We note that the transfers of leal estate are gradually increasing in Lincoln county. The pulse of trade can be pretty accurately de termined by the transfers of real estate. F.

Last Tuesday while the freight was rounding a curve just above Klk City, a car lelt the track and went bumping along on the ends of the ties for a half mile or more. The car was pretty well shaken up and the ends of many of the tics reduced lo splinters, but nothing of a ser tons nature occurreil, wiitcli was extieiuely fortunate. Robt. Campbell, of Newport, or "Hob" as he is known by every person on the Hay has opened up a meat mrrket in this town at the old Smith ctand. Mr. Campbell is thoroughly Tenable nusiuess man Anything I ami will treat our people with fair- liug store I ness and courtesy.

Too much credit at a living price. We bespeak for him the patronage of our people and wish him the success he de serves. Tlie steamer Willamette Valley, which came up on Monday brought the heaviest cargo she has for over a year. She was to start for San Francisco today, and is loaded with 1.200 tons of freight, and is leaving seven car of freight which she was unable to take. It is very evident that the O. P. is in the field for bus- iness, and that the rapid increase of business will soon necessitate the putting on of another steamer on the Yaquina-San Francisco route. These signs of progress and business activity on the part of the railroad are very gratifying to the people of the Hay country. Some pretty fine potatoes are Assessor Parker says that owing to no exemptions fur indebtedness the gross valuation of Lincoln coun ty will greatly increased this year. The boys are telling a joke on one of our people who went to the mass meeting the other night leav ing his wife at a neighbors, and got so excited over the meeting that he walked clear home and never once thought of his wife till he got home and found the house locked and the key in his wife's pocket. Receiver Iladley and Supt. Mul- cahy went over the road and to Newport last Tuesday. On their return in the afternoon they stopped and held an interview with the peo ple of Toledo 011 the depot proposi tion. They made the definite offer that if the people would deposit $250 in any bank, payable to the company upon the completion of a depot building at Toledo, they would accept the remaining $250 in labor, and would proceed at once to erect a brick depot building not ess than 20x05 feel in size, and would push the same to rapid com pletion. Of the subscription al ready made about $250 was guaran teed in money, and the balance in work, and if the money subscribed is paid in at once on the above con ditions, the depot question at Tole do will he effectually and satisfac torily settled. We predict that in side of ninety days the O. P. trains will be stopping at a handsome and commodious brick depot in Toledo Pursuant to a published call the citizens 01 loleiio met in mass meeting in. Grady's hall last Tues day evening for the purpose of dis cussing the question 01 incorpor ating the town, and, if deemed the best, to appoint a citizens commit tee to take the preliminary steps to that end. The meeting was organ ized by electing J. F. Stewart, chairman, and C, Ii. Crosno, secre tary. The question of incorpor ating was then discussed by parties both for and against incorporating. After the discussion a vote was had which resulted in 24 for and 22 against incorporating. A commit tee was appointed to take the neces sary steps in the matter of incorpor ating, composed of the following gentlemen: C. B. Crosno, C. L. Gowell, Lester Waugh, B. F.Jones and Chas. Tillotson. The matter of changing the name of the town was mentioned, but it was deemed that Toledo was a very satisfactory name. The meeting was well at tended and the feeling of the people seemed to be well ascertained. The Pioneer stone quarry, locat-1 el about seven miles from Toledo, ! has been leased by its ow.iers, J. ! M. and J. H. Howell, to a syndi cate composed of Salem and Port land parties, consisting of D. Ry nearson, II. G. Luker and A. L. Headrick. The name of the com pany will be the Pioneer Sandstone company, lue stone is a gray sandstone and is considered by ex perts to be one of the finest stones on the coast, being superior to the famous Tenino, Washington stone. It has withstood successfully a chemical test which dissolved other sandstones considered good in two hours. Its capacity of resistance is greater, also, than any other stone found on the coast. It takes a beautiful finish and is soft enough to be easily worked, this latter operr ation being materially assisted by Mtraight grain of the stone. There is a whole mountain of this stone, and the supply is practicably inex haustible. The quarry is about 80 rods from the Oregon Pacific track and a spur will be built out to it. Until this spur is built the product of the quarry will be hauled to the railroad by teams and wagons, as tlip tipw rnmnnii" already have a thirty car contract to fill, Brother Coll VanCleave, of the Post, informed us one day this week that it is his intention to make many new and important im provements in the mechanical de partment of the Post. One of the most important changes which he informed us that he was already making was the putting in of a lin eotype, or type-setting machine, by which, he states, he can set twelve thousand ems of solid uoupariel per hour. When this machine arrives, which will be at an early date he informs us, he will issue a weekly paper containing 48 columns of sol id nonpariel reading matter outside of advertisements. The lineotype now being put in by the Post will be the third on the coast and the only one in weekly newspaper office the other two being in the offices of Daily Astorian and the Daily States man. The machine, so he informs us, will cost him about $5,000 in good, solid, gold coin. lie also informed us that he is getting a perfecting press built, something like the press the Oregonian is now- printed on, except some improve ments of his own patenting which will materially increase the speed of the press. With this press, he informs us he can print at least 60,000 copies of the Post in its pro posed enlarged form per hour, This press will cost him, he says about $5,000 more, which, with other small improvements which he tells us he w ill make, will run the total outlay up to about $15,000 in good, yellow coin, but Mr. Van Cleave tells us that he proposes to be second to none. The people of the Bay are to be congratulated up on the splendid paper the Post will 110 doubt issue upon the arrival of these many improvements, J H. McNEIL, t'EALEK IS Inn, Msi 1 1 . i am. 6?
