The contract for the bridge
across Eckman slough has beer
awarded to Messrs. R. ed and Evans
of Waldport. The contact Is for g
three pile bridge 7 100 feetl'n length
and is to cost the county e5 cents
per foot.
The defenders Of the county
school fund non-apportionment
have abandoned argument and de-
scended to personal SANDER and
abuse. This is a virtual admission
Of the correctness Of the LEADER.
We do not care to follow them into
the slime of an unsigned SANDER,
Newport's attempted bribe of the
voters of the county by the pre-
tended deciding Of lot of sand
piles called "blocks" to the county
is an insult to every honest man, in
the county. The county seat is a
thing that cannot be bought and
sold by wind and sand piles.. r"
TO those who heard Major
Bruce's plea of poverty and hard
times at the court house last Sat-
urday night, and the wall he made
because he, his wife and children
had to work, it will be interesting
to learn that the Major pays taxes
on $4,000 worth Of property in
Oregon.
The people ofToledo and vicinity
will meet at the cemetery north OF
town next Saturday for the purpose
of cleaning up and improving the
same. All the ladies will bring
baskets and lunch, and the men
implements to work with. All are
earnestly requested to come out
and assist In the good work.
VIM. Dutton, Of Little Elk, Is
down on jury service this week,
While here he. showed us some
samples of gold bearing ore which
he takes out of a mine he is working
near his place. He has some very
rich ore one assay running as high
as $3o.7 10 per ton, The ore is soft
and easily worked, Mr.. Dutton is
quite confident that he has valu-
able mine.
With this term of court Prose-
cutting Attorney Condor terminates
his duties in Lincoln county, He
has proven himself faithful and
efficient officer, and one who has
prosecuted all classes alike without
fear or favor, He is held in high
esteem by the citizens of Lincoln
county and it is matter Of univer4
sal regret by people of all parties
that Mr.. Condor did not see fit to
accept denomination for the Of
fee.
The word is being shouted from
the house tops that John Daily, the
republican candidate for joint repre-.
sentative, is such a great statesman;
such a terribly smart fellow, his
genius and brain is overpowering,
and without him elected Lincoln
county had just rs we'll shut up
shop. We wish some fellow that
has known Mr.. Daily for many years
would tell us specifically what the
gentleman has done for either party
or country that renders him so high
ly acceptable. His labors seem TO
have been no more important than
to teach a school in Newport in an
early day, work for the o. p. con-
struction while and took a claim
in the Cascade mountains. He re-
turned 10 Lincoln county about a
year ago and is now running for
joint representative.
