Arose very early to have long play.
But what to do first twas hard to decide.

And play catch fish, and I'll be the cook"
Said Ted, Ono, I'll tell you Let's make mud pies,
And I'll be the baker, you the woman that buys
Said Nan, Ono, I'll tell you much better play.
Let's play we are farmers, and III ride the hay -
Said Ted, Ono, III tell you. Let's play there's war,
And you III be the prisoner that I'm fighting for.'
Said Man, ono let play Gypsy, and III be the queen,
And II rub you with dust, you won't be cean.'
Said Ted, SNo, III tell you. Let the steps be ship,
And III be the captain and go off trip
Said Nan, emo, III tell you. Twill be fun to play

CHARTER OAK MILL BURNED
Fire Is Supposed to Have Started
From Sparks From Engine

The Charter Oak sawmlll, owneu
and operated by Fred j. Oberer, on
the Helmick place south OF Mon
mouth, burned about 8 o'clock Satur-
dav morning. The fire is supposed
to have started from sparks from tne
engine. 1t is reported that the greater
mart of the machinery was not
damaged so as to be unfit for USE
The principal loss is the betting,
building, and small amount OF
lumber. About $4,000 worth of lumber
in the yard was saved.
Mr.. Oberer feels the loss keenly' out
is not in the least discouraged, ana
will soon have his mill in operation
again. The Charter Oak mill saws a
large amount of oak timber each
wear, and is an important industry OF
Polk county, as it gives steady EN-.
ployment to a considerable force Oh
hands at good wages. The product
of the mill is shipped to all parts OF
the country and brings substantlal
sum of money into Polk county every
year.

sILETz RICH IN TIMBER
Railroad Survey Party Loud in
Praise of the Section.

The surveying party OF the ). Chap-
man Lumber Company that has been
in the Coast Range Mountains since
May 2s, completed its task Saturday.
coming out at point no one guessed
says the Independence correspondent
of the Oregonian. The survey as
completed Saturday intersects the
Southern Pacific scarcely half a mile
south of Independence, near the OLD
racetrack. The surveying crew, COM
prising Is men, is in charge OF Engi-
neer L. NJ. Rice.
The timber found in the Siletz
Basin was a revelation to the party,
many of whom are experienced timber
men and surveyors. There is enough
timber in the SiIetz country, says
Chief Engineer Rice, to last so years
after it is made accessible by rail. The
route terminating at Independence IS
a very feasible one and, according to
the survey, it is not over 45 miles into
the heart of the rich Siletz Basin.
Terminating here, timber over the
proposed route could be handled by
rail or river, and the Southern Pacific
is Just completing spur from within
a few rods of where the survey ended
Saturday into the bed Of the river. A
road over this survey would also
