going on here for two weeks closed
Sunday evening. The meetings were
well attended and everyone seemed to
be interested in the singing and the
fine eloqent sermons preached by the
pastor Of the Church, Rev. C. w.
Pogue. The moral spiritual and in.
telectual conditions of the community
were greatly benefited by the meet.

to the church. The order was excel

Charles Klipple of the Bell Tele.
phone Company, with his family have
been here for several days installing
machines and putting up telephone
lines. Mr.. Ripple is an expert at
the business and he is going to see that
the work is done right this time.
Some people are queer. One man
would not let the lineman come into
his house to fix his machine but fixed
it himself. | suppose he did not like
the looks of the lineman. When this
job is completed we may expect splen.

/ notice in the Portland papers they
are having great "Uproar" inreguard
to the dances in the public schools.
The ministers and directors have lock-
ed horns on the subject and call each
other hard names. The directors
stands for the dance properly chapron-
ed and the ministers are opposed to
the dances in the public schools under
any condition. 1t appears the young
men have got so nice they won't dance
with the young ladies' at all unless
they viii. park their corsets. This is
new advance in modern education
The young folks at Siletz are not that
far along yet. 1t seems Dr. Wilson a
prominent minister has the evidence
that school dances are conducted in
that way, such things might go On
in dance hall and not be noticed by
a great many persons
1t is fact that a great many girls
date their downfall from attending
these dances. These young men say
they won't dance with young ladies
that are 'iron-clad with corsets. This
IN hot he
people are going to the bad and If not
checked will result in the down fall
of our boasted civilization. This is
a fast age. The home training of
children is going out of fashion and
the children are allowed to do about
as they please. The little dears must
not be corrected but allowed to do as
they please. We DOM have home
government any more. The govern
ment is turned over to the school and
it dosen't take prophet to see where
we are drifting.
This community was shocked to hear
of the sudden death of County Judge
John Fogarty which occurred at his
home in Toledo Monday night
Judge Fogarty had been in poor
health since taking office. He did not
want the office, but his friends insiste-
ed he should run that he could be
elected. He finally consented and he
result showed he was elected by a
good majority. He had been County
Judge before and had a good record.
The people trusted him and this was
strong factor in his reelection. He
desired to finish up his term but cruel
fate ordered it otherwise. He was
conscientious, well informed in county
matters and wanted to do the best
thing for the people. He was care
ful and economic in the use of peoples
money. l often heard him say he
must treat all the people alike. In
business he had no favorites. He
wanted to do justice to all. His record
is made, his race run, his life was
snuffed out like candle in the midst
of important matters that he hoped
to finish up but he was not permitted
to do it, Hail and farewell
Superintendent Chalcraft left on an
official visit in his district. He will
go as far as Seattle before returning
home.
S. T. Louden District Deputy Of the
Grange is visiting Siletz in the interest
of the order.
