A prominent citizen of Corvallis
writing to the editor of this paper
on business matter says that, "If
the people of Lincoln county look
to their own interest and not to that
of nonresident real estate boomers
and town lot spectators, the coun-
ty-seat will be located at Toledo"
That is the situation in a nutshell.
1t is contest between the people
who are trying to build up the
whole county, and a set of non-res-
ident real estate boomers and town
lot spectators. 1t is fight to tear
down Newport, Yaquina City and
Toledo in order to build up value
to the brush-land nonresident town
lots at West Yaquina. A good
many people have been misled in
the matter, and the greater part of
those in the south part of the coun-
ty are honest in their convictions in
favoring West Yaquina, and look
at it merely from their individual
standpoint. But the schemers and
promoters are in it for revenue only
They are playing kind of a spec
ulative chess game, and they are
using the voters and taxpayers as
the pawns. Will the people SUBMIT

A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH.
Editor LEADER:

Editor LEADER:
Allow me to say a word on this
all-absorbing question of county
seat. First, there is just one honest
and manly way to look at it, and
that is to put county before self; the
greatest good to the greatest NUM-
Der, laying all selfish and unfriend-
ly feelings aside. 1t is impossible
to locate the county-seat at place
that will be very convenient for
every man in the county to get to it.
then let us put it where the majori-
ty will be benefited, leaving the
minority to face the hardship of
crossing the bay, that seeming to be
the one reason advanced for putting
it on this side. Everyone must ad-
NIT that a large majority of the pop
ulation are on the north side. Look
ing at it with the county first, we
are bound to consider the cost of at
tending court which will surely be
greater if located on the south side
than on the north. Now another
thing, friends; let us cease this feel
ing of animosity that has so long
existed toward the people of the va
quina bay. If nature endowed them
with more natural resources for
wealth than than she did Alsea, let
us still join as brothers and reap
some of the benefits instead of cry
ing down everybody and everything
that comes from or pertains to the
Yaquina Bay. l claim that there is
only two places in Lincoln county
for county-seat, and they are the
cities of Newport and Toledo. If
the county had to depend on the
garden farmers for its revenue we
be tax-ridden people for sure. Let
us help to build cities and
thereby bring wealth to the county,
and not tear them down. If the
county-seat is put at West Yaquina
it will seriously injure and retard
the growth of both Toledo and New
port. And what would we gain?
Nothing, absolutely nothing. A
few, and very few, men would gain
a few dollars by having it at West
Yaquina. They would be able to
sell some of their land to the coun-
ty, and it would keep up a ferry
boat there at the expense of the tax
payers, and perhaps help out the re-
sort at Seal Rocks. That is the ex-
tent of the benefit we would derive
by crippling our two towns, unless
we could call it benefit to be able
to say: well, we downed Newport
two years ago, and we give it to
Toledo this time" But / say let
us drop that feeling and extend the
hand of good fellowship to our
brothers on the other hay, and all
pull together and have a county
that we should be proud of. Let
us live in harmony and work for
the best interests of the county at
large. What is Of interest to New
port is benefit to Waldport. Then
let us do all we can for the county
to increase its wealth, population
and future welfare.
Now my friends, in conclusion
will say | hope these few remarks

SoUTHSIDE VOTER

If certain men who have been
very active in the campaign for
West Yaquina will come right out
and say that they have no money to
influence the county-seat election,
and then keep their word, West
Yaquina will not receive as many
votes by at least fifty as it did two
years ago. The bottom would drop
out of their whole town lot scheme.
Stripped of this money incentive
West Yaquina would simply re-
ceive the south side vote, amounting
to perhaps one-third of the total
vote, and perhaps not all of that.

The letter elsewhere in this is
sue from ''South Side Voter" is
a plain, sensible statement of facts.
1t was written by solid and sub
stantial citizen of the Alsea coun-
try, and it is full of plain truths.
The writer realizes the fact that ev-
cry man in the county cannot have
a county-seat located in his own
dooryard, and therefore advocates
the location of the county-seat at
the point where it will be best sit
uated for the greatest number num-
Der of our people. We have always
believed that before the final vote
is taken that great number of the
people on the south side of the
county, particularly the heavy tax
payers there, would awake 10 the
fact that it is to the best interest of
the county located at Toledo. They
realize that it is not right nor SEN
sible to locate the county-seat off
to one side of the county. The let
ter referred TO is especially encour-
aging, as it indicates that a change
is coming over the people of that
section are now regarding the ques-
tion from logical, practical and a
business standpoint.

gates were present and many visitors.
Martin Fox. president of the Iron
Molders' Union of North America. had
been selected to deliver the address Of
welcome. Owing to the death Of his
mother, his address was read by E. L.
Denny. More effective action for
the eight-hour law and other reforms
were recommended. Special greet
ings were extended to Delegates Samuel

and Louis Vigoroux, of Farnce. Presi.
dnet Gompers, in responding to the ad-
dress of welcome, referred to the at
tacks upon the organization because
it was merely federation, and not a
more compact union. He showed how
the fullest scope was given to individual
opinions and rights and thus afhliation
Of different labor organizations was
possible in one great federation. He
appealed for continued efforts for the
cultivation Of public opinion as well as
favorable legislation and most earnest
cooperation in all labor organizations.

of $50 each. Woods and Mallinson,

Peculiar Find Made by Hunter in
California.
Ukiah, CAL, Dec. 16.-While hunt
ing on Pine Ridge, ten miles from
here, Charles Ryan found the skeleton
of man seated astride a branch Of a
tree, sixty feet from the ground. One
of the leg bones had fallen off, and the
skeleton, which was wedged between a
limb and the trunk of a fir tree, had
apparently been there for many years.
The discovery may solve the mysteri-
ous disappearance of Andrew Nobrick,
a pioneer settler, who left his cabin
seventeen years ago. and was never
seen again. Ryan believes that the
skeleton is that of man either driven
to the tree for refuge from wild
animals, or, being lost in the woods,
climbed the tree for observation and
fell, lodging in the crotch of the tree,
from which he could not extricate him.

to President Cleveland yesterday in re-

affairs and the assassination of General

accepted by President-elect Mckinley;
indeed, it is said the governor has had
some correspondence with the presi.

Mantchuria Coded to the Czar-China's
Treaty Made Public.
London. Dec. 15.-The text of the
Russian Chinese treaty, reproduced
here from the North China Daily
News, has aroused considerable discus
sion on all sides, and it is regarded as
a matter of the greatest importance.
Some of the newspapers refuse to be-
lieve it authentic, as it would be such
victory for Russian diplomacy. The
Spectator says today, however, it be-
lieves it to be exact, and adds:
'No forger would have tried SO
elaborately to protect the pride Of
China. While securing every Russian
object, nothing is ceded openly. Rus-
sia is permitted to run railway to
Kiirin, and is expressly authorized to
keep all the troops she pleases to pro-
tect the Mantchurian stations, and she
is also to fortify Port Arthur for China.
''No glass is required to interpret
phrases like these, which completely
invest Russia with military control Of
Mantchuria and the Liao Tung penin-
sula.'
Continuing, the Spectator. says it
thinks the arrangement threatens
Japan more than Great Britain, (which
can resist when her commercial rights
are threatened. !"
