SHlNGLE MILL BURNS

The shingle mill belonging to
Brooks & McMillin, located
about two miles south from
Waldport, burned to the ground
last Sunday. No one was near
the mill at the time of the fire
except the elder Mr.. Buker, and
he on account of his advanced
age and the lack of water, could
do nothing to stop the spread of
the fire. The mill was a COM
plete loss, with no insurance. Be-
sides the mill sixty thousand
shingles were burned. The loss
is estimated at about $1,000. The
mill will be rebuilt. ....

REPORT OF COUNTY Ex-
HlBlT AT STATE FAIh

Lincoln County's exhibit at
the State Fair opened the eyes
OF hundreds of visitors and was
such as any county might be
proud Of. While we were third
in our district we would easily
have been first had our fish and
dairy products not failed to ar
rive. The Toledo Creamery was
the only one to furnish butter
and that was highly praised by
the Judge. The expected cheese
from Taft and Rose Lodge fail
ed to arrive but we hope next
year to secure a fine exhibit
from those places.
Our fish industry was also
very weak in its representation
as the sea fish in solution from
the Newport Commercial Clup
and some oysters sent from Mr..
Schirmers was the size Of it.
Our fruit and vegetables were
fine and attracted a great deal
of attention. The threashed
grain from Siletz and the sheaf
grain and grass from Mr.. Lou
don and Mr.. Ramsdell was of
fine quality. We had potatoes
from nearly every part of the
County and were the best at the
Fair. There were other fine ex-
hibits such as vegetables from
Mr.. Derby, Scoville and others.
Fruit from Aldrich, Robbins and
w. F. Wakefield. There were
many others that contributed
fine specimens and | wish to
thank all for their help and in
terest.

PARIS BUSY, BUT GRAVE.
Sight of Women Doing Work of Mel
Becomes Familiar.

George T. Berry. field secretary of the
American NOAH Mission. writes from
France, where he Is visiting the various
stations of the mission: Paris is still
the busy. bustling city of old, but SOL
emn of face and speech. Not a single
passenger boat on the Seine and only
two lines of buses running. One gets ac-
customed to the sight of the women
with their long wheeled hoses washing
the streets. of the women with serious
faces standing at the motors of the
tramways or forcing their way throuyh
the crowded cars and collecting fares"
Mr.. Berry says the more he sees of
the work of the mission the more he is
impressed with it's usefulness in these
days of tragedy and sorrow. He says
that at least 1000 refugees from the
north and Belgium have found shelter.

Small Soldiers.

Small boys have quit their
playing, their sliding on the hill.
and now they are displaying
great military skill. All round
me ] behold them, in marches
and parades; small generals en-
rolled them in legions and bri-
rades. They WELD, with valor
Roman, their rifles made of
boards, and bravely charge the
foeman with little wooden
swords. No kids plead for ex-
emption, ali long to brandish
arms, and none has asked re-
demption from war and its
alarms. The old-tirne hobby
horses, the roller skates are gone;
imaginary corses are piled upon
the lawn. The boys who would
be pitchers, and make base ball
a trade, are busy now as ditchers,
for trenches must be made. They
toll with wooden shovels, no sol
der loafs or stalls, the boys from
humble novels, the boys from
stately halls. There is no weary
clacker for peace with shameful
Joys, there is no whining Stacker
among the little boys. No kid so
keen for peace is that he would
dodge the fray because he buys
three nieces and sundry uncles
hay. The kids, SO small their
mothers put them to bed at night,
are shaming elder brothers who
fear to go and fight.

Stephen W. Williams. for five years
mayor of Takoma Park, Md, resigned
last night at a special meeting of the
town council at the office of the town
clerk, Ben G. Davis. on Oak avenue.
Mayor Williams in announcing his de-
parture for the west expressed his
thanks to the members of the council
and to the citizens of Takoma Park for
their support uniformly afforded him
which, he said. he could not possibly
have performed the duties of his office.
Wilmer G. Platt, one of the pioneer
residents of Takoma Park. who served
as member of council and was elected
in 1906 as mayor. serving three terms
and retiring in 1912. was unanim ously
elected to fill the unexpired term of
Mayor Williams. In addition to Mayor
Williams. members Of the council pres
emit last night were H. F. Taft, L. r.
Grabill. E S. La Fetra. H. B. Hendrick.
Town Clerk Ben G. Davis and Supt of
Public Work E. E. Blodgett.
During his connection with the town
as mayor. Mr.. Williams has been ac-
lively engaged in the Improvement and
welfare of the corporation. Through
his untiring efforts the water and
sewer systems have been improved and
enlarged with the growth of this sub
urb, new filtration plants were con-
structed, the town lighted by electric
ity, the telephone system extended, new
streets and avenues opened and i'm
proved, cement sidewalks constructed
on broader scale and concrete streets
laid during the past year. The extern
sion of the Washington Maryland rail-
way line and the concreting of Carroll
avenue from the District line to the
Sligo stream are at the present time
well under way. These are but few
of the larger improvements which have
been accomplished since his instaIla-
tion as mayor.
Mr.. Williams win leave in about two
weeks for Portland. Ore, where he has
been appointed special assistant to the
Attorney General of the United States
to represent the government in land
cases. For the past six years he has
been an attorney in the land division of
the Attorney Generals Office of the De-
partment of Justice. For seventeen
years prior to that time he handled land
law cases in the Interior Department
In his new capacity he will have entire
charge of the prosecution and adjusting
of land cases on the Pacific Coast.
For several years Mr.. Williams and
his family have resided on Oak avenue,
Takoma Park. Shortly after purchas-
ing his home he became interested in
the municipal affairs. which in 1912
resulted in his unanimous election as
mayor. He has been a popular resident
of that suburb and deep regret is ex-
pressed at his coming departure.
