Miss Ida Hurley passed through
Waldport Saturday on her way to

The Bow dance last Friday was
well attended. everybody enjoying

j. R. Hays left Monday for Port
land and other Valley points
Bert Barclay is circulating his pc
tition for the Demo cratic nomina-
tion for County Assessor. Mr..
Barclay will certainly get splen-
did vote in the south end in the
general election.
The Otis correspondent seems to
be boosting for Ben Selling. In the
south end Mr.. Bourne is the favorite
by a large margin Our voters
would rather retain the committee
assignments enjoyed b. Mr.. Bourne
than to start new man at the
bottvm of the ladder. When be-
fore has Oregon had the chairman
ship of the postoffice and post roads
committee? Is not that an impor-
tant committee to the farmer who
is asking for Parcel Post? Mr..
Selling is only sailing under the
Bourne flag anyway and religious
liberty is and has been enjoyed by
all of US for many years.
Frank l.. Buker is building shop
to accommodate gas engine and
turning lathe. This kind of shop
has long been needed in this vicin-
ity and we predict a good business
from the start.
There are number of candi-
dates in the field for the nomination
of Port Commissioner for the Port
of Alsea. There are three to elect
and it is of the utmost Importance
at this time to get good men in
these places. We believe that if
proper steps are taken an appropri-
alton can be secured for a survey
of the bay. Many years ago Five
Thousand Dollars was appropriated
for this purpose and it stood on
record that way few weeks and
was then diverted to another place
on the recommendation of some of
the powers that be. On the eve of
the opening of the Panama Canal
we must look toward the improve
ment of our bay as we must have
some of the trade that will surely
result.
