After one continuous round of hard luck with the launch Racine, Mr. Williamson was (sufficiently discouraged to give it up and leave the bay.

Chitwood, Or., Sept. 20, 11104. Editor Leader : Much has been said through the columusof The Leader and other pa pers concerning good roads in Lincoln coonty. 1 would like to Imv9 space to Bay a few words. In the fust phico we must consider that the, county is poor, and can't make roads for everybody. Somo people keep saying tho law re quires that the supervisors shall open all county roads not considering that the couuty is not able to opeu oue third of the couuty roads that are al ready laid out. All the way I soo to have roads here is to take our tools and go 10 work. There are not any of us so poor but that we could put iu ten days' work on the road iu a year. I am sure we would make it back in tho wear on our vehicles and extra leed for our teams. The settlors of Simpson creek neighborhood see it U a fact they must have an outlet to Toledo and the coast for a trading point and ulso a market for their produce. Our road that is laid out to Toledo wo find has fences and brush in the way to hinder the travel that way. Some of it has gates across. As long as we haven't got the road opened to put teams across it isn't much bother to opeu and shut a good gate to protect a man's crop and give them all a reasonable time to put up fences. We are aiming to have the road so to travel Unit way by spring. We have all decided to meet Monday, October 3, at the Espy place, with the supervisor, and work cast as far as Long's, and theu set a day to meet Ht the mouth of Simpson creek to cut brush off tho right-of-way. We would like to have all interested in this road there. W. N. Cook. S. G. Iryiu of Newport is in tho city today Chester Morrison of Pioneer was in the city Wednesday. Paris Parks of Elk City had business iu Toledo Wednesday night. Landlord Conger of the Hotel Mon terey is a Toledo visitor today. Elmer White and family of Salem are the guests of the former's cousins, the Wade In others. Ik9 Derrick will have charge of Wm, Toner's place up tho Yaqjiiwt. The present occjipant, Mr. I luyck, will re turn to Michigan. The bfst man for our town is ho wLo praises it and talks about it without grossly exaggerating its resources orhi own importance, says an exchange. Ho trades .at homo and encourages everybody else, to do the same thing, lie will always have his oyes open aud endeavor to steer industrial enterpi iefcs into his town, but w(ll never try to fill the town with people before there are moans for a livelihood for them. Thi.' man will always be courteous and will uot have a hard-luck story on the end of his tongue, nor will he tell them th;t the town is going to the eternal " how -wows." He will never put him.'el! ahead of his town when the public welfare' is concerned. Ho will encour age the public o Ulcers; he will never lose bis vote; he will Keep himself well informed on all questions wherein the public is concerned, and will always bit up with the times. By the way, bo does this fit you ?
