The .opposition did not seem to be in it to any great extent. 1 The state tax levy has been made and is but three mills this year. This will make the total tax levy for Lincoln county for state, school and county purposes but 16 mills, as against nineteen and three tenths mills for last year and 22 mills for the year before. There are but two counties in the state that we have heard of that have a lower levy than Lincoln. Miss Anna Diven, of Newport, 'passed through Toledo today en route to Salem where she goes to take charge of a committee clerk ship in the legislature. Miss Anna ' is a daughter of Dr. Diven, of 'Newport, and is a bright and talented young lady. She held a clerkship in the '93 session of the legislature. Word reaches us by our private grape vine telegraph from Salem, that Capt. Bensell, of Newport, has been unanimously elected speaker of the the third house of representa tives.' The Captain is a veteran member of the third house and his selection ns speaker is a deserved recognition ot his ability, and the esteem in which he is held by the members. The case of Lincoln county ex rel Chas. Booth, county superin tendent, vs. K. L. Btyau, county superintendent of Benton county, was decided by the supreme court last week adversely to Lincoln county. This was what was com monly known as the school fund case, and its final settlement re moves the last bone 1 f legal con tention between the two counties, all other matters relating to their differences having been satisfac torily settled out of court. County Judge Burt informs us that he has been notified that there is a free scholarship for Lincoln county available at the Oregon Agricultural college at Corvallis. Any person desiring lo avail them selves of this scholarship should make their replication to Trof. Bethers, the county superintendent, who will bring their applications before the county court in the proper manner, and the choice will then be made there by the lot, Rain, rain, warm spring rain. Jack Waugh took the train for his work Monday. Locals are almost as scarce as money these times. Troy Mays came up from New port last Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Conklin have been very sick the past week.

Wm, Alexander went lo the Val ley on business the first of the week. Mrs. Prof. Rosebrooks returned to her home at Corvallis Monday after a visit at this place.

He was accompanied by his brother M. N. Stewart, who will cast his fortunes with the old Webfoot state for a time. Tillotson Brothers lost about thirty head of sheep during the high tides of last Saturday. They weie on the tideland and the water raised up over the dyke. This is rather a a hard blow on the boys. The editor hereof wishes, to re turn his sincere thanks to the many kind friends of the Leader who furnished such valuable assistance during his absence, and to also commend the boys in the office for the able manner in which they con ducted the paper. Hon. C. B. Crosno, of this place, has been elected sergeant-at-arms of the state senate. We congratu late Mr. Crosno on his success in capturing this fat plum, and feel confident that he will bring to the position all that native dignity and lofty bearing for which the Hon. C. B. Crosno Is justly noted. Jefferson, in Marion county, will send a car load of provisions to the Nebraska sufferers. Why could not Lincoln county go and do like wise. Out of her bounteous stores she could spare a car load ol pota toes, etc., which would be greatly appreciated by the recipients in poor old brought stricken Nebraska. Elk City was certainly out of luck when her bridge across the river went out. It will be remem bered the bridge wns built Inrrrolv by donations from Elk City's pub lic spirited people, the county fur nishing only the lumber and iron. The people were highly commend ed for. their enterprise in getting the bridge up, and we have not the least doubt but that they will not be contented till they get the bridge back in place, and get it this time so that it will not go out again soon. Last Saturday this Bay witnesseu the highest tide for years. Logs that had been lying on the tideland immovable for years were floating around. The water overflowed the dykes breaking them in various places, and doing much damage. Tillotson brothers lost about 30 head of sheep that were runuingon the tideland. At Elk City the out going current was so strong as to wash out the bridge. It .floated down till opposite Depot slough when the wind blew it up the slough, landing it at Jones' wharf where it was secured by Ben. Jones. This is indeed a big loss to Elk City. Miss Belle Butler is stopping at Mr. and Mrs. O. 0. Krogstad's iu this place and attending school. Dr. Diven was up from Newport last Monday, and reports several cases of the grippe through the country. Don't fool with a wasp because you think he looks weak and tired.

It did not lay on long however: After a visit to Nebraska, and a trip through the drouth stricken parts thereof, the editor of this izr is nrerared to we?? a battle o with any person who kicks on the rainfall of the great and glorious state of Oregon. It is too bad the proposition to es tablish a creamery in Albany can not be carried to a successful termi nation. Such an industry would be worth thousands of dollars to the community. Herald. Pennoyerisnovv "Ex-Governor" Wm. P.' Lord having been duly inaugerated into that office last Tuesday. The ceremonies were said to be very simple and nnosten tatious. The people of the Willamette valley dislike snow. They are not to be blamed. Give an old Web footer a green winter and plenty of moisture and he is as happy as a clam at high water mark.

The Lincoln county boys who went were Ora Copeland, Zenas Davis and Newt. Guilliams. C. W. Kerle is dyking the tide- land on his farm up Depot. Kerle is a rustler, and we are glad to see his enterprise in improving his farm in such a manner. The dyking and reclaiming the valuable bodies of land along our streams, and getting them under cultivation will be the means of making this country blos som as a rose. Last Sunday a couple of the gov ernment scows which were tied up at this place broke loose and drifted down the river.

A petition is being circulated in Pendleton which asks for a special enactment by congress granting a petition to Mrs. McKay, widow of the late Dr. V C.

If 1 1 everybody goes that is talking of it they will have a big time. The creamery committee met in a called session today and authorized Robt. Campbell to go to Portland to enter into a definite agreement with the parties who have been contemplating putting in a creamery plant at Toledo. There is but little doubt but what the creamery mat ter will come to a successful issue at an early date. Toledo will have a creamery in operation on or be fore the iotli day of April 1895. And we predict with much assur ance that it will only blaze the way for the establishing of many more creamery plants in the county. Mr. Stewart, editor of the Lin coln County Leader; was in Albany this noon on his way home from a trip to Nebraska, where he had been called by the illness and death of his mother. He reports times in western Nebraska as bad as reported . In many places people need all the assistance they are receiving, in fact more. He could not see how many farmers could possibly get the seed for sowing for next year. They are heartsick and discouraged. Mr. Stewart is more satisfied than ever with Ore gon and believes it is the garden spot of the United States. Albany Democrat. Flour and Feed.

We have a few free scholarships for orphan children SAFETY ON THE WATER. The Inspector's Department's Claim ot Efficient Work. Nearly 700,000,000 people carried on American steamers during the last fiscal year and only 255 lives lost, of whom but 90 were passengers, is the promi nent feature of the new annual report of Supervising Inspector General u mont of steam vessel inspection service. This is a smaller mortality among the game number of people, we have no ioubt, than if they had all staid at home and went regularly to bed, to say nothing of traveling by rail It proves trW rro hnro often romnrk-prl the system of inspection now enforced is the safest that could possibly be de vised. Thirty-five of the 96 passengers above referred to lost their lives in one disaster the sinking of the tugboat James I. Nicol off Sandy Hook on a Sunday in June last, and General Du mont states that this disaster was solely due to the fact that the tug was being navigated by a person wholly inexpe rienced. It is further stated in tho report that of the nearly 11,000 boilers inspeoted accidonts causing the loss of life have occurred to but 15 of them, defects in upward of 700 being detected and reme died; also that of 100,274 new life pre servers examined only 64 were found deficient. This statemont shows that as great care is. taken in the inspection of equipments to prevent disaster as in tho machinery employed to run them and the men who man them. In regard to the latter no less than 88 applicants for master's and pilot's licenses were re jected during the year on account of colorblindness, although 1,544 passed the, tosts. All of which goos to show that the traveling public and the steam vessel fraternity as well have every rea son to repose confidence in the inspec tion byoluui as at present managed. Marine Journal. DANGER IN PERFECTION. A Prince and a Baron Imitated a Stag Up to the Killing: Point. It would be difficult to find on record a stranger hunting adventure than that experienced by Prince Hohenlohe, son of the Gorman ohancellor, and Barou Vietinghoff recently. They went out together to shoot stags and agreed to decoy the animals by imitating their call on a special horn. Tho hunters separated, each accompanied by a game keeper, and went in difforeut directions. During the course of the day they np proached eaoh other, and each heard the other's decoy call and believed a stately stag was before him. Imitating the hoavy stops of the animal, they noisily drew still nearer. The imitation of the steps and call was so woll done that they finally arrived within ten paces of each other without perceiving their mistake. The thicket was so dense that they could not see through it. Both stood still, repeating tho challenge from time to time. '.Each still firmly believed that he was within a few paoes of a real Btag. At last the prince, tired of wait ing, firod thrice rapidly in the direction of the snpposod gama The first bullet glanced off the cartridge belt of Baron Vietinghoff, the second struck his watch and sprang off, the third fell dead from his pocketbook well filled with papers. The young baron, though hit three times, stood unwounded. Ho was so con vinced that not his follow hunter, but a stag, was before him that he attribut ed the shots to the explosion of car tridges in his belt and busied himself unfastening his belt for the purposo of throwing it away. The astonishment of both when thoy at last found out what had happened was great. Berlin Spe cial. COMPETING WITH CHICAGO. Norway Making Arrangements to Supply i-onaon wita Mutton.

Nevertheless the Stavanger society has come to the conclusion that the business promises to be remunerative, and the English peoplo have thus an additional Guarantee of an adequate supply of mutton. A Tyrannical Landlord. According to Mr. Labouchero in Lon don Truth, the Duke of Beaufort, one of the most tyrannous of the landlords, of England, assumes to dictate all the affairs of the town of Stoke-Gifford. ' His grace took objection to the election, of Admiral Close as a churchwarden and served notices to quit on the tenant' farmers who voted for him. The duke afterward announced that he would withdraw tho notices only on condition that the admiral resigned. In order that the farmers should not suffer, the admi ral did resign. It now appears that Ad miral Close himself was a tenant of the duke, and he also received a notice to quit his house, which has just expired. He ha practically been evicted because he was chosen churchwarden withonl ducal approval CHARLOTTE TEMPLE'S GRAVE, the Most Popular Spot In Trinity Char yard, New York.
