YACHATS FARM BUREAU
PICNIC BIG SUCCESS

"You bet we will be back next year"
best expresses the attitude of the peo-
pie from all over the state who were
in attendance at the big Farm Bureau
Picnic held at Yachats July Goth and
Goth. There was something doing
every minute and differing from SINH
liar occasions. there was more doing
than advertised.
I Aside from the many native attrac.
tions of the Yachats, Fridays enter
tainment consisted Of a big free din
ner served cafeteria style, followed
by an excellent program of music,
speaking and dialogue. Following the
program was sport program and in
the evening a big bonfire on the
beach.
Saturdays program consisted of a
special clam, crab and salmon bake,
an afternoon sport program and big
bonfire on the beach at which all the
new and best stories Of the age were
told.
The Newport band added wonder
fully to the occasion.
People in attendance were insistent
that the event be made an annual
one, promising to bring their neigh.
bors with them next year.
The remarkable thing about the
picnic was that the success of the
affair cannot be credited to any one
or few individuals as the whole south
end Of the county jumped right in and
helped the Yachats Farm Bureau peo,
pie make success of it. For the
dinner, pies and cakes came by parcel
post from all over the territory True
1t is however, special credit is due
Messrs. Mitchell, Kocher and Mrs
Harrison of the committee on ar.
rangements and Mrs. Hoffman of the
program committee, and Mrs Reinoehl
who remained night and day with the
stand, and Mr.. Hays who run his
truck at high tide or low-,but 1t would
be impossible to enumerate all those
deserving credit for the big success
Of the event was due to the fact that
everybody there just jumped in and
did all they could to make every
body else have a good time
That the people appreciate an event
put on not with a view of money max
ing but for the good time of all was
certainly well illustrated by the ac
tion of many of the visitors who came
to the committee asking to be per.
mitted to make donations to help de
fray expense.

cipal; Miss Lurena Treat, reelected,
9TH and Sth grades; Miss Jessie Clark,
4th, 9Th and 9Th grades; Mrs. Colvin,

authority Of the tax payers, are max
Ing extensive Improvements on the
Siletz school buildings to cost about
800. A new stairway Is being built
entering from the front of the building
TO the east with an eight by twenty
foot porch in front of the stairway.
The room on the ives. that was used
for wood shed will be fitted up for
a school room. This will make four
rooms that can be used for school pur-
poses. With this new and splendid
equipment and live corps Of teachers
Siletz may look forward to very sue
cessful year. The principal comes
from the state Of Washington and Is
highly recommended as an educator
and disciplinarian The foundation OF
our republic rests upon our public
schools, hence they should be intensly
democratic and patriotic. The trail
should be made plain and strong
leading to the college and university.
This cannot be done without hard
study and good training. The student
who is well up in athletics and good
sports such as basketball baseball,
and tennis will make better scholar
than the one who does not like sports.
Messrs. Kearns and Williams, with
their wives drove to Salem and spent
a week looking over the logan berry
situation. They visited number OF
big berry growers and it was the opin.
ion of all of them hat the logan berry
industry had come to stay While the
price paid this year is very low this
is only temporary because of the big
price paid last year the people who
hold the produc. want to get their
money back, consequently but few
sales are made. The people don't
want to pay the high prices for the
product Messrs. Kearns and Will.
iams are going to put in extra labor
to develop the berry industry at 81.

TWO JURY TRIALS

The regular August term Of Circuit
Court was concluded Wednesday
evening. But two jury trials were
had. one being tried Monday and the
other Tuesday.
The first was that of George Lewis.
Of Winant, VS.. the Southern Pacific
R.. R. Co., Mr.. Lewis suing for $4,000
damages for alleged damage to his
Oyster Plantation by reason Of the
defandant company dumping mud
and debris from a slide, which oc-
cured on their tracks, over the bank
onto the beach above his oyster bed.
Mr. Lewis claimed that this mud had
washed down and buried the oysters,
and as result of this coating of mud
they had smothered. The jury re-
turned verdict of $171 for Mr.. Lewis.
Attorney B. F, Jones of Newport
represented Mr.. Lewis, and Attorney
Hampson, of Portland defended the
r. II. Co.
The second jury trial was that Of
d. S. Conrad VS.. Warren Ashworth.
This trial proved to be more or less
OF a farce. The plaintiff was suing
defendant for damages received in
personal encounter about year or
two ago. MI Conrad was represented
by b. F. Jones, and Mr. Ashworth by
Hawkins, McCluskey and Clarke. The
jury brought in verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $3.50 Plaintiff
must pay all costs, which amounted to
$500, so the plaintiff came off loser
in the end.

dicted by the Grand Jury on a charge
Of larceny He plead guilty as in
dicted and was sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary. The Court
parolled him, however, to his brother,

turned not true bill,

SHOT BY APACHES

Edward E. Towner, a pioneer of Arizona, had his leg amputated at the Pioneer Home, at Prescott, few days ago. Amputation was found neces- sary because of inflammation of an old wound caused by an Apache bullet. Towner when a boy was herding cattle near Prescott when he ran into an Apache ambush. He succeeded in getting away but not until he had been badly wounded in the leg above the knee. This wound had never properly healed and as result had lost the use of the leg. Although ad- vanced in years he is said to be get ting along nicely.
 The country surrounding. Prescott could yield many stories similar to that of Towner, the whole region south to Wickenburg having been the battle-ground between the reds and whites since the first emigrant made his appearance in the early fifties of the last century.
