LOWER SlLETZ PEOPLE
REBUILDING HOMES

Mos. people are sympath.2ing with
the Lower Siletz people because of
the devastation Of the recent flood
and these people are deserving of
sympathy because some OF them lost
house, barn and cattle. But very
remarkable thing is happening on The
Lower Siletz-instead of giving up
the ship" and going outside to hunt
job the good Siletz people have set
about at once to rebuild or moving
and this time to higher ground. They
are not sad-they are cheerful lot.
They acknowledge their loss is bad
but with reverence express gratitude
that it was not worse. How fortunate
there were no human lives lost. Many
Of the farmers saved some Of heir
cattle, and a little feed. Many of the
buildings while wrecked, were not total
losses. In some instances where the
farmers had slashed his land, the high
water cleared it for him and over the
whole farm land laid down a rich layer
VI new silt soil from the roily water.
With one voice the Lower Siletz peo-
pie say, THE water fooled us this
time but it wont catch us again"
They all express faith in the immensly
deep rich river bottom soil.
Relief supplies have found a well
come place but the needy will not need
help long. They are not afraid of
work as we'll illustrated in letter
recently received by the Committee.
The writer who had lost everything in
the food wrote-"I guess I'll get along
alright but as l have to go back onto
