SILETZ

DR.. C. H. Newth of Philomath came
over Tuesday, October 25th, to see
Mrs. Margaret L. Brown Cain who was
dangerously sick with pneumonia fol-
lowing an attack Of flu. This is a
dangerous form of pneumonia Mrs.
Cain fingered long until Monday
morning at A. M. when she quietly
and peacefully passed away. Mrs.
Cain was 23 years old and was the
oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
L. Brown who live on farm on Drift
Creek one mile from Millport where
the daughter died. Mrs. Cain was of
lovable, generous disposition and
very popular in the social circles
where she lived. The funeral service
was conducted by Rev. Cain, pastor of
the M. E. Church at Toledo. The in
terment took place near the home of
her parents. She was soon to have
been married but cruel Fate ordered
1t otherwise. Instead of wedding it
was funeral and her beautiful trous-
seau was used for that purpose. Her
intended husband was brother to
her sisters husband, Mr.. Max, who
lives at Marshfield. This sudden and
unexpected death cast a gloom over
the entire community.
Within the last few days we have
been favored with an old fashioned
Oregon rain, but as We have been
blessed with such fine fall weather,
we have no complaint to make. Most
of the farmers have their farm work
done and most Of the potatoes have
been dug and put in the dry. Since
the raise in the river the salmon and
salmon trout have been coming up
the river by hVndreds. The river
banks have been pretty well lined
with fishermen who had fine sport
catching the big speckled trout. 1t is
no exaggeration to say that Siletz and
its tributaries make some of the best
fishing grounds in Oregon. The water
shed is large and the great number of
small streams that enter the main
river make it an ideal spawning
grounds for the salmon. The people
who come from California and other
arid districts enjoy the shady rooks
and pure water along the banks of the
Siletz river.
Mr.. Mowery is now earring the u
S. mail between Mowery's Landing
and the Siletz and Tom Chatterton is
carrying the mail on the river to Taft
In a gasoline launch. These gentle.
men are genial and accommodating
and seem to have The good will of the
people all along the line. The wagon
road from Euchre mountain to, the
boat landing is Holy terror" but II
is said the stage driver never swears
This piece Of road would try the pa
thence Of Job. But the driver
wears pleasant smile and this makes
1t nice for the horses and passengers
Next year no doubt this part of the
road will be gravelled and made good
as the rest of the road.
The Ladies Aid will give Hallow
cen party at the public school house
Saturday evening, October 2sth. A
fine program will be prepared, ice
cream cake and coffee will be served
everybody cordially invited to at
tend and have a good time.
