Yehterday I saw Home Chinamen irrigating a garden : Which whs as far advanced as au Ore gon garden usually is in July. This is u clean, well-built town of 7000 or 8000 inhabitants, and business in all branches is very lively. 1 am much pleased with ' . what I have seen of the people and , town, although most of them say that the long, dry, hot season gets monoto nous, and at times uncomfortable. The vwater here is good. The artesian wells ''which supply the town are very deep and the water pure and better than can be obtained in many towus in Ore gon, although tha mountain springs of Webfoot will always stand first with me."

Counsil as meutally unbalanced. Mr. Counsil and Jack Earley, both of Tidewater, accompan ied the bhenff and his charge to To ledo. Mr. Bain, according to the testi mony of his neighbors, hus acted rather queerly for some time pust, but has generally been regarded as harmless. But recently his case has become more serious. A few days since he discovered his own hogs in his own meadow, root ing aud conducting themselves as hogs should. Mr. Bain at once got the idea into his head that Mr. and Mrs. Coun sil exercised an evil iufluonce over the hogs, which caused them to thus spoil his meadow, and ordered his neighbors to leave the country. He believes that the postmaster at Tide- witer kept $10,000 which was sent to him from his old home in Michican several years ago, aud shows other in dications of being not just right. He has resided at his presont home for nearly thirty years, coming there from Michigan, but never gave any particu lars regarding his former home. He wag a soldier during the war of the re bellion and received several wounds. one of whioh caused a fracture of the skull, and is believed to be the cause of his trouble. Mr. Earlev and other have endeavored to learn particulars as to ins soldiering, and, if possible, secure for him a pension, but his mind has never been sufficiently clear on the subjeot to give the necessary informa tion. He is a bachelor, owns a good furm and has always been Industrious, raising considerable stock. He is, Mr. Earley believes, about 70 years of age. Mr. Bain was examined last night by Dr. Wetmore and acliug upon the ad vice of the physician, County Judge Brown committed the unfortunate old man to the asylum at Salem, for which place he left this morning, in charge of Sheriff Boss, County, Oregon, Friday, Inherited Indian Land for Sale At NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN That bids will be received for the sale of the following described inherited Indian lands, situated and being in Lincoln County, Oregon, as per schedule herein set forth, to-wit: HE1U3 8UB.

In reply to inquiries regarding our return to Toledo during the summer, you will please announce through your paper that we will be in Toledo during the summer.

E.' and M. C. Adams. Pendleton, Or., March 22, 1901. Rachel, the 7-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Antone Bradeson, died yesterday morning, after an illness of only twenty-four hours. Dr. Carter was called, but the child was dying when he arrived. He pronounces the ailment cerebro spinal meningitis, or something of that nature. Another dantrhter. Ruby, aged 5. is verv ill of the same malady. Dr. Carter SAys the disease is infectious, and there is some fear that it may become epidemic. Should other cases develop it will probably result in the temporary closing of the Toledo schools. Later Little Ruby passed away about 5 o'clock this morning. Jesse Boone was ud from Winant Monday and informed The Leader that he will locate at Tualitan, in Washing ton county, and encaire in nonH.rv farming." Jesse has never been him self physically since he soldiered iu the Philippines with the First Tennessee regiment aud he hopes a change of climate and occupation may improve his health. C. L.. Litchfield was inspecting his possessions abouuding and abutting on Devil's Lake a few days ago, accom panied by Will Soule and John Siiota.

Seed Potatoes. We have a few bushels of Early Rose, Early Vermont and Burpee's Extra Early Seedlings seed potatoes. Speak for them early, as we have only a few bushels of each. Stewart & Vant. After being almost decent for onn whole week, the unknown nrlifnr rf f 1,.. Reporter again permits his real nature to assert ittelf. He says the editor of ihe l,eadek has a diseased brain, and in that t-legant and courteous stylo pe culiar to himself insinuates that we are a liar. The controversy threatens to become personal. As the columns of a newspaper may and should h filled ,whh something more interesting uian mat sort of stuff, we drop the subject, knowing that our readers have had enouifh of it. The Renorter hs expressed its belief in the integrity of me county court, and this has been the only point in dispute, so far as The Leader is concerned. We care nothing wiiatever for tho opinion of the un known editor of the Reporter. The home of Mn aud Mrs. Ed Stan ton was the scene of a pleasaut social affair last night. The principal form of amusement was "flinch" nnd "nit " and the young people present report a splendid time. Everett Jones returned Wednesday evening from a protracted stay in As toria. He declares his intention to re main at home indefinitely, having filed on a Liincoln county homestead. Mr. aud Mrs. Charles Hyde returned Saturday evening from a visit at Eddy ville. They were accompanied by Miss Anna Spoucer of Blodgett, a cousin of Mrs. Hyde. Fred Weatherford, the bewhiskered Democratic candidate for coroner, left this morning on a business trip to Al bany." Dr. Wetmore returned last evening from Portland, where he attended a session of the state health officers. Farmers John F. Stevens and S. Jim Brown of the Siletz country were mix ing with Toledo friends last night. Glenn Gillette came in last evening from Corvallis for a visit with friends and relatives in this city. A. T. Peterson left this morning for Lewis county, Washington, to look after his big chittim farm. Joe Ludwig was a pasenger for Port land this morning. Number 4 Chittim is King. A special from Chehalis, Wash., to the Portland Telegram says : "Lewis county has recently become the active center of the cascara bark business. A few months ago William Aldous and A. T. Peterson of Toledo, Liucolu county, Oregon, came to the county and made purchases of a num ber of fine tracts of cascara, paying a mere song for the bark on each separ ate piece. "Within a few weeks a large number of purchasers from Oregon and other sections have appeared on the scene and have endeavored to purchase the bark. They are now offering a much higher price than at first, but are not finding the ranchers so ready to eel. The latter have become thoroughly aroused by the great anxiety and large number of the purchasers, and some of them have commonced to imagine that they have a fortune in their cascara bark and are therefore slow to sell. A number of the buyers are now purchas' mg the land outright in order to get the bark. A few purchasers are in the Held to buy the cured bark, and these are offering from 5 to 1 cents per pound. From preseut indications a large amount of the bark will, be har vested in Lewis county this year." A special from Kalama, Wash., to tho same paper says : "Speculators have been quite busy of late, trying to contract for chittim bark; from land owners. One proposition is to contract for all that is offered at from 5 to 7 cents per pound for dry bark, de livered at railroad or river. Another proposition is to buy the bark on the tree at from to 1 cent per pound, Chittim trees are growing scarce, and it is certain the supply will soon bo ex hausted unless steps are taken to pre serve it. Owners of land well stocked with chittim regard it as a valuable- property. A chittim tree, one foot in diameter is worth as much in the forest as a fir tree four times as large. One pound of chittim bark for which 5 cents is offered, will make one pound of fluid extract, which sells at whole sale for $2 per pound, and the cost of manufacture should not exceed 25 cents per pound. "The ruling price for the bark for a number of years has been from 1 to 3 cents per pound, which did not more than pay for the peeling, aud the owner got nothing at all for his bark. The demand for the chittim bark is very great, as it is prescribed by all regular' physicians almost daily, in all countries of the civilized world, besides being the active ingredient iu a great many pat eut medicines. Tho world's supply must be obtained from the Pacific Coast, as it doe9 not grow anywhere else. The bark is not used for two years after it is removed from tho tree, as the new bark contains a ferment that ren ders its action harsh, which is much modified by tho curing process. On that account, bark can be safely held ' for a higher price, it being only neces sary to keep it in a dry place. The chittim tree is probably tho most valu able medicinal tree, indigenous to the United States, and tho bark should bring 25 cents per pound at least." Oglesby Family Reunion. A reunion of the Oglesby family watt held recently at the home of Mrs. Ma lissa Derrick at Eddyville, Lincoln county, Oregon. All iiving members of the family were preseut with the ex ception of Mrs. Louisa Thompson of Fossil. Or.
