AN IRRITABLE, fault finding disposition is often
due to a disordered stomach. A man with good
digestion is nearly always good natured. A
great many have been permanently cured of stom

of suffering. These tablets strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions naturally.

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

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.
