SHE'S A WINNER.
The Leader recently mentioned
the fact that Moses Gregson was
having built a steam barge of his
own design. 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 !

TALK ABOUT TIMBER.
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,.
