SILETZ
(By DR.. Carterl

The Mininit Brothers closed their
camp meeting Sunday evening. AT
Ter the rain commenced the meeting
was moved to the church. Elder
rGrout, the evangelist, is very abe.
logical and eloquent speaker Fl.
sermons were plain, forcible and cas-
lily understood by all. The singing
was unusually good, led by Prof. G.
b. Wftee. Towards tie close of the
meeting some 10 or ~ went forward
TO the altar seeking a change of heart
and new life. On two occasions the
beautiful song selected by Rev. C. X.
Ellsworth to be sung at his funeral.
1t was rendered by quartet consist
ing or Rev. j. G. Grout, C. B. Wite,
Mrs. Leon Holmes and Mrs Morris
Anderson presided at the piano. The
title OF the song is 81 Will Shout His
Praise in Glory" This song expressed
the feelings and faith Of Mr.. Ellsworth
alter a long life Of Christian work in
most beautiful way. He believed
in what he preached and felt that the
happiness of real life will Just con-
mence when we reach the other
shore. The song was sung by spec
ial request and it made a deep i'm
preston on the audience.
On Thursday we were visited by a
former agent of Siletz, Major T. ].
Buford of Harlan, accompanied by his
neice, Mrs. Pearl Lake, and her sons,
Ray and Lew, of Los angeles, and Mrs
Ira Wade and children of Toledo This
party spent the day at Mrs. Marie An
derson's old friends. Mrs. Lake drove
har I H.
% years since she and Mrs. Anderson
had met having been children togeth-
er in Siletz. They had glorious
time recounting old and recent events.
Supt. Chalcraft and his clerk, c. E.
Larson, were on a business trip to
Portland and Major Buford did not
get to see them. However, he was
pleased with the looks of things and
took great pleasure in going over the
grounds he once knew so wei, He
noted many changes that had taken
place since he was here as aagent
He met many Of his Indian friends
and had a good visit with them. He
has faith in Lincoln county and a
warm place in his heart for Siletz
He promised to make another visit
some future time. He looks well and
don't grow old very fast. Youthful
looks and beauty still stays with him.
We are still bothered with moon
shine. Last week sewing machine
man, pretty well filled UP with the
vile stuff, passed through Siletz
driving at break.neck speed; came
near running over two indian women.
They had to dodge right and left to
get out of his way as he ciz-zagged
from one side of the road to the
other. In such cases you hardly have
time to think before you are knocked
into a cooked hat-a swish, thud
and you are in tie "happy hunting
grounds Some five or q fatalities
have already occurred in this county
and the Lord only knows how many
more will be kNed if the manufacture
and use OF the rotten stuff is not
stopped. 1t is a plain violation OF
law for any intoxicated person to
drive car and it is also {. violation
of the law to exceed the speed limit
and a good citizen will not try TO
beat the law. If law is bad the
best way to get rid OF it is to en-
force 1t.
Sunday evening a couple Of indian
girls got hold OF some mOOnshiue ana
were soon crazy drunk and fought
each other like tigers; yelled and
screamed so that you ccuid hear them
all over town: pulled h-ir and kicked
like i couple OF professionals; knock
ed window lights out and broke a wind
shield out OF & car. This is an eHhi-
bition OF what moonshine is doing
