Siletz will celebrate the glorious
Fourth of July in due patriotic
style this year. Already committees
have been named, and a good-sized
sum of money has been already
raised to defray the expenses of the

start in on it.
A car load of chittim bark was
shipped by c. c. Mcbride, the
Little Elk merchant, to San Fran
cisco last week. The gathering
and sale of this bank is getting to
be considerable of an industry in

We are under obligations to

trout, caught from the Siletz river.

shape. Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton are
prepared to keep parties that come
to that part Of the county for
pleasure, having some very COM

Albany, and had been working in
a restaurant at that place until she

A couple Of mighty hunters from
this place went over to Otter Rock
last Tuesday to kill a bear that had
been making trouble over there.
They started early and got to the
hunting ground about ten O'Clock.
Tying their horse in good grass and

Bruin came along. But alas, the
day was warm, the road had been
long, the shade was pleasant, and
