so years ago, lighting single handed
against the forces Of nature.
Islands near the mainland receive
mail each day. where possible. while
those more remote are visited twice
a week. With the close Of naviga-
ton the mail carrier becomes the
chief link IN the lives OF the island
/ folk with persons on the mainland.
In the fall. before ice comes. the
! carriers deliver their pouches by
means OF gasoline launches. With

Saturday Noon
Two Little Girls Fall from Dock
While Playing; One Is Res
cued by Men in Boat.

Reatha, the S-year-old daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Small Of this city,
was drowned in the bay Saturday
about noon while playing with her
cousin, Mabel Small, whose home is
in Elk City. From the information
gained 1t seems that the little gir.s
were walking on the S-inch plank at
the extreme edge Of the dock when one
of them lost her balance and pulled
the other overheard also, falling some
IL feet to the water below.
It is not known just how long the
little girls were In the water. Ernest
Dixon, a Mr.. Dustison and Rich Cha.-
terton happened to pass in a boat and
noticed one of the girls struggling in
the water. They Immediately res
cued little Mable and as soon as she
was able to speak she told of her
cousins fate.
Frantic efforts were made by the
above named men and others who had
gathered and 1t was considerable time
before the body of little Reatha was
discovered at the bottom of the boy.
The little girl was taken on the deck
Of the "Robarts" and for severa, hours
doctors worked over her vainly at
tempting to revive her.
The body was taken to Marion, Ore
gon, on the afternoon train Sunday for
burial.

Coyote Club to
Hold Meeting at
EddyViIIe June ;
EddyvilIe Man Sends Out lnvi-
tation to All Goat, Sheep and
Poultry Raisers to Attend
Meeting.

The Leader Is in receipt Of letter
from W. J. Cline of Eddyville asking
all people interested In the exter1aina-
ton of the destructive coyote, such
as those who raise sheep, goats or
poultry, to attend a meeting of the
Coyote Club to be he'd in that village
on Saturday, June3. Mr.. Cline says
that unless some drastic action is
taken many people will be forced out
|of the above named industries, not
being able to combat the pest single
handed. His letter in part is as fol-
lows:
"Sheep and goat men, chicken and
turkey raisers-the time Is coming
when the old red hen can't hatch a
brood Of chickens in the fence corner
and the turkey gobbler will have to
change his roost from the fence to a
high limb in the trees; the goats no
longer can make their bed grounds
On the high knobs of the goat haven
country OF Lincoln county and grazing
sheep are constantly in danger. Why
because the coyotes are increasing
in such numbers that unless some
thing is done we will all be bankrupt
through the destructiveness of this
preying pest. l repeat 1t again, II
something is not done in the way Of
concerted action against the coyote
the coming summer the sheep and
goat industries in Lincoln county will
be no more"
"Be at the meeting in Eddyville on
Saturday, June 3, and let's see If
we can't get together and make
things hot for the coyote"
