preacher, physician, educator and
scientist find it possible to visit
Europe as delegates to international
gatherings that have to do with their
professions or callings. They always
figure prominently and infiuentially in
proceedings that affect the diffusion OF
knowledge and exaltatiOn of prOfes-

not the American journalist included
in this international movement, he
whose appetite for news is so world
wide and whose influence in shaping
the life OF powerful nation. with its
increasing international relations, is
so potent? Which question in its turn
suggests another, namely. why is it
that the American journalist in his

provision for stated conferences rela-

journalist? One OF the largest factors

Last Friday Sheriff Ross went
over to Siletz and arrested Able
Logan for assault upon John Wood
man. Logan had his preliminary
hearing before Justice of the Peace
Anderson Monday and plead not
guilty to the charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon. The Court
set next Monday at II a. m. as the
time for hearing, providing the in
jured man is able to appear as a
witness. Logan is now in Jail here
awaiting the trial. On February
2l, John Woodman was found in a
field near his home very badly
beaten up and unconscious. His
injuries were at first thought to be
fatal, but there now seems chance
of the old man getting over them.
Suspicion was at once placed on
Abe Logan, who is a son-in-law of
Woodman. Woodman is an old
Indian somewhere between eighty
and ninty years old, while Logan is
a strong young man.

Siletz Items.

Last Wednesday John Woodman
an old Indian, was found lying un-
conscious in field near his house.
An examination ly the Doctor re-
vealed the fact that he had been
brutally beaten and seriously, if not
fatally, injured. One arm was
broken, there was an ugly cut on
the back Of his head and he was
hurt inwardly. There is conclusive
evidence that Abe Logan, Wood
mans Rim law, was the assailant.
Logan was arrested and taken to
Toledo by the Sheriff last Saturday.
This brutal assault calls to mind
the murder of the old Indian wo-
man which happened about a
month ago and within few hund-
red yards of the place where John
Woodman was so cruelty beaten.
No clue to the murderer has been
found, and no particular effort has
been made in that direction. The
people here are becoming aroused
over the frequency of these outrages
and unless legal remedies are app
lied the people will take the matter
into their hands and see that the
guilty parties get what is coming
to them.

TOLEDO'S BOOST
CLUB MEETS
Wallis Nash Outlines Plans for
a Greater County Fair.

At the meeting of the Develop
ment League last evening several
matters of great Importance to the
future Of Lincoln county were
discussed.
The matter of securing a terminal
! rate on the railroad and the i'm
provement of the harbor, by dredg-
ing, and the extension of the jetties
at the mouth of the hay was taken
up and a committee Of five was ap-
pointed to see what could be done.
The other Commercial organizations
OF the county, also of Corvallis and
Albany will be asked to help.
. Next the County Fair proposition
was taken up, and Mr.. Nash of
Nashville outlined plan whereby
the Fair would be one big jollifca-
ton and everyone shown the best
time of their hves-to make it one
big picnic, where the people from
all parts of the county can gather
for a few days, get acquainted with
each other and all have such a good
time they will look forward to the
next Fair. To provide a suitable
camping place SO people living at a
distance can come with their fam
lilies and make an outing of it; to
make it the peoples fair, for their
pleasure and instruction, and let
them all help in making it fair
long to be remembered; to have
exhibits of wool, mohair, minerals,
grains, grasses, cereals, etc., woods
OF all kinds, hides of wild animals,
stuffed animals and birds, photog-
raphy, honey, fruit, vegetables, ETC.,
arts, needlework, fish, poultry,
horses, cattle, and in fact everything
that we have here in Lincoln county.
To have drills by the children of
the different communities, speech
making, sports, etc.
A motion was made to adopt the
plan outlined by Mr.. Nash which
was carried. The President was
authorized to appoint a committee
of seven as an executive committee,
members of said committee to be
picked one from each of the most
important localities in the county.
Mr.. G. H. Bradshaw of Newport
was present and assured us that
the people of Newport and the
Newport Commercial Club would
do their share toward making the
fair a success. The outlook is far
brighter for this fair than it was for
the Fruit and Vegetable Carnival
last year.
The question of a gymnasium to
be- erected OR the school ground
was next taken up. The
League indorsed the work of the
Professors in trying to get a gym
nasium and pledged themselves to
do all they could to push it along.
