SILETZ

Seymour Bell and N. p. Sarinson OF
Portland were visitors at SiIerz Mon
Gay. Mr.. Sarison is a logger and
umberman Of long experience. Mr.
Bell Is well known in the county, but
Mr.. Sarison had never been in the
county before. He wanted to know
the timber resources and the faciii.
ties for getting 1t to market. These
gentlemen were well pleased with
Siletz and the timber that grows in
this section of the county. When told
that Siletz had in standing timber, un-
touched by the hand of man, about
eighteen billion feet of lumber, as
fine as grows anywhere in the north
west, this was a revelation to Mr..
Sarinson, who is familiar with the
timber interests of Oregon. These
gentlemen came over from Newport
with DIR. Belt in the doctors car.
Jim Franks, Chris Larsen, E. E.
Colyin and Harald Hansen went over
Tuesday morning to work On the new
stock pavilion that is being built a.
Toledo on the fair grounds This
building is 40 by 100 feet, set on rock
piers covered with cedar shakes. 1t
Will be very suitable building for
the purpose Of the fair. 1t was a com.
munity affair and the work was vol.
unteer. The hdies served free din.
ner. Just such dinner as farmers
wives know how to prepare on old
fashioned farms. Some twenty-eight
persons worked on the structure and
no time was lost. 1t should have
been a hundred persons working on
the building as it is matter of SO
much Importance to all the farmers
OF the county. This apparent neglect
OF farmers to take an interest in O
matter of so much Importance to
themselves does not speak well for
the public spirit of the county. 1t is
not enough to make a mere living but
we should take pride in bringing Lin
coin county up equal to Tillamook, or
any of the coasi counties. This can
be done but it takes continuous per-
seVering work to do. The Siletz
cheese are already gaining in the con-
hcence and support of the people by
the. excellent quality of the product
1t is selling readily at Newport, To-
ledo. Siletz and other towns in the
county.
The logan berry people Of the 81
letz are looking forward to the time
when cannery will be established at
Siletz manufacture the fruit into
jelly, juice and jam, which it is es-
pecially adapted for The demand for
the Juice and jelly is increasing right
along. 1t is said in New York fiz
made out Of logan berry juice is
worth fifty cents. This drink is es.
pecially used in hospitals for sick
people.
In few days a hundred hop pickers
will leave for the hop fields of the
Valley, to Independence and Corval-
lis. Billie Metcalf is the manager and
leader in getting these pickers to-
gether and will look after their inter-
ests while in the hop fields. Siletz
will be quiet place when all these
people leave.
