TOLEDO CLAIMS BIG ADVANTAGES FOR DEVELOPMENT "Five Valley Town". .Has Prac tically Unlimited Timber Re sources and Wants Factories. GOOD ROADS ARE ASSURED Back" Country Produces Berries; 4 Land Also Supports Dairy Cat tle and Grows Foodstuffs. By K. 3. Davis Toledo, May 24. Toledo, the Ave vaV ley town and the county Beat of Lincoln county. Oregon, la on the C. 4 E. rail road and the Yaquina bay, about 10 mile from Newport. Oregon's greatest summer sea ' resort. : and about 75 miles from Salem, the capital of the state. The tides from the ocean come up the Yaquina bay and river And extend far up above Toledo, thus furnishing Toledo, an outlet for large boats and ships eoralnr In from the ocean. 'Vessels carrying- half a million feet of lumber have loaded at Toledo docks and crossed the bar at Newport on their way to Ban Francisco and other ports. Ished deepening the channel at Toledo, and large boats or ships can now load and unload at- the Toledo docks, which occupy about half a mile alone the waterfront of the town. I BOADS AUK IMPBOTED Much money is being- spent in Improv ing; the county roads. Lincoln county will soon have' good roads leading; out from Toledo Into the many rich valleys and timber sections of the county. When these roads are completed and con nected with the Roosevelt highway, when It la built., and with the vaJlev roada. Toledo will be connected with the out side world by good auto roads, by rail road, and by ecean routes, thus Riving; this coming; pity advantages over many other towns- of the state. The town 1 located on a peninsula, having; the Olalla river on the east, Yaquina bay and river on the south and Depoe slough, an arm of the bay, on the west or waterfront. , The . peninsula slopes up from the waterfront to the top and then down on the east to the Olalla, and on the south to the Taqulna, river.' . 'v On these slopes of the peninsula, but mostly on the east and south sides, are built the residences of the town. Many -of these residences are bungalows. "FIT VALLEY TOWN .Toledo may be called the five valley town. The five valleys coming into the town are: The lower Yaquina, the upper Yaquina, extending many miles Into the interior; the Olalla, a beauti . f ul ''berry" country ; the Depoe, ex tending up several miles, and Run bot tom. These valleys, extend out some distance and have tributary many Ins; cleared and cultivated for fruits, berries and vegetables.. and for pasture lands for cattle and dairy stock. The chief Industry at present Is lumbering-. "'There are four sawmills 1b the town, three of which are running; con tinuously, employing many hands. The big government mill, costing $1,000,000. Is SO ni Mnt rnmnlfltpfl. work An tha mill topping- when the armistice was signed. The big government mill and one of the other three are located on the big flat just across Depoe slough from the waterfront. The other two mills, the railroad depot, the electrio light plant, boathouse, cannery, creamery, hotels and other business houses, are located on uw wnienrgui near uio uucmi jiuo taurant and other business houses are located on next street above the water front, all being near the depot and the docks. TOWK HAS HIGH SCHOOL .Toledo has business houses, lodges, churches and two school buildings, one for the grades and a large high -school building-. The schools are a credit to 'the town. Two large reservoirs con veniently located oh the hill supply the good - water, brought In pipes from mountain springs about five miles dis tant. The electrio light plant, run by fuel ' -obtained from the sawmills, furnishes light and power for both Toledo and Newport. . . The three Industries which will build tip the city are: Stock raising, Includ ing sheep, goats and dairy cattle for dairy purposes t the raising of fruits, berries and vegetables for market and for the home cannery ; the great lumber Industry, which Is only started. 'Few localities, if any. can surpass -this naruon in nflrrira M.nn varsTn niai evmrgreen blackberry jrtrwa wild and U - "very prolific This berry U con TOLEDO," THE TOWN OF THE FIVE yALLEYS, .jfto -"t'vrvz':'--'VVa (f " ' y v - V" "T 'V . ; I -s V "'J 4 111 It ' f A " V . ... - V ' 1 a ' -rt . , - w - -jt - , ' Xa WiV I .... , ,4 :,.. ax, -J1 -JJj - :-. :! i ,i s finnyy . lii I lit, ,, . i it,:, i t;. . .

Pasture Is so abundant that cows and cattle need no feed for six-to eight months in the year. The creamery business Is just started. When the farmers raise bat- hay. root crops and other things, and store away feed in silos for the four or five months of winter, the expense of keeping cattle and- cows through winter will be les sened. The supply of timber for the sawmills Is practically unlimited. It is claimed by good authorities that if all the mills, Including the big government mill with capacity of half a million feet per day, were run continuously for 60 years, all could not exhaust the supply of avail able "timber. This town, it seems. Is an Ideal loca tion for a furniture and box factory. With the industries mentioned, and oth ers to be developed, it is felt locally that tho future prosperity of Toledo is assured. Appropriation of Columbia College Raised by Board Milton, May 24 Rev.

Gilliland says In a letter received by Mrs. John Paris of East Hoyt and Grand avenue, that he is the "luckiest fellow in the world not o get hit but once." Private Gilliland, at the age of 21, gave up his prosperous farm, selling his tools and teams, and enlisted April 24, 1917. He is awaiting discharge now at Camp Pike, Ark, after experiencing many thrilling adventures. On one occasion he was personally commended by Major General Bullard for his bravery in rescuing a wounded comrade under in tense artillery fire. ' In his letter dated May S he tells; some pf'his impressions and experiences. In his trip from Camp Upton he traveled through J$ew, Jersey, 'Virginia; Ten nessee, Oklahoma and Mississippi.- Vir ginia impressed him most unfavorably, both because of the "poor" land and the large ratio of negro population. In the terrific drive at Soissons during July he lost all souvenirs, laboriously .collected, except a few German coins, which were taken away from him after his capture by the enemy. The only souvenir he brings home Is a little battle scarred testament, sent him by his mother while he was at El Paso, Texas. This little book has been with htm through many exciting times. For 185 days it was in the front line, saw two fights, went over the top . six times and spent five months in the German prison camps. It was with Private Gil liland when he was wounded at Sois sons. and later when he was knocked down by the butt ef ' a rifle in the hands of a 200-pound German, and was carried Into the enemy's country. Twice it saw his attempts to escape frustrated. Gilliland expects to be home soon, al though he does not know definitely yet when he will receive his discharge. Free Zones Approved Washington.
