The management of the Lead--er
takes this opportunity o,
thanking all its readers and sup
porters, :or their patronage and
soon w;i. during tae past year,
and to wish you one and all a
happy and prosperous 1917. It
has always been our aim to give
the news correctly, and give it
first if possible. That the peo
rle appreciate our efforts has
,been more than demonstrated by
i tho loyal manner in which they
have stood by us during the past
two years of dull times, in this
county. A number of papers
over the state have been forced,
by reason or the high cost of
printing materials,, to reduce the
size of their paper, but we will
never do this when our subscrib
ers are standing by us so loyally.

Some of the disgruntled pa
pers of the state of Oregon are
worrying themselves sick by rea
son of the high cost of publishing
delinquent taxes, now as this
cost is added to the delinquent
ones taxes as a penalty, and is
paid by him and not by the tax
payer who pays his taxes before
they become delinquent, we can
not see the cause for worry.
And again this cost for said pub
lication, in Lincoln county, never
costs the said dol'nquent tax
payer to exceed twenty cents on
any piece cf property.

ARGUMENT FOR ;
STATE TEXT BOOKS
The State already has a print
ing office where elementary text
uooj:s could be printed.
The state has normal schools
and pays big salaries to persons
wno can prepare the texts.
The state has textbook com
mission that could make all the
necessary arrangements.
the state already has state
uniformity and prints tons of
reports that a' e not read.
The state wastes thousands of
dollars on reports of officials
that no one reads.
The state would be adding no
new department but would sup
ply text books at cost.
The state now through Its
boards and commissions loads
down the poorer people who
have most children with costly
textbooks.
The Bmaller elementary text
books could be furnished at half
the cost of present books.
Many states are doing this
and saving the people hundreds
of thousands of dollars.

THE TITLE SCALPER'S
CHANCE
The county clerks and county
commissioners or the state, as
sembtol in convention in Port
land have gone on record as fa
voring abolishment of the iub
lished delinquent tax list. They
say tho delinquent property own
er can be notified much more
cheaply by mail.
No doubt the tax title mer
chant, who in the old days be
fore publication of tho delin
quent list enjoyed rather fat
pickings around the court
houses of Oregon, will .fully
agree with them. Omitting to
mail out a notice on a coveted
bit of delinquent property Is v
simple matter, and could easily
be arranged. Blips will occur,
even the best regulated offices,
and of course such an omission
could always be charged up to
a slip. Then the tax title mer
chant would have his opportun
ity. Publication of the delinquent
tax list was abandoned in Ore
gon verr! years nro, but the
results were of such a nature
that the public soon demanded
n. return to the former system.
This will be the result again If
publication is abolished. Eu

TOLEDO TIES SILETZ
Sunday on Siletz gridiron, on
a very rough field Toledo bat
tled with Siletz in a hotly con
tested game of football.
Toledo, light but fast, met
every charge directed by the
heavy Warriors. The game -started
off with Toledo kicking
to Siletz. Siletz making fierce
attacks through the Toledo line.
Their charging tore holes in the
line like a howitzer. The Tole
do team had not got fired up un
til Siletz had battered end
pounded their line, making yard
age, at will, to within a few feet
of the goal. The husky war
riors then sent another 42 centi
meter shot into the front rank
of the Toledoites for tha first
touchdown, also kicking' goal.
Score. Siletz 7, Toledo 0.
.The rooting of the fans after
this reached such a height; that
time wass called frequently to
quiet the crowd.
Second half: Toledo pulled
herself together and not to bs
outdone by her husky warriors
opponents, pounded them for
repeated gains. Many passea
were attempted but were Inter
rupted. Then a fake punt net
ted Toledo 30 yards, "Cannon"
carrying the ball. Then Carson
tore around right end for a 2
yard run which was interrupted
by umpire Casey getting in Car
son's track, otherwise he had a
clear field for a touchdown. Ref
eree Lane offered to nurse Ca
sey, inquiring as to the extent
of his injury, if any.
Plucky Ne!s, center for Tole
do, in scooping up the ball on a
run, was being tackled, and the
timely aerial leap of Billy Volk,
head on with arms outstretched,
pel-mel into the warrior with
deadly effect, undoubtedly sav
ing Nels from Injury.
Finally with a line plunge by
McMillan and "Cannon," then a
forward pass, Carson to "Stur
dy," netting 15 yards, brought
the ball within striking distance
of the goal. For a while Toledo
nlayed together as clock work,
but soon became ragged with
more pounding through Silstz
line. Carson soon placed the
oval over the line for the first
touchdown for Toledo, later
kicking a perfect goal at a dif
ficult angle, with only 40 seconds
to complete the quarter. End
third quarter, Siletz 7, Toledo 7.
Siletz klced off, To)edo run
ning ball back. A forward pass
Carson to McMillan, netting a
good gain, a long end run by
"Sturdy," soon put the ball close
to the goal. A forward pass was
made across the line for another
touchdown but was disallowed
on account of offside play. To
ledo was penalized ten yard3 for
offside play, then a series of hard
line bucking and a completed
pass, Carson to Ofstedahl, netted
the required gain, but was
thrown back for a loss. Siletz
punted out of danger. Whistle
blew ball resting on five yard
line.
Archie Lane, the all-Northwest,
non-conference, halfback
of Chemawa, was Injured In the
middle of the game, as well as
"Porky" Jones, who stayed out,
being unable to finish.
Clyde McMillan's spirals.
were the feature ot the
game averaging 45 yards. The
field was dry and free of mud.
The game was a fight to the
finish and all of the boys have a
tender spot, and are each being
attended with a nurse. All will
be In readiness next Sunday for
the last game of the year.
