Tonight was the basket social at
the Court hou5e, and of course we
had to stop long enough to devour
the contents Of three or four well
filled baskets. We will say the af-
fair was a grand success financially
and otherwise, $25.Io being cleared
which was pretty good these hard
times. The baskets sold we'll. A

Mayor Friendly, this morning,
received a letter from Mr.. E. L.
Bonner, the successful bidder for
the O. P. railroad. He announced
that he had expected to visit Eugene
and meet her business men if the

it imperative that he should leave
Portland for the East tonight, but
his partner, Mr.. Hammond, would
arrive in the state in few days,

interests have greatly increased in
value. We can produce the very
best dairy products, and always
have a ready market for them, and
we do not fear competition"
We would here say that what is
good for Tillamook county must
surely be good for Lincoln county,
as we have as fine dairy resources
as any where on the coast.
