The only prisoner now in the
county Jail, says the Corvallis I'm
ion, is boy not yet come TO the
age of manhood. He is there, ac-
cused of serious crime committed
in Lincoln county. The awful
loneliness of his situation. as he
sits eating his heart out with vain
regrets, and listens to the town
clock over his head as it tolls off
the hours of his life is fearful to
contemplate; while before him may
only be a term in living tomb at
the penitentiary; and how easy it
might have all been otherwise. II
there is any man or woman on earth
who contributed in the smallest de-
gree to this young mans
downfall, he or she ought to have
an uneasy feeling where their heart
used to be; for in the great reckon
ing he may take higher seat than
they.

Curry county seems to be the
home of vendetta that is as mur-
derous and bloodthirsty as was that
of the malta in New Orleans a few
years ago. 1t is blot upon civil
ization and disgrace upon the
state of Oregon. The best thing
that could happen in Curry county
would be three or four judicial
hangings. When band of outlaws
take matters in their own hands
and slay and murder from ambush,
then it is time to adjust the hang
mans moose.

A SEMI-WEEKLY EDITION.

We present to our leaders this
week the semi-weekly edition of the
LEADER. This edition will appear
on Tuesday of each week, while the
weekly edition will be published on
Friday hereafter, instead Of Thurs
day.
This change TO a semi-weekly is
in the nature of an experiment. We
do not guarantee that it will con-
tinue. That will depend entirely
upon how it is received by the pat
rons of the paper. 1t will be kept
up as long as we believe it justi6es
us to do so. We believe, however,
that the people of Lincoln county
will appreciate the enterprise of the
LEADER and will give it sufficient
encouragement to warrant the pub
fishing of two papers a week. The
news as sent out by a weekly paper,
must be, in part at least, stale before
it reaches the the readers. This is
an age of advancement, and the
country newspaper must keep up
with the age, the same as everything
else. We believe that in sending
two papers to our readers each week
instead of one, that we only mark
the progressive spirit of the live and
energetic people of our county.

The country newspaper man that
don't get rich is certainly tool,
for he has all the opportunities.
Only last week we received an OTTER
from an eastern firm that would put
us we'll on the road to wealth and
luxury if Our conscience had not
stood in the way of robbing the
poor firm that made the offer. 1t
was an advertiser ent of some pat
ent nostrum, and the heading OF
the ad. was, "How to tell" 1t
would take about eight inches SIN
ole column measure, and the tlrm's
modest request was that it should
be run at top of column, alongside
and above pure reading matter on
local page. For this service they
offered the munifcent sum OF S5 per
wear. This high price included two
copies of the paper sent to different
addresses. Deducting the So worth
of subscription it would leave us
the stupenduous sum of s. for S24
worth of advertising. We have not
closed the contract yet, but in look
inc over our exchanges we note
that "there are Others" and we are
forced to the conclusion that when
a man throws open the columns OF

We notice by three or four papers
that the brand new government In
dian inspector Mcconnell has been
stating that he found things in very
bad shape at some of the agencies
he visited, and that he had recon-
mended some sweeping changes in
the mode Of conducting these agen-
cies. Isn't it grand thing that
the government discovered this man
Mcconnell and secured his valua-
BILE sci vices? Well bet, however,
that the first sweeping change"
he will run against will be a change
sweeping him out of a good fat Of
flee, if he don't learn to keep his
mouth shut and stop making pub
lie the substance of his reports.
The system of conducting the In
dian affairs has been employed by
the Indian department before Nc
Connell entered the service, and we
daresay that 1t will outlive his ten
ure of Office. The department is
peculiar. II wants the inspectors
to report TO it only, and not set up
a chatter about its business in the
corner grocery and the village ho-
tel.

One oe the objections which is
said to be urged by the secretary of
war against the work at Yaquina
harbor is the small amount of COM
merce going through the port.
This objection is not tenable, and in
fact, is not the real one. If fnever
pound of freight come in or went
out over. the Yaquina bar, then the
government would still be justified
i'll expending one million dollars for
improvements on the entrance to
the harbor, to make a harbor of
refuge. The storm of last week,
alone, proved that. Another thing.
1t is not OH the freights that come
and go through this harbor that the
only saving is effected. The same
proportion Of saving is made upon
every pound of produce shipped out
of, or merchandise shipped into the
vast, thickly settled and productive
country from Roseburg to Salem.
1t is a well-known fact that the va
quina route has reduced the freight
rates on grain from Valley points to
San Francisco from six to twelve
cents per bushel. Does anyone be-
lieve that the old rates would have
been reduced except for the compe-
tition of the Yaquina route? 1t acts
as safety valve, and sets the rate
on all the freights whether they go
through Yaquina harbor or by some
other route. But the figures are in
existence to prove that for every
dollar the government has spent on
the harbor at Yaquina, the people,
who are the government, have been
paid back in saved freights, not one
dollar, but nearly three. Can the
Can the secretary Of war then say
that the work is not justifable?
The government will expend a
million dollars and over on a custom
house at Portland, and yet the only
saving to the government will be
some $4,000 a year rent. Does any
one believe that a million dollars
expended at Yaquina would not
save to the people, who are the gov
ernment, many times $1,000 every
year?
The prospect Of securing the ap-
preparation for Yaquina harbor now
seem brighter than for some time.
The delegation is thoroughly
aroused to the fact that it is some
thing more than a local matter, but
that the greater portion Of the peo-
pie of Oregon are interested in the
harbor in a financial way. The
people, too, are aroused to the fact
