Wincoln fender. VOLUME 28 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6th, 1S20 NUMBER 24 SILETZ Rev. Walter. Robs has returned from attending school at Salem for the hen - eflt of rural pastors. This school was instituted to help ministers to got out of the old ruts and to keep up with the development and progress of the present age. The world is so consti tuted thai you must either go forward or drift backward. There is no such thing S3 standing still. It is like row ing a boat against the current. Ycu must keep pulling or you will drift down stream and this applies to the ology as well o.s to anything else. The car of progress moves right along and If you wish to succeed you muot get aboard while it is pa3:-:ing or be left, j ot croakers for we have noticed that Mrs. Rons and. her little son, George, the cr0aker" locates is every new place Jiave also returned from a two months ! tneu tiptoes and r rooks to his own visit to sea her mother who lives In i disadvantage We only hope that Lincoln, Nebraska. Her mother was j those ilhat llave caught tlie boom fever very sick but had got somewhat better will not nave a relapse and finaIly end BO Mrs. Ross roturned homo and she in a case of the croakg. had not been here but a short time i We learn that Jerry Smllh of Beav. till the sad news came that her mother er Creek ls in a very crticai Condl liad died just twelve days after Mrs. tlon at nB brothcrV Sam Smlth. hobs nan Qiaaen ner guouuye. ner -death was caused by a socond stroke of apoplexy. The weather is fine and everyfarra r ls putting up his hay. The crop Is good this year and the oat crop ls also going to be exceedingly fine this sea son. Notw thstandiug the war prices are kept up but Silelz is going to faro pretty well so far as the farm pro ductions are concerned. We will have plenty. Williams and Kearn have cultivated their logaji berry field till It Is In splendid condition. - The yearling plants that were set out are doing 2a? but the tips did not do 30 well. The (round was very foul being cOYered with noxious weeds, but by using th disc pretty thoroughly the weeds have been subdued and if this system ot .thorough cultivation Is kept up the weeds will not return. These gentle men own another ten acres that they have planted to corn and potatoes; they also have planted potatoes be tween the rows of lot'an berries. Al together they have eight acres of po tatoes planted and the crop looks fine and if the price of potatoes keep up this crop will go pretty far towards paying for the land. Mr. Williams ls pleased with the work and has In creased in weight and good looks and says he would not exchange his pros-; pects here for the best business In j Newnort. Th market for this loean berry juice Is universal and jell is world wide and Is Increasing right along. This damp humid coast climate and more especially the Siletz Valley is the home of the loganberry as well as the evergreen black berry. Messrs. Williams and Kearn are going to dem onstrate what can be done here with this berry and we believe this is the starting of an industry that -will ulti mately establish a cannery here and bring a biz payroll to Siletz Valley. It is said "A person that can make two blades of grass grow where one formerly grew is a benefactor," If this ls true and these gentlemen succeed in their undertaking they will surely be benefactors.

Toledo community, and that means everybody within a radius of anywhere from one to nine miles, is deeply in terested in the Rest Room and Library and the generous spirit shown insures the permanent success of the enter prise. Organizations, beginning with the Toledo Orchestra under the manage ment of Mrs. Frank Carson followed by the Whist Club and the Parrish School District, are giving benefits and individuals are contributing time, most (precious of commodities, and money, a most necessary factor in making the wheels go round all with such whole hearted interest that the ladles) of the Civic Club who are in charge of the work as representatives of the community feel like redoubling their efforts in order to be worthy of the trust.

Carson, backed over two embankments Bouth of Yachats and landed upside down on the beach below. One of Carson's daughters, aged three, sustained a cut that nearly tore her ear away, the other, aged five, sustained a fractured skull; Mrs. Carson, who is about to become a mother again, was injured Internally so seriously that tonight it wbb thought that she could not recover, and Mrs. Carson's mother sustained a crushed ankle. Mrs. Kocher, a sister of Mr. Carson, and her baby, escaped iniury when Mrs. Kocher, carrying the child, h aped from the car as It started its backward race. At the time of the accident the car was ascending the grade on tho Flor-J ence-Yachats road. The engine was "killed," when Mr. Carson tried to shift gears at a point where the road runs about 100 feet above the beach and on the point of a bluff. As Carson left the car to crank the engine, the machine started backing down the hill. Carson made a run for the steering wheel and managed to keep the car in the road for about 60 feet, when it turned off down a steep bank some 40 feet high. Reaching the bottom, still upright, the oar proceeded up a short incline and hurled over a precipitous cliff onto the beach 30 or 40 feet below. Mr. Carson, without realising what he was doing, leaped to the beach. Ho escaped Injury, but found the rest of the party unconscious on the beach. Dr. Leonard of Portland happened to be near and gave assistance, Mrs, Kocher had hurried to a nearby hoUst and telephoned Dr. Linton of Waldport. This was the second car to plunge from the bluff near Yachats last week. Mr. Carson operates a sawmill near Ya hats. Portland Orogonlan. This accident occured Sunday.

AVOID MISTAKES (No need for Toledo people to ex periment with such convincing evi dence at hand. There are so many well-advertised didney remedies on the market today, but none so well-recommended In this vicinity as Doan's Kidney Pills. Read the statement of a resident of Dallas. Mrs. A. II. lznrd, 714 Leveiis St., Dnllas, Ore., says: "I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as a good remedy. I hnd kidney complaint and suffered from backache quite a lot. Mornings I felt dull and tlmd eanlly and my kidneys were Irregulur in action. I used Doan's Kidney Pills as directed and they relieved the backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint." Price 60 cents, at nil dealers Don't simply aBk for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Izard had. Fosler-Mllburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.

Three Jury trials were dis posed of as well aa-a number of other cases. The case of A. J. Read V3. The City of Newport was won by the plaintiff, the Jury bringing In a verdict for him In the sum of J17G5, which was the amount of his claim with interest at 6 per cent to date.
