Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1894-02-01

Squire Hall and c. B. Crosno
are at the reservation this week on
business.
A very enjoyable social party
was held at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. A. R. Chapman last
Tuesday night.
Wesley Davis and Chas. Winant,
Of Newport, were in Toledo yester-
day viewing the sights. It is
rumored that Winant is candidate
for the republican nomination for
sheriff at the coming county con-
vention.
The state democratic committee
meets at Portland on ground hog
day-February end. 1t is said that
if they see Pennoyer's shadow
they will go back into their holes
and pull the holes in after them,
but If they do not they will stay
out till after the June election.
Whenever Van Cleve, or anyone
else says that we ever published a
legal notice in supplement, he,
she, or It lies. The LEADER has
never had but one supplement since
it has been started and that was
with the issue Of April 20, 1898.
But what has this got TO do with
present owner maps2
w. J. Wade, who was taken sick
at Portland while attending United
States court, III the capacity Of a
juryman, some weeks ago, Is eX-
pected home some time this week.
He had quite serious time Of it,
but is now on the road to recovery.
Assessor Parker and family
camped out for nearly a week last
summer i'll the vicinity of Nancy
Enos farm and iished and picked
blackberries and the county paid
him $500 per day for it, and in
spite of all his trouble and pains
Mrs. Enos' property so secreted
itself that he could not discover"
it, and so now he will have TO
discover" ii on percentage.
The tax roll for 1898 will soon
be in the hands of the sheriff for
collection. The new law makes
radical change in the matter of the
collection of taxes. BY its pro-
visions all taxes are collected by
the sheriff and one receipt Is given
for all. Hereafter when you get
the sherif's receipt you are safe for
chat year. The taxes are also pay
able at the court house,
AS a hostess of hotel, Mrs.
Buford proves herself TO be quite
equal TO any emergency which may
arise. Last Friday evening after a
O'Clock the Odd Fellows ordered
supper for the members and visitors
for that night. 1t must be admitted
chat the Toledo market is rather
limited, but the suppe, that was
served TO about forty that night did
not indicate such a condition. 1t
was plentiful and well prepared,
and reflects credit upon Mrs.
Bulord's $ efforts.
Parker and his gang have re-
peatedly asserted that the law COM
PEELED The assessor 20 make a
present owner map. This we deuy,
and defy them TO point out the law.
But it does demand that the assessor
truly, faithfully and correctly assess
all The property within the county,
This we assert he did not do, and
it is an outrage upon The tax payers
TO permit him TO go over his work
and correct the same, taking one
half of The taxes for doing his work
over.
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an article from Assessor
Parker in deiepse OF the attack
made in the LEADER against The
present owner map business. He
promises an article to appear in
the LBApER ne,.t week if space is
granted him. We assure Mr..
Parke, that any reasonable amount
of space will be freely allowed him,
and lie only restrictions which will
be placed upon his article are hose
which every newspaper Office eu-
plovs. We wish to be entirely al
in this matter.
