A STALE ISSUE.

1t was stated on the streets of
Toledo last week, by good reliable
man from the south side, that there
was quite a number of voters on the
Alsea who have said that they will
not vote for anyone who had aided
in dividing Benton county. This is
a very singular statement to be
made three years after the county
has been divided. 1t is a well
known fact that Our taxes have
been less since the division Of the
county, and yet we have had more
roads and bridges built during the
past three years than we had in the
ten years previous to that time, and
our total indebtedness is less than
one-fourth of that of Benton county.
And another thing; the remon-
STRANGE sent in by people who were
residents of what is now Lincoln
county and who were opposed to
division contained about III names,
as against nearly 100 petitioners.
Ii that matter is raken up and made
an issue, we would like to know if
the 1T could expect to electanyone
ever the 100 who favored division.
We do not believe there are now
dozen men living in Lincoln
county who were on the reinon-
STRANGE who are not now satisfied
with the division of the county. 1t
was their right and privilege as
American citizens to oppose division
ard no one thinks the less Of them
for that, but now three years after
that matter was settled anyone who
still keeps harping and howling OIL
this old string must be q sc-ehead,
and it would BE- better for all CON
cerned if he would move over into
Benton county, il there are really
any of them living il Lincoln
county.
It is waste Of time 70 tall; about
undoing the past, and as our
Interests are the same in many
things it will be better ii we use our
wind and muscle in helping to push
Lincoln county to the front and heal
u the old sores.

Ore.cE the West NaQuiua argu-
memts used for county seat purposes,
is that when the county seat is
!oCatel al West Naquiua a big
summer hotel will be built near the
lite-saying station, and with a
good road from West Naquina TO
that place the greater part OF the
summer visitors can be diverted to
the south side. There may be
some truth in that argument, but
while it is all right for the south
side it will be an injury to the
north side.

IN speaking of the nomination Of
j. X. Lake for joint representative,
the Corvallis Gazette says that
i""coln county had no candidate to
oaer for thar place, and so the
,ortiugtion was given to Benton
{. H1tv RAN. II this be true we
would Ike to know what became OF
iHc.'u's statesmen that were will
! e togo 20 the legislature. Serious
l.. speAAtug, the Gazette must be in
error. There were men in Lincoln
CgW ty who would have undoubted-
" taken the nomination had they
had the opportunity. DR.. +. NJ.
Carter, of Elk City, had been fire.
quently mentioned as candidate
for representative honors. DR..
Carter is one of the substantial tax
payers and citizens of Lincoln
county, and has been a resident OF
this county for over a quarter of a
century, and has been identified
with the advancement ofthe country
DR.. Carter would have reflected
honor upon the office had he been
elected, and Lincoln county would
have had representative.

WHAT IS CHEAP LABORr

If the idea is good that cheap
laber is the all essential to cheap
manufacturing, the Use of slave
labor would enable any country to
outstrip the world in making cheap
goods. But it is not true. The
cheapest labor is nearly always the
dearest labor when measured by
the results of its work. 1t is intel
ligeut and skilled labor that uses
steam power and the latest i'm
proved machinery that turns out
goods cheaply. Hence, all the
talk alb out competing with foreign
aud ignorant labor is fallacious.
The American mill hand that skill
fully manages six to eight looms
weaves twenty times the cloth that
slow, plodding, ignorant laborer
does in managing two old fashioned
looms, and the labor cost of his
product is, therefore, much less.
In other words, if a laborer gets
two dollars day and turns out 100
yards of cloth he can sell his goods
cheaper than the man can who gets
fifty cents a day and turns on: only
ten Yards of cloth. .-Walia Walla

locate i'll Lincoln county this year.
Already many inquiries are being
made about the advantages of on,

YAoUlNA BAY IMPROVEMENTS.


The river and harbor bill has run
the gauntlet of the senate committee
and all the Oregon appropriations
have been retained, including the
/ placing of the ST 900, 900 project for
a deep water entrance at Yaquina
Bay under the continuous contract
system. There is but little doubt
but that the bill will pass the senate
in its present form. If so this will
provide for the immediate appropri
ating of $4,000 to complete the
present project, which sum will
become available at once, and will
be expended during the present
year. The secretary of war will be
authorized to enter into contracts
for material and labor necessary to
complete the project, such contracts
to be continuous until the work is
complete. The dispatches in the
Oregonian about the matter says:
Perhaps some explanation ought
to be made in regard to the river
and harbor bill in reference to what
was secured for Oregon in the bill
as it passed the house. While there
are about $500, 900 appropriated out
right for carrying OH works in
Oregon, three contracts are author
lied, one for Yaquina Bay, to cost
in all 81, 500, 900, one for the Upper
Willamette, to cost $13I,oo and
one for the Yainhill, to cost 500, 900.
These contracts are to be made Cy
the war department to complete the
projects according to the plans ap-
proved by the engineers from recent
surveys and estimates. By this
contract system, appropriations will
be made from year to year in the
sundry civil appropriation bill as
the money is needed. 1t has been
found upon past trials that the con-
tract system secures an earlier con-
pletion Of the work, and at the same
tine it costs from 10 to so per cent.
less, as the contractors, having the
whole work to do, can take into
consideration the purchase and
equipment of plant, and machinery
to carry on the work continuously,
and not compelled to make allow
ances for the cost of a plant only to
begin or carry on portion OF the
work. 1t is probable that in the
next sundry civil bill, appropriations
will ne made for all these works
under the contract system in ac-
cordance with the estimates which
the engineers may make. The
work at the cascades was completed
III this way much sooner than could
have been done under the fcrmer
system, especially as there IS now
no possibility Of passing river ard
harbor bill at the short session OF
congress, ard each bill must last for
two years.
In several Of the contracts author-
lied for other sections ofthe country,
not dollar was appropriated for
beginning to work, but the repre-
sentatives Of the localities where the
contracts were authorized, were
perfectly satisfied to have the con-
tracts alone made a part OF the bill.
Probably there was not 20 per cent
OF the amount appropriated where
contracts were authorized. The
fact that the bill carried contracts
authorized to the amount of SSH
900, 900, while the bill itself only
carried SIo,ooo,ooo, actually ap-
propriated, shows how far the con-
tract plan has gone"

Without a Brain.

DIR. S. S. Koser Of Williamsport, has made
remarkable discovery, which will be a
theme of much discussion among medical
men. The patient died from the effects of a
tumor, and was blind for over three years
At the post mortem examination the
most singular fact developed was that
the entire brain had been followed out by
the action of the tumor The cavity was at
least five inches in length, and was filed
with pus. All left of the brain was a
thin shell, composed of the tougher tissues
where the brain matter gathers into nerves.
which were less susceptible to the process of
decay. When an incisiOn was made in the
shell the whole mass collapsed. The cir
cumstances which made the case almost
unprecedented in the annals of medical
science was the manner in which the patient
retained his nationality and faculties under
the circumstances He had the senses of
touch, taste, hearing and smell, had very
tolenble control of his locomOtor muscles,
could talk, and, in fact, was comparatively
discommOded in no other way than by the
loss of vision. His retention of memory
was remarkable He was able to memorize
poems up to within two weeks of his death.

The entertainment under the auspices of

Byron w. King possesses a voice of wonder
ful force, scope and hexibility. 1t has a
wide range of expression. He plays upon
every chord of feeling His pathos is in
describable. Without speaking word,
solely by the expression of his face, and the
tears that start from his eyes, moves his
audience to tears. His portrayal of all
human passion is mastery, indeed. Fierce
anger, hate, wild scorn, love, threat, sus-
picion, woe, delight, fear and fortitude come
and go upon his features like flashes of vivid
lightning. Hear him, and you'll never re.
