Newport

Monday and stayed all night at |
Newport. He was on his way to
Waldport, where he expects to
publish a weekly newspaper.
Mr.. Robertson is an old editor
and newspaper man Of long ex-
perience, having published a
newspaper in Idaho for many
years. He belle eves Waldport
and the adjacent country an ex-
cellent field for the publication
of live paper devoted to the
interests of the people. Alsea,
of which Waldport is the princi-
pal city, is comparatively a new
country with many attractions.
Stock raising, salmon fishing
and dairying are some OF the
productions Of this part OF the
county. His press and fixtures
for starting the paper will ar
rive in a few days. The name
of the paper will be the Waldport
Watchman and will be entirely
independent in politics and de-
voted to the upbuilding Of Wald-
port and Lincoln county.
On Monday night the agate
store of Charles Sanders at Nye
Creek was broken into and
about 5000 worth Of agates and
other valuables taken. The en-
trance to the house was made
through the window. The fam
lily was not at home at the time.
The thief has not as yet been
caught, but no doubt he will be
in due time. This robbery oc-
Cured the same day the night
watchman was discharged. We
must have some light fingered
gentry in Newport.
The new city council held Its
first meeting Monday. r. A
Benseil, the newly elected may.
or, presiding. THIS new coun'
Gil is younger and better look
ing one than the outgoing coun
Gil was. The venerable mayor
sitting at the head Of the tabl'
gave the council an air of dig
nifty and wisdom. For you'll
and beauty AL Wwartz takes thu
cake. The council cannot max,
much improvements this yea
for the lack of funds and 1t can
not create any more debt be
cause the city has already gon
its limit.

trashy reading and dime novel
The next meeting Of the Societ
will be the first Monday evenin
in February. A lunch will |
served and a good time is al
ticipated. The Society no
numbers over seventy paren
and teachers and it is doing
good work. There is a disp,
sition on the part of the publ
to eliminate some Of the frill
fads and fancies that are in III
in our public schools and g
down to good, solid work amor
the pupils as well as among Il
teachers. A boy that is an at
lete, a sport and can give Il
college yell seems to think tn
constitutes an education al
this seems to be the acme of
ambition. This is only a sm
part of education. A compile
education includes the who
course of training moral, ply
cal and intellectual. Our pub
schools cost too much money 1
the resuls obtained. The teac
er is often not thorough in pa'
ing a pupil from a lower to
higher grade. The work is \
efficient and thorough and I
child is therefore injured.
The High School basket b
team of Corvallis played t
games with the team Of Ne
port and one game with I
team at Waldport. The Cory
lis team won in all three Of
games.
