LOCAL NOTES


Mrs. w. E. Rich returned from
a visit to her parents near Phi1o-
n1ath yesterday. She was accom-
panied by friend, Miss Butler,
who will visit here for time.
Treasurer Hyde has remitted the
state treasurer the balance of state
taxes due and Lincoln county now
stands square with the state OF Ore
gon. The total state taxes were
$4,eee.3o.
B. r. Jones has fallen from grace
and returned to his old tricks. He
officiated as captain on the Wal
luski for round trip to Newport
the first of the week, He handled
the wheel as gracefully and as dex-
trously as of yore, and rustled his
grub from the other boatmen with
as much sang froid as though he
was regular man on the river.
To the people on Yaquina Bay,
I will state, that I have brought to
Toledo large assortment of wall
paper, paints, oils, brushes, notions,
stationery and fancy goods. Es-
pecially is my stock of wall paper
very large, of good quality and
away down in price. 1t will pay
to call on me before purchasing
elsewhere.

Pete Abbey, of Newport, while
out in the Valley last week bought
horse and buggy and started to
drive in. Something became
wrong and the horse started to run.
Pete jumped out to save himself
and hurt his ankle and bruised him
self up quite seriously otherwise.
He was picked up and sent home
on the train. His recovery is
rather slow. Pete says that his
father and brothers were all horse
men, and he ought to be, but some
of his friends seem to doubt it.
Col. Jno. Lane, special Indian
inspector, arrived in town last
night and went over to the agency
today. We understand that his
mission is to pay the Indians their
first payment of money due them
on their lands. This amounts to
SIS for each male over aI years of
age, and every female over IS. 1t
is estimated that about SIS, 900 will
be dispensed at this time. This is
the first visible sign that the de-
partment is moving in the matter
Of opening the reservation, and we
feel due amount of elation there.
