Salado

The directors,of the Salado school
district No. 36 are worthy of com
mendation for their successful efforts
in planning and building their neat
and commodious school house. 1t
is large enough for religious or other
gatherings and is situated in be-
autiful grove II miles above Elk
City on Elk River. They intend
soon to pipe water from a spring
which is near by to the school
ground, clear off the old logs and
underbrush and put substantial
wire fence around the entire lot
which consists of one acre almost
level. This will contribute largely
to the happiness of the scholars in
their games Of amusement. They
planned picnic and invited the
Drift Creek people to participate
with them in their informal way OF
dedicating their school house to ed
ucational and religious work. The
day was superfine and about two
hours before the time for services to
commence the people began to ga
ther. About II a. m. John Floms-
bee called the house to order and
gave us some very timely advice as
to laying aside all malice if any ex-
listed and enjoy a good time togath-
er, and then introduced School
Superintendent r. P. Coin, who
was equal to the occasion and gave
us an aggressive and inspiring speech
which was encouraging to all pres
ent. Then the writer was intro
duced as the minister of the day.
After services no time was lost in
preparing table spread with the
rich things of the valley, it seemed
! that Zach lady tried to excel the
other in supplying good things for
us to eat. About 2:3O p. m. we
held anot her religious service which
was well attended. For the yolnp

ment would be a credit to any com

Respect for the Law(?)

EulUOT Leduer.
Will you allow me space to
congratulate my old and much es-
teemed friend, Hans Olson, upon
his sincere though somewhat be-
lated, respect for the law. 1t is
matter of great regret that he did
not have that deep-rooted respect
sooner, for it might have saved him
time, money and much annoyance.
Had he had that great respect for
the law that he pleads now he
might have escaped a conviction in
the Justice court in years not so far
gone by in a criminal action, in
which Hans figured as the defend
ent. Also at still earlier date he
might have escaped much notoriety
and a narrow escape from indict-
ment by the Lincoln county grand
jury for selling diseased meat, had
he then had such love and reverence
for the law. OF course late repen-
tance is better than no repentance,
but Hans mustn't joke with us and
fool us. | for one have a lingering
conviction yet that if four-bit
piece was held before Hans eyes
that it would still have power to
blind him to the laws excellent
qualities for which he so strenuously
pleads; and | still have stronger
and further conviction of mind that
ii Hans held no mortgages on Olalla
property that he hopes to be able
to close in on, that he might yet be
able to see the light. OF course il
he can get by any manner OF means,
the Government to destroy four or
five thousand dollars worth of prop
erty that the hard working people
of Olalla have created, then maybe
he can foreclose some of his paper
| Or in other words, whenever you
see Hans lined up on any matter
always look for the dollar around
close, for that is sure to be in that
proximity. j. F. STEWART,
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1909-08-13

thusiasm counts for anything, the
