Friday, Junk ta, 1903.
The Nuccct owes an apology to
its readers. Last week it said
something about the county court
eommcncinir the construction of a
new wooden bridee across the
Coast lfork, in this city. When
you come to town this week or
later, we shall not b atuo you if,
when vou view the bridce, you
deliberately accuse this paper of
lying to you about tuc bridge. 1 lie
fact of the matter is we did lie,
not willfully, but through a mis
understanding. Hence this apology
with the view of getting ourselves
straightened out in the estimation
of the readers of the Nugget. At
the time the paper stated that a new
bridge was being built, we were
informed that the county court had
ordered a new bridge and that it
would be finished without delay.
The fact of the matter is it is the
old weatherbeaten, unsafe, ram
sackle bridge rebuilt with the old
cover torn away, so that the good
people of this section of Lane
county could say it was mi open
bridge. The people of this vicinity
leel that of all the dirty, mean con
temptible insults that was ever
heaped upon a community, the)
present county court of Lanecounty i
lias takcu the premium m tuc mat
ter of fixing upon the people of
this section of the county, this old
wornout wooden structure, the
looks of which causes us t refrain
from calling a "bridge," out of
respect for several very respectable
bridces which have been erected in
other sections of the county. The
members of the county court just
hording of a few dumb dollars.
Now that there is still a disposition
on the part of a selfish number of
school electors to restrict cuuea
tionnl facilities to a six months
term annually it behooves every
liberal minded voter to go to the
polls on Monday next and see to it
by his ballot that our public school
is kept open for the full nine
months term.
Occasionally one hears some one
speak disparagingly of their town
or of their neighbors. Did it ever
occur to one. who is thus inclined,
that no town nor neighborhood
holds a string upon one? Is it not
a fact that if something has hap
pened in our private afTairs that
causes us to be a little sore at some
locality or at some one, that we
can ect up and rack out? If the
people are down on you to the ex
tent that it is noticeable to you, it
is a pretty good sign that there is
something wrong with you, and the
sooner you give yourself a thor
ough inspection and find out what
is the matter with you, the better
will be your future chances. When
you hear a man cursing the town in
which he lives and the people with
whom he comes in daily contact,
you are certainly listening to a
man who is almighty unpopular
and whom you should regard with
suspicion.
Thus far nothing has been said
regarding a Fourth of July celebra
tiou. If we are to celebrate the
matter should be taken up at once.

O. W. Hurd, one of the leading
merchants of Florence, was in Ku
jrene this week in the interest of
before election look with longing the Siuslaw Harbor, and according
eves and count noses in all serious- to the Guard is authority for the
ness in this community. It is not
' necessary for them to do so a year
from now. This end of the county
has had the worst of it since the
tection of old man Kincaid to the
county judgeship. He is such a
penurious, narrow-minded old chap,
that he cannot overlook anything,
and simply because this end of the
county happened to be the home of
a candidate for county judge, and
because that candidate was liber
ally supported at home, the old
man down there, who at his age
should be content at home in the
"slippered pantaloon", in place of
following:
"I am on a trip just now inter
esting the commercial bodies of
Portland and Eugene ill-using their
influence with our congressional
delegation at Washington to secure
government aid for the Siuslaw

San Francisco for the same pur

burdening the taxpayei, has had j Lumber aud .Navigation Company,
his knife- out for Cottage Grove,
and now he heaps insult upon in
jury by cobbling over the old
bridge. From an economic view it
is a failure from start to finish.
Surrounding the bridge are many
wooden buildings, and once fire
which is near completion, will cut
50,000 feet daily; the Florence
Lumber Company mill's has a
capacity of 20,000 feet; the Siuslaw
Lumber Company, which recently
enlarged and improved their prop
erty, is getting out 60,000 feet
breaks out this old wooden bridge ( daily; M. K. Saubert & Company
will go too. There is one conso- at Acme, are adding 25 000 feet
lation. It is so old and rotten,
even now, in its alleged newness,
that it will not last long. The
sooner it falls down the better.
We have always desired an un
covered bridge here. Under the
present condition, it would be to
our interest as a fairly progressive
and' energetic community to pe
tition the "Honorable County
Court" to cover it up as soon as
possible, that we may keep it from
public -view.
It will not cost the "economic"
aud "honorable" body much
money to put the old cover backon.
It is a rotten mess, perpetrated by
as bum a county court as ever held
office.
The attention of each and every
one of our citizens who have the
welfare of this growing city at
heart is called to the school election
to be held at the school house on
Monday next at 2 o'clock for the
election of a school director. At
first sight this does not look like
an important matter. It is under
stood that there is a movement on
foot to limit the next school year
to a six mouths term. It hardly
seems possible that, after the bitter
experience this town went through
one year ago. there should be any
considerable following of narrow
minded people here, but such is the
stern fact. It seems almost incred
ible that for the sake of a few
paltry dollars in the taxation
enough votes could be had to
block the wheels of education, hut
such will be the case if the more
enterprising and broader minded
citizens of this common wealth fail
to take the interest in this school
election which will command their
presence there. Nine months of
school is little enough. There ore
now over 410 pupils in atteudence
and the next school year will in
crease that number, for additions
nre made with every family that
conies here to locate and new
comers are being addtd to this
community at a rapid rate. One
of the very first requirements the
heads of families coming among
UhjiiiMst upon is ample school facili

ruotit unenviable light and many
would-be settlers gave us ( lie go by
and cast their lot in other towns
where education was above the
every day to this output, llns
makes a total of 155,000 feet of
lumber cut daily on the harbor.
"In addition to this we have two
salmon canneries, creameries, the
finest apples in the world, potatoes
by the thousand of bushels, and
other farm produce ready for the
markets which cannot be reached
without a sufficient ship service.
"It is to the interests of both
Poitland and San Francisco to see
that we have better harbor con
veniences. We do all our shipping
business at present with San Fran
cisco, but if a greater depth is
obtained on the bar, no doubt Port
land will put on a line of vessels
which will call at Florence, thereby J
securing a part of our trade for 1
that city. At present the depth of
water on the bar varies from 10 to j
12 feet, but we ought to have 16 1
or 18 feet, which can be secured'
with proper jetty work.
"Eugene being the County seat
of Lane, would also reap great
benefit from being the inland city,
the main station connecting the
country beyond with the sea.
SHIPS TO BR built. .
"I am going to build two ships
each with capacity of 35,000 feet of
lumber," continued Mr. Hurd.
"This will be done next year. An
other ship that I know of will also
be built."
The Siuslaw river is Lane
county's outlet to the sea. It is a
beautiful river, and runs through
one of lbs most fertile valleys in
Oregon. The people who- have
cast their lot in Western Lane
pollute ntp a sttirilv. entornrisinc I
and progressive class. Salmon
canneries and sawmills have been
erected along the river, and for
years to come immense bodies of
the finest growth of Oregon fir will
seek an outlet to the markets of the
world through the mouth of the
Siuslaw. The harbor is deserving
of the serious consideration of the
Oregon delegation.
A reporter had occasion to visit
Mosby creek valley this week. The
creek is one of the prettiest in the
state, aud is an ideal trout stream.
While the valley is not very wide,
still there are many good ranches.
It is a splendid stock country, and
the soil is very productive.
J. I). Parmer, has n splendid
ranch about fourteen miles up the
creek. Mr. Parmer has lived thctc
ten years, having commenced at
the cry beginning, split the lum
ber for his home out of the trees,
grubbed his land as he used it, and
now has a splendid field under cul
tivntiou. His stand of oats this
year cannot be surpassed in Lane
county. He raises all of the garden
stuff required by the family and
supplies many campers during the
season. Mr. Parmer has a bunch
of young stock growing into twenty
dollars gold pieces while he sleeps,
and he feels, and is, and has n
right to be. as independent as a
hog on ice. He has commenced at
the beginning and cleared up a
good ranch. He looks about him
and sees the result of his handiwork.
He views with contentment his
growing herds. He breathes the
pure mountain air, and can look
upon the puuey, scraggy, sallow
office hireling, who once or twice
in the year ventures into the
country for a day or two, with im
punity.
S. K. Lewis is opening up a fine
ranch ad joining Mr. Parmer. He
has already erected a snug house,
cleared up a good "truck" patch,
slashed a flue meadow, and has
some grass started.
The Walt llaker ranch is one
mile above Mr. Parmer, and there
you will find the genial Walt as
large as in real lift. . At present
Mr. and Mrs. Raker are camping
out while alt is putting in all
kinds of good time erecting a cotn-
jfortable dwelling, which they ex
pect to occupy this week. Mr.
Baker has a good ranch and has
only recentlv removed there from
this city, having become tired of
town, and will now engage in the
stock business.
One of the important enterprises
on Mosby creek is the Cottage
Grove Lumber Co's mill, about five
miles out. The company is hardly 1
a year old, yet some very impor-:
taut and substantial improvements'
have been made. At present tlielJJ
mill has n capacitv of about 10,000
feet. The dam has been rebuilt
and at present the company d-ij
pends entirely upon water power,
but steam will be added later this ,
season. Several residences have ' JJ
been erected for the families of those 1
employed at the mill, besides a 1
large cook and bunk house. The i JS
company owns some splendid tim-'J
ber, and has many thousand feet of
prime lumber in the yard. "
