There are all the elements for a
prolonged fuss in that Drift Creek
land business. People of different
nationalities, and a disputed piece
of land, makes the foundation for
a big fuss, and as it loo often
occurs, for a tragedy. Wise and
cool advice should be given and
followed. We hope and believe
that the worst of the case is over.
It is now a matter for the land
office to decide, and we hope that
the settlement will be speedy and
equitable.

supervisor to have the fences re
moved, but the supervisor refused

removed. Mr. Oglesby states that
I he only has to open eight gates to
get out from his place now.

Mr. Sam Case, of Newport, re
turned from Portland last week,
where he has been at the hospital
for a time. We are sorry to be
informed that the hospital physi
cians gave Mr. Case no encourage
ment. We are proud of one thing for
Toledo, and that is her musical and
literary talent. We say it, without
boasting, that Toledo has more
ability of the kind named above
than any other town of its size in
Oregon.

Mr. A. B. Hammond is expected
to make a tour ot inspection of the
O. C. & E. line this week. As lue
construction of the Astoria line
draws to a close it is hoped that
attention will be given to the ex
tension of the O. C. & E.
Quarterly examination of teachers
again, and several applicants are
present to try their skill at all the
wise, deep, and sometimes shallow
questions sent out by the state
board. Last examination it was
mental arithmetic that tripped up
several of the applicants. It is
thought that the members of the
state board that have the framing
of these lists of questions, have
been too busy trying to figure out
their own salaries since Kincaid
has tied the treasury up, to have
had any time to study out brain
puzzling problems for the poor
wouldbe pedagogues.
The Westfield, (Indiana) News
prints the following in regard to an
old resident of that place: "Frank
McAvoy, for many years in the em
ploy of the L., N. A. & C. Ry.,
here says: 'I have used Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy for ten years or longer :
am never without it in my family.
I consider it the best remedy of the
kind ever manulactured. I take
pleasure in recommending it.'" It
is a specific for all bowel disorders.
For sale by O. O. Krogstad, drug
gist. Sam Logan, well known to
nearly every reader of the Leader, j
has lived many years on the Bay,
and during that time has "bucked"
tide with small boat, steamboat and
scow, in daylight and dark, in all
times and through all seasons. In
fact Sam has a kind of local reputa
tion as a "bucker" of tides, it be
ing said by many that they have
seen Sam wait until the tide turned
just to get to pull a boat against it.
But Sam tried a new mode of buck
ing the tide last week, and it came
pretty near being Sam's last buck.
He started from Newport to Otter
Rock with a span of mules and a
hack load of provisions. In round
ing a point Sam crowded the tide a
little close and met with an accident
He thought he could get around
between two waves, but he forgot
that he was driving mules. .The
mules saw a breaker coming and
stopped and all of Sam's efforts
failed to get a move 011 them. The
breaker caught the hack upsetting
it, and strung his load out in the
waves. Sam got his mules and
himself out, but he lost his load of
groceries. The next time Sam
tries to buck tide it will not be with
a span of mules.

and chronic sore eyes. 25 cts. jer box.

GOWELL'S,
The Trade Center
Gowell buys and sells every thiug.
Flour, mill-feed and grain of all
kinds, at Gowell's.
Why don't you trade at the busi
ness center? Gowell's, Toledo, Or
egon. A change in postmasters is ex
pected to take place at an early
date at this place. The present in
cumbent's term expires about the
present time, and his successor will
no doubt be immediately appointed.
There seems to be an enormous
crop of fruits of all kinds now as
sured in Lincoln county this year.
The season is now so far advanced
that no danger from frost is feared,
and but little fear exists of a long
continued cold rain that would in
jure the blossoms. Small fruits
will be a little late, but a few warm
days like we have had this week
will bring it on rapidly. The only
thing injured by the spring frosts
that we have heard of has been the
strawberries and a few early peais.
The damage to the strawberries has
been slight, and no doubt the late
buds will make up a full crop.
We happened to overhear a part
of a conversation between a repre
sentalive of a Cascade lumber mill,
and a gentleman of this place who
is erecting a good sized business
building, the other day, and we
heard a remark made by the home
gentleman that deeply impressed
us. The mill representative was
trying to induce him to purchase
material from his mill, and said
that on a bill of the size he wished,
that he could get a much lower
price by buying of an outside mill.
The gentleman made the statement
that he could not afford to buy of
outside parties, no matter what the
price was. That he firmly believed
in patronizing home institutions
whenever it was at all possible to
do so. It struck us that the senti
ment was a good one. If all the
lumber that will be used in Lincoln
county this summer be bought of
Lincoln county mills, it will mean
not only the keeping at home of a
large sum of money, but it will also
mean almost steady work for' our
mills, steady work for our loggers
and a general benefit to the com
munity. The difference of fifty
cents or a dollar per thousand in
.1. r 1 , . .
iue price 01 lumoer snouia never
cause any Lincoln county man to
buy away from home. He will be
the loser in the long run.
Sunday School Picnic.
The members of the M. E. Sun
day school will have the first picnic
of the season next Saturday, if the
weather is fair. The picnic will be
held in the grove near the Parrish
school house. The committee
extends an invitation to all to
attend, and especially the children.
The children are requested to meet
at Copeland's store at 9 o'clock
wnere teams will be provided to
1 take them out.

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
(From the Falrbaven. (N. Y.,) Rcirister.)
Mr. James Rowland of f his vil
lage, states that for twentv-five
years his wife has been a sufferer
from rheumatism. A few nights
ago she was in such pain that she
was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.
Rowland for the doctor, but he had
read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
and instead of going for the physi
cian he went to the store and se
cured a bottle of it. His wife did
not approteof Mr. Rowland's pur
chase at first, but nevertheless ap
plied the balm thoroughly and in
an hour's time was able to go to
sleep. She now applies it when
ever she feels an ache or pain and
finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which
she had used ever did her as much
good The 25 and 5 cent sizes for
