Toledo. 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.

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

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

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

fording annual grazing and riduclng the cost .
of feeding to a minimum. 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:'

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

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.

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

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.

HIS COLLATERAL GOOD.
Bow Tom Fitch of Nevada Used to "Raise

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

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

he promised to deliver at over conven

That, too, proved good collateral, and

drunken franknoss, told it himself.
