The steamer Richardson came up
last Saturday and took one of the
old government scows out of the
slough that has been laying here
for some time.
A printing firm in Portland that
has been boycotted by the trades
union of that city, is doing the
principal part of che job printing
for Lincoln county now.
The tug Tonquin arrived in Si
letz a week ago last Sunday, and
last Thursday, she took out as
cargo 850 cases of salmon, the last!
of the pack of the Kernville can
nery. Arrangements for the dance to
be given by the G. A. R, and
VV. R." C, are progressing nicely,
and the prospects are that the affair
will lje one of the most enjoyable
events of the season.
At a meeting of the city council
last Monday night, R. A. Arnold
was appointed marshal to fill the
unexpired term of C. H. Ruhl,
resigned. Anyone having a second
hand tin star will do well to cor
respond with the new officer.
Patents for land for the following
Lincoln county settlers have been
received at the Oregon City land
office: Abraham L. McFadden,
Kdward J. Dunn, A. L. McDonald,
P. N. Lathrop, Kmil G. Tracksel,
Jas. E. Post, Jas. II. Norris, Marcus
Rowin, Austin Howell and Karl
Knudson. The settlers should get
these patents and have them re
corded in the county clerk's office,
thus securing the proper basis for
the title to their lands.
Circuit court for Lincoln county
convenes next Monday. The
docket is a light one being com
posed of only twenty-lour cases,
with one or two small appeal cases
yet to come in. Of these only one
or two are liable to require the
services of a jury to adjudicate, the
most of them being law cases only.
It is not probable that the court
will be in session to exceed three
days. Litigation in Lincoln county
is limited.
For two warrant books, con
taining 1,000 warrants each, the
county pays a Portland firm $36.
The warrants are piinted on a poor
grade of paper and there is an error
in the form. The same work could
have been done in home printing
offices for less than one half, and
they would have been in the right
form, or the court would not have
accepted them. That's a chunk of
$18 economy made by sending
work outside of the county. The
firm that did the work pays no taxes
iu Lincoln couuty. '
You can get what you want at
Gowell's.
Gowell has plenty of feed, seed
and flour.
For variety, quantity and prices,
go to Gowell.
Bring your produce to Gowell, to
get best market price.
Elmo Davis and wife were down
from Pioneer Monday night.
Hood's pills are prompt, efficient,
always reliable, easy to operate.
Judge Stearns was a passenger
on the east-bound train this morn

low price at the store of Peter Tel
lefson, Yaquina.
The legislature has not organized,
but Gowell does business yet, at
the old stantj, for cash or its equal.
Col. John Lane of the Indian de
partment, arrived in Toledo Tues
day night and went to Siletz yes
terday. A. T. Peterson has run a tele
phone line up to his house and has
pat in an instrument ther
own convenience.
The way to cure catarrh is to
purify the blood, and the purest,
safest, best way to purify the blood
is by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla,
the One True Blood Purifier.
If the salary of the clerk as fixed
by the county court is not changed
by the circuit court, Lincoln county
will be ahead all right, as the
county will get all of its work done
for nothing, as the fees earned by
I the clerk in recording and in county
and circuit courts, will amount to
enough to pay the clerk's salary of
$1,200, as fixed by the couuty
court.
County Surveyor Derrick is in
town today. He informs us that
the new road recently surveyed on
the Siletz from the lower canoe
landing to a point several miles
clown the river is on an excellent
route. The length of the road is a
fraction over eight miles. Only
two hills are encountered on the
route, and the grade on neither of
them will exceed eight per cent.
This road will be a great benefit to
the settlers on the Siletz.
Pocahantas Camp No. 299, V. of
W., have installed the following
officers for the term: R. A. Arnold,
consul; J. S. Akin, adviser; Geo.
Bethers, clerk; B. F. Jones, banker;
R. K. Chambers, escort; C. S. Rice,
sentry; A. F. Stanton, watchman;
C. L. Gowell, A. T. Peterson, J.
W. Parrish, managers. The camp
will indulge iu a post-installation
supper at its lodge room tonight,
which will be for the members of
the lodge only.
The county court has not yet
made the levy in this couuty for
county and school purposes. The
levy will no doubt be heavier for
county purposed this year than
ever before. This will be rendered
necessary from the fact that the
court heretofore has never made a
county levy of sufficient amount to
pay the running expenses of the
county. The prospect of a high
tax for the coming year is not an
encouraging one.
County Assessor Lutz left for
Salem last Tuesday morning to at
tend the state convention of assessors
which meets in that city this week.
The assessors, if they follow a
notable example recently set, will
proceed to regulate the whole fabric
of county affairs, save and except
the office of county assessors. We
have not learned the date of the
state meeting of the county coroners,
but presume that it will be held, or
at least it ought to be, about the
time that the hippodrome now
playing in Salem iu the guise of a
state legislature dies by limitation.
All the coroners of the state should
then be called to sit on its dead
body, and then the stench would
ba unbeatable. ' . ' t- ,

Gowell don't sell goods for less
than cost, but he sells an average
bill below all competitors.
"The best goods to the greatest
number," is a political saw, but
the most and best goods for the
money is only true at Gowell's.
Do you know that if you neglect
catarrh in the head it will bring on
other troubles that often terminate
fatally. Stop it now and be cured
from that disagreeable disease, by
using Prescription No, 1. For sale

Later reports from J. R. Bryson,
in the Good Samaritan hospital at
Portland, are to the effect that the
patient continues to improve. Judge
McFadden was at his bedside yes-
Icr : terday afternoon, and "his estimate
nf the patient's condition is that it
is now better than a month before
Jude Bryson went to Portland. A
letter received from the family yes
terday w as of the same tenor, and
further trouble in the case is now
considered unlikelv. Times.
Toledo Lodge No. 108, I. O. O.
F. installed officers for the term
last Saturday night.
Special to the Leader.
Col. John Kelsay died at his
home in Corvallis, on Tuesday
evening, January 19, 1897, f acute
bronchits.
The deceased had been in failing
health for the past three months,
having only a few weeks ago
recovered from an illness that had
confined him to his home for a
period of ten days. The illness
which terminated fatally was con
tracted only a few days ago. The
end came so peacefully that the
watchers at his bedside had not
discovered that the spirit had fled
until several minutes after life had
left the body. The funeral took
place this afternoon.
Col. John Kelsay was born in
Kentucky, October 23, 1819.
From that state he went to Missouri
where he acquired some little
prominence, being a member of the
legislature of that state in 1844.
Shortly after that he came to Ore
gon and iu the early history of this
state he was a prominent figure.
He was a member of the convention
which framed the Oregon constitu
tion in 1857, and in 1864 he was
elected a member of the supreme
court of the state of Oregon, and
served one terra as such. In state
' 3 t 1 .1'. ! I .
The following i ponucs ne was always a
prominent figure. He gained the
title of Co!onel in the Rogue river
Indian war, in which war he was
an active participant, and rendered
signal service to his state.
The death of Colonel Kelsay has
removed a notable character from
among the people of Oregon. He
was an able jurist and advocate,
