At Upper Beaver Greek

A religious service was held July
4th at Upper Beaver Creek, which
was the first gathering of any kind
ever held in the neighborhood. 1t
was well attended. The grove was
beautifully arranged, and after SER
vice a table was bountifully spread
with the necessary things of life.
Hot coffee and lemonade was sup
piled in abundance for all. In the
afternoon w. G. Marion gave a
Fourth of July grafton, which was
appreciated and inspiring to all
present. The children sang
couple OF good songs, which brought
applause from the congregation. A
swing and merry-go-round was
provided for the children and after
services they kept them busy, and a
happier set of children you seldom
find. Old and young people en-
ioyed the day throughout.

Chitwood
Well, Chitwood is still in t

Well, Chitwood is still lin the
swim"
The 4th has passed and now we
all turn our attention to our crops,
but it don't look much like making
hay. Lincoln isn't a dry county,
you know.
The 9Th, 9th and 9TH were juicy
days and still the mist floats in the
air occasionally.
Chitwood was well represented at
Newport the 4th and 5th and some
haven't returned yet. Maybe too
much bug juice.
A few days since Mr.. Beatty came
near having burn out. The stove
pipe came apart between the ceiling
and the roof and the roof caught
fire. Mr. Beatty happened to be in
the woodhouse and happened to
look out and saw the smoke rolling
out. He ran up to the top of the
house as soon as possible, but his
shoes were smooth and he slipped
off the house quicker than he got
up, but as good luck would have it
lit right side up and with the excep-
ton of little jar was alright. He
made another bound for the roof
and about that time Rufus Chitwood
came to his assistance and they soon
mastered the flames.
J. d. Chitwood of Damascus and
his son, H. M. Chitwood, were
visiting relatives the fore part of the
week.
1. j. Pepin has chance to crow
now. His new saddle horse came
out first and best at the horse races
at Newport Monday. Say now,
she's clipper.
Archie Wilson, late from the in
dustrial academy at Royal, near
Cottage Grove, is peeling chittim
bark for J. E. Wilson.
Uncle Jimmie Mcdonald has been
on the sick list the past week but is
better now.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS
FOR TOLEDO
Franchise Granted and Plant
to Be Completed Within
Six Months.

At an adjourned session of the
City Council Wednesday evening a
franchise was granted H. l.. Collins,
A. C. Smith and j. F. Stewart to
build and operate an electric light
plant and distributing system in
the city of Toledo. The work on
the plant is to begin within three
months and is to be completed
within six months.
The rate to be charged for the
lights is to be governed by the
council and is to he taken from an
average of the price charged by
light plants of five towns of like
size in Oregon. The price for arc
lights for the city will be $3.50 per
month for each 1900 candle power
arc light.
The franchise is for twenty-five
years, but should the city wish to
purchase the plant at any time,
under the terms of the franchise, it
may do so.
1t is also understood that the
light company also intends operat-
ing creamery and cold storage
plant which will also be great
help to Toledo and vicinity.

pics, principally patriotism and the
