Mr.. Riley States Facts Which CITY
Treasurer AilirmS
Communicated.

kAuHdpUilSs Mb.s june ~, I1lU.
The Editor Of the Evening Capital
am sorry to trespass on your space
with a second communication. but it
is not fair TO the public that the fig
ures of eXMayor Claude given i'm his
communication of Saturday should be
allowed to stand undenied. They are
without value as basis for reaching
a conclusion.
DR.. Claude claims that the 90-cent
rate will yield balance of S23, =
76l.4l. He obtains this figure by the
additions of the following items
The estimated balance of $4,000. as
indicated by the statement of the
finance commission, the total of un-
collected taxes added to tie total
amount Of The taxes for the ne year
the amount of the indebtedr lss for
the Rescue Hose Company Hiding,
which he claims has been pal !.
One of these items the balance as
stated by the finance commi sion-is
accurate. 1t is an old error of Dr.
Claude's account of uncollected taxes
and the whole of the years taxes as
available resources. OF course. this
cannot be done The amount of un-
collected taxes at the end of next
year will be approximately that it is
at the end of the present year, about
$8, 600, and will not be available for
any purpose during the coming year.
Dr. Claude's statement about the
Rescue Hose Company Indebtedness
is entirely misleading In the first
place nothing was levied for this pur-
levy for any specific object. The
members of the Council may intend
a proportion of the revenue to be de-
voted to particular purpose when the
rate is fixed, but no sum is devoted so
that the Council cannot spend it
otherwise if it wishes. 1t is possible
that the former Council intended to
pay this sum, but actually nothing has
been paid on it. The original note
given to raise the amount to pay the
contractor, was paid at the beginning
of the fiscal year, when large amounts
are received from taxes but note of
the same size was contracted at
the end of the year. This note is
carried by the city. so that the whole
indebtedness still exists. InIs Is not
a matter of argument. 1t is a fact
which is stated by the finance com
mission and which Treasurer Gott
will verify to anyone.
Should the bond issue not be pass
ed, the present Council will either
have to carry this note, or pay it and
have only few hundred dollars for all
improvements during the year and con
tingencies / think | demonstrated
clearly in my communication of Satur-
day that if the ordnance is passed the
rate of 80 cents, a reduction of 10
cents, will yield an ample balance. |
am very hopeful that the Council
will take this action if the ordinance
is passed, and for this reason more
than any other, | hope the taxpayers
will support it.
Respectfully,
HUGH II. RILEY.

Better trim the tree before the

The unrestricted use Of large amounts
of money by any corporation, more

ter fruit, and before it ingrafts its
sinuous roots into the soil, and saps

ing. other places in the Willamette
Valley are still nearer and for this
reason Neskowin by the Sea is des-
tined to be settled up very quickly.
Already about one hundred lots have
been sold. The lots are all large
and front on streets and require al
most no preparation for building,
have beautiful natural trees on them,
a soil easily cultivated and very
productive, growing strawberries and
small fruits almost down to the
waters edge, condition that is
found no where else on the North
Pacific Coast. Persons who have
been at Neskowin or Old Slab Creek
know all about its charms. They
require no introduction to anyone
who has ever camped there.
Anyone who may be interested in
the development of this summer re-
sort should send to Rollie w. Wat

the plat of the townsite and the
geography of the country, with the
proposed Improvements and the
roads now leading into Neskowin.

campaign at the polls is equally sue
cessful the school will come through
with flying colors. Ex-senator Proeb-

day with big bunch of petitions con-
tanning about 1900 names, or $500
more than is required by law. Hun
dreds of names are expected to come
in afterwards and will be filed later
in a supplementary petition. The
blanks have been widely circulated,
and the signers represent twenty or
more Oregon counties. Many en-
couraging letters have been received

to the hope that Oregon is

from Oretown to Neskowin. About
three thousand dollars will be spent
to improve the road down the little
Nestucca and into Neskowin. BY

Legend of Nestucca.
An old Indian yarn relates how
this stream got its name. A worth
less young Indian chief, named
Salidnez, loved a moon-faced maid
named Neztuksal who was drowned
on fishing party. Nez took Sal
along to jerk salmon in camp after
he jerked them from the stream
Sal-eyed-Nez but had never told his
love. He was too lazy to do any
more and Neztuksal was satisfied.
Nez was near by when Sal went down
but was too indolent to even stretch
her helping hand. No one in camp
imagined he was capable of the
slightest feeling Of remorse. But
after the days fishing was done and
the evening campfires dotted the val
ley below Salidnez climbed the
rocky point above where the bridge
now spans the stream, Neztucka a
dive into the deep dark pool below
where Neztucksal reposed in the
cool waters awaiting her lovers ar
rival. He clasped her in one long
last embrace and they mingled their
caresses in the lisping waters that
still make music over their last
resting place. This is the sad tale
and watery ending of Sal-eyed-nez
and Nez-tuck-sal who named the
Nez-tuck-ah.
This Neztucca regior is rich in
Indian legends and associations.
The finest camp grounds were once
marked by their shell beds where
the Big Tillamook tribes of the
Three Rivers and the Yamhills
came on their annual hunts and
held their grand potlatches and
illi-hees. The last of the tribe of
Illihees have established themselves
at Salem and their great wigwam
known as the Illihee club is presided
by such chiefs as have been able to
resist the encroachments and degen-
Grating influences of civilization.

THE DOG GUARDED
HIS DEAD MASTER
DOG HAD KEPT HIS VIGIL FOR
SIX DAYS BEFORE FRIENDS
FOUND THE OLD MAN DEAD
WITH HIS FAITHFUL DOG
STANDING GROUND.

County Coroner Ison and Earle
Gray. Of welch's Undertaking par
lors, went to Nelson's siding near
Durkee yesterday to investigate the
death of an old man named Cloud
who was found dead in his dugout
there. The coroner's jury found that
he had died from natural causes and
he was buried in his yard.
A touching incident was witnessed
by the people who first found the old
man. He had a little garden patch
of a couple Of acres and lived in a
dugout near the o. r. & N. track
about a mile beyond Nelson's siding,
and was accustomed to go down
TO the siding for his few supplies. He
was last seen a week ago yesterday
when he told his friends that he was
failing fast. Nothing was seen of him
for six days and the people at the
store went to investigate, but were
unable to secure entrance to the dug
out because Of the dog which was
guarding his masters door. For six
days the faithful creature had not
left his post and doubtless would
have remained on duty until death
relieved him, as death had called his
master.
After considerable persuasion
friends who knew the dog enticed
him to eat and got him away from
the door so that they could enter
the room. There they found a grue-
some sight, for the old man was dead
and his body was badly decomposed.
He was partly undressed and evi,
IDENTIFY was preparing for bed when
the end came. He was wrapped up
in his blankets and buried beneath
the arbor in his little garden. He
was 70 years old and had lived on
his little plot of ground for several
years, raising vegetables and fruit
which he exchanged for merchandise
at the store.-Baker Herald.

lows:
Apples, tier. The box contains
from 1OS to 12s, in sizes from to
3k inches in diameter, packed in q
box 12 inches wide, inches high
and % inches long, outside measure
ment. A four tier box contains from
1873 to 156 apples, from 21z to 3
inches in diameter. A Az tier box
in Hood River practice contains
from $50 to 175 apples, but other
localities call it from 1870 to 240
size. The sitter Of Hood River
growers includes the 1873 to 200 size.
Pears.--I have no data at hand on
the various tiers and sizes of pears.
Opinions differ greatly on these.
Personally l favor grading strictly
to size, packing stems up, wrapping
the fruit, of course, and letting It go
at that. One cannot get such fancy
pack on pears as is possible on ap-
pies and peaches, owing to their
shape. Both pears and apples should
be so packed as to leave decided
bulge in the middle of the top when
the box is finished, so that at It's
journeys end the box win appear full
when opened. Pack tight.
Peaches.-In Colorado practice a
box containing so or less is called
extra" 81 to "a are eos; 95 to
1OS are 1Os's. Handle with great
care, and don't pack soft fruit.
Grade carefully for size and quality.
Bulge the center a little and OF
course wrap each peach. The
method of wrapping fruit and putting
in the box in such way as to bring
it to the top in perfect pattern and
even and symetrical can
not be explained in a paper. A prac-
tical demonstration is necessary, and
long practice is needed to get speed
and do neat job. The packer
stands with his right hand on the
II uAb ulS lNlb manu- iSdSh6o lOl LuS
paper. Bringing them together over
the box he throws the fruit into the |
paper which is covering his right |
hand and by one rapid movement |
the fruit is perfectly wrapped and is
In its place in the box. When start
ing a box, turn the ragged edges Of
paper where 1t comes together
around the fruit, up so that only the
smooth side tightly drawn around
fruit will show through the cracks
at the bottom. After that turn

sun-warmed salt water affording O
delightful wading and bathing place
for children and women who do not
want to go into the ocean. There
are grassy plats for Fairgrounds and
such an abundance of wild flowers
that life for childhood here is one
perpetual holiday. The sanitary
conditions are perfect and the COM
pany will maintain them in that
condition. The regulation for clean
camps and cottages are strictly en-
forced and there is no sickness
possible.
Health by the Sea Side.
The writer can say from actual
demonstration that by far the best
investnie ent a family can make is to
give their children a home by the
seaside for at least two months In
the year. Living is cheaper here
than in many cities or towns IN
Western Oregon, where we have the
cheapest living in the world. From
twenty years experience / can say
that children kept at the ocean in
summer become immune to all the
ordinary ills that afflict childhood.
Families that bring their children
here for their summer outing have
almost an absolute guarantee against
paying any doctor bills for the rest
of the year.
Not a Business Resort.
While all kinds of healthful recre-
alton is provided re by nature
and all kinds of innocent amusements
will be furnished by the syndicate,
Neskowin is not going to be devel-
oped along commercial lines. No
kind of money making business will
be permitted on the Old Camp
Grounds. Shooting galleries, pic
ture shows, bowling allies and
money making schemes are all bar
red. Ample facilities will be pro-
vlded to get in and out of Neskowin,
but peace, quiet, and home-like in
fluences with dear old mother ma
ture providing entertainment is to be
the program at Neskowin. Men, wo-
men and children are to grow and
bloom with the birds and the flowers,
with no nerve racking distractions
to disturb your slumbers or break |
upon the peaceful serenity that |
should provide the ideal summer |
resort. The gentle murmuring of
the surf as it breaks upon the long
beaches, the coft signing Of the
breezes trembling through the leafy
bowers, and the music of the song
birds that mingles with the calling
Of the sea gulls are the only sounds
to be heard at this gem of all the
beach resorts.
