BROWN WAKEFIELD
INJURED AT SAWMILL

Brown Wakefield Of Eddyville had
narrow escape the first of the week
while working at Clines' sawmill at
the foot of Little Elk Mt. It seems
that Mr.. Wakefield was working on
the carriage and attempted to jump
across in front Of the saw, when he
tripped and his foot was thrown
against the rapidly revolving saw.
Fortunately he was far enough over
that the saw just caught the bottom
OF his foot. saving off a slice OF his
heel. the sole of his shoe and the under
side OF his toes.
DR.. Burgess was called and dressed
the wound. and while the injury is
not 20 very serious, 1t is very painful
and will lay Mr.. Wakefield up for
some time.

IMPROVEMENT OF YAouINA

wonder how many of Our Iiro,,,
county Citizens have given this nro.
posed enlargement of the Newport ana
ioiedo Port Districts, the deep thoupbt
that 1t deserves.
rave you. who perchance, may read
this little article. ever given II tho an.
aiysis that 1t deserves, do you realise
that this is the Red Letter Day in the
history OF Lincoln County, II we all
stand together and shoulder to sbouId.
er 10 put this matter through.
Have you stopped to consider N.
manifold advantages to be derived
from this project?
Let us have a little heart to hear,
taik In this matter and get down "a,
the possibilities that are in store for
u.s. when this project is an assured
proposition.
In the first place this County has
untold wealth in natural resources.
with no market; inadequate Rail
transportation. practically no Boat
service and the poorest of County
Roads.
With the inception Of this project
a Railroad will be built to the timber
mills will be built on the Bay. a do.
mand locally, will be automatically
created for all of our farm products
and prosperity dawns upon Lincoln
County.
The argument will probably arise as
10 the ability OF the Rancher to hau,
MS produce to the market on account
OF the poor condition of our roads
point we'll taken. but in the building OF
the Railroad. mills etc, II will be ad.
solutely necessary for us to improve
our highways and that will simply be
an automatic proposition. through the
law OF absolute necessity.
In the matter OF the taxes in this
undertaking, II is an absolute fact that
the timber In this County pays oy..
sixty percent OF the gross taxes: and
II would seem to me that the natural
enhanced value OF all OF the property
In this County. owing to the influx OF
settlers and home makers. will more
than Offset the small additional In.
lividual tax.
In the siletz District at the presen,
time the Allied Tribes OF Indians owr
iiye sections OF timber land several
years ago a law was passed by act o,
Congress to sell this timber but owinr
to the cocndltion OF the lumber market
this property has never been offered
for sale; with an assurance that the
faauina Bar will be improved anothe,
automatic transaction springs up. tina,
Is, there will be big demand for tim.
ber and this Indian property can be-
sold and another quarter million ta>
able property is added to our rolls.
Dwelling upon the Slletz Country
