Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1894-01-25


we are rapidly losing our fears OF
being starved" or Crushed"
We acknowledge a short call and
a few words of honest encourage
ment from Jos. Blower, living near
Mill Four, on Tuesday.
We are glad to be able to state
that our friend ]. r i. Purnidge, who
has been quiteilHor some time has
50 far recovered as to be able to get
down to town once in a while.
Hon. Beal Gather was over from
the Siletz yesterday, He reports
that the grippe, which has been
epidemic on the reservation for sew
eral weeks has about abated.
The o. P. is now running mixed
trains on freight days. This makes
the train get i'll little later on
these days, but is otherwise no in
convenience, and is no doubt quite
a saving in the operating Of the
road.
Wallis Nash returned from trip
to San Francisco and Portland few
days ago. While at the former
place, we understood; he met Col.
Hogg, and the condition Of the Ore
gon Pacific was discussed at length.
However, Mr.. Nash informed us
that there are no developments in
O. p. atters.-Corvallis News.
A man that can find a whole iot
of news these days to put in a pa
per these days is regular James
dude. There may have been
time when items were scarcer for
the country press on the coast, gen.
orally but we believe If there ever
was it was before the Hudson Bay
company trappers ever struck the
Pacific coast.
1t might just as we'll be under
stood first last and all the time
that the LEADER cannot be silenced
III any way or manner. 1t is not
for sale and it cannot be bulldozed.
That ends it. And il may just as
well be understood also that the
LEADER only has one interest to
protect, and that is the people of
Lincoln county.
The football team of the Oregon
Agricultural college defeated the
Multnomah Juniors, of Portland,
at Corvallis last Saturday. Now if
some of the students of the
college would get in and win 4 di-
ploma, or prize, or something as a
mark of superior learning, some of
the people would be foolish enough
to feel highly elated ovei that, also.
Notice has been received and
duly posted in the clerks Office
that the survey Of township IL,
range 10, has been duly approved
and the plat filed in the land Office
at Oregon City, and that land in
said township will be subject to
entry on and after March IL, 1894.
This will be welcome news to the
settlers III that region, some of
which have lived On their ranches
more than five years.
The end OF Receiver Clark $ first
month will soon be at hand, Now
if Mr., Clark takes what money there
is on the first of the month and di-
vides ii pro rata among the laborers
even if ii is only a dollar each, and
not let tile receiver and the attorneys
hog the whole thing, our faith in
the new administration will be
materially strengthened Anything
short of this will bring the regula-.
ton kick from this paper. q,
l.. Rhoades made proof on his
homestead near this place last sum
mer, and the proof was rejected at
the Oregon City land Office by
Register Apperson on technical
grounds. Mr. Rhoades appealed
the case to the land commissioner
at Washington and has just received
word to the effect that he will be
entitled to make his proof in the
prescribed way aud is directed to
do SO at once. We congratulate
Mr., RhoadeS upon the favorable
decision, as we are sorry to see any
honest eutrymou lose his land.
The structures laid by the Capital
Journal, Of Salem, on Receiver
Clark, are both unjust and uncalled
