The craft has been completed and made her trial trip last Saturday. Sheriff Ross was accorded the honor of christening the boat. On account of the com motion, caused by her twin stern wheels, he named her " The Splatter," etc. The boat is quite a success, and Mr. Gregson 's idea is evidently all right, but it is said a more powerful engine is needed. The community welcomes "The Splatter," etc. She's off ! Now mark the foaming brine Roll up like breakers on the shore, And, loud as mountain torront's vx'.v, A-dashing 'neath the lordly nine, Salutes the source of her design ! Lons: "y The Splatter, etc., glide On old Yiumina's constant tide. ! Long may her animated stern The everlasting waters churn ! She moves! A broad and sunny gleam Illumes her proud designer's face And gives to doubt the farewell chase ; And he w ho named her gives her steam And cheers the princess of the stream. All hail The Splatter, etc. ! Now Place laurels on her sponsor's brow ! Here's to the craft of future fame! And here's to him who gave her name !

The Oregoniun laat Friday, in an arti cle devoted to timber statistics, esti mated that tho supply in the United States, at the present rate of consump tion, would be practically exhausted in tw enty-five years This reminds us that Lincoln county is rich in fir and spruce timber, although it is not generally known, even by some old settlers, for the reason that outside of tho Alsea country the timber is principally on the Siletz reservation. .Mr. H. F. Jones of Toledo has since December located 6f timber claims in the timber belt be tween the head of tide on Depoo slough, north of Toledo, and "the Siletz river. He lias had a crew of men employed and has surveyed out each quarter sec tion and. built .a.houso.on every.flluiiu;. so there can be no misunderstanding as to location. Mr. Jones also informs Th" T,M.r!r. that Saiesa dj.iUlwU have located with school scrip 8000 acres of timber lands just north of tho tract ta Ken ny ins party, so Unit inalItliero has been about 17,000 acres located just, north of Toledo since last December.' In addition Mr. Jones reports that over 30,000 acres have been located east of loleilo and up tho Siletz river, and that two parties of government surveyors,, each engaged in surveying a township,, are followed by settlers who locate as fast as the lines are run, and he esti mates that as a result of the timber lo cations in Lincoln county since. Decem ber 70,000 acres will be added to the tax rolls. Mr. Jones has been talking and writing up Lincoln county timber for several years, and he now has the satis faction of seeing these lands taken and great prosperity for Lincoln comity near at hand. It will take many sawmillH and an army of men for years to manu facture this fine body of timber into lumber, and it is the tin-bucket men w ho put money into a country. Following art the names of Salem parties who have taken timber claims north of Toledo : D. Wall, J. W. Gunn, M. llolstopher, S. E. Dyer, Julia Brown,. II. Young, J. Jenks, A. Davis, It. Davis,. G. W.
