being over six hundred passen-
gers or the two sections Of the
tran, mainly from Salem and AL
bany. The day was fine with
the exception that the fog hung
over the beach in the morning.
The fog was so dense that a pic
ture of the bathers could not be
taken. The heat in the Valley

mometer ranging from 81 to 100
degrees in the shade. At the
beach the temperature has been
about so and very pleasant.
Yesterday Connie Johns, en-
gineer on the Mirene, while try
ing to start the engine, it gigged
back throwing the bar against
LIS right low er law with sui h
I. ce as ta t''.ctrre the bone
Just in iront o. the joint. This
Was done so Quickly that Mr..
johns had NJ tiE4 to do,i,,c he
blow. Several Of his teeth w.re
also knocked ou: and other
bruises received and it is a Won
der he was not killed outright.
Drs. Wallace and Faucet we're
called and reduced the fracture
and placed the patient in as COM
Portable position as possible aud
Tuesday morning he was taken

Joseph Patterson, correspon-
dent of the Oregonian, has just
returned from a visit to the San
Francisco exposition. Mr.. Pat
terson says it is the most Won
derful exposition over held in the
United States. He spoke of the
oregon Dulluing anu tne lower
of Jewels as marvels of beauty
and architecture. Mr.. Patter-
son will go to the fair at Siletz
and write up what he sees of the
first Indian fair ever held on the
reservation.
Some eight or ten autos are
busily engaged in carrying pas
sengers to the Siletz fair. New
port will be well represented
there. The weather is good and
the roads are fine and it will be q
pleasure to ride over them. The
fair will be good, not in farm
products and fine stock, but in
Indian relics, curios and Co.'S
tunes. The old-fashioned In.
dian games ana dances will be
reproduced and the interest will
be kept up with each days pro-
gram. 1t is expected a thous.
and people will attend the fair
Each night feather dance will
be given by the Indians and a.
many of the whites as wish t
join in the fun. All, of course
must wear the Indian costumes
1t will be interesting to contras
the old with the new way of do
Ing things and to see just hoy
much progress the Red Man ha
made within the past sixty years
II wont be long now until tn
Indians will be put upon his ow
resources the same as the whit
man is and If he don't go ahead

dians have the best land on tn
reservation and there is no rea
son why he should not be a
good a farmer, stock raiser a
the white man, and the India
woman should be as good house
keeper as the white woman an
If she don't do this no one is {
blame but herself. When th
white man says an Indian is to
lazy to work and will never max
a farmer, why don't the India
get In and, work and do thing
just as well as the white man
Why wait any longer for tn
white man to lead the way? I'll
Siletz is the most beautiful an
productive part of the count
