Mr.. Fred Frazier an attorney from
Oakland, California, who was visiting
with Clyde Morris on the Lower ST.
letz, was drowned Sunday afternoon
In the Siletz River near Mowerys
Landing. At the Ooronor's inquest it
was found that he was getting out of
his boat, when he was stricken with
heart failure or appoplexy, and fell in
the river and drowned. He was
young man. aged "a. No one was pres
ent at the time the drowning occurred
So It is not possible to tell exactly
how it happened.
The Near East program was given
In the Government School building on
Wednesday evening, June First to a
crowded house. Fifty peiso were
turned away. The reason of this big
audience-:t was a kind OF co-opera-
tive affair. The Community Club,
Grange and Good Roads people had
unexpectedly met together at the same
place and at the same time. But this
was happy surprise for the good
roads people would not have had such
q large audience had it not been for
by the SiletZ Orchestra; Address by
Ralph Hamar, Master OF the Valley
Grange; vocal solo, Miss Gabell Lar
sen; vocal solo, Jess Daniels; sixty
minutes given to the SiletZ Minstrel
troup; address by Supt. Edwin L.
Chalcraft, representing the Commun-
ity Club. The minstrel show was up
to date, very fine and greatly enjoyed
by the audience. This performance
was highly complemented by one of
the speakers-Mr. Dennis. He thought
1t was as good as many minstrel
shows he lad seen in much larger
cities. Newport and Toledo came
over with large delegations. From To
ledo we noticed a number of good
roads boosters: Mr.. and Mrs. McClus-
key, Mr.. and Mrs Renus Arnold, Mr..
and Mrs. Frederick, Mrs. Warren
Hall, Mr.. and Mrs. William Graham,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fern Hayden, and his
brother and wife, Nr. and Mrs. Patter-
son From Newport came o her boos,
ters, Ed. Abbey, Dr. Berry, Lester
Martin, DR.. Belt, General McAlexander,
Chauncey Hawkins and Mr.. Dickinson.
These folks enjoyed the play yer,
much evidenced by their applause.
Edwin l.. Chalcraft acted as chair
man and introduced the following
speakers, first, Lieutenant Patterson,
who made rousing good roads talk,
then came General McAlexander OF
World War fame who told us of the
splendid roads Europe had and without
good roads the war could not have
been carried to successful termina
ton. The General looks every inch a
warrior The receipts of the evening
were S42.55 which will be placed to
the credit of the Near East fund when
some expenses are taken out. The
whole amount from this place will DE-
about $4,000. Judge FCgarty was also
with Toledo's crowd.
On Friday che public school gave a
picnic dinner IN the Wilbur Grove
about one mile above the Agency on
the banks of the Siletz River. A most
beautiful place. About $50 persons at
tended with all. the school children
and teachers. Cars were run free
from the Agency to the picnic grounds.
An excellent dinner was served and
after dinner games of ball, swinging
and other sports were engaged in TIL
late hour. The community seemed
to vie with each other in trying TO
make everybody happy. Siletz is be-
coming noted for their public spirit
and wholesouled hospitality. Sns
feels that her favored and beautiful
location nesting among the hills Of the
Coast Range is a shrine that is being
more recognized and the green witch
cry that border the ripping, splashing
waterfalls of Siletz is being appre-
ciated more than ever by all lovers of
nature. When the Lincoln County
macadam road is completed to New.
port connecting up with the Pacific
Highway and when our Market Road
is completed we will have cars COM
ing here every day in the year II
do not know of any river in Oregon
which has so many nice places for
fishing as the Siletz River and its
tributaries.
