If Professor Cederstrom would make
a chronological examination upon the
head of the writer of this article he
would disclose the fact that the writer's
descriptive faculty is indeed way be-
low zero, so meagre attempt to de-
scribe this beautiful structure will suf-
fee at this writing:
The main, or north room is "a feet by
AZ, the wing or south room is 20 fl by
80 fit. and the entrance hall Or Tower
is u #. by II it. The seating capacity is
about one hundred and forty and the
cost viii be somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of two thousand dollars.
The people of Vineyard are truly to
be congratulated upon the election Of
such men SIS Messrs. Christian Soren-
sen, John Gillies and w. D. Lewis as
school trustees. Congratulations are
also due to these gentlemen for procur-
ing the valuable services of Mr.. T. T.
Davies, architect, and Thos, Groneman,
builder.
The old schoolhouse will in all proba-
bility be vacated in a few days and
will then pass into the hands of the
taxpayers. who have already bought
it and will be used for meetings and
social enter tainments.

Through the courtesy of the board of
school trusees the taxpayers OF Vine
yard precinct were rendered a grand
hop on Wednesday night, on the oc-

standing very disagreeable and driz-
zling rain which continued the whole
night, the older portion of Vineyards
inhabitants as well as some from Provo
gathered at the new building fully bent
on having gay and old fashioned
time OF fun and frolic. One hundred
persons joined in dancing to the music
of Groneman's band from PROVO, and
partook of cake and wine served by
Mrs. q. Nordstrom and aids. AS the
hour OF u o'clock (mignight) drew near
many were heard humming that good
old song, 1--WE Won't Go Home Till
Morning." consequently the clock in

Robbery At Newport.

An old gentleman named Gillette,
living near Newport, came into
that place last Saturday with his
head andface beaten and bruised
up, and reported that he had been
beaten and robbed by two masked
robbers the night before. The old
man is a bachelor living short
distance north Of Newport, and his
report was that Saturday night two
men came to his house and told
him that they were lost and hungry.
He let them in and when in the
house they demanded the money,
saying that they knew he had 5000
in the house. Gillette graboed his
gun and leveling it at one OF the
intruders pulled the trigger. The
gun snapped, The robbers then
took the gun away from him and
beat him over the head, They
then searched the house, taking
$40 In money, his gun and a pair
of field glasses, The old man
could furnish no clue to the robbers,
other than that he believed they
were Indians.

VIM. Mackay and family were
over from Corvallis last Sunday.
What Lincoln county needs is
settlers to improve the natural ad-
vantage.
a. J. RAIDER will go to Linn
coanty tomorrow to look after his
interests there.
Gen. Weaver need not be dis
couraged, he has never joined the
prohis, nor the woman's suffrage
parties yet.
Capt. J. NJ. Ayles, who has been
prospecting for some time for coal,
IS urging the people through the
Newport News to cooperate with
him. His article is TO the point
and forceful, There is a lack of
cooperation among the people of
Lincoln county that will always be
a hindrance to the advancement Of
the county until it is changed to a
spirit of enterprise and general
good.
Again we have had our attention
directed once or twice lately to men
who might do something for Our
county, who are laying still and
waiting for the railroad to do
something" Let us impress it
vividly upon the minds of the peo-
pie that the way to get the rail-
road to do something, is to do
something ourselves. If we sit
still and wait for the railroad to
help us, we will wait till time
crowds eternity. Let us do some
thing for ourselves, and then the
railroad will do something, not be-
fore.
We urgently request the people
from all parts of the county to send
in any communication of interest
they might have to the LEADER.
Send us descriptive articles about
your locality, your resources, the
wants, wishes, conditions of your
people, etc. Don't think because
you are off to one side, CT up some
creek, that we don't want to hear
from you, for we do. If you are
a success cut Of some kind
of crop, or in raising some kind
of stock write an article about it
and let others in the county know
what you have done. The LEAD.
Err is circulated now in every part
Of Lincoln county, and we are anx.
ious to make it interesting to every
person in the county. Don't be
afraid to use our columns.

The Tariff Bill Passed.

The long drawn agony is over
and congress has disposed of the
tariff bill by the House agreeing to
the senate amendments. The most
important of these amendments are
those placing duty on coal, iron
and sugar. The bill was finally
passed on Monday, The vote stood
182 for and 1o7 against. The
populists voted for the bill or were
absent. After the bill was agreed
to the House passed separate bills
placing coal, iron, sugar and barb
wire on the free list. The tariff
bill as passed makes an average re-
duction of about 40 per cent. from
the Mckinley bill,
