I 1 i i ; I VOLUME 18 TOLEDO, LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 4,1010. NUMBER 3 COUNTY NEWS Waldport. C. R. Evans has been up the Alsea looking after some logs for the Lumber Company. Antone Jensen came in on the 25th to look after some property he recently purchased. The C. J. Smith Realty Company . has moved its office so as to give Christen Jensen poseasion of the property the company formerly 'occupied. A one thousand candle power lamp lias been ordered for the band hall and will arrive in a few days. This will be a great improvement over the present lamps. The dance given in the dance hall Thursday evening was well attended. As the band progresses their music is very much appreciated. The masque ball given on the 22d was well attended and a success in every way. A large number of visitors came in from Newport and Tidewater and added to almost all of Waldport's population, they rilled the hall to overflowing. The band furnished the music. Finan cially the dancing club was consider ably ahead. The committee which attended the Port meeting at Newport came home with the report that the plan was unboubtedly defeated, as New port had quietly got busy with a petition to form a port of their own and thus had the County Port headed off.. The committee also ad vised that the residents of the Alsea form a port and thus be in a posi tion to derive -soine 'x'nefit from the immense body of timber- in the south end of the country. J. II. Glines circulated a petition and secured 34 names which is in ex cess of the number required by law to put the plan before the voters of the district. . The petition was then sent to the county court. The dis trict to be embraced in the port of Alsea is all that part of the county lying south of the township lines between townships twelve and and thirteen. The district will therefore be bounded by Benton County on the East and Lane County on the South. These port petitions may make it necessary for the County Court to readjust the precinct lines as in few cases "will the precinct lines correspond with the exterior limits of the ports, but in any case the law provides that the court must call the special election within certain limits as to time. The Alsea petition was filed Feb ruary 21th so we may expect an election sometime between April 15 and May 5th.

Editor Leader: We commend Toledo in their united effort for tho upbuilding of their town, and no one should find fault with any honest effort to make it the best town possible. We have no better authority than the Leader for the sentiment, that it is poor policy to attempt to build up a town at the expense of its neighbor. This is equally true of personal reputation. When ono judges of the motives of another, they usually apply their own stand ard of measurement. It is for the best interests of so ciety that the leople should not only take an interest in the public affairs of the county, but should express their opinions on such mat ters. The Leader has dono a good service to the county in discussim? its public affairs. Why then should I be censured and my motives mis represented, for expressing an opin ion, even if such opinion seems to be not in accord with some of tho people of Toledo? Does Toh-'.i claim a monopoly on private a:. I public opinion as well as nearly everything else in the county? I would not ask Toledo to inve us tho sawmills, because they belong to private companies, and if we would get them we would have to deal direct with these companies. I would not ask Toledo to give us tho county seat, hecouse it belongs to the whole county, and they have placed it at Toledo for a little while until they find a better place for it. I would not ask Toledo for the high school, because that is under the control of the County High School Board, and we feel sure they will put it in the right place for the kst interests of the county schools. I would not ask Toledo for any school or road district, because both of these matters are under the direction of the County Court, who will no. doubt divide these districts with reference to the interests of the whole county. There is no doubt hut that "To ledo is on the map," but she is rather premature in presuming to be the whole county, with such things as county seat, county high school and road districts to givo away.
