NEWPORT

&eekS at tne DCacn. LII. bell
has spent his outings and vaca-
lions for more than forty years
at Newport. OF all the beaches
ON the Oregon coast this is his
fAyOrite for health and pleasure.
Abe King of Corvallis spent
several days in Newport, looking
after and paying taxes on lots
and blocks that belong to the es-
tate of his father-the late Sol
King.
DR.. c. E. Linton was in town
during the week. The Doctor
says, had Mrs. Hanley canvassed
in California and Washington as
she did in Oregon both states
would have gone for Hughes.
This little woman is a wonder.
She. in the commencement of
the campaign, sold two pigs that
she might get clothes and an
outfit to enable her to canvass
the state in the interest of the
Republican candidate. These
pigs will no doubt go into the
pork barrel to swell the salary of
some Democratic Office holder.
Villa and his bandits, under
Zapata, massacred one hundred
innocent and defenceless women
and children in Mexico a few
days ago. The conditions in
That unfortunate country is get
ting worse every day. No quar-
ter is given now by these cruel
outlaws. Neither sex, age or
condition are spared, in that dis
tracted country. All are mur-
dered. Villa in his desperation
may cross the border line and
get into New Mexico and Texas
in his raids. He and his bandits
don't seem to fear Uncle Sam or
Carranza either.
The Women of Woodcraft
gave DR.. Wallace Hylander and
his new bride, nee Emma War
mock, kitchen shower and Mrs.
Ed Stocker a birthday party at
their hall, Thursday evening. A
hrye number Of their friends
were present. A nice luncheon
was served and a good time was
mad by all prenset. DR.. and Mrs.
hylander will continue to reside
In Newport where he will con-
dnue to practice his profession
as a dentist.
Saturday morning at about
eight o'clock, the residence of
Mrs. M. NJ. Ellis on Second and
Case Street took fire from a de-
fective stove pipe. The house
was occupied by Mrs. Metzenger
and Mrs. Bryon. The fire alarm
was turned in and the fire de-
partment responded as soon as
possible. In a very short time
two hose were playing upon the
bniiding but the fire had got un-
der such headway that it was
impossible to save the building
although the firemen worked
Ike trogens. The most of the
household furniture and goods
were saved. The upper part of
The building was almost entirely
destroyed. The fire started in
the kitchen and the building be-
ing very dry the fire spread
rapidly. The loss is about ST.
200. mostly covered by insur-
ance. About 35 years ago this
house was built by Billie Stitts
at a cost Of $4,000. It was a fine
building in those days but It is
old fashioned and badly decayed.
Mrs. Ellis had put several hun
dred dollars in fixing up and re-
pairing the building. The dry,
cold weather and the east wind
blowing is a good time for a
house to take fire. The people
should examine their flues and
see that they are all right, "a
stitch in time saves nine"
The state has gone bone dry
anu no one can handle booze
but preachers and doctors.>
Preachers can have It for sa-
cramental purposes and the doc
tors for medicine.
The next things to go will be
tobacco and coffee and this will
be followed by other supposed
evils and the Lord only knows
when 1t will stop. The world is
becoming effeminate and spine
less and temptations must be re-
moved.
The old rule as practiced by
Saint Paul, the humble Nazarin,
and Others, to overcome evil
must be abandoned and life
rnade easy by removing all
temptations, instead Of over
coming them. When the Roman
Empire fell the people had be-
come 80 grossly wicked and IL
'centious that the city could mot
