Clark G. Anderson and the Barber
Asphalt company have just conclud-
ed another tilt over the repairs on
Fifteenth street hill and again the
city official is the victor. Commits
sioner Anderson last Tuesday order
ed repair work stopped, the trouble
being that the Barber company was
not cutting the asphalt around the
holes back sufficiently. In fact, it
did not take the commissioner long
to see that the Barber company was
not making the repairs in good
shape and the order to cease opera
tions followed. A conference with
the company officials brought a
promise to do the work right and the
work was allowed to continue.

A fool with a gun nearly caused
a tragedy here last Sunday. He
was hunting on a hillside near the
road along which woman was walk
ing. He saw something move and
fired at it without waiting to see
what it was. Fortunately his aim
was not true, but the bullet passed
so near the woman's head that the
shock from it almost knocked her
down. She called out to prevent
him from shooting again, and the
cowardly cur sneaked off into the
brush instead Of going and apologize
ing for his carelessness. His iden-
tity, however, is known. If there
is no law for such criminal careless
ness the neighbors should tie the
perpetrator to tree and give him
such q reminder as would prevent
him from ever shooting at anything
again until he was sure it was not
woman.

Teachers Meeting
Held at Newport.

feel sure that every teacher who
attended the Teachers and Parents
meeting, at Newport, last Saturday,
are doing better work than they
would have done if they had not at
tended. 1t is possible that some of
them did not learn great many
things, but the inspiration that they
did receive will enable them to do
their work much better. Geogra-
ply, Grammar, and Arithmetic
were the subjects that were given the
most time. Miss Smith, the New
port primary teacher had some of
the primary pupils sing, read, and
act out some of their pieces. 1t was
fine. Miss George, the music teach
er, favored us with few songs, sang
by the larger pupils of the school.
A few good songs are always cheer
ing. The teachers were all free to
take part in the discussions. Some
Of the patrons Of the Newport school
district gave us some excellent ideas.
The Newport teachers, of course,
were all present and the following
are the names of the visiting teach
ers: Mrs. M. A. Coin, Miss Jean
Sharman, Miss Edith Harrison,
Miss Maule Merrell, Miss Esther
Copeland of the Toledo schools;
Miss Tekla Cronquist of the Mill
creek school, Prof. O. e. Brown of
the Yaquina school, and Miss Anna
Wright of the West Yaquina school.
Miss Emma Wright who is not teach
| ing at present, also was there.
Besides the sixteen teachers who
were present, there were twenty five
or thirty of the Newport patrons
present, sho ,ving that they are inter-
ested in what we are doing in tie
schools. Il. P. GoIN.

Circle EnJertains.

Last Wednesday evening the
members of the local Woodmen and
Circle lodges held joint social meet
ing at their hall in this city. One
half of the members of the Circle
entertained, the other half, the result
of a contest for membership, the los
ing side being requiredto entertain.
Seventy-fve members of the orders
We're present and were most royalty
entertained.
The guests arrived about nine
o clock dressed in various costumes,
each representing q character, and
all supposed to be travelling. The
seats were arranged as in passenger
coach. The station agent, the con-
ductor and brakeman, and the pea
nut butcher were all on duty, and
their passenger list was composed of
people in every station of life. A
hold-up while going through a tun-
nel-the lights having been turned
out-was very realistic and added
excitement. The passenger coach
was a success as a means of a novel
entertainer.
At the end of the journey the
guests were entertained by several
solos, vocal and instrumental, and
recitations, after which most
sumptuous lunch was served. After
this came Bingo, etc.
A jolly time was had and here's
hoping the Circle will have another
contest for membership and that
half of the members will be defeated
and have to repeat the occasion.
