Irwin Smith, of Big Elk, who
sent TO Missouri some two months
ago for a wife and secured one i'll
the person of Mrs. +. Little, did
not prosper largely in the matrimo-
NAL line, the welded pair being
now separated. The bride is now
washing dishes in Corvallis hotel

You people who have pinned
your faith to Lincoln county need
not be discouraged. Times are no
worse with you than they
are with other parts of the state or
the United States. And the bright
er future, which is surely dawning,
holds a fuller measure of fruition Of
hopes for you than for many other
parts Of our country, The times
will not always stay hard; the
American people are too full of re-
sources to always stay down; and
the recovery will correspond in
height TO the depth in which we
are now struggling.
The editor made trip to the
valley last week, and found bust
ness more depressed, if possible,
than here. There was lots of
wheat going to the mills and ele-
vators, but most of it is being
stored, and what is selling only
brings from 43 to As cents per
bushel, and at that price there is
not much danger of the farmers be-
coming bloated capitalists. Hop
picking has not yet begun and will
not until some time next week, but
the country was thronged with idle
men waiting for that work to be-
gin.
There is brighter future for the
newer and undeveloped portions of
the Pacific coast than any other
part of the whole country. The
east is full of people who have been
living on rented lands, or in towns
and villages, and whose ewes are
longingly turned toward the west
with its promise of cheap homes.
With the recovery Of times, when
such parties can at ali dispose of
tkeir belongings in the east, there
will be such a tide of immigration
set to the Pacific coast as was nev-
er before known, They will come
and settle on our sunny hillsides
and in our fertile valleys. They
will till our soil, make lumber of.
our timber, make homes among us
and help us to develop the grandest
ever given to man by an
all-wise Providence.
