Parker returned to Walla Walla yesterday, after spending the. 4th at the Sulphur springs. Col. John Kelsay returned to Corvallis Sunday. H. J. Tower, of Albany, is stop ping at the Elk City Hotel. Capt. Clark has the boat fixed now so it will make the proper time, and will commence the regular run from Elk City to the lower Bay daily leaving Elk mornings. Work on the bridge still con tinues, and will be a good structure when finished. Campers are making their ap pearance for the summer. Mrs. Bennet and family and Mr. and Mr. Hofer, of Portland, came over last Thursday for the summer vacation. Fourth at the Sulphur Springs was a grand success. People came from all ways. Deputy U. S. Marshal Col. Parker was officer of the day. Hubert Derrick read the Declaration of Independence, and Col. Kelsay delivered us an old fashioned July oration. Colonel is well posted on the history of our nation, and reminded us of many facts of how we came to be an inde pendent nation. The fire works were fine, and dancers from all j parts filled the hall until midnight ! Prot. Troy Mavs furnished the music. All pronounced it one of the best times they ever had. Hard times were forgotten and from the supply of fine cakes and all the good cooking one could imagine hard times never came to Lincoln county. The day finished with three good cheers for Cols. Kelsay and Parker, and all promised, if living, to meet at Sulphur Springs next 4th. Novus Homo. July, 8, 1896. Huffaker and J. A. Hamar Sunday at Newport.

The program at the picnic was not as fine as it should have been if more time had been taken in pre paring. Most of them who attended enjoyed the day. There was little dancing on the picnic grounds, but the dance in the evening at H. S. Porter's was very enjoyable. The Nortons teacher spent the day on Rock creek. She reports that the picnic there was quiet, but every one enjoyed the day. B. J. Har rington, the merchant, treated every one to candy and peanuts. A young son had come to his home a few days previous. There was a wedding at Nortons June 30, and our most popular young lady, Miss Marie Huntington, will no longer handle the Nortons postoffice. Mr. Will Davis of Beaverton, is the lucky man. He will take his wife to his home this week. Mr. Dick Huntington, brother of the bride, came to Nor tons to attend the wedding. Mr. Harvey Huntington, a cousin, is up from Newport. Andrew Porter and wife from the upper Siletz spent Saturday and Sunday at H. S. Porters'. Mr. Townsend and family from Kings Valley were present also, and Mrs. roner returned wnu tnem lor a visit of some length. Mrs. Eddy, the mother of Mrs n. a. roner, wm spena a week or two at Nortons. Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Miss Two Needful Things. There are two things that stand very greatly in the way of the progress and development of a large part of Lincoln county. These are two of the conditions which exist in the matter of the entry and occu pation of public land in what used to be the Siletz reservation. By an act of COiigicss luc uiiiuluiied lauds were made subject to one class of entry, namely, homestead entry, and that class of entry must pay $1.50 per acre for the land, fifty cents of which must be paid at time of entry, besides making three years' residence thereon. This should be changed to the ordinary homestead entry with the five year residence provision. In going into a new and wild country"' there ar hardships enough to encounter with out being compelled to pity ti.-r tlw land besides. This matter of tl e cash payment has retarded settle ment very greatly in ihat o tioii the country, and it slii-uM 1 -; abolished. There ii; no sens? i t compelling settlers thero t.i p, that amount of money for their lands when the settlers cu govern ment land just off of the reserve pays nothing. The next condition that should be changed is to allow land to bo taken there under the timber act. There are large bodies of very valuable timber On the Siletz, and the land is of no value at the present time for anything but the timber upon it. This" land held under the homestead law will be many years in setting up, and will be of no profit to the country. . If this timber land could be taken under the timber act the govern ment would be the gainer . by a dollar per acre, and it would also make a source of great wealth to the country. The lumber industry will develop rapidly, and prosperous communities would soon spring up where there is now nothing but the virgin forest. Change these two conditions in that part of our county and the result would astonish the most sanguine of our people. If our people can get our representatives in congress to take these matters up and secure these changes the result will be of great benefit to our ounty. Adverting to the senatorial fiviit now on in Oregon, the Wasco News reflectively says: "It is very pos sible that a senatorial deadlock will deprive Oregon of any legislation next year. The republicans will have about 60 members, and the majority of the remaining 30 will be populist. The republican strength will be about equally di vided, and unless they can get together it will be impossible to elect. Verily, it begins to look as though the halls of the senate will be depopulated through inability of legislatures to elect. It, however, will have the good effect of hasten ing the time when senators will be elected by thepeople." Carl Albrecht, the wife-murderer, was hanged at Marshfield, Oregon, yesterday. He said that his execution was just and that he expected to meet his wife in heaven. No doubt she' will be overjoyed to see the brute who hastened her journey to paradise. i . ' -
