We predict that Al Waugh will get the solid vote of the Democrats In Lin coln County. Tha Leader calls the attention of the Republican voters of Lincoln County to the fact that one week from today is primary day, and that Lincoln County for the first time in its history has a favorite son a candidate for the most important office in the State. Hon. B. F. Jones is a candidate for Secretary of State, and at this writing looks like a sure winner, but It is up to Lincoln County to show its appre ciation of the advertising we have re ceived from his candidacy, ana also for his work on the Roosevelt High way. The election of Jones to the office of Secretary of State would do more to put Lincoln County on the map than all the advertising our com mercial clubs can get out in the next your. Certainly after all the work Jones did for the Roosevelt Highway, which means so much for our county, we will not neglect the opportunity of further boosting our county by giving him practically the unanimous vote of the Republican electors of this county. The Leader does not believe that there is a Republican voter in the county, but Is for Jones, but. the danger is in the stay at home vote, and wa take this opportunity of urging every lie nni.iir.nn vntor tn miike a special effort to get to the polls next Friday, and see that your bullot is property mai n ed tor 13.

We also publish an article written by Jay W. Dunn. Our readers can read both ana men araw their own conclusions. The Leader favors the building oi a thn river to Drovide an ,,h,.i fnr tiio anuth half of the county. The location of the Corvallis-Newport highway is another matter, ana as ii was left up to the State Highway rmtinission to decide, we are willing to abide by their choice. There are many places in tne county .uhoro tmn nni rraild be BDent to good advantage, but, where shall we make the start? D. E. FLETCHER Republican Candidate for Representa tive Of the IZtn LHStrici comprising Lincoln and Polk Counties. in making this announcement, being a stranger to many of you, I wish to state: That I was born on a farm in the State of Missouri, January tn, 1071; whom 1 nrnnired Rome little knowledge of farming and Farming People, also their neeas; i attenaea Missouri Valley College for six years, and came west in 1898, was engaged In the Banking business Ih the State of Washington for the period of etgrot years before coming to Oregon. Grad uated from Willamette College of Law, Salem, Oregon, In 1915, and have been actively engaged in the practice of law at Independence, Polk County, since that time, and have made good.

I earnestly ask the support of the Republican voters of my District at the May prircary, and when nominated Hiid elected v." office of representative, I will assure you that the duties of your trust will be faithfully guarded.

But higher education In Ore gon Is in great danger. The State University and the Agricultural Col lege have twice as many students as they have income to tram. . Protect these Schools and their great work by voting on May 21 for the Higher Education relief aiearure.

WANT BRIDGE AND HIGHWAY Elk City, Oregon, May 11, 1920. To the Voters of Lincoln County: We are writing you tn regard to the NewportJCorvallis highway and that certain portion thereof I t" ween the towns of Ohltwood, Elk City and To ledo. At the coming elction to be held on May 21, 1920, there will be on the ballot for the voters' approval a mea sure providing for the issuance of $100,000 In road, bonds. The sum of money realized by the sale of these bonds will be used in the construction of the road between Elk City and To ledo, upon a water grade along the south side of the Yaquina river, and for the construction of a bridge across the Yaquina river at Toledo. There are two routes that might be followed for the highway between Chit wood and Toledo, one being practically the present route over Pioneer moun tain. The disadvantages in this route are that It s Tves very few people and the grade Is steep, with many sharp and dangerous curves, evidenced by the many accidents that have occured thereon during the past three years. The people residing on This route now have a fair road to travel; but the other route, which we recommend and ask your approval of by favoring the issuance of the bonds at the coming election, would have a water grade, with the exception of one small hill. This proposed route opens up for development practically the entire south part of Lincoln County, now al most entirely undeveloped, and from which the people at Elk City, Harlan, and all those living upon the Big Elk River, would have access to the hlgn way, otherwise denied them. In ad dition, this route will provide an out let to the highway and to the county seat of this county for the people re siding in Beaver Creek, Waldport, Al sea. Yachats and Drift Creek. The district, opened up by the con struction of the road by the way of Elk City and the building of the bridge comprises some 60,000 acres, having a present population of about 400 people; 18,000 acres, or nearly on'3 ' third of the land is suitable for culti vation. During the past yeais, over one-third of this land has been home steaded and abandoned for the reason that it was impossible for these people to market their products on account of either no roads or roads so poor that they could, not be traveled. At present the valuation of the property in this district is $445,000, which would be trebled by the building of this road as favored by this club. The extra taxes t realized from this increased valuation would more than pay the Interest and principal upon the bonds. The people residing in this district have supported, by their vote and by taxes, each road project and other im provement carried on In this county without heretofore asking any aid. The people of this district feel that, in asking the voters of Lincoln county to support this measure, they are not asking them to spend one dollar oi their own money, but simply, to lend their faith and credit. Yours truly, Elk City Commercial Club. WHAT $100,000 MIGHT DO Editor of the Leader: I see you are recommending the vot ing of $100,000 for the building of the road up the river to Elk City and the bridge at Toledo. The State Highway Commission after sending their surveyors over each route, have selected the Simpson Creek route for the reason that it is byfe miles shorter and probably $300,000 cheaper to construct. This should 'be sufficient reason to defeat the measure. We gain nothing by trying to overrfle the Highway Commission and may lose a great deal by being too conten tious. The statement that the added prop erty value derived from the building of this bridge would take care of the interest on the bonds is absurd. The entire assessed value of all the land south of the Yaquina and north of the Alsea Bay, including South Beach and Seal Rocks Resort, is only a little over $600,000. No one will claim this bridge will accommodate South Beach. There is a great deal of camouflage in this bridge bond. The intent is to change the road up the river, regard less of the added cost of construction. I hold that it is not fair to other parts of the county to Bpend any more than is absolutely necessary to complete the road from Newport to the Benton county line. The low bid on the grad ing of the road from Toledo to Newport was a little over $10,000 a mile, using as much of the old road as possible, in fact, they do leave the old right ot way only in three places for short distances. Compare this with the building of nine miles of new grade up the river plus the cost of the bridge. I do not think $100,000 will build the bridge. Let us Bee what this amount of money might do expended in some other locality, just a much in need, and Just as much Isolated as Elk City. $100,000 would connect Salmon River with Tillamook county, would graae and rock a road the entire length of Salmon River . It would probably grade a road from the mouth of Si lets Bay to Salmon River, distance being 13 miles and easy construction. It would grade and rock the road from Euchre Creek to the head of tide on Siletz river. It would grade and rock a road from Harlan to Turn Turn, thus giving 'the Big Elk an outlet to the Corvallis-Newport Highway. It would grade and rock the road from Oenzer down Five Rivers to the Alsea highway and then some. It would widen and rock the road the entire length ot the Yachats river. It would do wonders expended on the coast road from Si letz Bay to Newport. None of these communities are served either by rail or water as is Elk City, and Elk City has Just as good wagon road as any of them. The Alsea forest road, when com pleted, will serve the south end of the county. Tne uorvauis-iNewport road will serve the central part of the county. Are we to continue ignoring the north end of the county, denying thom any consideration at all because they are few in number and claiming every thing for ourselves because wo are many? As a matter of fuiruess, the north end of the county should have at least two-thirds of any future bond issue voted in this couuty. I am in sympathy with those wanting the bridge, but think It bad policy to at tempt to change the route as selected by the State Highway Commission at its meeting February 5th. We will accomplish better results, present and future, If we work in har mony with the commission. Or shall We scrap their disinterested decision? If all parts of Lincoln County are so well provided with good roads that they feel able to spend $100,000 on 3,000 feet of a trestle and bridge, so bo it. The answer rests with you. J. W. Dunn.
