She continues to do a good business both ways. A delegate to today's convention walked thirty-five miles yesterday to get here in time to attend. Who feaid that patriotism is dead: Col. C. B.

Receiver Clark, Roadmaster Sul livan and Master Mechanic Chip man went out to the Summit on a Special engine last Tuesday. Messrs. Clark and Sullivan returned 111 the evening in time to attend --rtlMmll nt the Hotel Lincoln that night. A plain case of drunk made its iippearance 011 the street last Mon day, and was given a free lodging in the box cay which now does tluty as a calaboose.

District court is in session at Corvallis with ninety cases on the docket. Wm. Mackay was in from Cor vallis looking after his interests in this county. Miss' Maggie Mackey and Miss Mary McGee, of Corvallis are new employes at the Agency. The first populist to file accep tance of nomination is J. F. Ames, candidate for district attorney. Mrs. C. G. Copeland was called to Philomath last Tuesday by the serious illness of her aged father." The spring term of school , began last Monday with Prof. Bethers, as principal, and Miss Ruth Gaither, teacher of the primary department. A farewell dance was given Mr. and Mrs. Taylor at the Hotel .Lin coln last Tuesday night. A good time was enjoyed by the many present. Chas. C. Kenyon has sued Dr. J. M. Applewhite for $5,000 damages for alienating iiis wife's affections. This is one more step in the Applewhite-Kenyon scandal. Sol. Stock, the Corvallis chant, went nvrr In flip tw last Tuesday to look the ground over with a view of starting a sut ler's store at that place. Bob Campbell and an angry beef steer had a set to last Friday. It was nip and tuck for a while, but Bob "tuck" to a skunk cabbage swamp snake fashion and managed to escape. The Volanta carried an excursion from Newport to Klk City last Sunday! Owing to the uncertainty of the1 boat beiiig able to navigate the upper river there were but very few pleasure seekers on the excur sion. Ihe boat got to Klk City, however, without the least bit oi trouble, and after a short stop, just long enough for the crowd to par take of a most sumptuous' dinner at the Deyoe house, they returned, passing loledo about 4: xo o'clock in the evening. A kind of a general tear up has taken place over at the reservation, the result of which, so Car is that every white employe ht the Agency except the superintendent and doc tor is now out of a job, and thev are nilect with great doubt as to how long their job is going to last. There has been considerable friction among the employes at the Indian scliool tor some time. About two months ago Inspector P! Mc.Cbr mac, visited the agency and invest igated the matter and the recent dis charges by the Indian commissioner at Washington are the result of his investigations. The republicans of Benton county held their convention last Saturday, and the following nominations were made: Delegates to the state con vention, R: Dav.lsson, Miles Starr, Lee Ilenkle, 1'hos. Cooper, K. Woodward and Knotts; rep resentative, Thos. Cooper; judge, W. S. Hufiord; clerk, Ilenrv Kourthaur; commissioner, F. Chambers; sheriff, Geo'. W.Smith; recorder, II. T. Bristow; treasurer, Fred Clark i school superintendent, Prof. Holmes; assessor, M. llaydenj surveyor, Geo. Mercer. A caucas on joint senator decided on Talbert Carter, of Soap Creek, teuton county. It Is exacted that the O. P. men will meet with another pay day next Monday when they,, w ill re ceive their wages for the mouth of March. Receiver Clark will be able to meet the entire pay roll for the month of March and have a suiplus of about $155. The road met with a deficit in January, which was largely due to the prostrated J condition of the road's business, j There hail been no steamer con j nectious between San Frnncisco.mil I Yaqtiinn for several w eeks, nnd the Willamette liver trallic had been Mrs. M. M. Armstrong, of Cor vallis, has been appointed to the position of matron at the Siletz Indian school. She will be quite well remembeied by many of our'i readers as proprietress of a restau rant at Coivallis. A good laugh is being enjoyed at the expense of the late republican county convention, by the reason of their heartily endorsing the Chicago platform of 1892. It will be remembered that this platform was built by the convention that nominated Grover Cleveland for president. The best of 'em are liable to make slips. A monster petition was presented to the county court at its last term asking for the erection of a bridge acioss Kckman slough on the road which is being opened up from upper to lower Alsea valleys. The petition contains in all 433 names, 48 of which are residents of the road district in which the proposed bridge is to be located. A few of the petitioners are residents of Benton county. This bridge is much needed and if tlierd is any way possible by which the court can see its way to build the bridge the prayer of the petitioners should be granted. As it is now there is no road down the Alsea river from Tidewater to Waldport and if this highway was owned it u-nnM r,i-;..nr much traffic and travel in that way. boys and can be seen going beach ward with buckets and shovels to look for the highly prized bivalves.

Waldport Items, The Schooner Mayflower, of San Francisco, arrived in on the 4th, after a passage of twenty-two days. She brought up ten tons .0 freight for the Alsea merchants, at the rate of $6 per ton, the cheapest that ever freight was brought in here from that place. We hope she may continue to make regular trips, as it will be a great advantage to people living in this vicinity. 'She met with a slight accident just be fore gelling in. The tug Robarts, of Siuslaw, went out to meet Iter and coming about preparatory to passing the htwser aboard the two vessels collided, the tug striking her 111 the port quarter raised a few ..1:. ....... 1 1 . Buveia on ner our none ner no serious damage. The tug also damaged her stem slightly but riot enough to cause her any delay The Mayflower is now laying at Harrison's wharf, taking on a cargo of spruce lumber, to go to Moss Landing, California. She will take about 150000 feet and will be ready to sail in a few days. We see the smiling faces of the delegates to the republican county convention again on our streets, They seem to be quite jubilant over nominations they made for office. It is rumored by parties that at tended the last meeting of the county court that the bridge across the Kckmauu slough has been granted. We hope it has for it is badly needed and will benefit the settlers of the upper Alsea greatly, also will be the means of bringing in considerable summer travel to the Bay that would not come if they have to conie down bv water. Hon. Thos. Stakely, the people's candidate for joint senator, address ed the citizens of Waldport on Saturday night, conccrniusr the political issues of tlte day. He drew quite a large number of people out to hear him and undoubtedly gamed some convert ) to the cause. The democratic primary was held In Stanford on the 7th and appointed Jacob Holgate, John Kingsley and W. H. Harrison to attend the county county. Dr. Diven and his his daughter, Annie, departed on the tug Robarts for Siuslaw the latter part of the week. Suppose they only went ou a pleasure trip as the tug will bring them back 111 a few days. Messrs. J. L. Allen, John Brooks and Lewis Capsel, of Waldport have gone out this week to prove up on fieir claims, Fd. Brooks took his departure ' for the Valley very suddenly on Monday. We think he must have! got the mitten us we noticed his' girl out on board the Mayflower trying 10 make a mash on one of the sailors.

The democrats of Lincoln county, Oregon, in convention assembled, adopt the following declaration of principles and measures as their platform in the coming campaign: 1 We reaffirm and again de clare our faith and advocacy of the imperishable principles and doc- I trines of the democratic party as I 00 promulgated bv its earlv founders: 2 We charge upon the republi' ban party and its reckless and ill advised legislation the evils aud troubles from which the people are now, and have been suffering for a long time. The low prices of farm products, non-employment of labor, the general an ' wide-spread de pression 111 business and the almost universal stagnation of all our in dustries, all withdut doubt the re sult of unjust rtnd burdensome tax es of their high and over-protective tariff system, and other class legis lation. ... 3 U e believe 'hat all taxes should be equal and just, and that the wealth of the nation should bear its just proportion of the bur dens of the government. To tlii: end we most earnestly favor the taxation of the incomes of the rich. 4 We claim that a fixed system ot salaries for rill public officers should take the place of the fee sys tem. 5 We arraign the last legisla ture of this stat? ' for its reckless Squandering of the peoples money by exhorbitant and unnecessary ap propriations" and hold the republi can party of the state., responsible for the unquestioned bad legisla tion o" that party. 6 The democracy of Lincoln county favor sound money, the money of the constitution', everv 5 00 150 1 00 of which shall Is of equal in- tiiMilnr MM,. 1 . . . . 1 01 .. ....... llv. .hum loiiiam it Will Pay VOU to see ME before Buying, .
