The Post informed its readers last week that the sawmill at this place would soon.start up and run indefinitely. Mr, Krogstad states that this is news to him, and he runs the milk Mr. Stilwell, one of the teachers at the reservation school, was over last Friday to meet his wife and children who came out from North Dakota. They arrived safely on time and were taken to the Agency on Saturday. ' Jas. Plumlee writes back from .Walnut, Missouri, that he and Mr. Wagner got through safely-j but at the time of writing it was storming and the thermometer registered 16 degrees below zero, so . that the 'weather was not very enjoyable. W. G. Cressy has the honor of being the first man to deposit filthy lucre in the shape of U. S. legal tender with the sheriff to apply on I894 taxes. At the time of paying Sheriff Laudis could not issue him a regular receipt, but Mr, Cressy paid it and took a private receipt. We congratulate our young friend George McCluskey over his appointment to a scholarship in the Corvallis ' agricultural college. George has proven himself to be a studious and bright scholar in our schools here and we feel certain that he will fully appreciate his en larged opportunities and apply him self accordingly Representative Daly has secured the passage through the house of his lieu school land bill. This bill provides for the appointment of a state agent to select lands for the state in lieu of the 16th and 36th sections that have been taken by the government. For his services uie agent snail receive not more than $i,soo per year and actual traveling expenses. All lieu lands are to be withdrawn from the mar ket for two years. No land is to be sold for less than $2.50 per acre The sales are to be made under the direction of the board of school land commissioners, and are to be sold foi the best price obtainable.' A hard fight was made on the bill in the house lobby. The fate of the bill in the senate is uncertain. , at Iniroe, a t'vortb, of liome on was a vtw- informs us it a. letter from an who bought here, and he ouse near the mill jfectsto be here-at n of the steamer Al- i. .Vch eame into the Bav 'Jr, reported finding 24 feet jtr on tne bar, and tne tide not yet full. This would indi cate that the Yaquina harbor Is a pretty good harbor after all. ; - Mrs. Ben Tracy was on the train Newport bound last Tuesday even ing. She stated that they were moving back to Lincoln county from Marion . Mr. Tracy is cotnio g overland with the stock. : We are glad to see Mr. Tracy and his family moving back to our county. Theodore Von Schueitzlien and Miss Emma Zink were married' at Corvallis the other day. There is nothing peculiar about this, except that the bride is the same' lady that was to figure as a bride about a year and a half ago at Little Elk, in this county, but who flew the track, so. to speak, after the license was procured and the justice of the peace hired. : Prof, and Mrs. George Bethers gave a social party at their residence Wednesday evening, for' the enter tamment of a few of the' Professor's pupils. The evening was spent in playing charades, music, etc., until 10 o'clock, when a Bumptious and delightful lunch was served. Among those present were, Misses Maud Rader, ! Bertha Plumkett, Effie Crosno, Belle Butler, Sada and Anna Chambers, Olive Logan, Minnie Smith and Ruth Gaither Messrs. Geo. McCluskey, Joe Ewing Chas. Collins, Aden Crosno, Fred Chambers, Chas. Miller, Harry Fant and Robt. Collins. Allen- joyed themselves highly with the evening spent with 'their teacher and his estimable wife. Our friend P. N Lathrop in tow ing the section of the Elk City bridge back to place met wun a chapter of accidents - that would cause a man to deny his own fire side. He started bravely out of Depot slough and got out in the river and anchored and waited for the tide to turn. The tide turned in the night and Mr. Lathrop sculled manfully, but imagine his surprise when daylight come and he found that he had pulled back into the same slough he started from. Space absolutely forbids giving in detail all his mishaps. We have not room to tell how he got stuck on a sand bar, blovved in to the brush, fell off into the river, tried for two hours to tow the thing with the anchor out, and the wor t of all got his dog in a trap. It is sufficient to say that he persevered and got the thing back to its place. but it is not safe to talk bridge to Mr. Lathrop now.
