9 ' f- Lit . A ' VOLUME 28 TOLEDO. LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 14th, 1921 NUMBER 47 SILETZ J. D. Mickle, ex-food and dairy com missioner, accompanied by Con Christ iansen, a live dairyman of Depoe Slough, visited Siletz Monday coming from Toledo afoot. The ground was frozen and these gentlemen enjoyed the trip very much. At the King a .good warm supper was awaiting them. The walk of nine miles gave them a keen appetite and of course they ev Joyed their supper very much. - A meeting was hastily gotten up at the Grange hall to commence at 8 p. m. Some fifteen or twenty of the prom inent dairymen met and Mr. Mickle addressed them on the subject of much Importance "The Oregon Dairy men s Co -Operative League." The speaker showed in a very conclusive way the Importance of organization and showed very plainly that the League with its strong articles of agreement was the best form of organ ization that could be produced to pro tect tne dairymen in their rights and to assure them of the best maiket for their products. The farmer in the fast has been imposed upon. He never could control the sale of his own products. The merchant and the mid dleman set the price on their own goods as well as on the product of the farm and the farmer could not help Aimself. Mr. Mickle showed how the League would do away with this kind of thing and pass the products of the farm directly to the consumer thus cutting out the middlemen and saving the profits to the producer. The clear logical way in which the speaker ex- plained the working of the League for the benefit of the farmer made a deep impression on the minds of his audi ence. Had the lecture been well ad vertised a large audlhce would have fceea present Mrs. Wade Hampton Daniels of Colvllle Reservation is now on a visit with her son, Jess, and her-daughter, Airs. May Calkins, who wns , the Crawford hotel and barn, and Jess and Culkius are engaged in the trucking Imaiuess. Mrs. Daniels will remain here for several weeks and before go ing back home she wants to visit the old home on the Big Elk where she pent about thirty years of her life. When she first went there the hills were covered with charred stumps and the great Are that swept over the country some seventy or eighty years the underbrush was all burned off by -ago. From her own cabin door at that time she could see herds of elk and deer playing and grazing on the green hills and drinking the water of Big Elk; and she could hear the ecream of the panther and growl of mountain lions and listen to the soft cadence of the rippling of the moun tain Btreams as they passed on to mingle their waters in the bosom of the great ocean. Here her children were born and here they played upon the green and bathed In the sparkling waters of the beautiful river. She will never see thote thinca aeain. The children have all scattered to the four I winds. They are net there. Things are changed. The birds may sing as sweetly and th.? chlpmonks may greet her with their chatter and the cotton tail rabbit, may scanper over the hills but the scenes that were once fami lar are now gone. 1 J. K. Weatherford of Albany, with a couple of strangers visited our town Tuesday. They pasesd on down to the Lower nay. Ira Wade, the good looking, indefatigable real estate gent wa3 also with the party Tues day. As spring opens we expect a great many visitors. Real estate will be gin to move as good weather approach es. Mr. Mickle thinks the Siletz Val ley will be aa good a dairy country as -the famous Coquelle Valley of Coos. SOUTH BEACH The cessation of the rain Is a Erca relief to people who have work to do for tne continual showers becume dis couraging when one has to be out lu it fsvery day. There has been a flour famine here for a few days as no flour was coming in and everybody was getting out of it, at the same time the slide on the railroad stopping freight has ben great inconvenience to the people of the Bay and Newport. Messrs. Star and Tracy of Newport were South Beach visitors last Sun day. Mr. Tracy will speak at the school house just after Sunday School next Sunday. Mr. Calburg and bride of North Dakota arrived at South Beach last Monday on their wedding tour, and will spend an lndnfinate time honey mooning before returning. Carl Tamm returned from Portland this week and thinks he is much im proved and reports an enjoyable tlma while there with old friends in the Salvation Army. Mr. Felton Is giving his house a -coat of shingles all over, making a very neat looking little cottage of it a few nice days and he will have it -completed. The rains have delayed his ivork for some time.' Hello pop" vjat cA Doing HOME ? SWEET CHITWOOD O. T. Smith made a trip to Toledo ana back Tuesday. A. B. Dwinell was on the sick list the first part of the week. R. L. Wlldman passed thru here on his way to Toledo Sunday. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Ira Crawford Tuesday, January 11th, a baby girl Mrs. Emma Wood and Mrs. Lydla Davis of Toledo were visiting friends here Wednesday and Thursday.. Dr. Ncwth came; from Philomath Monday returning next day. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Miller had the sad misfortune of loosing 'their only child one day last week. The baby fell into some boiling hot water which injured it very badly. The baby died a day or two later. Pastor Earnston of Albany was here Sunday and de livered the funeral sermon and the body was laid to rest at the Cbltwood cemetery. SILETZ SCHOOL The attendance In the Siletz schools is now completely up to normal again after the epidemic of measles. . - In the High School several opening periods were used for the practice of yells and songs for the basket ball game. On Friday, Jan.. 7th, the first inter high school game of the season was played in the gymnasium be tween the Newport and Slleix High School teams. The sidelines were densely crowded -with enthusiastic rooters, and the spirit of interest was very keen as the two quite evenly matched quintetes playea 'thru the first half with the Newport boys fin ally leading with a score of 10 to 8 as the whistle blew. During the second half there seemed to be greater con fidence, and the score ran close till h. stood 17 to It near the close of th contest, when, during the tense ex citement of the last minute of play Downey bf the Siletz team threw u field basket, making the score stand 18 to 17 In favor of Siletz as the last whistle sounded. After the game the girU of the 7lh-8th grades and H. S. held an informal reception to the play ers In the school building, and served some of those delectibles In the form of cake, sandwiches, salad, jello and coffee. The visiting boys in most hearty terms expressed their appre ciation of this unexpected reception and entertainment. The students of Siletz feel that the most desirable spirit Is to extend to the visitors not only the smaller score, but also to show them a hearty welcome and the hqppy spirit of entertainment. Many who witnessed the gam. also attend ed later the dance at Recreation Hall. The Community Club meets on Fri day Jan. 14th, and the school Is plann ing to furnish soma numbers for the program. The Travelling Library of sixty books secured by the Club and now at Mr. Chandler's store, is cer tainly somewhat popular. Most of the books are out for reading, some have been out more than once- during the last three weeks. This collection con tains some of the very best travel, biography, fiction and general works, and it is desired that they be used just as much as possible by all of the members of the community. 20 Reduction on all Suits and Overcoats, tailored to your measure, by "Strauss Bros." of Chicago.

Mr. Mickle represents the Oregon Dairy men's League, and the purpose of his visit here was to tell the Btory of the activities of the League in other parts of the state. Mr. Mickle came at the request of many dairymen in this sec tion who are seeking some way to market their products In an efficient manner. The local dairymen ex pressed a desire for the League to come to Lincoln county and appointed W. R. Tindall as chairman of a com mittee to organize this section as the League will not come In until a major portion of the dairymen . sign their contract, which is Ironclad. The local dairymen have taken no action yet. Mr. Mickle came In thru the Alsea country to Waldport, thence up to Toledo and then to Siletz, walking the distance between Toledo and Siletz with Con Christiansen. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AFTER LOWER LBR. RATES At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held at the Court House Wednesday evening many topics of importance came up for consideration. The paving of Railroad stree: was discussed at some length, as was also the paving of Hill street, contract for the latter having been recently let. V. K. Patterson was a delegate from the local Chamber of Commerce to the recent meeting of the State Chamber ut Portland, and at this time he made a very Interesting re port of events transpiring at that meeting. Among other things ac complished while at the Portland meeting was that of getting the en dorsement of the State Chamber for the Improving of the Yaquina River. Also the State Chamber endorsed the efforts of the local chamber to g:. a lower rate on ties from Yaquina Bay points to Portland, for re-shipment to the United Kingdom. The present rate from Yaquina bay to. Portland on ties Is 17c, while the rate from Tillamook to Portland is 11c. The haul from here to Portland Is a little longer than from Tillamook, but is over much easier grades. Jay W. Dunn has Ijul-ii aunt to Salem to meet with the Public Service Commission, ana It is hoped and expected that a rate of at least 12c. will) bs obtained. If this can be obtainad the local mills will -be able to secure tie contracts at a profit, where now they cannot com pete afall.

Smith sailed from SileU bay recently, wUh a big scow in tow, the scow being loaded with lumber and a pile driver rig belonging to Ralph Pepin. Soon after leaving the bay a storm sprang up.

The boat got Into Tillamook harbbr safely, but. the scow, lumber, and t ' driver was lost, going ashore on the Tillamook-county beuchen. The4rlving outfit was a new rig recently pun:h" ' by' Mr. Pepin at a cost of about $3000. .filsfil ABOUT THE ROADS Pub. of Lincoln Co. Leader, Toledo, Oreg. Dear Sirs: i Is Lincoln County bankrupt or are the road men asleep over there, that they refuse to keep their roads open and cafe for travel? $50 or $75, expended properly would fill ruts, cut brush and make the road so a horse could keep its footing and drivers would not be taking chances on being thrown over the grade Into the river. Negligence on some ones part is the cause of unanswered letters for help. This matter must be looked after and that soon as the road Is now blocked. As the mail carrier on the star route from Alsea to Tidewater, I stand ready to oversee any work) that may be granted us, as well as does also Mr. Flescher who is supervisor of that Dist. Please Lincoln wake up and do your duty. E. E. Hammercly. TWENTY-THREE YEARS AGO Items taken from the Leader of January 7th, 1898. Judges and Clerks of election for Toledo precinct are H. W.
