II. {. Wulfs new house is near
ing completion, and Is an ornament
to the town. Messrs. Dedriek and
Stanton were the contractors on il
and they have done a handsome
piece of work, The house presents
fine appearance from the road,
and speaks will for the enterprise
of its builder.
A bevy of handsome Toledo ladies
went out after blackberries one day
this week. With buckets and bas-
kets in hand they trudged up one
COW trail and down another, and,
as Is quite often the case, the larg-
est and best berries were just a
little further ahead. So they still
wendet their weary way through
brush and over logs in pursuit of
the berry that cheers but does not
inebriate. The trail kept getting
DINNER and DINNER until the
brightest of them had to admit that
if there ever had been a trail there
all signs of it was gone at that time.
After vainly trying to extricate
themselves from the mess they were
i'll, and failing they were about to
give up all hopes, when fortunately
horrid man came along and cut a
trail for them, so they could crawl
out on their hands and knees, and
50 they were rescued.
The stipulations sent out to the
court OF Benton county to settle the
differences between the two coun-
ties have been returned, but have
been so materially changed that for
Lincoln county to agree to them
would be to surrender almost every
right which she is now Invested
with. 1t looks as though it is no
use to longer in dnllying with the
officers of Benton county regarding
these matters, They have purpose
ly delayed and hindered the officers
of Lincoln county from the very in
ception of the county They have
collected taxes which belonged to
Lincoln county and knew they had
no right to such taxes when they
collected them, They certified to
a tax roll that was a mass of errors
from first to last, The fact is that
Lincoln county is not hunting any
law suit, but she does not propose
to have her rights trampled upon
nor have the adjustment of them
much longer delayed,
The Salem Statesman says, 1T
is Il we'll known fact that the big
Burlington route has surveyors
working as far west as Idaho, and
that their agents have been all over
| Oregon looking around; that they
are now extending their line this
way in Montana, and that they will
get an outlet to the deep water OF
the Pacific ocean in the next few
years. 1t is also known that the
Chicago x Northwestern is already
away ont in Wyoming, and that it,
