AUTO PARTY HAS
NARROW ESCAPE


Yesterday morning as Mr. and Mrs.
Ben Young of Harlan, accompanied by
Mrs. Young's parents, Mr.. and Mrs
B. F. Grant, were coming to the Fair
in the formers car they suffered am
accident on Pioneer Mt. which came
near resulting disasterously. They
had just reached the top of the Nit.
and in coming around a bend in the
road one of the front springs broke
and caused the steering gear to lock.
The car travelling at good gait was
headed directly over the precipitous
embankment. When just at the edge
the car crashed unto ihe end of log
and caught by the hub cap and stop
ped. Had 1t gone a foot farther it
would have tumbled a hundred feet
to the bottom. None of the party was
injured with the exception OF Mrs.
Young who suffered cut on her nose.
The car sustained a badly sprung
front axle, and a broken wind shield.

NO APOLOGY NECESSARY

Last week the Ys4lina Bay News
devoted most Of its front page to an
article, evidently written in an effort
to justify the building of the North
Coast Spruce Limited.
We are deeply touched by the splen-
did feeling Of fairness and broadmind.
edness shown by the News, and trust
that the people of Toledo will not at
once forget the noble sacrifice made.
Some evil minded person has had
the temerity to inisnuate that the edi-
tor OF the News was not the author OF
the apology, but we don't want the
News editor to feel badly about that,
because according to history, all great
men have had their slanderers.
The apology was entirely unneces-
sary, however, as most everyone
knows that the Spruce is limited" on
the North Coast Spruce Limited, and
while this railroad may not prove
much OF factor in helping to dispose
Of the big government mill, because,
1t is reported, one prospective purchas-
er remarked, Should | buy uhe mill
and railroads, my first job would be to
move the north coast road to where
there is some timber" still we do not
believe that this will become neces-
-ary, as We are sure that II the ris.,t
arsuments are put up, to the pur :has.
ers of the mill, that they can be made
to see that it would be more profitable
to keep the road as it is and exhibit
1t as one of the seven curios Of the
Great World War. Another person
noted for his brilliance OF thought has
suggested that 1t could be used to run
excursions on, from Toledo to Otter
Rock.

when he had another attack.
On last Saturday afternoon and all
day Sunday we were confronted with
q strange sight, consisting OF thous'
ands and thousands of medium sizeu
butterflies, which seemed migrating
from the north to the SOUTH Whether
they came from the jetty or from the
Newport side, we don't know.
A few days ago, hearing a strange
purring sound, some of our people
rushed to the yards and discovered
an airplane circling around like
great bird preparing to pounce down
on some prey, but finally rightet
about and went to Newport.
