She arrived Friday night and left

The boat took away ths remainder
of this year's crop of prunes,
amounting to thousands of pounds.
Many of the local prune men are
feling quite jolly, as they have all
received the money for their pro
duct. The prune business this
year was a very fair paying propo
sition. Hon. Wallis Nash addressed the
citizens of this community at the
court house Saturday evening.
While the meeting was hastily ar
ranged and little opportunity was
had to advertise it, the court house
was comfortably filled. Mr. Nash's
effort was scholarly, and his
handling of the various subjects
marked the student rather than the
exhorter. Reason, not prejudice,
was appealed to, and the audience
put on its thinking cap and kept it
there during the evening. This
was Mr. Nash's last speech of the
campaign, and he returned home
Mondav after an absence of three
weeks.

said to offend the most ardent
Bryan man, and if there were any
suDDorters of the Nebraskan in the
audience they gave the speakers re
snectful hearing and joined the re
publicans in having a good time.
Short addresses were made by
Messrs. J. B. Irvine, C. E. Wood
son an d Geo. L. Paul, and numer
ous selections were rendered by the
nuartet. Messrs. Johnson, Pnchard
Colvig and Baker. Indications
are that Fairmount precinct will
be carried by the republicans this
election.
Land Grants to be Opened.
Mr. Wallis Nasli was in Cor
vallis, Saturday, and was pre
vailed upon to deliver ths last
address of the campaign at the
court house in the evening. Mr.
Nash's home is at Nashville,
Oregon,
last t FVO
He says that in the
years there have been
iooo new settlers located in Lin
coln county.
"The connty is having a mar
velous growth, from io to 20
new people arriving every day.
They are mostly Scandinavians
from Minnesota and Wisconsin,
and they make the best kind of
settlers. There is but little
government land which has not
been taken up by this time. All
of the good timberland has been
located on, but agricultural land
can be bought at a low figure.
The new settlers 're for the
most part going into dairying
and stockraising, and they are
clearing up the laud at a great
rate. One thing of importance
which has not been made public
to any extent is the fact that the
land grants en the Corvallis &
Eastern line are about to be
opened up, and the land placed
on the market. There are be
tween 70,000 and 80,000 and it
will sell all the way from $2 to
$4 an acre. It is all agricul
tural and grazing land, and much
of it can be used for orchards.
The fruit we have raised is of
the finest, and few of the ordi
nary diseases which bother the
orchardists are apparent. There
are no oodlin mohs on the
western slope, and the apples
are of the bests quality. There is
a laro tract of barren land be
tween that slope, and the Wil
lamette Valley, and the codlin
moihs have not crossed it." Mr.
Nash has a large stock ranch,
with which he has been doing
well. Steers were sold this year
for $40 that were not worth $22
four years ago.
Mr. Nash has been in Joseph
ine and Lane counties the past
two weeks, iu the interests of
the republican party, and says
the outlook is promising
for i
McKinley.
He savs the repub-
lican managers in Josephine
county hope to reduce the ma
jority of 350 which Bryan re
ceived in 1896. In Lane county
Mr. Nash visited fishermen and
loggers west from Eugene to
the coast, and says that at one
meeting of saw mill men,- at
tended by 50 persons, there were
only two of them who announced
their intention of voting for
Bryan. Everywhere he has vis
ited, it is reported that McKin
ley will receive an increased
vote.
Lee Wilkins.
Ihe funeral of Lee Wilkins oc
curred at the residence of his uncle,
N. Wilkins, in this city yester
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
services were conducted by Rev. F.
aik assisted by Dr. E. J. lhomp-
son.
Lee Wilkins, son of Jaspar Wil
kins, was born in this county 24
years ago. with nis parents ne

A Genuine Romance.
A New York dispatch of Novem
ber 1, says: Mrs. Ruth Maxham,
of Hartford, has just left for Leba
non, Oregon, where she will marry
Charles B. Green, a rich grocer
The marriage will end a romance
that began a half century ago.
When she was six years old, Mrs.
Maxham and Green an adopted
orphan, nine years of age, were
playmates. Ihe children were
reared together, and when Green
was 17, he asked the girl to marry
him. She lefused and married Mr.
Maxham. Green went to war, and
afterwards went West. Mr. and
Mrs. Maxham lived in Hartford for
35 years. Mr. Maxham died last
spring, and a letter from his widow
to the friend of her youth brought
an immediate offer of marriage, as
Green JS also a widower. Mrs
Maxham accepted, and left for his
home accordingly. The groom is
61 yaars old, and the bride 58. :

Editor Gazette: -permission
I would
-By your kind
like to say a
few words about those muddy,
rough rock crossings on Main street.
I shall offer what I consider a
reasonable suggestion: Take up
the rocks on those four crossings,
and sell them to some one who is
building for a foundation. They
are as good as new and would like
ly sell for money enough to pay
for the lumber to build good plank
crossings, ihese crossings should be
to 1 n i-
8 orl 0 feet wide and that they should
be put on a level with the sidewalks,
instead of a twelve inch jump down,
as is now the case on the corner at
Allen's drugstore.
I never could see any good rea
son why the sidewalks on Main
street should be ten feet wide, and
the crosswalks only a little over
three feet. It seams to me that
the sidewalks and crossings should
be of a uniform width.
I hope the council will take im
mediate action upon this matter,
as these rock crossings have been
very unsatisfactory from the be
ginning. An Old Citizen.

A Philipsine Soldier.
Arthur T. Peoco, a member of
Company M, 39th Regiment,
U. S. V., stationed at Santo
Thomas, Philippine Islands, has
written the following letter to
his parents, and it is published
in the Salem Statesman, as fol
lows: "Tha anti-expansionists at
home have simply ruined all
prospects of any peaceable ter
mination of the troubles here, at
least until after election. They
have discouraged our men and
encouraged our enemies. Even
admitting the sosndness of their
views, they are guilty of the
highest treason, and hundreds
of deaths must of necessity be
laid at their door. They (the
natives) have the greatest confi
dence in Mr. Bryan, and they
do not hesitate to tell us that as
soon as be is elected the soldiers
will be sent away and they will
run things to suit themselves.
1 'I was down at Calamba a
few days ago and saw a large
picture of Mr. Bryan stack up
on a native's hut. They all
firmly believa that ha will ba
elected in November, and they
also believe the anti-expansionists
are largely in the majority
in the United States. From
their point of view they can see
it in no other light.
"It makes me weary every
time I see in one of the States'
papers where some anti is shoot
ing his head off about these poor
downtrodden people over here,
and how they are being imposed
upon by the Americans, aud yet
these people who are doing all
the talking do not know any
more about the true aondition
of affairs in the islands than I
do about preaching a sermon.
In the first place they are better
off now than they were ever in
their lives before; have more
liberty and more to eat and are
making more money.
"What hurts us "most is what
the papers at home say about us.
What can we do? No soldier
can say for himself, 'This war is
not. right and I'll not fight.'
The majority of us will be glad
when we can return to civil life.
We are all tirad of it but wa can
not leave, tmtil there is a big
change in the situation. In the
meantime, we need encourage
ment, instead of being branded
as murderers, rebbers and des
peradoes. "I don't believe you will find
a man in the service here who
would be willing to give np
these islands. It keeps a fellow
guessing. I dont knw what to
make ot it. I have been a demo
crat all my life, and was always
a great admirer of Mr. Bryan,
but I cannot for the life of me
see how a man escientiously
oan be a follower of Bryan and
fight undor tha Stars and Strpes
at the same time."
