Always been the leading newspaper ;
in the county and we hope it always
will be. It has always been as now
a local news paper, aiming to give
the news of the entire county at all
times, and as far as the managers
of the paper were able this has been
done.
The Leader was launched out in
the field on March 9, 1893, by J.
F. Stewart, who conducted it as a
Democratic paper for over four
years. Then C. L. Gowell

It will be the aim of the Leader
during the coming year to be even
better than ever before. It desires
to bo sit every home in the county
Jind its management realizes that to
succeed it must hold its reputation

The Legislature has adjouned.
Jnow we must all get busy to make
money to pay next years' taxes.

much better to have it now than

an early Spring and a good Summer.
The great fleet of battleships ar
rived at Hampton Roads Monday,
thus ending their cruise around the
world. Now it seems to us. the
proper thing for the Government to
ilo after the repairs are made on
the vessels would be to send some
of them back to the Pacific to
remain.
Toledo has needed a band for a
longtime." Now we have one, a
pretty good one, too. The boys
have worked faithful'y in organiz
ing the band and it has taken con
siderable time and work to practice.
It is no' joke to make and keep a
band together, and . the boys who
compose this band are entitled to
much praise for their public spirit
in this work. It isn't often that
the people in Toledo will slight any
thing that is for the publio eood.
but we believe we are entitled to a
mild roast for the manner in which
. the band's first concert last Satur
day evening was patronizedor
rather, not patronized. It was un
doubtedly an oversight on the part
nf our people, but anyway, the con
cert was a fizzle financially, and we
re to blame for it. The band boys
njUBt feel the slight. Let some
dinky traveling show com to town
arid they will have a $40 or $50
house. The band concert got a $19
bouse
and in summer the cool northwest
wind is like the cool draught from
an open door. In- its might the
old ocean dashes in some places
against a rockbound coast, and in
others the sea goes murmuring and
splashing over sandy shores
Thousands of tourists come every
summer to enjoy the luxuries we
have to offer.
Newport is the principal resort
of this county, where tourists can
find the finest surf bathing, boat
ing, hunting, fishing and digging
clams and rock oysters which are
found in only one other place on
the globe. Nature uncovers her
agate beds, and you can find the
beautiful moss agate, water agate,
moonstone, cat eye, tiger eye, the
diamond agate, and many others.
Such is Lincoln County from the
dreamy ones' or tourists', stand
point. Now, for some facts for the
practical man.
We will take the farmer first, for
from the farm we all derive our liv
ing, and our clothing'. The Lincoln
County farmer, first, lives in a
semi-tropical country, therefore
can raise anything that can be rais
ed in a temperate zone, and many
things that can be raised in a
country much farther south. Here
potatoes, onions, peas, carrots, par
snips, and in fact all vegetables,
grow to an immense size. , Here
cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine,
poultry, etc., are successfully raised
and sell at fancy prices. Also is
this true of fruit such as apples.
pears, cherries, peaches and berries
of all kinds. All these things sell
at touriBts" prices.
The climate is pleasant and
healthful and free from contagious
diseases such as smallpox, diphthe
ria, and the fevers. In fact, itjs
truly a health resort as well as a
summer resort, and more people are
coming to stay through the winter
than ever before. We have already
good sanitary baths located here.

10 to 15 cents per pound, butter 35

Now is the time
to visit-
California
When " Summer has . passed
in these northern states, the
the sun is only mild under
the bright blue 6kies of
Southern California. This
is one of nature's happy pro
. visions eternal summer for
those who cannot endure a
more severe climate.
California has been called
the "Mecca of the winter
tourist. Its hotels and stop
ping places are as varied as
those of all well regulated
cities. Visitors can always
find sutiable accomodations,
congenial companions, and
varied , pleasing recreations.

dozen, chickens 50 to 75 cents each.
Berries and vegetables bring good
prices, and while everything the
farmer sells is a good price, the
things he has to buy aie as cheap
as at any place.
The land is of a rolling character,
and is well watered with never fail
ing springs and creeks. Almost
any kind of grain will grow here
without irrigation. Some of the
land is what we call tide land, and
when dyked is the richest land in
the world.
Next we will speak of the manu
facturers to whom we extend specia
advantages. Here are the gigantic
forests from which any number o:
manufacturers could find material
to run for 100 years. There could
come to us the sawmill man, then
the manufacturer of furniture
boxes, staves and barrels, alcohol
charcoal, tar, paper, veneer, and
the innumerable things that can be
made of wood. Then the canneries
of fruit, fish, meat and vegetables
the dryeas, the tanneries and boot
and shoe manufactories and many
other will do well here, for land is
cheap and taxes low and transport
ation facilities-ample. We will tell
about them in another space.
The forest contains many differ
ent kinds of wood and large quant
ities of each. . There is the fir,
which is the moBt common and al
most equal to pine, the spruce
which is a softer wood, a little
harder than the Eastern basswood :
the hemlock, which is a hard-grain
ed wood; the alder, which is a hard
wood and takes a beautiful polish :
the vine maple, which is as hard as
oak; then the chittem, from which
large quantities of hark is peeled
annualy for medicinal purposes.
We will try and tell of some
things that can be done here with
small capital. One can acquire a
small farm. Land can be bought
for from $15 to 130 per acre unim
proved land and from $25 to $50
for improved. It can be bought in
any quantity you wish so that the
size of your farm is only measured
by the amount of money you wish
to invest. A few lots turned into
a chicken ranch pay well, or any
other fowl is equally profitable, A

small place set to strawberries,
raspberries, Logan berries, or plant
ed to vegetables pays well, or a
little money in the fishing business;
in hotels, cottages, stores, laundry
or almost anything that you want
to engage in will prove a winning
proposition. Lincoln County is
bound to go ahead, Those who
come here first will recieve the
lion's share of the profits to be reap
ed. Some are planting orchards of
walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, etc.
It has been proven that they do
well here. A few dollars

any kind of business is overdone.
