County Surveyor Gideon came np from Waldport Tuesday, and made a survey of the proposed Depot slough road. Quite a number of Yaquina people attended the dance and strawberry festival at this place last Friday night, coming up in the launch Clatemont. John Spencer brought over a load of fine deep sea fish from Otter Rock last Monday. The fish were mostly rock cod, sea bass and kelp, and were all nice fish. Chas.

Dr. Carter was down from Elk City last Saturday making a physi cal examination of some Toledo people who were taking out life insurance policies in a company represented by the rustling agent Ira Miller. Tuesday was pay day at the Elk City quarry, the first one they have had since the work started. There nrose a misunderstanding about the wages the men who had quit were to receive, and also about their time, thgre were rumors of war for n time, but the matter was finally peacefully settled. We are in receipt of a very inter esting letter from Robt. Depoe, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, which we would be mast happy to publish, was it not for the praise he gives the Lkadkr in it. Mr. Depoe is a full blood Indian and i;- attending school at Carlisle. To judge from the tone and character of his letter, lucation is doing a grand work for i.im. I lie freight train going down to Yaquina last night was one of the vilest that ever went over the uii 1. When it passed through T. 'uiu it had 39 loaded cars. They had to double over the sub mit. This is a pretty good indica tion of the amount of business done by the O. C. & E.

Stearns, of Alsea Bay, was up to Toledo Monday on business in connection with the Peter Eckman estate. He informs us that there have been some very interesting and lively times down on the Alsea recently. Siletz will celebrate the glorious Fourth of July in due patriotic style this year. Already committees have been named, and a good-sized sum of money has been already raised to defray the expenses of the occasion. the Siletz people al ways have a good time when they start in 011 it. A car load of chiltim bark was shipped by C. C. McBride, the Little Elk merchant, to San Fran cisco last week. lue gathering ana sale ot this bank is getting to be considerable of an industry in this county, several tons being aiv uuany snipped, it nets tne pro ducer about 2', cents per pound. We are under obligations to Wed Stanton for a nice mess of trout, caught from the Siletz river Mr. Stanton is living at the upper farm on the Siletz, and the river at that place is unexcelled for trout fishing. The trout 011 the riffles ato now taking the fly bait in fine shape. Mr. and Mrs. Stanton are prepared to keep parties that come to that part of the county for pleasure, having sonic very com fortable looms in their house for that purpose. Last Friday evening a lady giving her name as Smith, arrived on the train from Albany, and hunting up Sheriff Land is and Marshal Hall, sought their assistance in the re covery of her fourteen-year-old daughter, which she claimed had been enticed away from Albany by Mrs. Fred Baker, a woman quite well k'iow!i on t'ie Biy. Mrs. Baker and her sister in company with the girl sought after came from Albany in a wagon driven by a mau whose name we did not learn. They had been in Toledo that day, and had started for New port. Sheriff Landis started out after train time to overhaul them, and came upon them camping in the edge of Newport. He took the girl in custody and took her to a hotel, bringing her up on the train next morning, where she was met by her mother and taken back to Albany. The girl stated that she had been well treated, and evidently did not realize the position she was in. She was the daughter of poor pavc-.its living on a farm near Albany, and had been working in a restaurant at that place until she was brought over here. No ar rests were made, the mother being satisfied to get her girl back. A. couple of mighty hunters from this place went over to Otter Rock last Tuesday to kill a bear that had been making trouble over there. They started early and got to the hunting ground about ten o'clock. Tying their horse in good grass and taking their guns went forth to the slaughter. Finding a trail which the bear had used much, they hid themselves in the brush to wait till Bruin came along. But alas, the day was warm, the road had been long, the shade waS pleasant, and in less than four minutes after hid ing 60th hunters were sound asleep and snoring loud enough to scare iiway all but the boldest of the game. The pangs of hunger awoke them about two o'clock and they proceeded to the lunch basket, but the bear had been thcie whilst they TTnn T Tf V.'pnttirf ir1 il!1 , ..

The strawberry festival and dance given under the auspices of the Rebekah lodge last Thursday night was a 'very enjoyable and successful affair. The proceeds netted about $15, which will go quite a ways to help purchase the set of handsome regalias the Rebekahs are getting. Excursion rates have been put on the S. P. and the O. C. & E. and summer travel has alieady set in to the seaside. This season promises to be the best season Newport has ever had. The many attractions of Newport and vicinity will make it the most popular sea side resort on the coast when other conditions become equal. O. Nelson, the supervisor of the Yaquina road district, is having quite a time with a good many of the men in his district to get them to work the roads. Mr. Nelson says that they wont work, but some of the men say that they are willing to work or pay, if they are given the least say so in the matter. We guess there is no doubt but that Mr. Nelsou fully feels the honor of his high position. Dr. Wakefield, of Little Elk, was in town last night, coming up from Newport ' and Cape Foulweather, where he had been looking the country over. He informs us that there are a great many new settlers coming into the Little and Big Elk countries, some of them buying land and some of them taking government land. The Doctor has already sold two or three pieces of land to new settlers, and has one or two more sales on the tap, and don't claim to be much of a real estate agent either. A criminal case occuired in 'Squire Grant's court at Siletz last Friday. The case was one against Tom Matches charged with beating and pounding his mother-in-law. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Carson went over and represented snd upheld the dignity of the great ,'itate of Oregon in the prosecution. Attorney Scott Lane appeared for the defense and made a good show ing. After a hard fought battle the state came off victorious and the defendant was fined $5 and costs, amounting in all to about $20. News of an assault with a deadly weapon, an arrest, and a combina tion of peculiar circumstances in the justice court, comes to us from Alsea. The account of the affair, as related to us, is as follows: On the 10th inst. B. F. Loveall and Chris. Hansen were working roads on the Yahats. A difficulty arose over some matter and Loveall at tacked Hansen with an ax, strik ing a couple of blows on the head. This precipitated a general fracas, and picks, shovels and axes were in demand for a few minutes. Af ter the smoke of battle had cleared away it was found that Hansen had a couple of scalp wounds of not very serious nature. Hausei went to Waldport and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Loveall. He was arrested and taken before 'Sauire Ruble on the 10, and at the prison er's request the examination was continued till 2 o'clock p. m. on the 14, and the prisoner was placed in charge of Constable Monroe un til trial day. betcre that time ar-' rived, however, the prisoner went before 'Squire Bowers, of Beaver creek precinct precinct and had a preliminary he.iring for the same that he and several others were coming to Lincoln county lo inves tigate the reported undeveloped re sources of this county, and especial ly the Siletz country, with a view ot building up a lumber iudustry Cliittim pealing is becoming quite a business. C. C. McBride is mak ing large shipments on each steam er. He pays 2 cents per pound, and realizes from 22 to 3 cents for it in San Francisco. John Hewitt has leased a section of railroad laud fiom the land com pany's a;rent in Portland and will use it mostly for pasture. He has posted notices forbidding trespass ing thereon. This has caused some of the chitlim peelers to be indig nant and are making serious threats but John says he does not fear any bodily harm, as it will require a foot-racer to catch him to inflict an y very serious damage. Never-lhe-less he says the law governing tres passing will be enforced unless dep redations are discontinued. Mr. E. D. Young has purchased quite a number of hogs and expects to make hog-raising the most im portant part of his business in the near future. ine u. L. c , bridge gang is now at work on bridge No. 36, just east of this place. The repairs, though temporary, will make quite a substantial structure for several years. Sheep shearing lias commenced and most ranchmen report more than the average clip this year. Eleven cents per pound is the high est price offered yet. We beleive that most of our citi zens will celebrate the 4th at New port this year. CORRIiSPONPENT. Tide tenter Xotes. We are having fine weather here at rrcsenr, nrd onr farxc" re rh ing advantage of it to get their hay cut. present Times are good here arpn with plenty of work. J. A. Wilson is putting in logs for Harrisou Brothers, of Waldport. He has three men at work, and the ring of the woodman's ax may be heard early and late. Our young people meet at the school house every Sunday where a short time is spent in singing under the leadership of Mr. Otto Thissell and Miss Allie Mulkey. Tidewater promises lots of im provement this summer. Our con stable and justice have been fortun ate in securing the services of an able "architect" from Corvallis, who has just finished plans and specifications for a couple of fine dwellings to be erected this sum mer. The wonder is, who will reign as queens of them. 'Squire Wilson has just returned from a visit to Toledo, and reports himself well pleased with that thriv ing city. As more news arrives ward it.
