Hon. lanes Simon,

of st. Martin, surnamed Pretty
Boy. was one of the most active
of the young lawyers in the house.
He introduced six bills, but his
heart and soul was wrapped up in
one, the effect of which was to
take his parish out of the Atchafa-
laya levee district. He made a
hard fight for the bill, and had it
recommitted two or three times
after unfavorable reports, but it
was finally killed in the house.
He secured the passage of a bill to
prohibit the game of craps and to
amend the Civil Code. He was
chairman of the committee on fed
eral relations-Picayune.

The New York bankers are
afraid that if the government
makes another issue of bond to re-
plenish the gold reserve, it will
have bad effect for the gold
cause, and be very favorable to
the silver cause, and in order to
avoid another issue of bond, the
New York bankers have taken
steps to exchange about $4,000
600 of their gold for legal tender
notes. The national government is
at the mercy of a few monneyed
institutions. Is this the condi-
ton of things the gold bugs want
to perpetuate?

eminent to raise the gold reverse
which is now low to the 500, OOO,.

the government can keep it's gold

ment going to keep the necessary
gold reserve unless it will buys il
with bonds issued from time to

Accidents occasioned by fast riding

ture have become 50 frequent Of late as
to suggest the PIopriety of passing an
ordinance regulating the speed Of such
vehicles and compel riders to ring a bell
at the approach Of and when passing
other vehicles.
Your executive officer is placed at q
great Inconvenience in enforcing many
Of the town ordinances as there exists
no compilation or classification of them
and in order to find an ordinance the
minutes must be searched for years
back thus entaiIing considerable loss OF
time.
A compilation Of the ordinances pro-
perlv classified and indeed would ell
tail no great expense and is absolutely
necessary.
Act No 154 Of the last Legislature re.
quires that a correct map Of the town
should be made giving the locations Of
the different alleys and streets with
their names etc. Although the law
aliOts one year in which this may bt
done the necessity Of such map is N
urgent as TO admit Of no delay.

For the first time for several
months full county county court
is in session in this county (full in
numbers, we mean.) The court is
presided over by Judge Stearn, and
Commissioners Williams and God
win fill the quota. Considerable
business of Importance confronts
the court at this term, great deal
of it having been continued over
awaiting the appointment of a
county judge.

Action should be taken at once
by our people towards opening the
horse trail to tidewater on the
Siletz. We fear our people do not
realize the Importance of this mat
ter. From the head of tide OH
down the Siletz, and on Salmon
river and the country around Devils
lake there are many new settlers
located. Industries are being .es-
tablished. In fact one of the
heaviest enterprises in the county
has been established already in the
plant of Kern Bros. Packing COM
pany's cannery. A saw mill will
doubtless be one of the enterprises
to be established during the coming
year. All that country is a new
and growing country, but it has no
outlet in the way of roads or trails.
1t is seeking an outlet. Such out
let can be secured with the least
expense of money and labor to
Toledo. 1t is the natural route.
But it will be absolutely necessary
for these people to have some help,
in fact a great deal of help, to build
their road. 1t is of no use for them
to ask the county to help, for the
court has already refused to aid the
settlers on Salmon river and Devils S
lake to secure a road to the Siletz,
even to the extent of having the
route surveyed and located, and the
settlers then to make the road.
1t becomes the duty of the people
of Toledo, and it is also to their self
interest, to assist in the opening of
road from the head of Depoe,
above Chas. Carlson's place, to the
head of tide on the Siletz. This
route is about twelve or fifteen
miles, and is on a continuous ridge.
There will not be bridge to make
on the whole route. For this year
the best that can be done is to open
up a horse trail. 1t would not
require a great deal of labor to dc
this. The people on the other end
of the route would help some, and
a trail could be opened up in three
weeks.
Let us get in and do this at once

country is the biggest part Of oul

Merit in medicine means the power to

and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hoods sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any Of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not

Two men were drowned at the
mouth of the Siletz last Saturday.
They were from Nestucca and were
going to the Siletz to fish. They
were in a small fishing boat and at
tempted to land through the heavy
surf running. Their boat was
swamped and came ashore bottom
up. The bodies of the men never
came ashore. Their names were
Planter and White. Three other
men in another fish boat that started
the same time, landed in the Siletz
safely.

trade and good will. We want
them to bring their produce here to
sell, and our merchants want to sell
them goods. A movement should
be made at once. Toledo is poor
in money, but we believe that she
is rich enough in labor to do this
important piece of work.
