Senator'C. B. Crosno has prepar
ed an exhibit of the coal taken
from the Toledo mines to be for
warded to C. B. Avers, Oregon
mining commissioner of the World's
fair, who will place it on exhibit
ion at Chicago. The coal from
this mine has been examined by an
expert in San Francisco, who pro
nounced it far superior in quality
to any coal now mined on the coast
and fully equal to the English coal
which now sells in the San Fran
cisco market for $15 per ton. There
can be but little doubt that the
mine will be a very valuable one
when developed.
The future prosperity of Toledo
will depend to a great extent upon
the liberality and public spiritetlness
of her own citizens. The location
of the county seat at Toledo has at
tracted favorable attention to this
point, id many people will come
to seek 'homes or investments here.
The people must continue their
presentopen and hospi table manner
to all new coiners. To those seek
ing purchases property holders
must not ask unreasonable prices.
It is much better for a town to have
a hundred men owning $500 worth
of property each than fifty men
owning a thousand dollars worth
of property to every fine. Every
man who becomes a property hold
er in the town will become an advo
cate for its advancement and devel
opment.

Elk City, March 7, 1893.
Editor Lkadur: Perhaps a
line from this place would be of in
terest to the readers of the new pa
per. Elk City is quite an old town
having been located here at the
head of navigation as early as 1S66,
soon after the Yaquina Bay was
opened tip for settlement. At that
time Elk City was the largest town
on the bay, having special advant
ages for a thriving village. The
Big Elk and Yaquina river formed
a junction here the military wagon
road terminated nt this point and
the stage line connected with the
steam boat that conveyed passen
gers' to Newport, the popular sea
side resort of Oregon. These ad
vantages made Elk City a flourish
ing place for a n'tiniber of years.
The town was then composed of
two hotels, two dry goods stores,
blacksmith shop one livery stable,
one cabinet shop, one brick yard,
post office and a good district school.
But owing to a want of public spirit
in building up the town at the
proper time- it -went intft decline
and other points along the4ay took
the lead. Since the railroadAvas
puilt the wagon road has greatly
diminished, but Elk City has again
taken an air of progress ahd pros
perity and will at no distant day be
one of the best towns on the bay.
The town h now composed of one
good hotel, one store, postoffice and
a good public school. Of the old
settlers only one remains and that
is Mr. M. W. Simpson, who owns
a nice firm and passes his leisure
hours fishing for the beautiful trout
which abound hete in great num
bers 1 We are .surrounded with a
rich agriculturni country capable of
producing large crops of hay, vege
tables and fine fruits of all kind,
the soil being rich and productive
from the bottom to the top of the
highest hills. We need more pop'.
illation of a thrifty nnd industrious!
class, to develop thi' resources of th
countrv.
