Buoy and Attorney Hawkins on a fishing expedition to Drift creek last Fri day. The young man proved to be n full-blown tenderfoot, shook his companions early next morning, without their knowledge or con sent, and returned to Toledo. He couldn't stand the brush, the pre cipitous ba.iks, the rough stones, the cold water so he couldn't and he would rather be with his best girl, strolling on the snioofh beach at Newport so he would and he reached Toledo in time to connect with the train for Vanning and the steamer Richardson carried him to the Resort city and the one whom he loves better than fish. Messrs. Buoy and Hawkins were very successful, returning with trout enough to supply the town. They will remove the brush from a good fishing spot on the bank of Drift creek, seed it to blue grass, put up a nice hammock, and invite Mr. King to accompany them again next season. ' Charles Gordon of Goldeu Gate, Cal., arrived last Saturday and will spend the summer on the bay and at bis ranch on Drift creek. He is enjoying himself among old friends and neighbors and does not hesitate Vy,':say that he prefers this part of the world to California. He informs The Leader that Mrs. Gordon ar rived at her home from this place ou the 5th of July with the remains of her son, and she wishes to ex press her appreciation of the kind ness and assistance of numerous friends during her stay in the county. Mrs. U. B. Vogle and daughter came in from Corvallis Saturday ' and joined the head of the family. Mr. Vogle went to Newport Tues day evening, to be absent a week possibly longer there having been but little encouragement for a watch repairer and optician in Toledo during his stay. Sheriff Ross and Deputy Fred Ross returned Saturday evening from Salem, where they deposited Bert Griffith and Frank Baker in . the State bastile. Sheriff Ross re ports our late citizens Holderman and Mass getting along nicely, both being on the "trusty" list.

A rather sma11 attendance marked the PeinS of lhe teachers insti- tute in Toledo Wednesday.- This ; , i.- pjuuauo explained y me tact ... , , . , that all roads do not lead to TrXMrV The greater per cent of our teach ers belong to the tender sex, and while' they" are strong-minded, and would "face a frowning, world," and all that sort of thing, Oregon mountain trails, rivers and bays serve as reminders that they are only women and girls after- all. True, there are exceptions. Some of those in attendance encountered all the above-mentioned obstacles and arrived here on schedule time. But we're approaching dangerous u..... j .uiiv..Tjeiiy luicuuuu Was UCVOiea 10 registration. announcements, etc.,' "Language," a paper by Miss Ivmma Wright, being carried over for the" first number of the after noon session. This was a verv able effort and received Close attention. Prof. P. O. Bonebrake, president of rhilomath college, talked "His tory." This is. evidently the pro fessor's favorite theme, and interest never lags while he occupies the floor. He is the leading "thing" in the institute, and worth a fifty mile trip over all kinds of trails. But pardon us again. "Supplementary Reading," a paper by Miss M. L. Hampton, who registers from Rocca, Polk county, was intensely interesting. Miss Hampton is almost an enthusiast on the subject, and her many valuable suggestions were appreciated. The opening 'number Aat the ses sion Thursday forenoon was a paper on "Geography" by Mrs. . K.J. Norton, which was brief, but mer itorious. . .Prof. Bonebrake led in an inter esting discussion of the subject, "Grammar," which proved that great minds continue to differ; also that "grammarians" are somewhat addicted to the use of "Knglish as she is spoke." "Arithmetic" was "handled by Mrs. N. Tunison and Miss Kmilie Henry. The former explained her method of teaching "rapid work," while Miss Henry gave a brief talk on "the 45 combinations." At the opening of the afternoon session Superintendent Bethers read some interesting comment and statistics from an educational paper It was shown that in the state of j Illinois there are several hundred schools having an average daily a tenoance of less than ro; that Ion sclloolhonses are still doing service in that state: that many schools are never visited by the county ... .. . 3 superintendent. Lincoln comitv did not suffer. by the comparison. Prol. Bonebrake again took up the subject of "History," and an- !rtlii- ni-Afl t 1 , 1 11- 1 Ml!, J 3 " 1 v. 111 1 tu r ,. ,,rpnar!lt:mi Tlf . ' Per by Miss Ktnilie Henry," is in our humble opinion, worthy of more than passiher notice. It was thoroughly appreciated, especially by teachers, and a copy of it in the hands of every young instructor should be a guide to success. At the evening session Rose brooks orchestra made some ex cellent, "music, and Sheriff Ross rendered a pair of vocal Solos in his usual applause-catching style, his musical little daughter Verne fur nishing a faultless accompaniment. A spicy batch of "Current Events" was furnished by Miss May Harrison of Waldport. Miss Harrison was not present, but Miss Hampton was her efficient proxy. In dealing with "Current IJ vents," Miss Harrison evinces an argu mentativeness that may cause us to challenge her to a duel on the ros trum when we can spare the time possibly during the summer of 1950. It was a bright grist just the same. A select reading by Mrs. Hattie B. Tracy made a very favorable impression. The feature of the evening was Prof. Bonebrake's lecture on Africa, prefaced by a description of the ocean voyage from Liverpool to "The Dark Continent. 'including a stop'at the Canaty islands. The professor has a very entertaining J". toe audience was inter ested from start to finish Among the teachers preseutwere: Misses Fay and Kdith Norton, Misses Emma and Anna Wright, Miss Ona Coffin, Mrs. K. J. Norton, Yaquina; Miss Myrtle Parmele, Johnson; Misses Emilie A. Henry and Jessie j . McCullough and Mrs. Hattie B. Tracy, Newport; Miss Mamie Wakefield, Eddyville; Miss M. L. Hampton,. Rocca; Miss Mamie McCluskey, Messrs. George B. McCluskey, R. F. Holm and Superintendent Bethers, Toledo; Prof. P. O. Bonebrake, president of rnuomatn college; State Superin eendent J. H. Ackerman of Salem,' and Prof. P. . L. Campell of the Monmouth State Normal school. A large number of the pupils of the Toledo schools and other visitors were also present.. The institute is still in session and further particulars will be given next Week. Fred Stanton brought into The Leader office a few days ayo some samples of the pie plant grown at his city home away up on the hill. Application of the tape-line showed that it was a little more than twenty-one feet around the outer ede of the leaf of the larger sample, and the stalk was a little more than seven inches in diameter. The sample hadn't finished its growth, either. If, any man doubts this, he will get into trouble with Fred Stanton. J. J. Gaither and family came in last Saturday evening from Fort Simcoe, Wash., where Mr. Gaither is stationed as clerk at the Yakima Indian acencv. Th family hmII spend the 30-days' vacation at the parental home in Toledo. Mr. Gaither believes Yaquina bay is the only place, and still considers this his home. J. P. Thomas of Waldport ac companied by Capt. Wakefield and W. . Reynolds as witnesses, came up this morning to make final proof on his homestead before the county clerk.

Dan Murky returned from the valley last Saturday. Number 22. . No County Fair This Fall. Nashville, Or., July 30, 1900.- Editor of the Lincoln County Leader: The time has slipped by for making all the many prepara tions needed for the proposed coun ty fair to be held at Toledo on or about September 14 next. To make a success of it, a working committee, representing. every pre-', cint in the county, should be organ ized and at work arranging for ex hibits, collecting funds for the ex penses of printing, advertising:,, premiums, display of exhibits and various other purposes. But it is too late for this year to make the effort. Under these circumstances. my advice to all interested is to re serve themselves for root, and to be ready early in that year to re spond promptly to an invitation to join heart and hand in an effort to' make the Lincoln county fair of 1901 truly representative of the varied and abundant resources of this fertile and most attractive- county.

It h one of the most fertile and prolific spots in the countiy when given a chance. S. J. Stewart broucht in some raspberries for the printer a few days ago which be said were just his "common ones." Me had disposed of his "fine large ones." The common ones were the largest and best w? have seen thia season. 1 1. 1 V. ': !r 1. ZL rJL t .- "'VJk ... j C , .... -
