Then No. 2 began to speak, and so the
meeting went.
We need not tell you what they said
they were on vengeance bent.
The chairman then appointed a great
whale committee there
To go and seize the Long Brick Store
and not a soul to spare.
They started off one moonlight night;
the silver waves were still.
AS tough as whalebone was each heart,
as strong as iron each will.
Then nearer, nearer to our coast they
came, this whaling band,
But they scurried along the bottom,
for you see they needed sand.
The nearer came they to our shores,
the more they heard it said
That prices at the Long Brick Store,
would turn the best whales head.
They whispered it among themselves,
Its worse than we bad thought,
The prices must have dropped still
more since brother Bill was caught.
"One-fourth, one-third, and even less,
they're asking for mems wear.
This whale sale must be CROWN fast,
the news spreads every where"
But finally they reached a port, saw
news they didn't like;
In Northerner which they borrowed
from a friendly wall-eyed pike.
They read the prices, then struck out
due northward from the shore
Down, down the prices on clothing went
at Paw Paws Long Brick Store.
But whales are all outdone, done up,
SuDdupd forever moro
Their low prices demands a whaling
bushes at the Whaling One-Price
Store.

The Oregon Pacific with all and
singular was sold to Bonner &
Hammond, Of Montana, by Sheriff
Osburn on Saturday the 22nd, 70,
the sum Of one hundred thousand
dollars. This virtually means moth
ing for the meu who toiled so long
and faithfully for the o. p, and
stood by it through all its crooked
and winding career, as it is prob
able that this sum will be paid out
as court fees and taxes to Marion,
Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties.
However we are Of the opinion that,
under the circumstances, it would
be for the best interests for, the
working men and for the whole
cout.ry to have this sale confirmed
1t for the past we are to Judge the
tutufe, 1t does not seem probable
and is hardly possible that the road
will ever bring greater sum, for
II must be taken into consideration
that even though Receiver Clark
has paid the men promptly and put
Ill anany hnndred new ties, the
read must, in the very nature Of
things, soon wear out, and ii the
rolling stock and bridges are not
repaired and rebuilt, the railroad
must cease operations. Our sym-
pathy is row, and always have
ocen wills ,,:t men who have'toiled
through mud and rain to keep the
o.. P. open when other roads have
been washed out. But we do not
see any prospects ahead, and if the
men must lose their hard earned
money, 1t might be, better for all
concerned to have the sale confirmed
to men who are a bic and willing to
build the road to an eastern con-
nection, and put new life and blood
into the Oregon Pacific,

The program of exercises at the
school house OH Christmas Eve was
we'll rendered. The tree was beau
-tifully decorated with about three
hundred presents, every child got
something which made their eyes
sparkle. O. G, Dalaba represented
St. Nicholas, and P. N. Lathrop
Santa Claus. These gentlemen
performed their parts we'll, making
much fun for the children. The ex-
ercises consisted of songs, declama-
tons, dialogues, select reading in
terspersed with good instrumental
music by Arthur Rochester with
the violin and Miss Jessie Lathrop
presiding at the organ. The even
ing was bright and clear and every
body seemed to enjoy themselves
huely. The shooting match was
also success. Some fifty persons
were present from Chitwood, Pio-
neer, Toledo and Yaquina City.
The shooting was animated and
lively, some fine shots were made,
sixty yards with a rest and forty

DR.. Carter is with US to look after
the sick, but to night (the 23,) was
called to Pioneer. He started out
about 8 o'clock p. n., hanging his
lantern on his arm 10 see his way
out. We wish him success during
his trip over the muddy road, and
also with his patient.
Mrs Jim Thompson died OIL the

Xmas is at hand, and makes
things pretty lively for a time, max
ing most everybody stir here and
there buying presents tor their
children and friends.
The Christmas tree is cut, up,
loaded and unloaded with its orna-
llnents. The school house was
crowded on Xmas Eve. The door
opened at seven o'clock. The ex-
ercises by the children begun about
7;15 o'clock, and aftetst the last song
by the 1ittlegiEls, Sapta, Claus drew
his sleigh up at the front door.
Then all was quiet till the old gray
haired Santa Claus came in. The
children were very glad to see him
there after they had found out what
he was there for. The old gentle
MEN spoke in Chinook and told
them why he came and how long
he had been travelling. After he
got through with his speech pres
ents were delivered. 1t has been
estimated that $500 worth or pres
ents were delivered Xmas Eve.
The writer will not give all the
details Of the evening,
T:sre was a c-.and bail at Met
calls hall on Christmas night. Not
less than thirty tickets were sold.
The hall was crowded. Siletz is
all there for a good time whenever
there is time to have they have it
with full blast, Hurrah! ...'
The two stores were pretty busy
during Christmas. It took three
clerks to to wait OH the customers
at both stores, yet they had hard
days of it especially on Monday.
Yet about one fourth Of the people
diden'tget what they wanted to get.
We might call it run short at the
stores.
