Lincoln County Leader OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPF.R COLLINS & HAYDEN, Pdblishebs Entered at the postofflre at Toledo, Oregon, second-class mail matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year - - - ii 50 Six Months - 75 Three Months - 50 Senator Chamberlain. Last Tuesday the legislators of the state of Oregon elected Gover nor George Chamlerlain for United States Senator. We are glad of it. We are glad to 6ee the pledges made by our representatives kept. We did not want Chamberlain nor any other Democrat elected Senator, but we certainly did not want our rep resentatives to go back on their pledges. Chamberlain has made a good Governor, from a Democrat's standpoint, and will probably make a good Senator. Anyway, hurrah for Senator Chamberlain. It is to be hoped that the people of the T-owpr Siletz Trill be able to swing that boat proposition. They need such a boat and if they are ever to go ahead and develop, that part of the county they must have better means of transportation than at present. A email boat such as is being talked of seems to be t lie only feastiblo way out of their trouble. By the time the boat be comes two Binall for the business they will have good wagon roads and perhaps a railroad. The Commissioners' Court has or dered a survey of she Toledo-Siletz wagon road.. It is the Court's, as well as the- peoples', desire to make this a first class road. The survey or was instructed that in making the survey to avoid more than fix per cent grades at all times. With a good plank, gravel or corduroy road with no steep hills our farmers will be able at all seasons of the year to haul their produce to town. A road such as this is to be will i n crease the value of the farms on and near this road from fifty to a hund red per cent. When the advanta ges of this road is seen it Ts-ill be easier to build good roads in other parts of the County. Good roads is a' bigger inducement to bring new peoplo into the county than any other thing, and until we have them our county will always be be hind other counties in development. What makes lnnd values so high in Tillamook county? .Is it that the land is more productive? We think not. It is simply that the county has good roads, miles and miles of them. We are going to have good roads in this county, too, and this Siletz road will be the beginning. Several land cases have been heard before County Clerk Ira Wade at the courthouse last week and this. Special Agent II. T. Jones has appeared for the Government. Ben Jones, Col. Robert A. Miller of Portland, and others have been defending the homesteaders. The cases are all contest cases wherein the Government has contested the right of the entryman to the land, and most if not all the cases are practically farces. This is par ticularly true in the case of U. S. vs. Willis L. Johnson, and shows what little respect Uncle Sam some times shows toward the meek and lowly homesteader who is, usually, honeBtly trying to secure a home. Mr. Johnson's homestead is in Till amook County, his witnesses, of I course, are all residing in Tilla mook county, but the Government forced Mr. Johnson to come some thing like one hundred and thirty miles to this county to fight for his rights. What reason or justice is there in Laving this man go to all this un- necessary expense of bringing his witnesses this long distance to testi fy in his case. Why would it not have been better to have taken the case to the landoflice in Portland, which is closer than Toledo, or to Tillamook where it belonged, or to some other county seat closer than this place? What justice, what sense is there in such monkey business? Waldport Items. Warm rain and wind on the 14 removed what little snow that re mained in this locality. Leslie Evens left on the 13th for Portlant to take a position offered him by a hardware house. I Rev. R. Z. Brown who has been I assisting Rev. Guynn in the church i work here, departed on Monday for his home in Philomath. Last night and today we are hav ing the hardest blow, and the high est tide we have had this winter. Dick Evens so far as we have heard has the largest pot shot of ducks for this season, bagged 12 fine Sprigs with one barrel and raised the score to 17 before the bird nt, ont of reach. I What was supposed to be a tele phone meeting was held on the 16. ; Voted to raise Capital Stock, and instructed the Secretary to make j necessary application to the Secre tary of the State. But on looking up the law on what was necessary , for him to do he found that the whole proceedings were illeagul and ' refused to proceed further. Real Estate Transfers.
