Last Friday DR.. Parent was called
to Alsea bay to care for boy who
was suffering with broken limb.
He went on the freight to Yaquina,
where he crossed the river and rode
a horse to Alsea bay. On his ar
rival he found the sufferer to be a
boy about IS years old who had
broken one of his legs while wrest-
ling with one of the McWillis boys,
at whose home the boy was stop
ping. DR.. Parent set the injured
limb and returned to Yaquina in
time to catch the morning train
for home, having travelled IS miles
by rail and about thirty-6ve by
horse and set broken limb from
four o'clock one evening till half
hast seven next morning.
The attempt to get Jerry Banks
to file contest against S. G. Irwin
on account of the vote cast by the
Indians, is very plain effort to put
up boy to do something that a
man is ashamed or afraid to do.
The fact is Mr.. Banks is a young
man and was comparatively un-
known over the county. He was
placed on the ticket but a short two
weeks before election, and in spite
of all that he came within IS votes
OF beating his opponent. This is a
splendid record for the young man,
and gives hem a decided standing
in the future. But should he allow
himself to be made a tool of and
start a contest for some one else's
benefit, he will kill not only him
self, politically, but many of his
friends with him. If Mr.. Banks is
wise he will tell those fellows who
are urging him on, to do their own

Messrs. B. F. Jones, c. B. Crosno,
A. o. Krogstad, Chas. Ruhl, W..
{. Copeland and F. Chambers re-
turned on Monday from their trip
to the Siletz. They report that
they made the trip from Toledo
through to the head of tide on the
Siletz bay in four days. They
found ridge two miles northwest
of the Carlson place that proved to
be the dividing line between the
ocean and the Siletz river. This
ridge they followed through and
found it to be unbroken; in fact in
order to get camp water the party
were always compelled to leave the
ridge and go down into the lower
lands to get water. They estimate
that it is 20 miles to the head of
tide and say that there is not
bridge to be built upon the whole
route. Ben Jones says he has
lived in this neck O. the woods for
over 26 years aud always supposed
that the land lying between Toledo
and the S:!etz river were fern
ridges and burnt timber, but he
says that there is over two town.
ships of vacant land that is covered
with fir, cedar, spruce and tamarack
timber that in his judgement is of
as good quality as can be found
in Oregon or Washington. He
says that there is any amount of
this timber that will come out on
the Yaquina bay side and the other
three-fourths will go to the Siletz.
He will return to this timber and
fully explore it in few days for
the purpose of seeing if any portion
of it will come down the Depot
slough. IF it will he estimates
that four miles of railroad or tram
way will reach the edge of the
timber from tidewater above Toledo.
Ben says that Lincoln county has
resource that he never
dreamed of. This part of Lincoln
county lies on the Siletz reservation
and has never been explored only
along the Siletz river and no one
had any idea that it was a green
belt of old growth timber between
the two Bays, the Yaquina and the
Siletz. good horse trail will be
cut through to tidewater on the
Siletz with a view of making a
wagon road in the future. They
report seeing plenty of fresh elk
signs, but had no time to hunt. !
Each party had pack of fifty
pounds, as the country was too
brushy to take horse through
with them. 'fhey need not have
packed so heavy, but they expected !
to be gone two weeks, whereas
they had good luck in finding the
water shed and were only out five
days.

the money question.
NEW YORK, Aug. 81 President
Cleveland's s visit to this city, the prime
object of which was the reception Of the
renowned Chinese ambassador, Lii Hung
Chang, afforded him at the same time
an excellent opportunity of discussing
the political situation with the sound
money members of his cabinet. 1t is
understood Mr.. Cleveland told the gen.
tlemen present that he would shortly
issue an open letter on the money ques-
ton, and that he had wished to consult
them as to its details. The discussion
was prolonged for more than an hour,
preceding tie lunch served in Mr..
Whitney's house, and was also con-
tinued during that repast.
1T was not possible to ascertain
whether the talk was assisted by a
rough draft of the proposed letter, but
this seems more than probable, in view
of the oft repeated assertion that Mr..
Cleveland long ago resolved to utilize
the occasion of this visit to New York
to talk with the sound money members
of his cabinet Oh this very question.
