Lane, on the west by the Pacific ocean, and on

has a coast line of fifty wiles and an area of
1,-UO square miles, and a population of about
3,000 inhabitants. The temporary county seat
Toledo. The permanent county seat location
will be finally determined at the malar June
election in 1896. The act creating the County
provides that the candidate for the county re

the permanent county seat. At the regular
election in June, 1894, there were four candi
dates in the field for permanent county seat,
and no place received amajority vote, hence
there was no election. At the next el c ion
the two points 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

large scope of country and ailbrds the largest
oltime of fresh water of any river in the coun
ty, having many feeders. For this reason it is
said that more salmon enter it than both the
Alsea and the Yaquina combined. The Silets
river heads In and near the summit of the Coast
range of mountains in Polk county and runs
nearly all the way through the rich valley of
theSlletz, now an Indian reservation, soon to
be thrown open to settlement.
Twenty miles south of the Slletz Bay the now-
famous Yaquina Bay mingles her commerce-
laden waters with the old Pacific. Yaquina
Bay proper Is about 14 miles long, but is navig
able for small crafts for thirty miles from the
mouth. There are many tributaries emptying
into the Yaquina, and many tine farms dot the
valleys and hill sides. Eight miles above New
port are large bodies of rich tide lands extend
ing on up the Bay for six or seven miles, many
acres of which are being dyked, reclaimed and
cultivated, and when once cultivated are said
to be the richest lands In the world, the soil in
many places being sixty feet deep. The lands
are admirably adapted to raising all kinds of
beets, roots, mangel wurzels, etc., and particu
larly to the culture of sugar beets. The anal
ysis of beets raised on the tide-land near Tole
do showed 1C per cent of saccharine matter, be
ing the highest percentage obtained in the
state.
Leaving the tide-lands and for ten miles on
up the Bay, or now the Yaquina river, are large
sandy bottoms In and around Klk City, the gar
den spot of the county. Above Elk City and on
up the Yaquina river and alon t e line of the
O. P. railroad are line bottom lands. Ou these
bottom lands fruit of all kinds do remarkably
well. Several hop yards have been planted
on these bottom lands and tho result has been
very satisfactory. Hop culture promises toi
one of the prosperous and profitable Industries
ot the county at an early date. At Nashville,
near the east line of the county, are large or
ohardspf prunes, apples and pears, showing
that fruit will no w en even so near tne summit
of the Coast range.
Eighteen miles below Yaquina Bay the Alsea
river and Bay empties into the Pacific ocean.
The Bay is of a considerable size, and the en

miles Inland are large bodies of rich tide land,
and for the next twenty miles large sandy bot
ttipis extend from the rivers edge, varying In
w Idth from two hundred yards to a quarter of
a. mile. This territory has never been visited
by a fire and there are millions of feet of fine

coal are known to exist, the quality of which is
the same as that of the magnificent Depot

some of the best agricultural and grazing land

done, and It is only awaiting1 the President's
proclamation announcing it open for settle

Terms reasonable. Inquire of
R. F. Baker,
Newport, Ore.
It now transpires that Pennoyer
issued twenty-two pardons and
commutations to inmates of the ...
penitentiary after he made his
famous order excluding reporters,
and the public generally from . the .
records in such cases. Many of . .
the commutations were made to ,
take effect after his successor had
taken charge of the office. This
was most brazen effrontry, inas
much as it was equivalent to saying ,
that his successor was not qualified
to pass intelligently upon the matt
ter. But this phase of itl.e;.aflair..;.
was the least pernicious. The .
worst part was the trampling down -.
of the decision of law aud setting
aside the sentences of judges, and
turning loose upon the state a horde '
of criminals whom the courts had . '
been to great expense and troubled
to convict. There is no assertion I
that these sentences were unjust
beoause the parlies were convicted. -It
is peculiar that the rapist were
not left out of. these commuted-:
criminals.
A, '
, Some have misconstrued the idea -
of the 'LeAder, last week in refer-
ence to the county money in the 'j
hands of the defunct Hamilton, Job
& Co. bank. We believe that the '
officers and their bondsmen should-
have beeu held ' primarily for the "
money deposited in the banks.'
There was no business sense in the
county at that time looking else
where for the county money. But
this was not done. The county "
court took ir outf of their hands and .',
assumed the burden of the same,
aud started a suit for the recovery
of the same. "' We don't believe
that the county can now in the
face of these acts of its court recover
from these bondsmen, Already
much money has been expended in
useless court and attorney fees, and
we don't believe that the county
would be justified in pursuing the
case further in the courts. A.11
these court, and at.torne fees must
be pajd by faxes wrung from our.
people, and we hejieve that enough.
money nas gone m tqat direction.
We will admit that the county has
been wronged out of the money,
and that officers aud their bondsmen
should have been held strictly
responsible for the funds in their
hands. The only thing about ii is
that it is cheaper for the county to
lose the money entirely than to
bear the expense of a heavy suit
against the bonds of the sheriff and
bondsmen with a great probability
of getting beat, It is simply an
experience lesson of $1,380.29, and
should learn the county in the
future that official bonds are made
for the protection of the county,
and act accordingly.
The war cloud on theborizen be
tween Great Britain and ?'lrara"
