun day between the Sileta and Toledo teams. Tha game was played with greet Interest and enthusiasm. A good crowd was present frr-in Elk City, Toledo and Newport and from ' he Upper and Lower Farm all com ing in their cars. Jesse Reoder and his family came In their car all the way from above Nortons to see the e and visit Siletz. The Siletz team won out over the crack team of Toledo to the tur.e of 11 to 7. This Is not quite satisfactory and the game will be played over again at some near future date. ' The Luckimute Camp Fire Girls of Falls City hiked to Newport staying over night ad Siletz. They were clad In Khaki coats and trousers with heavy hiking shoes and leggins. They had packs on their backs and some side arms. They hiked over the road to Newport the nexf morning. They were a little sore footed but they did not seem to mind tlnat inconvenience. In the party were ten girls a, lively Jolly bunch. Mrs. Mae Love, the chap erone, Opal Robertson, Eva Ohappell, Louise Brown, Dortha Gutheridge, Dortha Walt, Lessle Paul, Gladys Hall, Gladys Paul and Ruby Wings. These young Mies will stay at Newport un til the big three days Fourth of July celebration is over and ithen they will hike down the coast to Waldport and Yachats before returning heme. IA social dance was given Saturday night at the Recreation Hall. A good crowd wens present and all reported a good time. Mrs. A. L. Crawford gave the supper. The saw mill run by Lee Wade came near going up in smoke one day last week. The fire started near the engine and was in full blaze in a short time. But the tank was full of waiter and the men with buckets working like Trojans soon put the fire out and the mill and lumber were saved.

Hawn, draMiatic reader of no minor capacity, and represent - Ing the Oregon State Chamber of Com - merce In Its campaign for a three year budget of $450,000 for statewide de velopment and publicity, made his sec ond appearance In this city Tuesday evening when he addressed ti'.i aud ience of some three hundred repre sentative citizens at the Circuit Court rooms. He entertained them royally with the most gloriously painted vis ion of Oregon developed as the Btate's natural resources make possible. Mr. Hawn scarcely touched upon the fl - nanoial side of the question at all but only two places in the county where Bought to inspire his hearers with tho celebrations will be held. A large Hue magnitude and glory of this won- number of Toledo people are planning derful commonwealth, and by com- on taking In the Newport celebration, parison sought to moke clear what a , while other Toledoltes are planning beneficent Provldenco has done, and j picnic parties to the Siletz river Sat what other communities have done I urday where they will camp until eisewnere wim so mucn less 10 worn upon. He was apt m nls choice ot words and phrases, soared to limitless heights but in any but the usual boost er fashion. He talked good sense and facts, wni created a decidedly farvor able impiesian. After the address, President G. B. McCluakey and Sec retary Cooter each gave a short talk. Mr. Cooter hnd previously laid a wager that he would have two farmers at the meeting for every business man pres ent, and lie certainly made good with a vengeance. To Show that ho was a good fellow, however, he treuted all j the men present to cigars and ar ranged another treat at this ollice for ;the ladies. I31k City anl Silotz were ! also liberally represented. I Secretary Cooter and Con Christ iansen now passed out cards and each 'person present wrote their name and the amount they would give to the j State Chamber each year for the next j three years, the total of which was .over $1200. In part Dr. Hawn said: , "We extract the soul of evfn Inani mate things around us only by con spicuously relaltlng ourselves to them; by learning to spell their Inner mean ings into ourselves; in other words, by having a knowledge of the very heart of things. j "To live the 'abundant life,' not ; theologically but literally and prac tically, we must establish an ilntlmate ; relationship ibetweeni oursolve9 and our environment "The world of men Is crying out for reconstruction.

WATER GIVES OUT; MILL CLOSES DOWN The Chrsley Lu'i'hr Co cloged down its sawmill in West Toludo, Wed nesday evening for an Indelicate per iod, on account of a lack of water. The mill has had no city water since Feb ruary, but has been depending on a well, which has now gone dry. This section ot the city is served from the big 12 inch water main laid from Mill Cr ek, and which has been, out of commission for several months. This is an unfortunate condition aa It not only forces a chut down throw ing many out of work, but leaves the mill and a million feet of lumber In the yard with no fire pn'eLtlon, and the city Is loser by about $25 per month, on wator rents. - . . This company's payroll amounts to about $10,000 per moni'.h for logs and labor, all of which money I3 distributed locally. The stopping of this payroll will be felt by our merchants.
