DRIVE FOR RELIEF FUND
FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
SUCCESS
Through the generosity of 'Jie citi
zens of the town and vicinity, the
drive to raise emergency funds to
furnish relief for those families who
have been hurt seriously by the flood,
and are without immediate resources
with which to purchase food, and nec
essary supplies, has beenj successful.
So far there has not been a very
generous response In the clothing and
bedding line, but it is early yet, and
without doub'. articles will accumulate
swiftly. The committee will meet
Saturday at the Commercial Club
rooms and sort and list articles. Word
has been received that a wagon load
of BuppiicB has been accumulated In
Newport and is on the way to the Low
er Siletz. The commi tee has asked
that nothing badly worn be donated,
and that all articles be laundered and
mended.
Through misunderstanding some
families between adjoining territories
may have been overlooked, but we as
sure you we wouldn't have misled you
Intentionally. Curoful consideration
will be given of all Instances where
funds are disbursed, and the utmost
ciro taken to see that they go whore
they will do the most good, and that
sirlct account Is given to the commit
tee for all expenditures.
