Last year in corn planting time,
farmer says he left plat of ground for
peanuts Marked the rows off lust the
same as for corn, so when he cultivated
the corn he could cultivate the peanuts
at the same time. Planted them about
the 1st of May They can be planted
any time after the danger of killing
frost The seed should be very care
fully selected at the time of planting;
also carefully prepared so as not to
break the skin of the kernel. He put
the kernel in a can, covered them with
coal oil and let them stand over night.
This was to keep the nroles, etc, from
eating the seed. Planted them in hills.

MAcADAMiZED ROADS.
Omcial Data Which May BE of Interest to
County Omcials.


County Ohcials.
We have frequent letters asking for
figures on the cost of building macadam
roads. 1t is impossible to offer any fig
ures which would be of any practical
use without knowing all a bout the local
conditions, the kind of stone available
the distance it must be hauled, the ma
ture of the soil, the condition of the
present road, ETC., not to mention the
important question OF how wide the
road is to be built and how thick.
The following general facts may be
of use: Where the soil is hard and up
to proper grade with suitable stone
close at hand without quarryinS. good
'15-foot" road may be made for any
where from 5000 to 81 800 per mile. The
conditions must be favora bic, however,
to get the work well done at this price.
Much of the macadam road being built
costs more than double this amount.
The Telford road, or more properly a
nacadam road with telford founda-
ton, costs with ten inches of telford and
six inches of macadam about 81 900 per
mile for each foot in width We submit
the following figures which are actual
cost of building a mile of new street in
the Back Bay district of Boston. These
figures are given to Good Roads by

The contest for commissioner is
now between Barclay and Luckey.
Mr.. Goodwin, the republican candi-
date, simply is not in the race.
The terrible opposition encountered
from his own precinct makes it i'm
possible for him to gain standing
with the balance of the county.
This calls for a choice between
Mr.. Barclay and Mr.. Luckey, and
Mr.. Barclay has the advantage.
He is an old settler, a heavy tax
payer, and a thoroughly reliable
business man. And then location
is in his favor. 1t is admitted by
all that the Alsea country should
have commissioner, and if it is
not given them now they will have
to go without for two years longer.
This would be unjust, and there is
general disposition to give them a
representative on the county court.
Mr.. Luckey is a good man and a
good citizen, but Mr.. Barclay is
just as good a man, just as good a
citizen and for the further reasons
given above is the better entitled to
support.

Lincoln county is getting out of
debt; her taxes are now low and
should be kept SO, and the way to
do so is to keep within their income.
To go $I2, 900 or $4,000 in debt
now for county buildings, roads,
ETC., is simply to bankrupt the
county. Keep the county seat
where it is and keep down taxes.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1896-05-21

If the county-seat is to be located
justly, fairly and equitably, it will
be located at the place where it will
be most convenient for the greater
part of the people of the county;
where it will be the most accessible
to the deople of the county; where
the county business can be trans
acted with the least expense to the
taxpayers.
1t goes without contention that
the river from Toledo down is the
dividing line below, and the range
of hills between the Yaquina and
Alsea the dividing line above.
With the exception of ia considerable
number of settlers south of the river
opposite Toledo who are nearest
Toledo, the lines named above
fairly divides the territory regarding
county-seat. Yaquina and New
port precincts will be spoken of
further on. In the territory allotted
to West Yaquiua as above the
people perhaps at the present time,
have easier means of access to West
Yaquina than to Toledo. All the
other country is near and more
accessible to Toledo. Of this there
can be no question.
The vote of two years ago in the
West Yaquina territory, and includ-
ing Yaquina precinct was 293 out
of total of S32 total votes, or
little more than one-third of the
votes. Of these Newport has about
$50, and calling Newport neutral
would leave $50 votes i'll the county.
In the territory conceded to West
Yaquina the vote will be about the
same as that of two years ago, it
being conceded by those who have
kept posted that the gain and loss
in those precincts have been about
equal. This would leave 293 voters
benefited the location of the county
seat at West Yaquina, to 757 beue-
fitted by its location at Toledo.
Besides this Toledo is more con-
venient to a large part of Yaquina
and Newport precincts than West
Yaquina.
The location of the county seat at
West Yaquina is simply laying a
burden upon three-fourths of the
people of the county for the benefit
of the one-fourth. The proposition
is so unreasonable and so absurd
that it would not be seriously con-
sidered a moment, were it not for
money back of the scheme.

We must sincerely congratulate
the Newport News on the able
argument it has brought forth in
the interests of the various republi-
can candidates for county Offices.
In expounding upon the various
good qualities of their candidates it
has produced logic so profound that
in some instances we admit that it
is impossible to controvert them.
For instance in connection with
everyone of its candidates the
News declares that they have been
born, and it has produced such an
array of testimony to prove this
that we are compelled to admit it.
Then it goes OIL to show that It's
candidates are not to be blamed foi
being born, except one, which the
News says was born by his owr
efforts" That is about as far as
the News has got with its argr
ments as ye:, but before 1900 it j:
liable to prove something else if i
keeps right on.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1896-05-21

If there had been any merit, any
worth, any reason or any excuse
for West Yaquina it surely would
have developed during the past
two years. Standing two years
ago as the high candidate for county
seat it has dragged along all that
time and not a thing has been done
to give it a reasonable standing be-
fore the people. Not stick has
been cut; the mud-flat is just as
barren of a good dock as ever; nc
suitable building has ever been
erected for a court house; simply
nothing has been done. These
things were duly Dlowed up and
promised two years ago. Did ttey
keep their faith with the people
then? No. Will they keep their
faith now? No.

Sam Logan will be the next
treasurer of Lincoln county. He
ought to be. We have nothing to
say against either of the other
candidates, but we have got some-
thing to say for Sam, and so have
the people of the county. Sam
Logan has been a landmark in this
country. He has been one of the
real builders of the county. He is
and always has been worker. All
of Sans old neighbors will remem-
Der that the hour was never too
early or too late to find him at
work. He is a heavy taxpayer
and is deeply interested in the
county's financial interests. He is
strictly honest in all his dealings.
His word is gooG the entire length
and breadth of the county. He is
deserving of the Office for what he
has done for the country, and for
the further fact that he will make
an honest, responsible and efficient
county treasurer. We believe the
people will elect him by a good
majority.
