While Edison, then boy, was living
In Port Huron, he found one of those
opportunities to distinguish himself
that seem to be always falling in the
way Of some men. The anecdote is re-
lated in "The Life and Inventions Of
Edison" recently published. 1t was
near the end of an exceptionally severe
winter, and the tee had formed in such
masses as to sever the cable between
Port Huron and the Canadian city OF
Sarnia. The river, mile and hall
wide, was impossible, and multitudes
Of people were greatly inconveniensed.
Edison, who had Just learned to tel
egraph, saw q way out Of the difficulty.
Jumping upon q railway engine, he be.
gan to whistle In the rhythmic cadences
Of the Morse alphabet: "Hullo, Sarniai
Sarnia, do you get what say?" No an
swer. Again and again the short and
the long toots shaped themselves into
the dots and dashes of telegraphy, and
finally some one ON the other side be-
came alive to their meaning. The an
swer came back, clear and CHEEKY, and

deny that this class of men are
really working for their own self
interest. 1t is to the interest CT
every taxpayer Of the county to
have the county seat SO located that
it will accommodate the greatest
number of its inhabitants at the
least expense to the county, &i
rectly, and to the people themselves.
The self interest of every citizen
and taxpayer of the county Should
be the upbuilding of the county as
a whole, and not the upbuilding of
any small part thereof to the detri-
ment of the greater portion. To
the citizen and taxpayer it is his
self interest to keep down costs and
taxes to the end that the burden cf
county government may be light.
The self interest that causes a man
to vote to badly or wrongly locate a
county seat is mistaken self inter
est.
The time is drawing near when
the people of this county will be
called to vote upon this very vital
question. 1t behooves every citizen
to think well and act wisely on this
matter. No argument is needed as
to the relative merits of the two
candidates for county seat. Out
side of the fact that the one is
already town ofsome growth made
by the efforts of its own citizens,
and by its natural superior location,
and the further fact that the other
is merely a boom townsite owned
almost entirely by nonresident
spectators, there is no question as
to the natural and proper location
of the county seat. The warmest
adherents for West Yaquina freely
admit that to locate the county seat
at Toledo would accommodate the
greater number of the citizens of the
county. The only question then is
whether by the use of specious
arguments, promises of pay, the
use of money or other schemes will
cause the people of Lincoln county
to load themselves up with a per
petual burden of costs that must in
the years to come cost them IN
untold amount Of money i'll the way
of added costs and taxes. Tax
payers and citizens of Lincoln
county, consider this matter wei,
before the election day rolls around

The election of a county COM
missioner is one that should be
carefully considered by every voter
and taxpayer Of the county. The
county commissioners court is the
bulwark behind which all the
couuty's interests are entrenched.
They are the direct representatives
of the county in all matters finan-
cial. In looking after the interests
of the county the court should be so
distributed over the county, to the
end that they may be identified and
conversant with all interests of the
county. The divisions of the
county by its streams naturally
divides the county into districts.
The large and important area on
the Alsea should have a representa-
tion on the county court. The
interests of its roads and bridges,
and its other county interests war
rant and demand that one member
of the county court should come
from that place. There is nc
member of the present court from
that section. There is but one
candidate for commissioner from
that part of the county. That
candidate is Mr.. J. R. Barclay, ot
Tidewater. Mr.. Barclay is an old
settler of that part of the county,
and is a heavy taxpayer. He is q
straightforward, upright man, auj
is highly houored and respected by
all the people on the Alsea. Il
would be to the interest of the
whole county that Mr.. Barclay
should be elected. He would be 6
safe and conservative member O
the court and would fairly, honestly
and safely represent, not only the
Alsea country but the whole county
The faquina part of the county
would still have two members or
the court, and a large part of the
county that is now without repre-

A strong anti-Tongue feeling ex-
lists among the republicans of this
district. That this feeling will find
vent in some shape is very certain,
but at this time II is hard to tell
Just what shape of an united oppo-
sition to Tongue, or it may take
some other shape. If we were to
surmise the course that will be pur-
sued by the anti-Tongue republi-
cans of Lincoln eouaty,4 and. there
is a large number ofthem, we!would
guess that when they go to vote
that they place the name Of Binger
Hermann upon their ticket. They
feel that in this way they would be
suppol ting republican and at the
same time rebuking the unholy
combination that nominated Ton

Messrs. Kern & Church, the les
sees of the Dixon rock quarry at
Elk City, have notified the people
of that place that if they attempt to
rebuild the bridge on the old site
that they will compel them to put
a draw in it. They want the bridge
located about thirty feet further
down the stream in order to give
them more room to operate their
quarry. This change in the loca-
tion of the bridge would necessitate
about fifty feet more bridge, and
would also require much longer
piling at one end of the span.

Poorbaby! Your pity goes
out to it and rightly. To be
thin, for a baby, is to be de-
prived of its natural ease; to
suffer and not be able to feel
it; to wear a sad pinchedface;
to live on the edge Of sick

candidate for sheriff, is making a

making friends and votes every
day. Mr.. Miller is one of those
plain hearty fellows that one has
confidence i'll from first acquaint-

stronger as the acquaintanceship
increases. He is man of positive
convictions, yet is not one of those
antagonistic fellows. On all ques-

A QUESTION OF COST.

After all the whole question of
the permanent location of county
seat hinges upon the question of
cost and expense. This is the basic
principal of the correct locations of
the seats of counties for the trans
action Of their business. Ii is the
principle and the fact that exists
not only during the heat ofa county
seat fight, but will continue to exist
as long as a county has a corporate
existence. 1t is true that this fact
and the principle with it are some
times lost sight of and sometimes
clouded during the discussion Incl
dent to the permanent location of a
county seat. But when the fog has
drifted away that has obscured mems
Judgment then it recurs with
redoubled force, and if they have
been blinded by partisan feeling, or
by some worse motive, and have
accomplished what should not have
been done, then it is always mat
ter Of regret.
In the location of a county seat
therefore, the first, and in fact the
most important thing to consider, is
the cost. In speaking of the cost
Of locations of county seats a wide
field is opened. 1t is not alone the
cost of buying site and putting up
county buildings thereon. In fact
this is the least part of the cost if
the county seat is not properly
located. There is the long and
perpetual line of costs that must be
incurred by the county month after
month and year after year. The
added costs Of mileage and fees soon
amount to more than county bull
dings; the continuous and perpetual
added costs of extra fees for wit
nesses and jurors will build a court
house i'll very few years. The
untold expenses direct upon the
county i'll that shape cannot be
enumerated. And then these do
not constitute all the costs. There
is that direct and ever present cost
of additional travel to and from the
county seat by the greater number
Of the people. This is a cost that
must be borne, not for one year, or
tpr five years, but for a period OF
time that no man can estimate.
Therefor we say that the only
real thing to be considered is a
question of cost. One man might
say that it don make any difference
to him where the county seat is
located, he only goes there once a
Fear to pay his taxes anyway. But
this is not true. 1t does make a
difference to him. The difference
is bound to be shown on the very
face of that tax receipt which the
sheriff gives him when he pays his
taxes. If the county seat is off tc
one side of the county, and is MOI
centrally located as concerns it.
population, then that man pays the
difference of the added costs spoker
of above whan he pays his Other
taxes. These costs must be paic
and they must be paid in taxes
The man that consoles himself tha
he escapes his share of these cost.
because he only goes to the county
seat once year is entirely mistaken
Then there is that other class whC
say that it is only a matter of sci
interest anyway and they are goins
