those who know him as in every way
worthy of the good fortune that has
come to him, and he could ask no
higher praise. The wedding was at
tended by a number of invited guests,
and the esteem in which the young

ANOTHER BIG GAS WELL.

Three miles more of territory were
added to the Iols field last Saturday
when the drill in the Palmer Com
pany well on the John Ohlfest place,
half mile east of LaHarpe, struck
the gas sand and in q short time de-
veloped well that will run any
where from five to eight millions cub
ic feet daily.
The new we'll is about three miles
east of the Renas burg well, and gas
sand was found 100 feet deeper, show
ing that the crest of the rock has been
passed. AS it is about five miles
from the Butler well, the most west
erly gas we'll of any value, to the
Remsburg well, and as the strata be-
gin to dip before the Ohlfest we'll is
reached, it seems reasons BILE to con-
clude that the lola gas field is in the
neig hbOrhOOd of twelve miles in ex-
tent from east to west Other wells,
north and south, would seem to show
that about the same limits may be
placed on its extension III those direc-
tions. so that one is safe in saying
that our gas field is not less than
twelve miles square. Aud that is
nearly equivalent to saying that we
have it in Unlimited quantities, and
for all time to come, for within this
area of IA square miles there is room
for thousands of wells. Surely the
prospects are such as to justify the
most extravagsnt hopes for the future
of our towA and County.
Mr.. Ohlfest and the people of La
Harpe are to be congratulated on the
opening of this splendid well. Mr.
Ohlfest will, of course. begin the use
of it at once, aud we trust that ar
engagements may be made whereby
the people of the town can be supplied
also.

the Mckinley Club at the

Senator Parker is a most

talking about no gold being in
circulation" said VIM. Cunningham
in this office last Saturday, al offered
gold to dozen or more men over the
counter Of the Humboldt bank yester-
day in paymint of checks and every
one of them uefused it and asked me
to give them paper" And yet Pop
orators go about over the county ask
ing those who have gold in their
pockets to hold up their hands, and
think they have proven that there is
no gold in circulation because no
hands go up. Suppose some speaker
at a country school house should ask
all who had a $40 bill in their pockets
to hold up their hands. The chances
are that no hands would go up. But
would that prove that there are no
$40 bills in circulation?

The editor of the REGISTER rode
from lola to Garnett, where he had a
political engagement, on Gen. Alger's
train, and was very Hospitality enter
tanned. In addition to Generals AL
ger, Sickles, Howard, Stewart, Cor.
poral Tanner, Major Burst, and Gen.
Sickles' son and daughter, who con-
stituted the Alger party, there were a
number of Kansas politicians on
board, among them being Cy. Leland,
Curly" Harrison, p. p. Campbell,
and Frank L. Brown. F. L. Vande-
GRIT, representing the Kansas City
Star, and Frank Marshall, represent
ing the Journal, were the only news
paper men with the party. There
were several hundred people at Col
ony and at Garnett there must have
been four or five thousand.
So
Hon. P. P. Campbell will speak at
Humboldt next Friday evening, Oct.

The Republicans of Humboldt
t pwnship held a caucus last night
and nominated w. H. Andrews for
Trustee, Harry Gardner for Treasurer.
Geo. Noyes for Clerk, Capt. Brunson
and J. NJ. Wallace for Judges and
VIM Thompson and Philo Lyons for
COnstables. After the caucus Capt.
Dewitt made the most convincing
speech on the money question any
Humboldt audience has had this
year. He proved from the report of
the Treasury that during the time
when we had free coinage of silver,
there was no silver in circulation, and
yet according to the opponents free
coinage made prices good. What
ought TO be the effect now when we
have 5000, OOO, 600 in circulation. The
audience was large and the Captain
held their attention to the last.

LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES.

The announcement of Mr.. A. II.
Campbell, who has been chairman of
the County Democratic Committee,
that he has renounced the Chicago
ticket and platform and will support
Mckinley, while very gratifying is
not in the least surprising. Mr..
Campbell is an intelligent, patriotic
and honest citizen, and it was impos-
sible that he should continue to sup
port candidate and q platform which
maintain ideas utterly repugnant to
his intelligence, his patriotism and
his honesty. He will be warmly
welcomed to the ranks of the party to
which he naturally belongs.

The Republican rally at lola last
Saturday was great success. The
opera house was filled at 2:30 when
Judge C. B. Graves, of Emporis, be-
gan to speak, and for an hour and a
half the Judge held the closest atten-
ton with what is generally conceded
to be the best speech delivered in lola
this wear. II was full of telling
points. exposing the fallacies of the
free coinage argument, and every
point was cheered to the echo. At
four O'Clock the meeting closed and
the audience adjourned in body to
the depot to await the coming OF 1.-The
Generals" They hadn't long to wait
for within few minutes of schedule
time the gaily decorated train rolled
IN, and was greeted with the firing OF
anvlls, the music of the band, the
waving of banners, and the cheers of
the people. Hon. J. V. Beekman was
on the train and introduced General
Alger, who spoke a few minutes and
in turn introduced Gen. Stewart, who
in closing introduced Gen. Howard.
OF course none of the speakers could
attempt an argument in the brief
time allowed, but they all appealed
in strong terms to the intelligence and
patriotism Of the people, and all were
warmly cheered. 1t was a disap-
pointment to the crowd not to see
Gen. Sickles and Corporal Tanner, but
both of them bad been speaking all
forenoon, and were lying down taking
q much needed rest when the train
was here. An especially pretty fea-
ture of the program here was the pre-
sentation of flowers, by the hands of
q dozen little girls. Gen. Alger re-
ceived the flowers, shaking hands
with each of the girls and thanking
them for their beautiful gifts. And
on board the train the bouquets were |
greatly admired, and the lola meet

Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1896-04-30

Two years ago the whole south
side of the river voted a practical
solid vote for West Yaquina for
county seat. But very few votes
were polled on that side for New
port or Toledo. This condition
will be changed this year. While
the south side will largely vote for
county seat on their side of the
river, yet there are number of
persons in each south side precinct
that will vote for Toledo on the
grounds of economy and low tax
alton, and for the greatest good to
the greatest number. They know
that to locate the county seat at
West Yaquina will mean largely
increased taxes for years to come.
They also knew that the promises
made by nonresident boom town
lot spectators of a court house and
grounds free, and wagon road by
every mans door, are never intend
ed to be redeemed, and in fact can
not be legally made. But it is well
known that they are only made to
get votes with. A considerable
number of south side people have
got tired of county seat promises,
and will vote from hard, common
sense business standpoint. In do
ing this they will vote for Toledo.
Of course they are not making any
big blow about it, but when the
votes are counted after election we
will be much surprised if Toledo
does not have some place between
rs and 100 votes out of the south
side precincts that failed to give her
any votes two years ago.

from tqis thriving burg.
The weather has been "beastly,"
but very little garden has been
planted yet, and everyone is wear
ing long faces and Cleveland badges
on their clothes.
We are sorry to note our esteemed
friend c. J. Bishop has to resort to
his cane again, owing to a very
sore foot.
N. J. Goodman and E. w. Coun-
Gil paid Tidewater a business visit
on Friday last.
Chas. Gideon, Of Waldport, is an
addition to Tidewater farmers.
Welcome home again Charley.
Politics are every quiet here.
the only question that troubles us
is the silver question, not so much
whether it is to be free coinage or
not, but how we can get a little of
what is already coined, before it is
all retired, not that we have any
use for it but simply to keep as
mementos of the good times we
once had.
Most Of the people hereabouts are
beginning to "bark up the chittim
trees" which is a source of coming
prosperity.

HAS LINCOLN COUNTY A coUNTY-sEAT
FOR SALE.

In view of the great amount of
talk that has been current in Our
county about the use of money,
and the sack and so on, it would
seem that the location of a county
seat is only a mere matter CT barter
and sale-a kind of sale for cash
in hand to the highest bidder.
1t is common talk over the coun-
ty that outside capitalists, specula-
tors and bankers have already put
up some money to buy votes for
West Yaquina for county seat, and
that it is their intention to put up
more money. This talk has be-
come so common that the names of
the men who contribute the amount
contributed, and even the men who
will distribute it are freely mention
ed.
The question is: Has Lincoln
county county seat for sale! Are
the citizens and taxpayers of the
grand young county of Lincoln
ready to let the town lot specu-
lators, the national bankers, and
the whole coterie of speculating
shylocks come into our county and
debauch an election; to defeat the
will of the people by the use OF
money; to upset and defeat the will
of the people i'll order that their
town lots that they have bought for
speculation may be enhanced in
value and thus bring the dollars to
their pockets. Can the bankers
and spectators twist and wind the
people of the county to their own
use and benefit by their brazen
cheek and dollars?
We do not believe they can.
We do not believe that the peo-
pie of Lincoln county are yet ready
10 be controlled by the use of the
money and whiskey that these fell
lows boast of. We have confidence
in the integrity and honesty of the
people of Lincoln county, and we
believe that this brazen attempt will
react on the heads of those who at
tempt it. We believe that the
stool pigeons who will attempt to
distribute this money will meet
with the everlasting contempt
which they deserve.
