" The mar; v.ir, i; 'nintingaborae, especially if he be of moderate means, will do well to investigate the chances in Lincoln county. It will pay the homeseekers to tee what the opportunities and resours es of this county are. To the man who is seeking for broad acres where he may farm' on a magnifi cent and grand style; where he can ra'se vast fields of wheat or corn, and having raised and marketed his large crops nnds that tne prohts are exceeded by expenses, this county offers no inducements. Neither does it offer any inducements to the man who believes firmly that nature brought him into the world and is therefore in honor bound to keep him alive, without effort or exer tion on his part. But to the man who is seeking a small home, where the labors of himself and family will cultivate and improve iti he will find it here. In Lincoln coun ty he will find a soil that for fertil ity cannot be excelled in any, part of the whole country. In these mountains and along the streams he will find valleys and dells where man can live off of the fruits of his labor and live like a king on the products of his own farm. In his fields he can grow the finest vege tables that ever graced a market; in his orchards, if properly . attend- r1 Via pom rrrryif frnifq V'jf Tt.rv'l ' O ' ' " f please the gaze and tickle, the palate of the veriest fruit epicure in the world. Apples, Pears,; Plumbs, Prunes, Peaches, and all kinds of similar fruits can be raised in an abundance. His berry patches are always fruitful when properly cared for. On his meadow lands grow the nutritious clover, timothy, and other grasses, while the succulent grasses upon which his herds feed nine months in the year fattens his beeves for market and causes his milk cows to produce butter and milk, the quality and quantity of which are unexcelled the country around. The fence corners- and waste places will grow enough sun flowers to feed his poultry the year round; the bees from his apiary will furnish the finest of honey for his table Then add to all these things a climate that rarely ever reaches the freezing point in the winter, and never , the excessively hot point in summer, and" one can well ask, "What more can a man want?" I Again we say it is true that 'there are no.t nor never will be great 'and vast' fields of grain in our country, not because grain will not grow and ripen here, but because the topography of the country forbids it. the cultivatable bodies of land in the county are small, but they are so numerous that the aggregate is quite large. The sraallncss of these bodies of agricultural land are set down as diawbaeks frequently by the newcomer,- when in fact It is simply blessing in disguise, It prohibits the "big farmer" who has suffered so sevetely in the east. The result of these small bodies of land is small houiesj The county will be more densely populated, more highly cultivated, and will be filled with a happy, prosperous and self-supporting people. The man who is living on his own home, and off the garden thereof he gets his vegetables, off of the orchard he gets his fruits of all kinds, his pork from off the clover field, his milk and butter and his beef from his pastures, his honey from his own bees, fish from the adjacent rivers and creeks, his fuel from his timber, wool for his clothing from his flocks that roam the hillsides, is certainly the most independent person on earth. This is no over drawn picture, for within two nilic.s of Toledo tlieie is a man who enjoys all these blessings. Is not a country where a man can" do all these things an ideal place for a home? The fight that is being made against the re-election of Scuntor Dolph is very unfair. . Dolph put his money into the last campaign, very freely, and he certainly con tributed with but one end in view. It looks like a man generally ought to have a thing after he has bought and paid foi it Among the first presidential nom inations sent to the senate for its confirmation was the nomination of Hon. J. W. Ball, for collector for the port of Yaquina. In the annual reports of the agents of the several Indian reservations of the United States there seems to be an universal cry set up against vio lation of the sanctity of the marriage vows. This wrong seems to exist to such extent on nearly every reser vation, that the agents deem it 1 s . f ti,A' necessary 10 meuwuu il u. principal stumbling blocks to civil- ization. This evil must be re- formed, and when reformed, one of the ereatest steps toward civiliza tion of the Indians will have been attained. At last Astoria has the contract signed for the construction of a rail road from that city to a trans-conli- nental connection. This is glorious news not only for the long-waiting an:. long-suCring pecpls of Astoria, but for the whole of Oregon's popu lation. The building of this road will give a .wonderful stimulus to the development and' prosperity of all the Oregon coast country, and it will open the way for other railroads . All the big lines will have to get to salt water. This will prove a great impetus to railroad development in Oregon and to the growtli of the state! Ex. The public lands disposed of dur ing the year, by cash sales, miscel laneous entries and selections of all kinds amounted to 10,377,224.72 aeres. In addition to this, 28,876.- 0.5 acres 01 Indian lauds were dis posed of, making an aggregate of 10,406,100.77 acres. The com missioner of the general land office approximates the vacant public lands remaining at 606,040,313.71 acres. . This does not include Alaska (which contains over 360,- 0001,000 acres,) military aud other reservations, or railroad aud other selections yet unadjudicated, parts of which may in the future, by sale or restoration, be added to the public domain. The total cash receipts from the disposal of public lands amounted to . $2,774,285.79; $91 ,981 .03 were received for Indian lands. The appropriation for the last fiscal year for the survey and xesurvey of public lands was $200,000. Of this, $30,000 was authorized to be applied to the examination of sufveys in the field. The balance the commissioner has apportioned. Oregon receives $11,000, Washington $24,000, and Idaho $17,000. The attempt of the Oregonian to lraw the party lines so tightly on the silver question ns to read every silver advocate oui of the republican party is going to prove somewhat if a stupenduous task. When one casts his eye over the republican ranks of Oregon he sees many silver men among them. And nnother remarkable thing about them, and one which the Oregonian Las probably not considered, and that is that the silver men in the republican party are the ones which lear the brunt of battle; the ones that are.found going up and down the statu battling for the tenets of their party, and are the ones that are particularly popular with the rank and file of the party. It stupidity personified in the Ore jjon-an to attempt to read such men as Senator John H. Mitchell, Hon. Bin ;er Hermann. Gov. W. P. Loid, Charley Fulton, John C. Lerjsute, Thos. Tongue, and a sco re of other bright and brave re pu'jlicails out of the party, and sub sti tute such old mossbacks as H. V.. Corbett, and the other gold bug I flukers of his ilk in their place, 'looking nt it from . party stand point, it would be beueficial to the 'democrats to sec thf fight in the republican ranks continue. But on the other hand we have the welfare of the state at heart. It would be a serious blow to the interests of the sta:e siiould the re publican party, which is the dominant party in the state array itself further against the coinage and use of silver, lrenidy has 'he state suffered severely lh rough the contraction of its circulating medium, and a further contraction f by the discontinued use of silver ( would be disastrous indeed,. A 1,100 pound norse was sow at auction by the chief of police this afternoon, and brought the sum of one dollar and no more. The horse has been in the city pound for five days and the bill for his feed was $2.50, in which sum the city is duly "horsed." Barber Taylor was the purchaser, and as he can't use him in his business of scraping faces, it is not certain that he is not also "horsed." Times. The annual report of the secretary nf agriculture shows that ixreat -0 Britain paid during the year 1893 for 'American breadstuffs, provis- ions, cotton anowuu, v 000,000. including aDouipiu.wu, oco worth of mineral oils with agri cultural exports, the United King - 1 ! 1 t dom took 54.31 per cent of all bread- stuffs, povisions, mineral oils, cot ton and tobacco. Of dressed beet Great Britan took during the first six months of the year of 1894, $8, 000,000 worth. One joint school district in Lob ster valley is made up territory from three counties, Benton, Lane and Lincoln and the people of that sec tion residing in the two latter coun ties are anxious to annex themselves to Benton. They are a community to themselves shut off from the out side world by mountain barriers, and it would be convenient for them to be united under one county gov ernment. Corvallis is the most con venient county seat for this section, arid as it would only require only a short strip two miles wide off Lane county and a small piece of territory from Lincoln to make them one people, they will probably petition the legislature for a change in the county lines.
