ed tell through. The couii.v court
demanded n contract calling fur a

P. N. Lathrop, of Little Elk, was
in Toledo over night last Friday
night. In a conversation with him
he informs us that there are many
good pieces of vacant land on Little
Elk that are open to homestead
settlement. He says that he will
willingly locate any homesteader
free of charge if they will call on
him. He is anxious to see the
country settled up and improve
ments made.
The Salem Journal says; "Attor
ney Geo Bingham has gone to Cor
vallis, where he will endeacw to
collect Marion countv';; tases from
the Oregon Pacific road. Tile te is
about $7000 due our county from
this source, and as a suit fjr the
same was won by the comity in the
supreme court it is probable the
coin will be forthcoming." Mr.
Bingham need not count his money
before receiving it. When it comes
to the payment of the O. P. taxes
Lincoln county will have a finger in
the pie.
A petition is being circulated and
receiving many signatures, asking
for the pardon of Henry Miller who
was sentenced to Uie penitentiary
for life in 18S8 from Benton county
for murder in the second degree.
Miller was only 16 years old when
sentenced and his unfortunate deed
was the result of espousing his
brothers quarrel. He has been A
model prisoner, but his health is
brokeu and unless clemency is ex
tended soon it will be too late.
From what we can team of his case,
the unfortuuate boy is deserving of
executive clemency.
