The Democratic County Central
Cotntnittte met in Toledo on

Thursday, April 12, and will be
composed of 41 delegates.
A centleman by the name of

directors live in town. The country
portions of the district should surely
be represented.

The last nine days of the county

After the last business was put

The Hotel Lincoln will change
hands next week. Mr. and Mrs.
Buford's lease is up and they will
vacate. We are informed that Mr.
Mrs. Vincent, of this place has

they will keep up the high stand

ing. Well, the - present owner map
business has gone through." It
took nearly a half month session of
the county court and many talks,
walks and bracings up, but it finally
went through. The court bargain
ed away all the county fund and
one mill more, and still has the
sheriff to pay for assessing and
collecting the tax. -They are hav
ing their dance now, but they must
remember that the fiddler will have
to be paid.
The attorneys for the Farmers
L,oan and Trust Company have
filed a notice with the clerk that on
March ?nd an application will be

K.-KIniey FitSOli, tk? imported
pedigreed hojsier editor of the
Corvallis Gazette, seems to be hav
ing a hard time running Coivallis
and Benton county all by himself.
It is stated of him that not long
since he held a ponfidential chat
with a democratic committeeman,
as to when the best time would be
for the republicans to. hold their
primaries. " His last break was to
act in the capacity of peace-maker
in the Waggoner-Hartless scrap.
His ill luck still followed him, for
after a left hander from one of the
scrappers sent him to grass he re
solved "to let them fight and be
dhrned."
Geo, Waggoner and Wm. Hart-
less, two of Corvallis prominent
citizens, indulged in a two round,
bare knuckles scrap last Saturday.
The Times speaks of it as follows:
"What they fought about no
body knows, except that each call
ed the other a liar, and then the
fun commenced. The first round
was brief, but bloody. Eacn man
realized that he was not in the pink
of condition, and sparred cautiously
for a opening. In the midst of the
round Editor Kitson, who appeared
to be referee, attempted to settle
the thing, and a thump on the jaw
sent him on the ropes and his plug
nat to grass, from tnat time on
the mill proceeded without either
assistance or suggestions from him.
Ihe round ended with a right
hander from Hartless which sent
his opponent under the ropes, In
the second round Waggoner came
up groggy, but fought wickedly,
striking below the belt. Hartless
ran away to avoid punishment and
suddenly leu. aggoner tell on
top of him and after a brief struggle
the spectators decided it a draw and
interfered."

V.iio Told the 'iiutli. '
1 ;
It will be remembered that in the ;
issue of the Leader of February s', j
that T. E. Parker published a let
ter purporting to tell the exact
status of the present ownership map
business. The two following ex
tracts are from that letter and cov
er the matter of compensation for
the work. They read as follows!
"To get a complete system re
quired additional Jabor, so" I waived
my right to compensation under
the law and agreed with the county
court to furnish the maps for the
amount they would have to pay the
state as state tax, aud which they
would not have to pay, and wait
for my pay until the tax was col
lected, so that instead of paying the
state they would pay iie, and the
county would not be out one cent."
And again:
"Now don't be bamboozled by
the twisting and distorting that
interested parties give this matter.
The fact remains that Lincoln
county will not have one cent to
pay for the work we are doing.
The money that we get would have
to be paid to the state if the prop
erty had been on the roll when it
went in about two months ago, and
costs the county nothing.'.'
So much for Mr, Parker's ver
sion, Now what does the contract
that is signed by the members of
the county court, and also by T. E.
Parker and J. S Van Wjnkle,' say?
It says this;
"And the party of the first part
hereby agrees to pay to said second
parties in payment of such work as
rc.iuiu, CiCvcu niinS on cv ci y uui-
lar of the assessable value of all
property not assessed Lv the asses
sor during the year 180?, and at
the time the supplementary roll
hereinbefore described shall be
turned over to the sheriff by the
said second parties and reported to
the sheriff as aforesaid."
Now who told the truth Mr.
Parker in his letter of February 8,
or the Leader when it asserted
that they wre to get j 1 mills for
their work? And jti the whole
contract the state tax is not men
tioned. .

The squaw of our only resident
Indian, who resides in the old
Keady house, west of town, met
with quite a painful accident last
week. Owing to a mistep -she fell
down a bluff and fractutred three
ribs. Under the care of our charitr
able Dr. Diven, however, she is
rapidly convalescing and will, soon
be after the festive flounder again.
News come from the Siuslaw on
on Saturday last, of the arrest of
some fifteen hoodlums, who had
burglarized the Florence saloon.
One of the Batratt boys was said to

Politics are beginning to hum
around the store stoves, and the
Populist's call for a meeting on
Saturdry the 3rd, day of March, is
conspicuously posted.
A scrapping match is reported to
have occurred a few days ago, in
Lane county, between the United
States postmaster, at Minnie, and a
neighbor, Beyond a choking fpr
the postmaster and a chewed thumb
for the neighbor, the results were
not particularly disasterous to either
party concerned. Unles one at
taches obliquity to the affair.
A notice is out from the postal
authorities asking for bids for carry
ing the U. S. mail, between Wald
port and Axtell, on the Yahats.
The Ocean View postoffice was
discontinued some time ago, whence
the Axtel mail used to be de-
patched, and a direct route is now
established.
Mr. A. II . Guynn went down

Notwithstanding the hard times
