LOCAL IN BRIEF.

A big coachload of Toledoites
went down to hear Hon. D. Soils
Cohen Of Portland discuss the i'm
portance of the exposition at Port
land in 1905. Preceding the gentle
mans entertaining address was a
pleasing musical and literary pro-
gram. Little Miss Ramona Rollins
bf Portland, aged 3H wears, the
greatest soprano of her age in the
world, perhaps, made every lover
OF music In the audience wan, to
steal her. Miss Holmes, the elocu-
zionist, was not ON the program for
that evening, but good-naturedly
responded to an urgent request and
gave couple OF delightful select
lons--oue as an encore, of course.
She always wins an encore. Mr..
Cohen is a fluent, impressive speak
er, and left no doubt that he was
thoroughly familiar and in perfect
sympathy with his theme. He is
an energetic, broad-minded gentle
man, and one of Oregon's most able
champions. The audience was not
as large as it would have been had
not many citizens Of Toledo been
out of the city and unable to join
the delegation.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. F. Holm re-
turned Wednesday evening from
Wenatchee, Wash, for which place
they deserted Toledo last January.
The climate of Washington failed to
agree with Mrs. Holm, and now
they are back in Toledo to stay--so
their many friends hope. Their
daughter Bessie is at present visit
ing her grandmother. near Philo-
math.
J.C. Stratford, the photographer,
pulled up stakes Tuesday and went
down to Newport for day on the
beach. He passed through yester-
day morning on his way to his home
at Roseburg. Mr.. Stratford is the
best photographer that ever pitched
his tent in Toledo, and his work
has been highly and generally
complimented.
Chinook salmon are making their
appearance in the bay. H. E.
Peterson caught a 3o-pounder
Wednesday on troll near the mouth
of Mill creek. The fish was game
and gave him a good. hard fight.
He has opened the season in great
style, but is wearing his honors
with becoming modesty.
Attorney B. F. Swope and family
returned Saturday from their out
ing at the beach, accompanied by
Mrs. Swope's father, who visited
with them couple of days before
returning to his home at Oregon
City.
