Al WauL'h for Albanj . iemoc;rat yesterday niornir.tr Al is the only jeffersoniaa in LilllColn RnnnlTT or.,1 ...u:, bis politics is at variance with that of The Leader, we must give him credit for true loyalty to the county of his adoption in the encouragement of her industries, l'or years he has been a martvr tn hr cause in chewing and otherwise masti catmg u,e fibrous and more or less succulent beef, the product of onr sun kissed hills, without a murmur. But at last the forces of Nature gave way and Al has been gumming it for several months. Upon his return he will smile upou his fellow-townsmen in the full glory of guttapercha and polished ivory the contract having been let to an Al bany firm. The Reporter notes that Tnu Leader charges for publishing the list of bills audited by the Commissioners Courfc, while the Reporter does the same for nothing. That's correct. The law pro- vidp for onoli . , . n. - i'i"n..iuuii, aud Ihe Leadek will cettainly charge for it as any sensible publisher will who is dele gated to do the work. Of course, the Reporter, which is evidently backed by capitalists and bloated bondholders, can afford to do any and all kinds of county publishing free of charge just to keep Tub Leader from making an honest living. Isn't that nice? The people of Lincoln county are signing a petition, to the Secretary of the Interior urging him to take such aciion as will enable Siletz reservation settlers to make proof upon and secure patents to their claims. For more than a year all proofs have been held, up and homesteaders put to annoyance aud expense, both useless and unjust. It is hoped and believed that the Oregon del egation will secure favorable action up on the petition. Seuators Mitchell aud Fulton may bo depended upon to put forth their best elforts. We are in receipt of a G-foot "poem" about a great hunt. Tbo author mod estly neglected to sign his or her name, therefore we canuot give it Bpace, even if we had room for it this week, which we haven't. The writer will please see the point also have his or her name placed on Tub Leader's subscription list if it is not already there. At its special meeting on the night ot the 14th inst the City Conucil, by a unanimous vote, rejected the ordinance providing for a city tax for general pur poses. It was the genera) opinion that the people cau stand it if their taxes are not increased for a year or two. As we write and endeavor to fill the columns of this week's Leader with in teresting items, a visitor looks over our shoulder and reads every word of this. lie shouldn't do it. It is a breach of print-shop etiquette. Mrs. May Carmen, who has boen vis iting her sister, Mis. Geo. L. McCaulou, departed Tuesday morning for Seattle for a visit with her parents, after which she will return to her home in New York City. Our old friend and former fellow ciiizen E. A. Swan writes that he is now "at home'' at No. 51 Day's Park, Buf falo, N. Y. lie sends kind regards to all his friends in Toledo and vicinity. Some of the finest apples that ever happened reached The Leader office the other day-great, big Kings, grown by George Hodges on Big Elk. They would shine in any company. Captain VV. R. Wakefield returned the fore part of the week from a visit with his better nine tenths at his home lu Waldport, and is again subbing for County Clerk Wade. C. B. King and family of Coer A' Alene, Idaho, who haye been visiting C. K. Crosno and family, left Monday morning for California, where they will spend the winter. II. K. Lugger, who has beeu having a good time at Seal Rocks and vicinity, pasfed through Wednesday morning en route to his home ut Albany. Miss Mena Tcllefson of Yuquina passed through Monday to Albany, where she is an assistant in a millinery store. P. A. Correll came up from the Alsea buy country Tuesday morning aud passed on to his home in Albauy. Ed Montgomery has been having the dog gonedest time this week he ever had in bin life.

Mary Shiaar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Shluar, was born in Portland, Oregon, on August 27, 1898, and died in Toledo, Oregon, on- January 17, 1904, aged 5 years, 4 months and 20 days. , Little Mary was the youngest of u family of five children and was a bright, lovable child. Her illness extended over about ten days during which time her sufferings were bravely born, and when in her last hours it came to her childish mind that she was to be calleq from this earth she told her sorrowing mother that she was "going to see God." After a night of severe suffering her little spirit took its flight from its prisou of clay, and surrounded by her sorrowing loved ones, passed on to" thai, better laud, where she now dwells with God. "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is tne Kingdom of Heaven." A Friksd. The Five Rivers Bridges. Editor Leadeb: I-was surprised to see in a recent is sue of The Leader an advertisement for bids to build a bridge across Five Rivers, above the ranch of Frank Seit. In behalf of our honorable board of Commissioners and the taxpaying citi zens of the county, both of whom wo wish to thoroughly understand the case, permit me to say a few words about tho Five Rivers bridges. There is a bridge badly neoded ou Five Rivers, and a bid for a bridge In the right place would strike the ap proval of all our citizens : but a3 it is, our county is asked to appropriate money to build a bridge, not where it will be most needed, but where a few families will receive the main benefit, trusting, that if they get this, the least needed bridge, we can take chances on getting the most needed one. To prove to you who are not familiar with the country that the bridge asked lor is not the most needed one, I will state the case as plainly as I can, and any one who is familiar with the case will tell you. that what I say is true : There are the two fords crossing said river, which the settlers use in doing their hauling to and from the outer valley; but the upper ford, or place designated in the bid for the bridge can be rorded when the lower one cannot; so, if there was a bridge across the up per ford, the travel could then oulv co to the lower one, and consequently that oriugo would be or no real benefit to the teamsters until the other bridge was built. This shows plainly that the most needed bridge is nt the lower, forcl. It is true that the upper bridge could be used to advantage by all the settlers, but it will beuelit those principally who own land on either side of the bridge as a stock bridge, and also in goinp to and from the postofllce. But the point is this: Our county cannot afford to build every bridge that would bo handy, and we as consci entious citizens have no right to stip. ulate for auy bridge but the most needed ones. If we prove to our Com missioners that wo are the riuht kind of citizens, and will ask only for such local improvements as are necessary, we w ill como far nearer getting them thau if they find us unreasonable in our demands.
