LOCAL NOTES.

J. H. Doty, of Waldport, vert
to Albany on business the first of
the week. stopping over at this
place short time on his return:
We acknowledge pleasant CALL
Mrs. J. A. Hall left last Tuesday
for Cozad, Nebraska, wheie she
will visit among friends and rela-
tives and also receive medical treat
rient from her old family physician.
A movement is on foot to organ
ize asbaseball club at Toledo. A
purse has been made UP and. balls,
bats, etc., ordered, and the boys
will clear a ground tomorrow.
There is some good ball players in
Toledo and a good club could be
gotten up, s.
The Newport baseball club took
up the Siletz boys challenge, and a
match game was played at Newport
last Sunday. BY hard playing the
Newport boys succeeded in holding
the score down to 80 to 7, in favor
of Siletz. The Indian boys seem
to be something of ball players.
County Clerk Ben Jones has been
quite seriously i'll tor several days,
but has so far recovered as to be
able to once more get around slow
ly. Its pretty tough for a candi-
date to be laid up in bed for the
last ten days Of his campaign, but
Ben's hosts Of friends in the county
will fully understand the situation
and do his canvassing for him.
Al. Waugh is making a splendid
campaign for the Office of county
treasurer. Mr.. Waugh is young
man, and is we'll educated. He is
perfectly competent to keep the
books of the treasurer's Office and
keep them straight. He is strictly
honest in every sense of the word,
and if elected will give bond that
is really bond.
Look out for campaign lies sprung
OIL the eve of election to defeat some
candidate. A charge that is wor-
thy Of notice against candidate is
worthy of being made long enough
before election for defense to be
made. A lie sprung on the eve OF
the election and scattered over the
county is one of the most detestable
means of electtieHeefing. Spot the
campaign liar and nail his lies to
The cross.
George Sylvester informs us that
he has again got the wire for his
telephone line from Newport to To-
ledo up, and as quick as the instru-
ments which have been ordered ar.
rive, it will be got into working or
der. The line will only extend
as far as Toledo at present. The
line will be great public conven
ience, and we hope to see 1t more
literally patronized that it was be
fore.
Hon. J. K. Weatherford made {
political address at the court house
last Monday night to large audi
euce. His address was an able eff
fort and was we'll received by hi
hearers. Mr.. Weatherford ha!
many personal friends here, and il
- yecoguized by men of all politica
parties rs one of the ablest public
men Of Oregon. lie will, we be
lieve, poll large number of vote
outside Of his own party in Lincoli
county.
If the people Of the Alsea countr.
want representative on the coun
ty board, and they surely need one
they should combine their votes Of
one of their candidates. If the,
scatter their votes it is not probabl
that either Of them will be elected
aud the Alsea country will go with
out representation in the count
court. Schimmel seems to be nue.
the stronger candidate, and it look
like the common interests of tn
people of that section would caus
all the people of that portion of tn
county to vote for him.
A. l.. McFadden is getting II
quit reputation as ladies mar
