The permanent county seat location will be finally determined at the reealar June election in 1896. The act creating the County provides that the candidate for the county re ceiving a majority of all the votes cast shall be the permanent county seat. At the regular election in June, 1HU, there were four candi dates in the tield for permanent county seat, and noplace received a majority vote, hence there was no election. At the next election the two iKjittts receiving the highest vote at last election will be the only Candidates, and therefore a decision will be assured. The two contesting points will be Toledo and West Ya- quina. There are four bays within the limits of Tin. coin County, all abounding in tish of all kinds. Salmon river, or bay caters the ocean near the northern boundary of the county. Along this stream are line tide lands and rich bottom lands, soon to be opened to settlement. f-even miles south of salmon river the Sllctn river, or bay empties its sparkling: w aters inti in t-ontn ot .Newport ten miles Is the Seal Hocks Summer Resort, owned by James Brasileld. Here are loca fed good hotels, tine grounds and many neat summer cottages. tin .isea bay are located two nice little villages, one on the north side and one on the south. dood hotels and stores are found In either town. At Waldixirt on the south side Is a good sawmill, now engaged In rawing lumber lortnesan j-rnncist'o market. On the north side are located the salmon canneries where annually arc canned and shipped from five to ten thousand cases of salmon of tine grade. The Alsea Hay Is navigable for steam crafts for twelve miles. This part of the County Is rich In lumber, both lir and cedar, and is the ideal dairying country. The Alsea harbor although it remains today without ever having had dollaruf money spent on it, Is a better harbor than many other harbors on the const. Coast ing steamers enter and depart regularly with out a tug or pi ct. Cranberries raised ou the Alsea marshos by Mr. J, 0.

The siletz two stores, a blacksmith shop and postoftlce, and beinirthe center of h lnr, rnrminv u..-o.. river uwul. ill and m-ir ht summit of the Coast enjoys a good trade. Thousands of bushels of potatoes and u.ar.y bushel "f flue apples are shlpiwd annually to San Francisco. TOLEDO, tho temporary County- eat, is well located 12 miles above the mouth of tho Hay, on the Hue of theO. 1. 11. K., and nearly In the ccntor of the County-, drawing the linos to the compass. Toledo enjoys tho undivided trade of the Hilcta Indian Heservation. It is the center of the famous tide-land belt, and will hold her range of mountains In I'olk county nnd runs nearly all the way through the rich valley of theSlletj, now an Indian reservation, soon to be thrown open to settlement. Twenty miles south of the Sllota Hay the now famous Yaqulna Hay mingles her eo;nmerec laden waters with the old rat-lilt. Yaqnina Hay proper is about H miles long, but is navig able for small crafts for thirty n-.ilos front tho mouth. There are many tributaries emptin;? I own by reason of her splendid location. Toledo into the Yaqulna, and many fine farms dot tho valleys and hill sides. Eight miles above New port are large bodies of rich tide lands extend ing on up the Hay for six or soven miles, many acres of which arc being dyked, reclaimed and cultivated, and when once cultivated are said to bo tho richest lauds In the world, the soli In many places bclr.g sixty feet deep. The lands are admirably adapted to raising all kinds of beets, roots, mangel wurzels, etc., and partlcn larly to the culture of sugar beets. The anal ysis of beets raised on tho tlde-lnnd near Tole do showed in per cent of saccharine matter, be ing the highest percentage obtained In the state. Leaving tho tide-lands .ami fur ten miles on up the Hay, or now tho Yaqulna river, are large sandy bottoms in and around Elk City, the gist'-' den spot of tho county. Above Elk City and on up the Yaqulna river and alon t e line of th 0. I. railroad are line bottom lands, on these bottom lands fruit of all kinds do romarkaol;' well. Several hop yards have been planted nu those bottom lands and the result has been very satisfactory. Hop culture promises to he qno of the prosperous and profitable Industrie!: of the county at an early date. At Nashville, near the east line of the county, are. largo 'or chards f prtinos, apples and pears, showing that fruit will do wtll even so near tho summit of the Coast range. Eighteen miles below Yaqulna Hay tho Alsen river and Hay empties into the 1'aclllc ocean. The Hay is of a considerable size, anil the en trance Is doop enough to permit coasting ves sels to enter and carry away the produetsof the fertile valley of the Alsea river. The country contiguous to tho Alsea river resembles that of thc'Yaquina very much. It is settled with In dustrious, and thiifty people, and promises to develop rapidly Its latent resources. Tie Dairying Industry. Liucoln county is admirably adapted for. dairying. With our mild climate, where snow never lies on the ground to exceed one day; cool nights and abundance of puro spring wa ter, It Is an ideal dairying country.

Clover Is naturally adapted to this country, growing on the high est hills or the lowest bottoms, wherever the seed is scattered. Frequently our farmers cut two crops of clover from their meadows in one year, and have been known to cut three. Silos can'be built and three crops can be obtain ed annually for ensilage. Stops have been tak en to establish a creamery plant at Toledo, and there Is but littlo doubt but that a creamery will be In successful operation here at an early date. With the crcamory business once estab lished at some place within the county, the in dustry will rapidly develop. It Is adtoltted In alt ntarkeu that butter and cheese produced from the milk of cows that graze upon the suc-e'-.'.o:' tt" - ; " oi-r country execls that oi any other rcbioo. Tho day is not far distant when the dairying resources of our surrounding country will be a source of large annual income to our people. Timber, Coal ant! (iranltc. Commencing three miles north of Toledo atid extending on through Lincoln county is the fa mous green belt of tlr, spruce, hemlock, larch and cedar timber, only awaiting capital and enterprise to manufacture It Into lumber and place It on the markets of the World. Two and one-half miles from Toledo, on the headwaters of ICot Slough are the richest un developed coal mine In the state of Oregon. A local company have thoroughly pros)ected this coal belt, and numerous assays have been made, the last by California experts, who pronounced It as being the only coal on the Coast suitable for steel works. North and east of Toledo are located granite mines In unlimited quantities equal In quality to the Maine and Vermont granite, with water power on the premises tutllclent to run all machinery necesary to furnish rock for build ing and monuments. Tewns and Tillages. YAtJl'IXA CITY Is the terminus of the Oregon Pacific railrcad. It has two hotels, three stores, a church and a school bouse. An academy tuts recently been instituted there, and promises to be a successful institution of learning. A con siderable volume of business Is transacted at Yaqulna City. At this place are tho wharves end warehouses which are usd by the ocean sttamers. two of whic h ply regularly between that jKtrt and San Francisco. The town-ite Is owned by the railroad eompany and has never been placed on the market. WEST YAYUINA Is across the Hay from Ya qulna City and is rcll located on deep water. It will make a good town as it will enjoy a part of the trade from the south end of the county in the near future. XEWl'OKT, "Down by the Bea," Is the largest town on the Bay. It has a poj.nlat'on of 100 has one first-class hotel, four good general merchandise stores, one drug store, two weekly newspapers, one steam saw-mill, blacksmith shop, a line large public school building, two churches, and other minor businesses. IMONKEIt, or MoltltlSOX, Is a station on tho O. I'. It. R., about three miles from Elk City. At this place Is located the famous Pioneer Sandstone quarry. The produetsof this quarry is becommlng justly celebrated all over the coast. Asa building stone it is unexcelled. Largo quitntitlos of It are being ship",, J ( San Francisco whore It is used in the com . ; k'on ofs intc of tho mammoth buildings of tin . city. The quarry employs a largo number of mau and is building up a largo industry. On up the railroad are the stations of Chit wood, Eddyville and Little Elk, all of them trading points of some Importance. The Sllets Heservation. In the north part of thecounty lies the famous Siletz Indian reservation, now soon to lie thrown open for settlement. This reservation Is among the last of the Indian lands tn be oiened to the whites, and oilers about the last opportunity the prospective settlor will have In securing a hpme from Cnule Sam. The Indians having been allotted their lands and one hundred and eighty thousand acres remaining which will be turned back to the general government and be homesteaded and taken under the timber act. The Siletz river Is navigable for twenty-live miles up from its mouth for all classes of river boats. Along the river on either sido for three miles inland arc large bodies of rich tide land, and for the next twonty miles large Bandy bot toms extend from the rivers edge, varying In width from two hundred yards to a quarter of a mile. This territory has never been visited by a Ore and there are millions of feet of fine fir, larch and cedar timber. Large deposits of coal are known to exist, tho quality of which Is the same as that of the magnificent Iieiot slough coal. On this reservation can be found wine of tho best agricultural and grazing land on the coast.' All the preliminary work look ing to the owning of the reservation has beon -.

An Accident That lSefcll the Protector While Driving In Hyde Park. C. H. Firth, in an article on Oliver STATE. ' Cromweirs association with horses, says in iuauuiiiiun a juag.q7.1uo: . "As Cromwell rose in power and ratife his love of horses began to be more cou spicnous. When he started from Lon don in 10-19 to rooonqner Ireland, ho went forth in that statt r.ud eqnipage nf tne lite nath hardly been seen himself in a coach with six gallant Flanders mares, reddish gray." In 1655, when the Spanish embassador took his leave of tho lord protector,. Cromwell sent bini "his own coach of six white horses"! to convey him to anil frorr. Whitehall. "Certain It is," adds fiio narrator, "that none of the English kings had ever any such. " The protector was not much of a whip, however. In 1654 tho Conut of Oldenburg sent Cromwell a present of six horses, and the protector's anxiety to mako trial of their quality lod to his well known advonturo in Hydo park. On Friday, Sept. 29, ha went with Seo retnry Thurloe and some of his gentle men to take air in the park, ordered the six horses to be harnessed to his coacb, put Thurloe inside of it and undertook to drive himself. "HU highuoss, " said a letter from the Dutch embassador, "drove pretty handsomoly for some time, but at last, provoking those horses too much with the whip, tlioy grew un ruly, whereby his highness was flung ont of the coach box npon the gronnd. Eis foot getting hold in the tackling, he was carried away a good whilo in that postnre, but at last he got his foot clear, and so came to escape He was presently brought home, and lot blood, and after somo rest taken is now well again.,. The secretary, being hurt on his auklo with leaping out of tho ooaeh, hath been forced to keep his ehambor hitherto and been unfit for any busi ness. " ' The royalist Scroggs, afterward chief Justico, writing of this incident, hoped that the noxt fall would bo from a cart hinting at tho gallows. As to Crom well's viows on the burning question of horse racing, it is diflioult to arrivo at a positive conclusion. His constant aim was to possess as many good horses as he could afford. Whether ho entered bis horses for racos or had tho satisfac tion of owning a winner history does not say. THE SASSirrv TOUT. HIS COLLATERAL GOOD. Bow Tom Fitch of Nevada Used to "Raise the Wind." Torn Fitch of Nevada was a bright fellow and ono of tho best writors and stump speakers of tho west, but ho was thriftless, and when ho got hard up wonld resort to almost any moans to got a stako. One day ho wrote a soathing speech denouncing Sharon, then president of the Bank of California and afterward United States sonator from Nevada. In it he oharged Sharon with almost every crimo known to tho docaloguo or the statutes.' Ho put the manuscript in a largo envelope and walked into the Bank of California. "Hern, " he said to the cashier, hand ing the package through tho window, "here are some securities which I offor as collateral on a loan. Plcaso hand thorn to Mr. Sharon in porBon, and I will wait for bis answer. " Mr. Sharon was In his privato ofiloo. Breaking tho seal of tho onvolopo, he found the speech and read it through, togother with a noto from Fitch, in forming him that unless he was paid f 5,000 he wonld deliver that speech in every town in the state. In a few min utes the cashier, on Mr. Sharon's order, reported that tho collateral was all right and paid the happy Fitch tho de sired amount Three months afterward, having gone through the money in speculation and rr!-ri..r, rr.. wtoM, wit Mt rnt-r- ...... ,,.... j i. t, i i..;. i; a very complimentary cuaraeter, which he promised to deliver at over conven ient opportunity, for the same amount.
