Hodges was. in from Drift creek this week on business. What has become of the Toledo band? You ought to get in train ing for the campaign boys, Some of the boys evidently be iieve in having plenty of light on the subject. joe Turnidge started to teaching the spring term of school in the Parrish district last Monday. The Rock creek country is grad ually settling up. Tlie opening of the spring marks the advent of ui.tt.KM iicv seiueis lino mat felon;. , J. H. Maine, walked tip from Newport last Friday, and dropned In long enough to give us a cheer ful bit of chat. Call again Mr. Maine; , The Volanta made a trip up the hver to this place Tuesday, bring ing up some of the delegates to the bounty convention and several other visitors. The Salem Statesman adds insult lo injury by predicting that the prohibition state convention, which beets in tSalem this week, "will be a dry affair." There is every indication that the fruit crop on Yacptina Hay is going to be a most plentiful one this year. The season though some' what late presents the brightest out -look for fruit that this county has known for many years. , The' populist speaker af the court house last Thursday night was listened to by a small audience. The speaker made a very good talk from a populist standpoint, and should he ever again talk here he would no doubt be listened to by a much larger audience. . They are having a great discus sion in the Corvallis papers as to which have the most members in their campaign clubs, the rcpuhli- cans or democrats: Why don't they count the names on their membership rolls and thus end the dispute and save "rivers ofink." John "Uv&ii is doyn from the Rock creek co.uutry this week, lie Informs us that tlie Polk county people have raised 1,000 by sub scription and the county court of Pplk county have appropriated 500 more to open and improve the road from Dallas to Newport by the way of Rock creek and the -Siletz. (This road Is now opened from Rock through the Siletz reservation to Newport, nitd by the early opening pf the other end which the above appropriations insure the entire road from. .the valley hi Polk county to Newport will be in shape for the summer travel. This will add greatly to the number of visitors this summer to Lincoln county's popular seaside resort. , It is our intention to get out an edition of the IKA1i:r about the' middle of May giving a thorough . writeup of Lincoln county. This writeup will be descriptive in form and not confined to' any locality, lior will it aim o place one part of ithe county prominently ahead of any other part. The edition will be in a neat and readable shape and will be of not less than 5,000 copies J and if the proper encouragement is received from over the county it 'will be an edition of 10,000 copies. These will be distributed through out the cast for the purpose of at "tracting settlers and investois to our countryi In due time n rep resentative of this paper will call upon every locality in the county and hopes to receive proper en couragement from each. It is not our desire to make any money out of the scheme, but simply to make 'enough to cover the expenses of the 'edition, trusting that we will leap Vitir profit from the general good it vill do tup county. County court is in session, the. term beginning today. C. B. Crosno had business at the Siletz, the first of the week. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Conklin was out to Albany the first of the week on business. it Ihos. Smith's eyes should alight upon this item he will favor himself and friends by writing to U. bmith, Juniata, Nebraska, box 191. L. H. McMahan has been depos ed as editor of the Oregon Inde pendent, and he now sues the com yauy 101 3,700 oacK salary, mis . . I , . M. . leads an exchange to remark that if there is no mistake in the amount sued for it must have been for stuff they did not publish. Uscar lay lor and family will leave for Salem next Monday. He has traded his ranch near this place to a Mr. Huffman, of Salem, who has already come to take possession. We regret to lose Mr. Taylor and family, but he finds a better field of employment at Salem; Yaquina Bay will receive an appropriation of 135,000 this year. This is a much smaller sum than Mr, Hermann hoped to get, but he was greatly handicapped by a series bf Unfortunate events, not the least of which was the great railroad farce-tragedy that has been plnypfl rpppntlv nr) the Bp.". oiletz Morris, an Indian on the reservation killed a beef Steer one day this week which dressed 1,038 pounds. This steer never had a mouthful of anything to eat in his life but grass off the range. The fat on his sides was nearly two inches thick. How is that for rais ing beef? The time has Kga'iu come for this part of the Pacific coast to place its advantages before the people in the east. Many eastern people have their heads turned from the bleak long winters of the east to the mild, equable climate of the Pacific coast. It only remains for us to turn their eyes toward olir advantages and inducements and we are bound to get our share of theni; Take action at once. Self Explanatory. Yaquina, Or., Mar. 28, 1894. Editor Lkadkr I see my name used in your pa per as a candidate' on the Democrat ticket for county treasurer. I ap preciate the confidence the party have in me but will not accept the nomination for treasurer or anv other office. .Respectfully, II. M. Brunk. Married Under Difliciilties. A young couple ofKlkCity were married recently tinder such difli ciilties that it truly demonstrated the old saying that "the course of true love never runs smooth." The would-be groom first applied to the coun ty clerk for a license but was refused owing the1 girl being under 18 .years of age and he did not have her parents' consent. Af ter ten long days of weary pleading he finally gained the mother's writ ten consent, which, lie, mailed to the clerk but failed to enclose the necessary affidavit. This caused a delay of two days more. lie final- secured the license and went to Pioneer niter 'Squire Morrison to tie Hie knot, but as the 'Squire had been down to Elk City twice on false alarms in the same case he re fused to go. The young man went buck and got his promised bride in his boat and started for the Squire's. , When about a mile above Elk City he broke an otir. Nothing daunted he left his boat find bride tied up' and walked back home after anoth er oar. Once more in the boat they started onward, but their evil star, had not yet deserted them, for ere they had gone far tlie boat ran on a snag and stove a hole in it nnd began to fill so rapidly that they had to take to the land nnd walk the balance of the way. They ar rived at the 'Squire's without fur ther mishap, but imagine the con sternation of the groom when he discovered lluit he had left his pre cious license" at home 'One more round trip on foot to Elk City by the veary groom and nil the neces sary arrangements were, complete nnd the happy couple were made one. . ... . Kdiljulle Items. The inhabitants made bee and cleared out tlie new roail mat was laid out froilt the Little Elk road to the Yaquina toad. It is a much belter place for a roud thnn the old one is. . There was a dance at Eddyville last Friday night in Eddy's hall. Twenty-two couple danced all night to the music of the Glass band from Big Elk, and had no trouble to mar the enjoyment of the entertainment. Each furnished his own "muck a muck" to suit his own fancy. The weather seems as though it is trying to see how nice it can get : after so long a rainy spell the last I winter, if you could call it winter, and no cold weather that one could call cold back east. The fish are beginning to bite these warm days. Jack Allphin seems to catch a good string of them any time when he feels fish hungry. Mr. E. D. Young lost a valuable horse the other day. It fell into the Yaquina river and failed to make a landing where it could get up the bank. 2uidnunc! Nashville Notes. Mr. Jack Hall and wife left this place for Albany the other day; He will spend about two weeks visiting friends and relatives. W. M. Owen of Wren, and Jen nie Woods; ot -Blodgett, passed through here on the 30to on their way to the dance at Eddyville. Cy Say t,lC liaVc auauuul got tlieir crops 111 in spite of the rainy weather. Gilford Nash was out in the fore part of the week looking after his farm on Rock Creek, T. P. Uryant starts this week for Eastern Oregon. He will make his home at Huntington. Jas. Hamar, Sr., has rented the the old Dave Hamar place and will move on it this week. There was a surprise party at the residence of O. E. and J. A. Hamar the other night. Everybody pres ent had a good time. George Hamar, of tlil.j place has been trying to catch a Deer, as he says he would like to have one for a pet, but lie has found out that they are hard to catch, and ye scribe thinks he had the wrong kind of bait. There was a young mail arrested on Turn Turn last week on a charge of seduction and tried before 'Squire Warren. He was bound over in the sum one thousand dollars to await the action of the grand jury. The girl is only 1 2 yenf ? old and she ought to have the sympathy of the entire community. Charley Benson, of Rock creek, was out the other day. He said he had finished sowing his grain. Real estate transfers Fred Wag ner to T. P. Bryant, 40 acres, con sideration $700; Z. S.

One of the leaders of tjie party explained that he had been "sal nioned," and there was not a man, woman or child present who want ed to ciispute it. Considerable bitterness and dis appointment was manifested by some of the fellows who failed to "get there." - One of the speakers after the con vention offered a gratuitous insult to the ladies in the gallery by a smutty allusion in the whidup of his remarks. This was deplored by every republican present. Windy Bill Radir made the star speech of the occasion It was something like his chances for joint senator slightly mixed and rathet uncertain. A..L.
