Waldport.

w HcI iloIle ldSI Week dlCer Spenu-
ing the summer in Waldport.
Owing to the severe storms last
week it was impossible to get the
mail through to Tid.water every
day.
George Rowin, postmaster at Bay
View, was a Waldport visitor last
Wednesday.
Mrs. James Tyler has returned to
Waldport. Mr.. Tyler has been
here for some time making repairs
to their resident property.
o. V. Hurt came down from
Yaquina last Saturday. Mr.. Hurt
is arranging to lay off some lots at
the mouth of the Tachats.
The Waldport postoffice is doing
a good business in the registry de-
partment, Notwithstanding the in
crease in the fee to ten cents.
Mrs. Carol Barclay of Tidewater
was visiting her parents in Wald-
port last week.
DR.. Linton has bought the Ever
son boat house. This will protect
one-third of the Doctors fleet from
the winter storms.
Our road supervisor was called
upon last week to open the road
leading from Waldport to the beach.
This he would not do because his
map furnished by the commissioners
does not show it to be a county
road. AS this is the only practical
route south a petition should be
circulated at once asking for a road
to be opened there. The south end
surely needs few roads.
Will H. Wann returned home
Monday from a months stay in
Portland. He was accompanied by
his brother, Fred, who will visit
Waldport a week or ten days. Fred
got in too late this year to enjoy the
hunting, but says he will do better
next time.
Prof. Brown was compelled to be
away from school three days last
week on account of the sickness OF
his wife. James Coin, brother OF
our school superintendent, had
charge during this time.
Harold w. Strong, a prominent
attorney from Portland, has been
exporting the books of the Wald-
port Lumber Company. The cause
of this is unknown but it is supposed
that sale of the property is con-
templated.

4 MIA and Margaret Caddagan, SIS
"a tiers of the late John P. Caddagan,
for many years proprietor of the Hoff-

hotel since his death. Miss Anna Cad
dagan has become general manager
and has been elected director of the
corporation which owns the property.
She is assisted by Miss Margaret Cad
dagan. The post of steward, which
is one of the most important in the
administration of a big hotel, is at the
Hoffman house now held by Miss
Mary Boyle, who for many years has
been a friend of the Caddagan family
and who was appointed steward by
Mr.. Caddagan several years ago. She
came to New York from the south to
engage in business and went to the
Holman house to live. Mr.. Cadda-
gan, attracted by her grasp of bust
ness conditions and knowledge of
marketing on a. large scale, prevailed
on her to accept the place of steward.
She is the only woman steward in
any large hotel in New York.
1t was during the last illness of Cad
dagan that his sisters became &C:
quainted with the details of his work.
Miss Anna Caddagan developed an un-
usual executive ability and he turned

N EW -YORK.-There has been fire.
~ quent speculation for many years
as to where ]. Cheever Goodwin found
the type which he embodied in the
Lone Fisherman made famous in
"Evangeline.' Mr. Goodwin himself,
usually not voluble man, not given
to long dissertations, found his widest
expression in writing, and the fact
remains that he has never written the
story Of the origin of this silent, mys.
ferrous character which has taken a
permanent place in American usage
and tradition. The expression Lone
Fisherman" springs naturally to tbs
lips when one beholds a man perched
on the shores of the river or sound
solitary and expectant. But were YOU
to speak to one of these persons thew
might be voluble enough in telling of
the wondrous fish they have landed
or expected to land.
But the real ideal Lone Fisherman
as conceived by the librettist is a man
whose whole sphere of activities is
comprehended by pantomime and no
spoken word. For many years there
has been search to find such a char
acter, but now the friends of Edward
Leffelts Neefus, or Silent Edward, ;"
declare that Mr. Goodwin must have
certainly had him in mind, or someone
who was a perfect replica, when he
drew the character in "Evangeline."
Mr.. Neefus is probably the most ex-
pert fisherman in the financial dis
trict, Just as he is the most silent and
uncommunicative operator on the

New Amusement Palace Is Planned

The erection of high-class apartment
hotels, or family apartment houses,
upon this great superstructure above
the tracks has also been proposed. Al
though no property of this sort has
ever been utilized for purposes as
are now proposed, it is declared en-
trely practical and adaptable by the
experts who have considered the vari-
oous propositions.
The great areas which will be avail
able for the site of the proposed new
palace of amusement as soon as the
subterranean tracks are completed
will embrace ten square city blocks.
They will extend from Forty-fifth
street on the south to Fiftieth street
on the north and between Park ave-
nue. and Lexington avenue on the east,
and between Park and Madison ave.
nues on the west Each of these
squares" will be 700 feet east and

one of them affording mere area space

the age of Ann. Nor has he ever es-

or appalling disaster. In the environ
ment where words fill the air like
leaves of Vallambrosa, Mr.. Neefus only
releases those which are absolutely
necessary, that is all. The appellation
Silent Edward" is no misnomer.
1t is related by Mr.. Neefus' close
personal friends that the brokers'
daughter at one time asked her moth
er:
Mother, how did father ever find
his tongue long enough to ask you to
marry him."
That question was not answered,
and both Mr.. and Mrs. Neefus smiled
upon their child
Mr.. Neefus when trading upon the
curb never shouts forth the word
Sold in making trade, but simply
mods his head and the deal is closed

He rushes from Wall street to his
home in Rockaway beach and as quick
ly as possible gets into his boat and
sails away to.ethe fishing ground and
remains there, more silent than the
sea on a calm day when the water is
like glass. He will fish and fish and,
when the day is over, return home,
take seat by the hearth and listen
to all that his family has to say, smile,
nod his head and never say a word.
But Mr.. Neefus is a man of action,
and under strict compulsion-for in
stance that imposed by military dis
cipline-he can talk in cold direct,
comprehensive speech. 1t may not
be much to his liking, but he is a man
who puts duty, whether domestic or
patriotic, above all other things, and if
occasion requires, may rip off a line
of talk which fairly vibrates with vi
tally.

No Danger Of Milltarism.


The opening Of the war college At
washington gave opportunity for
showing the characteristic American
spirit. This was fitly illustrated In
what was said by Secretary of State
Root. who is regarded as the father
OF the war college because he, while
secretary Of war, gave impetus to the
movement which has resulted in the
completion of the structure. There
was nothing inconsistent, said Secre-
tary Root in effect, in a nation devoted
to peace possessing at the capital
such an institution as this. The neces-
sity for military instruction was never
more apparent than now, in the light
OF the demands of modern science.
And the country, however friendly re-
lations may be with others, that neg
lects proper precautions assuredly is
not wise. Secretary Root added: I'VE
are not a military nation, and never
shall be. We are warlike enough to
rise in defense of our rights. We are
s1ngularly like the English, and singu-
1arly unlike most Of the nations of the
continent. Our ideas are political and
not military. We do not therefore ma
tura1ly run into the mold of military
organization" Fears of the United
States being swept into the vortex of
'militarism' are absurd, declares the
Troy IN. W Times. But preparations
for effective defense are based on the
soundest principles and the purest
patriotism. Secretary Roots address
at the war college struck a note to
which the common sense of the coun-
try responds with promptness.
