PEACE REPORT

brand the Peace Report" of

that as yet Germany has signed
nothing, but an answer from

AT any rate we had a good
celebration as a result of the
fake report, and now we will
again settle down to the job of

REPUBLICANS WIN VICTORY

The election of Tuesday
proved to be a signal Republican
victory in the entire United
States. Lincoln county proved
to be no exception to the rule
and polled a good Republican
majority.
The returns are not all in
as we go to press, but the indi-
cations are that the Sheriffship
is the My offids lost to the Re-
publicans. At present it looks as
though Simpson would win by a
majority of $50. The race for
surveyor is very close. Castle
leading Derrick by but ~ votes.
Governor Withycomb has a lead
of BETTER than 100 in the county
and carried the state by a large
majority.
McNary ran even better than
Withycomb, ard was reelected
United States Senator by a
handsome vote.
Simpson is the first Democra-
tic sheriff that was ever elected
in this county.

BROWN CONFESSES
TO KILLING WERNER

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Brown,
who were captured near Sher-
wood last week, were brought
to Toledo last Sunday by Sheriff
Ger and deputy McElwain.
Soon after his arrest Brown
made a confession to the Wash
ington county district attorney.
Brown takes all the blame for
the killing, exonerating Mrs.
Brown altogether.
1t seems that Brown met War
n1r on the trail down this side
OF his house. A quarrel ensued
and Brown shot Werner. After
killing him he rolled the body in
a piece of canvass and tied it to
a pole. He found that the body
was too heavy for him to carry
alone, so he went and got Mrs.
Brown to help him. They car
1ied the remains up past the
Brown house and down the ridge
on THE other side, then off the
trail and up the canyon where
Brown dug a grave. Mrs. Brown
suspected that the canvass con-
tanned Wemer's body, although
where the murder took place
WAS not in sight Of the house.
Brown was very clever in re-
arranging the ground where he
dug the grave so as to leave it
as it was before. He evidently
shoveled the dirt out on a can
vass, so after filling the hole and
packing the dirt in tight he
could carry away the surplus.
He then covered the grave with
moss and leaves $50 It looked
like the rest of the surroundings.
But for the quick eye and
shrewdness of Ike Washington
it is quite probable TINT the
crime would never have been
discovered.
Mrs. Brown has waived exam
inatioI and will be released on
$1,000 cash bail, while Brown will
be held in Jail here until such
time as Judge Skipthw0rth
comes over. He may possibly be
held until the H-burarv term of
Court.

A. l.. Porter, who has been
surveying for the Harmon Co.,
will survey a line of railroad
from the Miller Logging Road to
Cedar Creek at Euker Mountain.
The survey will run on the west
side of the river to creek and
there cross the river at the head
OF tide. This is for the purpose
OF making it CONVENIENT to get
logs on the tide from below and
on the current Of the river from
above. | understand the gov
ernment is doing the work. This
will open up that whole timber
belt Of the reservation, a thing
that the people of the county
have lcrI3i wished and prayed for.
Lincoln County has certainly
been placed on the map by this
great war.
The public schools opened
again Monday after having been
closed for two weeks on account
Of the excitement caused by the
new named dease that is so ser
iously effecting so many parts
OF the country. Siletz has been
fortunate in not having any
cases up to this time. If any one
should get the desease, keep
them in bed and in the house
long enough for them to get well
before being allowed to go ont
doors. Fresh air and segrei2o-
ton are th's great remedies to
keep the dcsease from spreading.
The U lited War Work Cam
Daigl will be continued under

1t was quite fitting that the
ilfst passengers to be carried
ifom the iaquina Bay to the AL
sea Bay should be Mr.. ana Mrs.
u '. Hurt of Yachats. This
couple are pioneers of the coun-
w. and Mrs. Hurt was probably
tle lilst white girl to live in the
Aisea country. Mrs. Hurt. at
that time Miss Starr, came to the
ALsea Bay country with her par
cllts Ill 1877. The pioneers had
10 lace many dangers and en-
dlire many hardships, and Miss
starr was no exception to the
rule, and had many adventures,
She possessed the courage and
puck OF the true American Girl
ana more than did her part in
helping her parents cary out
their new homs in the wilds. AT
that time the Alsea country was
all an Indian reservation, but as
1t was soon to be thrown open
to settlement the STAIRS decided
to wait for this opening. At the
time of The opening Mr.. Starr
chanced to be away from home
but Miss Starr, then 16 years of
age, was more than equal to the
emergency. ShE took her young
er sister and put her on a horse
and rode ten miles to the claim
her father had selected, and held
1t until his return.
Mr.. Hurt, a pioneer of 1889
also, has had many experiences
IN the then wild coast country.
and but for his courage and
ready wit, would have been killed
many times. SO il is but fitting
that these early pioneer should
be the first to ride on this rail-
road, a dream railroad for many
YEARS, but at last a dream come
true.
The Alsea Bay country Is a
rich country In natural resources
and when the war is over we
look to see these resources ex-
plotted. Already men are i'm the
field boring for oil, and they
say the prospects are very en-
couraglng. The lumber and fish
ing industries win be pushed,
the dairying industries will take
on adCEd life, so take It all in all
the prospects for the south part
OF the county look very bright
and the people there are very
desireably situated.

USING SOFT COAL.
Unusual Care Must be Exercised in
Making the Substitution.

The scarcity of fuel is causing con-
siderable worry, not only among those
whose coal bins are empty, but also Tor
those whose duty IT Is to provide the
fuel.
There is practically no hard coal in
the city for sale, and hundreds OF people
have been compelled to substitute soit
coal While it is not as satisfactory as
the hard coal for domestic purposes, IT Is
far better than no fuel at all and there
is comparatively little grumbling, people
being glad to get fuel OF any kind.
W hile the use of soft coal is not as
eIeanly rs that of hard coal, throwing oil
considerabl more smoke, another feature
that may work injury to those using 1t rs
the danger from the generation OF gas.
Parties using the soft coal for heating
bedrooms should use care In securing
proper ventilation SO as to avoid asphyXia-
ton. =,
The supply of soft coal is more easily
obtainable at this time, hut even this has a
limit. The local supply was so short
vest erday afternoon that Charles Il. Ten
Wccges, State fuel administrator, found
IL necessary to seize two carloads ot coal
consigned to a local manufacturing plant
and sent it To yards supplying fuel for
domestic use. Announcement has been
made that the comfort of the people is to
be considered first and that the administra-
tion will seize the necessary amount found
in this State for that purpose, even though
it is compelled to shut down some plants.
