John Kamle who lives at the Upper
Farm bought a tractor at Corvallis
and brought it over Saturday as far
as the logging camp in car and from
there 1t pulled itself to Mr.. Kimles by
Its own power with heavy loaded
wagon in tow. John Isaacson helped
Mr.. Kamle to bring the tractor over.
Mr.. Kamle will commence plowipg
just as soon as the weather will per-
NIT. His idea is to sow the grain in
the fall and this will give it time to
ripen and harvest before the Septem-
ber rains set in. By doing this he be-
lieves the crops can all be saved. Mr..
Kamle will urge fall sowing. He ex-
poets to plow for his neighbors ana
see II better system OF farming can
be obtained than has existed hereto
fore.
The water fall within the last six
weeks has been about five inches
about the same precipitation as Will
liamette Valley. The hop and prune
pickers have returned with hardly
enough money to get home. 1t don't
pay to pick hops when it rains.
Mr.. Hamilton, a newcomer, has
DOuSul Hlly-lINc dCIcS vi JOe hooy udi
and will make his home here. The
land Is located about two miles this
side of the Orton store on the south
side of the Siletz river and known as
a part of the King Rippen place.
Price s25 per acre.
Ord Castle has finished the survey
to the Gorge and says the elevation
Is 300 feet above sea level. The dis
tance from the Agency to the Gorge
Is thirteen miles.
Friday, October the eight, in the
afternoon was cleanup day for the
Siletz school, All the litter and trash
from the new building were cleaned
up and all the trash on the school
campus was cleaned up and burned.
The wood was put in the dry and a
suggestion was made that the high
school boys and the principal could
keep the wood back and piled up If
the rest Of the school would bring 1t
in. Intense was the rivalry and great
was the perspiration lost by those in
side to keep up with the swarming
brigades Of wood carriers and wheel
barrows outside till the entire pile
of wood was in the dry. The lumber
remaining outside was also put in
the dry. This made everything about
the buildings and campus as clean
and neat as a pin. We have busy
school this year. Already the der
pertinent of the pupils show the good
discipline of the teachers On Tues
day morning Columbus Day was duly
observed by an assembly Of the entire
u,b q
splendid program appropriate to the
occasion was rendered. Some OF the
parents were present and took part
in the exercises Where all did well
it would be invidious to make compar-
isons. We hope that the new building
and gymnasium can be gotten In
shape for arsentertainment to be given
on October 22 or %. Special care will
be taken to get up something interest
ing. Plans are under way for seating
the play house and completing some
inside fixtures.
Charlie Larson, the efficient clerk
in the office, has gone to Salem on a
short vacation.
Ed. Stocker and John Fogarty are

relation to their candidacy. MT.

ic ticket for assessor and Judge Fogar-
ty is candidate on the same ticket for
the office of County Judge. These gen

They are both jolly good looking fel-
lows and will no doubt please the
ladies.
