that have been engaged almost entirely
in lumber and trees for the o. P.
railway.
The town of Toledo under the pro-
prietorship OF Joseph Graham has re-
Gently been laid out, and lots are be-
ing rapidly disposed of. Toledo is situ-
ated on the east bank Of Depot slough
near its mouth and is accessible for all
vessels that can come into the bay.
Joseph Graham and G. J. Bishop &
Co., are the proprietors of the two
general stores, and John Graham is
keeping the only hotel. DIR. H. H.
Rich is located at Toledo and practices
up and down the bay. There is here
a school house where has been kept .

with any in the country, the, situations
of teachers being very fortunate. The
one posto6ice is situated at Toledo and
is supplied by water three times week
being on the ronte from Corvallis to
Newport, and is the point for supplies
and mail for the Siletz reservation.

The Voice of the Trimmer.

"Don't NEEDLE with the tariff again,
unless you wish to split the party"
says the democratic trimmer. In re-
ply, we say the tariff issue is the great
overshadowing issue before the people,
and it is all issue which the democratic
party must meet. The party that
lodges it invites defeat and deserves to
be split. But how about the republic
can party: Is no; that party divided
upon the tariff question The New
York Times, New York Post, Albany
journal, Chicago Tribune, Buffalo Ex-
press, to say nothing of scores Of re-
publican newspapers representing in
telligent constituencies in the rural
districts of the west, are decidedly OPP
posed to high tariff system, and as
decidedly in favor of a genuine reform
and reduction in tariff duties. The
fact is, the great mass of the demo-
cratic party and very respectable
following in the republican party de-
mand this reform. For every man
who will fall out of the democratic
ranks, when the democratic party
shows q determination to stand by its
pledges on the tariff question, ten re-
publicans will step in. The democrtic
party must not attempt to keep time to
the old republican music. The party
that wins in 1884 will be the party
that vigorously fights against e. essive
taxation, which is just what comes
from this old war tariff.--Boeton Post.
