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.'

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.

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.

J- D. MICKLE HERE
Ex-Food and Dairy Commissioner
Mickle of Portland was In Toledo
Monday and addressed a gathering of
dairymen at the I. O. O. F. Hall. 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.

RALPH PEPIN
LOSES PILE DRIVER
The gas schooner L. E. 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 schooner bucked the storm until
it ran out of gasoline and was forced
to abandon the scow and run for port.
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.
