Address, The LEADER, Toledo Oregon.
The ihiok will oe puunsueu aooui ueu m
The Corvallis Gazette grieves
because the Leader and other pa
papers use the word "reform" when
speaking of a union of forces in Or
egon. The papers of the Gazette
kind very naturally object to reform.
It has a distasteful discordant
sound to them. It means less spoils
for politicians, less "pap" of all
kinds, and a lessening of the burden
of taxation. No wonder the Ga
zette objects to it. y
A new game called ti
lelight" is played In
the "Editor's
Uengnt is played in this way:
Take a sheet of ordinary writing
paper, fold it carefully, and enclose
a bank note sufficiently large to pay
up arrearages and one year in ad
vance. Keep an eye on the editor,
and if a smile adorns his face, the
trick works like a charm. Now is
the time to play the joke. Ex.
The real difficulty in connection
with prospecting at Klondike, is
not so much the trouble of staking
out good paying claims, as it is to
get into the country at all, or to
keep from starving to death if you
do get in. The narrow mountain
passes leading into British Colum
bia are so compleatly glutted with
human traffic that the overflqw'Sf
the foot-hills of hundreds and ihous'
ands of men, women, horses, and
dogs, and the melee of carts, sleds,
and provision in the utmost possible
confusion, form a scene absolutely
unique in the history of golddiscov
eries, a scene appalling in its com
bination of misery, pathos, of human
ambition and consequent suffering.
From "Great Gold Discoveries,"
in Demorest's Family Magazine for
January.
The New Year's issue the Ore
gonian says: There are indications
of a new move in Oregon's railroad
affairs' The O. C. & E., successor
to the Oregonian Pacific, is likeiy
to undergo another change. A nem
corporation was launched at Albany
the other day, and named the Cor
vallis & Eastern. Mr. Hammond
who is the head and front of the O.
C. & E. and the Astoria & Colum
bia River roads, is at the head of
new concern, and it is given out
that it is the intention to take up
the O. C. & E. property, being the
railroad now operated from Yaquina
bay to Detroit, in the Cascade moun
tains, enteving the Willamette at
the headwaters of Mary's river,
west of Corvallis, and, passing that
town and Albany, passes on by way
of the forks of the Santiam to the
mountains, and to extend it on to
the Des chutes and thence across
Crook, Harney and Malheur comi
ties to an eastern connection' at On
tario. The present owners know
that in order to make the present
properly pay it will be necessary to
extend the road into new fields;
these can be found in the northeast
counties, and there appears no rea
son why the bunchgrass soils of the
section should not yield as good
crops of cereals as the regoins fur
ther north. Should this prove the
case a large and thrifty population
will follow up the building of the
road. Some profess to see in this
movement the fine Italian hand of
the Southern Pacific, and' Fay that
it is the purpose of this company to
secure an eastern connection, tap all
the important wheat sections

ADVERTISING APPRECIATED.
"The other day when we were
driving down town behind our fam
ily rhinoceros, we came upon an
aged man tearing a bridge to pieces
and placing it upon a wagon."
writes the editor of a Nebraska pa
per. "As the bridge was one that
we needed in our business, we
asked the ancient mariner what he
was doing with it, and, in which
case, or why so, or words to that
effect. He replied: "My eyesight
is poor and I have not my spec
tacles with me: I understand that
many advertisements are painted
upon this bridge, and I am taking
it home in order that I may read
them and find out where toget bar
gains. The long winter evenings
are coming, and I want to lay in -i
supply of bridges and board fjnees
and barn dcors, that I may sit by
my fireside and read what the mer
chants have to say." We told him
him that the newspapers contained
more advertising than the bridges
and better ones, too; but he said
that the print in the newspaper is
too fine. We drove away, glad
that the bridge and fence advertis
ers have av least one regular read
er." Another year has gone and a new
year is upon us. The year that
has cone has marked ; a reasonable' '
progress in Lincoln county. Not
so much perhaps, as many would
have wished, but still a very marked
progress has been made. The county
has received a fair share of the im
migration to this state, and the class
of settlers coming in hns been of an
industrious ani progressive nature.
In Toledo and vicinitiy there has
been a large inflix of hardy and in
dustrious Scandinavian people. In
Toledo precinct alone the popula
ilon has been increased by more
than a hundred souls by the incom
ing of these people. For the most
part they have bought small tracts
of laud near town, and have gone
onto these tracts and are improving
the same. Generally the increased
settelment of the county has been
satisfactory. Taken altogether
the year 1897 has been as satisfac
tory as any of the recent years that
have gone before, and the new year
of 1898 holds out as many promises
as the usual new years do.
The editor of the Corvallis Union
is hardly consistent. He thinks
that a Union of the democrats, pop
ulists and free silver republicans
would be dishonorable to all par
ties; but at the same time he thinks
that it would be both proper and
honorable for the republicans and
gold democrats to unite forces.
Come, Daly, tell us the difference
between tweedle dee and tweedle
dum.
Last year one firm in Grant's
Pass bought and shipped $82,369
worth of gold dust. This is but a
small part of the dust thathas been
shipped from that place, as many
of the mines ship direct. This firm
shipped $21,000 more in 1897 than
in 1896.

The Corvallis Times says that
the annual report of the president
of the board of regencs of the agri
cultural college shows that the
state owes the college about $18,
000 interest on the funds derived
from the sale of lands donated by
the federal government.
