enjoy these sports with all the ~
tersity Of their youthful spirits. We
do not nave 10y enough in this world.
Some OF us go with gloomy faces and
sad looks as though the worl! had
turned against u3 and we had moth
ing TO live for. Let us smile ana ba
happy and the world will smile with
us. in the auditorium q fine literary
Program was rendered which all tn
.oyed. Charles Larsen. president #
the Club gave US a good talk along
the lines Of encouraging the commun.
ity spirit, Of the splendid order that
prevailed, and the great interest
taken by the community in attending
and taking part in these meetings.
A nice luncheon was served by the
ladies and the proceeds from the
lunch which was about $40 will be
used for the benefit of the Club The
membership now is about so with the
number increasing at every meeting.
Some land sales have been made
during the week which will change
matters somewhat in our citizenship.
Joe Dowd has sold his fine farm con.
sisting OF 80 acres OF level land, most
OF 1t cleared, to Joe Kosydar, con-
sideration $500. Mr.. Dowd will
move to Grand Ronde, the place from
whence he came several years ago.
Mr.. Kosydar will proceed at once to
improve the farm and make IL one OF
the best In the county. Some twenty
years ago Joe Kosydar, came to ST.
letz without a dollar. Took the mail
contract from here to Taft and for
several years. carried the mail on
foot. This shows what a man OF
energy and business push can do. He
now has 800 acres of as fine land as
can be found anywhere. He has
large family and everyone of the
children that are old enough work
You find no idlers in the family. The
children are kept in school during the
school year but work nights and
mornings and at other times when
out OF school.
Maurice Andersen has sold his
farm near the Agency 10 AL Taylor,
who already has ten acres where he
lives and this new purchase viii, give
him a farm of go acres nicely To-
Gated right in the heart of the Siletz
Valley. The price is said to be
$4,000. Mr.. Andersen will probably
purchase other property near the
Agency. We can i'll afford to lose
such families. We want them to stay
here for Sileiz has bright future and
time will bring it out.
Jack Morgan the timber baron WIS.,
tied Siletz for a few days looking
after his interests here. He owns
the Stempel place on the Siletz river
This place is located where the wagon
road and the boats that ply on the
river meet. This will be an import
ant station some day. If the road
was rocked and finished up from
Euchre Mountain to the Stempel land
ing it would open up good road and
waterway from Siletz to Taft. This
ought to be done as soon as possibie.
Then by completing the Market road
from Siletz to Toledo a good way
would be opened up to get to the
county seat as we'll as to connect with
the railroad and the Corvallis-New-
port highway and would permit COM
municaaion with the outside world
both by water and land
