What Lincoln County Offers.
"
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-

' 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

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.

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. Times.
