A couple of weeks age the
Leader stated that the Rebekahs
Lodge to be organized here would
be the first on the Bay. We learn
since then that this is a mistake,
that . there was once a Rebekahs
Lodge at Newport, but was allowed
to go down. .

Thomas Drew. '

council of Newport appropriated
$50 t'o send Dr. Bayley to Salem to
get a memorial from the legislature
concerning the improvement of
Vaquina Bay, and that he failed to
get the memorial but did get him
self appointed health officer of
Vaquina Day. Just how true the
' .story is we do not know, but give
it for what it is worth;

laws over that part of the county
In no other way could the county
expect to obtain the taxes from the
trust deed Indian lands on the
reservation. It is optional with
the Indian Department whether or
not they pay these taxes, and it is
their settled policy not to pay them
unless the Indians in return get the
bertOHt of the state laws.

. Assessor T. E. Tarker wishes us
to say that the rumor that has been
spread abroad in the county that he
was in Salem wot king to get his

in fact. He states that his business

the assessors of the state and not
for himself individually. He fur
says that when the committee

The commodity report of the 0

more freight billed .out of. .Toledo

Mr. Ed. Stone, the representati ve

hoped that this is true, and that
active work will begin on the road
at an early date.
O. Nelson had the misfortune to

very heavy on Mr. Melson, who is

B. F. Jones returned fiom Salem
anil l'ortlaud last Thursday. He
spent some time at Salem and saw
ine woncieriul antics of the great
reform legislature that is just wind
ing up its course. He states that
feeling runs very high at Salem,
and it is his opinion that there will
be no election this session. Mr.
Jones also conversed with Senator
Maxwell, of Tillamook county on
the subject of creameries and gained
much luformation that is of value.
He made a special trip to Portland
to look up creamery matters. He
feels much eucouragment over the
results of his investigations and be

alone, but by financial help as fur
as it was able. This was but right,
however, and will ' continue to be
the policy of the paper in the

The Leader expects to shape
its future course by the' past, It
will work unceasingly for the in
terests of Lincoln county without
regard to locality, believing that in
the. development of the county we
will all be. benefitted. ; Thanking
the people for past patrouage and

Considerable complaint has beeu
made about the practice of many of
the settlers along the Yaquina and
Big Elk of cutting and throwing
brush and other debrii into the
river. The effect of this is to
blockade the streams and to cause
bars to form in the channels at
various places. The following sec
tion of the .Federal law recently
enacted will be of interest to all
parties:
"Section 6 That it shall uot be
lawful to place, discharge or deposit,
by any process or 111 any manner,

mud, sand, dredging, sludge, acid.
