His Checks Worthless.

The police are seeking to locate Fred
Harriet of Bridport. who left here sud
denly about one week ago, after using
the check book of his father-in-law, F. A.
Myrick. He left sick wife at the home
of relative, and is supposed to have had
small sum of money in his possession.
1t is reported that the Swanton National
bank cashed check for $25 for him and
that c. NJ. Morse of Rutland, cashed an
other for $40. 1t is probable that other
checks will be heard from later.
Mr.. Myrick has notified tine Middlebury
National bank to cash no more Of his
checks, but several already had been
drawn by Harriet on himself payable
here, where he has no account. The
bank has issued the following warning:
1.-The bankers and public are hereby
warned against cashing any checks
signed by Fred Harriet on the National
bank of Middlebury. This party is un-
known to us and evidently purloined a
check-book belonging to another person.
Harriet is light complexioned man
smooth faced, about "a years old, and is
five feet, nine inches in height.

Composition of Cottolene

Cottolene is composed of but two in
gradients. Carefully selected Cottolene oil
and choice Beef Suet Known commercial
ly as Oleo Slearine, there is no purer vege-
table oil than Cottonseed oil and nothing
more wholesome than Beefsuet. The
natural color of Cottonseed Oil is yellow,
Cottoene used to be yellow, but the Fair
banks exclusive process of bleaching and
refining the oil removes the color and Cotto-
lene is now WHITE, TASTELE SS and
ODORLESS COTTOLENE is a perfect SUBJ
stitute for butter in making delicate cakes. In
pastry, such as pie crust, Cottolene exceis
producing crisp bright haky crust, with
out being greasy. Cottolene is an ideal fry
ing medium, it can be heated 30 degrees
hotter than lard or butter without burning.
When doughnuts or fritters are drop
ped in it, it crsps them up quickly and it
will not soak in as lard does
COttOlene is economical, one third
less than that of butter or lard is required
TO produce equally good results.
COttO1ene is prescribed by lead
ing physicians for dyspeptics and consump-
tives. Every pail is inspected and passed
uuder the pure food law.
Try a Pail and
be Convinced.

Enlarge the School Districts.

1t is no wonder teachers are hard
to secure in our outlying districts.
Being a little unhandy to reach, per-
haps, is partly the cause, but very
little part. The main reason is the
low salary. Many of the districts
that have the most trouble have not
money to pay their teacher more
than $50 or $35 per month and
have the required number of months
to maintain their district, and 80
long as teachers can get from $40 to
$40 per month elsewhere they will
not come to Lincoln county, and we
haven't enough teachers in the
county to teach our schools.
The districts that usually have
the most trouble TO secure teachers
are really in the best position to pay
the salary that some teachers dream
OF, and that others know they should
receive, for they can, by enlarging
their districts and taking in some of
the valuable timber lands, and then
voting small tax of two or three
mills, pay such q salary that many
of our best teachers would be glad
to get. There are thousands of acres
of the best timber lands in the
county that is not in any district at
all. ] hope to see every foot of land
in Lincoln county in some district
and then two mill special school
tax will bring in from $50 to $500
to each district in addition to what
they now receive. When this is
done there may be a scarcity Of
teachers but it will not be in tho
districts that are in trouble now,
Let us see what can be done.

The object of this visit through

the fact that it is simply to inspect
the timber and other resources along
the proposed extention Of Harri-
mans railroad down the coast from

Good Roads Meeting.

W call Vi Iile loleuO DeVelOpmenJ
League, a good roads meeting was
held at the courthouse in this place.
Owing to the fact that the meeting
had not been announced but short
time there was not very large at
tendance, but what the meeting
lacked in number was made up in
enthusiasm. Representatives from
Chitwood, Elk City, Newport and
Siletz were present. Judge J. HI.
Scott of Salem, president of the
Oregon Good Roads Association,
and Senator johnson of Corvallis,
president of the Benton County
Bank, were here and addressed the
people on good roads.
County Judge B. F. Swope pre-
sided over the meeting and intro
Guced the speakers. County Com
missioner John Kentta and several
road supervisors were also in atten-
dance.
Senator johnson was the first
speaker, but having to return home
on the early aftern oon train had
to cut his speech to short.
Judge Scott then spoke, reviewing
the history of rord building from
the time of the Roman Empire.
He told of the methods of building
roads at that time and of the ex-
cellent condition of the roads today
that were built at that early day
He said we did not need nor could
not expect to build such roads as
the Romans built, but we could
build good, substantial roads at
comparatively small expense. He
showed how good permanent roads
could be built with but six inches
of rock or gravel on top Of a we'll
rolled and packed dirt foundation.
He showed by illustrations how to
build dirt foundations by rolling
and packing the dirt in layers, and
how to put on the rock or gravel
also in layers, each layer being
thoroughly packed. The Judge is
in favor of convict labor on road
building. He said they were used
in Marion county and, he thought,
could be used in other counties OF
the state. He wants to see a good
road built running north and south
through the entire state and wants
Lincoln county to build a road tc
the Valley to connect with the state
, road.
After the speaking was over il
was decided. to organize a County
Good Roads Association to work in
conjunction with the State associa.
ton, in causing good road laws tc
be enacted. Judge Swope was elec.
ted temporary chairman of the or.
ganization, and G. B. Crosno tenn
porary secretary Chairman Swopt
then appointed committee of five
on permanent organization anC
constitution and bylaws. The
meeting then adjourned to meet il
the circuit court room in Toledo or
Thursday, October s, at 3 O'Clock
p. m. for the purpose of effectinl
permanent organization.
After the meeting Judge Scot
went down to Newport and talked
good roads. Saturday morning
County Commissioner John Fogart,
drove over the roads between New.
port and Toledo with the Judge t,
give the latter some idea of the con
dition OF our county roads. Tn,
plank road leading out of Toled,
was inspected and the Judge though
that plank roads would be the bes
and cheapest for this county.
c. M. Collins and children re
, turned Monday afternoon to Port
