Waldport Items.

c. T. Coin and Jesse Coin are
visiting Waldport relatives.
Capt. Tyler, of Newport, came
down Saturday and took the Con-
dor to sea.
The Waldport Commercial Club
has joined the Oregon Development
League. The League now has
eighty-three members.
John Flemming Wilson, of the
Newport Mail, has been spending a
few days in Waldport investigating
the road controversy. We may ex-
pect some good reading matter in
this weeks issue.
Bart Mckinney, formerly of
Waldport has returned. Bart can
not find a vacant house here and is
talking of taking homestead on
the north side of the bay.
Frank L. Buker returned Satur-
day after attending the Toledo Fair
and session of the Executive Com
mittee which was held Thursday
Frank says he will see that Wald-
port has some exhibits next time.
The Condor arrived in Alsea Bay
October Sth in command of Capt.
Theorin. Shortly after she arrived
a dispute arose between George F.
Wittmer, stockholder in the Lum-
Der Company, and the Captain,
over some papers which Mr.. Witt
mer had in his possession. A fs-
tic encounter was the result. Mr..
| Wittmer swore out a warrant for
the captain and attempted to have
him placed under bonds to keep
the peace but Justice Coin could
not see any reason to expect any
more trouble so the captain was re-
leased, not however until he had
missed the stage for Newport.
The Lincoln County Booklets
have at last arrived in Waldport.
The Commercial Club received five
sample copies on the 7th and are
assured the others will be along IN
few days. These booklets are
very satisfactory to the local club
and Waldport certainly got her
moneys worth very much contrary
to the prediction of some Of the old
timers who refused to take a hand
in assisting the Newport Club in
getting the booklet out. We pre-
dict that a second edition of these
beautiful booklets will have to be
issued.

MORE THAN ENOUGH Is TO MUCH

TO maintain health, mature man
or woman needs just enough food to re.
pair the waste and supply energy and
body heat. The habitual consumption
of more food than is necessary for these
purposes is the prime cause of stomach
troubles, rheumatism and disorders of
the kidneys. If troubled with indipes-
tion, revise your diet, let reason and
not appetite control and take a few
doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets and you will soon be all
right again. For sale by Otto .. Krop.

Ior YOUR cdiiNaoo' LINK you VII
have at least one hundred for thai
purpose. / know a number Of re,
publicans who will give a dollar tc
see Fogarty out and you have not a
| very hard man to beat if you gel
right at it. The evidence is so con-
vincing that it could hardly be over
looked. Don't get tangled up in
any way till you come here and see
the thing as it is and go up and have
look at the road too. Kent has
done a little more work on it as they
have been pressing him for all they
are worth to have the thing i'm
proved, but we will have affidavits
to show that work was done after
the road was accepted for the pur-
pose of making it appear that we
lied about it but it will not go as we
are too strong for them.
Now Cook don't hesitate but get
down here for it is a chance you
will not get again. Let them think
l will be out and that will probably
leave the field clear for you and
FoRarty, and that will be just the
thing for you. Success to you.

Waldport, Or, Oct. 2, 1908.
Mr.. H. H. Cook,
Toledo, Oregon.
My dear Cook
Enclosed you will find some
papers of interest to look over.
If you can find a good socialist
friend who will get the boys on it
and return it to me we will see if
the business of this county can be
sighted in the future as it has in
the past. 1t makes no difference
who the contractor is or whether he
earned his money. The people did
not get the road contracted for and
that is where we have a kick COM
ing.
Archie Rowin started today up
the Alsea to get signatures. We
have done well getting them here at
Waldport and on down the beach.
We will have 10 trouble having the
required number of 262 but want
as many more as we can get.
The Attorney General does not
have to pass his opinion on the re-
call. The law provides that the
County Clerk must call an election
if the petition is presented and no
court has a right to inquire into
the charges or to pass on their
truthfulness.
Please get some action on this
and get it into my hands as soon as
possible. | want to file it on the
ninth if possible but we have been
delayed about getting the contract
and other information for the voters
who live in other parts of the county.
Sincerely your friend,
Ready.
P.S.
You will find that few of Kent's
friends here will not sign but that is
local. Others of your party will
readily sign / think. The republi-
cans and democrats as a rule are
willing to let things go as they may
but it falls to the lot of the socialist
party to get in and show the others
that law has at last been passed
which gives a minority party a
chance to do a little CLEANING nm i'm

DRY FARMING WOULD APPLY HERE

That practically every foot of the
semi-arid lands Of Umatilla county
will produce crops under the dry
farming methods now in use in the
arid districts of Kansas, Nebraska
and Wyoming. is the belief of j. s
Welch Of Chicago, dry farming ex-
pert formerly of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
who was in the city today on his way
to Portland on business.
IT have seen drier land than you
have in Umatilla county converted In
to fine farming land which is now
supporting a good population and
yielding a handsome income to the
owners. True, this land looked for
bidding when the pioneer dry farm
ers went upon 1t. 1t was without wa
ter, had but little rainfall and was
barren of vegetation and exceedingly
unpromising. Some OF It was fairly
good range land for portion of each
year but it was not first class wild
grass land.
"But the patient farmers have
plowed 1t deep, cultivated 1t frequent
ly, disced It, narrowed It, rolled 1t and
packed It down with the moisture Of
the winter season in the soil and II Is
now yielding from 80 to IS bushels
of corn, good yields Of dry land alfal.

THUNDER FAILS TO APPEAR.
Heavy Rain Fell Northwest Of Town
Yesterday.

AS far as Pendleton was concerned
the thunderstorm promised for last
night did not appear. Though q
small sized duststorm occurred be-
tween and o'clock yesterday after
noon not a drop OF rain fell. Conse-
quently last night was the hottest Of
the season and sleep was difficult
during the early hours Of the night
Reports received here show that the
windstorm was more severe in other
parts Of the county. Two hard blows
occurred at Pilot Rock and the Sec
ond, about 6 o'clock, darkened the
town so that the lights had to be
turned on.
Ten miles northwest of Pendleton
it rained furiously during the after
noon and 1t is said three inches Of
rain fell at the w. P. Temple place.
Today Is Cooler.
Though today has been far from
cool, the thermometer did not run as
high today as yesterday. At l o'clock
this afternoon it registered 106 in the
shade on the north side and a breeze
prevailing during a portion Of the
afternoon has helped matters mater
tally.

LEVEE WORK BEGUN.
At Present Rate VIII Be Finished
Easy by Firs of November.

ANNg py hSN OA
Work on the levee repairs and ex-
tensions is now progressing rapidly
and II 1t is continued at the present
rate the entire work will easily be
completed before the first of Novem-
ber.
W. C. Belts has sub-let the work OF
building the embankment to Contrac-
tor Jewett and the latter now has a
crew Of men at work on the 500 foot
extension to the wing wall at the up
per end of the levee. About two
thirds of the. embankmeht work at
that point has been completed and
the rip-rapping will soon be under
way.
When the force of men now at
work on the wing wall finish there
will be transferred to the lower end
of the levee which is to be extended
to the Matlock island.
Mr.. Belts himself is doing the work
on the toe wall between the Main
street bridge and the Lee street
bridge. The foot wall is being built
only where the condition Of the levee
makes it needed.

Berlin, July 22.-Showing that a
European war at this time would cost
sixteen billions annually and would
result in the United States becoming
the undisputed leader of the world,
General Blume, a famous military
expert, today submitted a report or
dered by Emperor William, on the
probable cost.
II Germany were to fight another
European power Blume says It would
cost the empire one billion and a half
yearly in direct outlay, entailing a
loss Of two billion and a half annu-
ally in the paralysis of commerce.
Bume declares that owing to the
delicate adjustment of European poll
tics, the next war will involve at least
four powers and that his estimate Of
cost applies to each. Such a finan-
cial burden would result in the supre-
macy Of the United States.

ia and excellent barley, oats and COW
peas.
"The land that was once almost
valueless in its rough state is now
worth from $25 to $50 per acre and is
supporting heavy population. The
dry farming area is spreading con-
stantly. Like the growth of timber
which follows thesettlement westward
dry farming is coming clowly west
ward and witfAn few years it will
reach the arid section of Idaho and
Oregon.
"You do not need half Of the mois-
ture you think you do to produce
good crops. By cultivating the land
and holding the winter moisture in 1t,
almost any Of your desert land will
grow good crops.
"I believe that this system will re-
deem the west as quickly as irriga-
ton and the cost Of installing the sys-
tenn Is so much less than that OF irri-
cation, that poor men can go upon
dry land empty handed and within a
few years be independent, while un-
der irrigation the poor man must
have the price Of the water in addi-
ton to the price of the land and un-
deR many OF the systems must wait
for several years for water"

Oregon Yield Good,
Uniform Apple Packing.

At a meeting of the Willamette
Valley Apple Growers association held
Saturday in the Board Of Trade rooms
It was decided not to enter the mar
ket actively this year. The annual
apple fair was also postponed until
1909 says the Salem Journal. The
most important action Of the apple
growers was their decision to adopt a
uniform pack. The Lownsdale pack
will in the future be the official pack
of the Willamette Valley Apple Grow
ers' association, and uniform label
will be printed, which can be used BY
all the members of the association.

BANDITS FARE WE'LL.
HOld-up Stage in Nevada and Take
$4,000 From Wells-F Fargo Box.

Reno, New, July 22.-United States
police are today watching every sta
ton along the Southern Pacific in
the northern part of Nevada for the
two bandits who held up the stage
coach between Likely and Alturas
late Monday night, securing the
Wells Fargo box, containing s2S, 1000.
After stopping the horses they or
dered the driver and express agent to
throw down the box. They then
made the driver whip his horses and
leave the scene.
None of the passengers were aware
of the hold up because it was accom-
plished so quickly.
The money was the pay roll Of the
Nevada California & Oregon railway
and several stock camps.

that, as a matter Of fact, the court

FLOAT RAILROAD BONDS.
Central Pacific Must Have Money to
Pay Off Its Debts.

New York, July 22.-It was an
nounced here today that the floata-
tion of eighteen million dollars in
Central Pacific first mortgage and
refunding bonds Will be undertaken
at once by the Kuhn Loeb company,
the speyer company and the National
City bank.
The price Of the bonds is undecld-
ed, but 1t may be near the market
price which is 81 3-4.
The money may be used for the IL
quidation Of the Central Pacific's
floating debt of fifteen million dol
lars.
The bonds will be guaranteed by
the Southern Pacific. The Union Pa
cific will probably get the bigger por-
ton Of the issue because 1t Is the
Central Pacific's highest creditor.

from the scene OF the wrecked steam
er Anubis, which according to last

writers of San Francisco, left for the
wreck from the oil port, Gaviota.
