On the last San Francisco
steamer the Yaquina Bay Mercan-
tile company had a shipment of
tacks. They are not poll tax, nor
dog tax, but assorted iron tacks.
And thereby hangs a tale. The
manager Of the store filled out an
order for tacks, ordering certain
number of papers of various kinds.
A mistake slipped in some place,
and dozen packages were substitu-
ted for single papers, and the
store has nearly hundred dol
lars worth of tacks on hand.
1t is safe to say that tacks will be
low in Toledo this summer.

Mr.. J. R. Mays, OF Elk City, had
something to say about the LEADER
and the democrats, populists and
free silver republicans in the issue
of a county paper last week. Mr.. |
Mays is a thorough convert to
Sound money" as represented by
the single gold standard, and we
believe him to be honest in convic-
tions upon that subject, and upon
every other subject. Mr.. Mays
was not always a gold standard
man. Many years ago he ran for
legislature upon the greenback tick
ct, being the chief opponent of c.
B. Crosno, the republican candi-
date. Mr.. Mays was firmly con-
WINGED then that there was money
famine, though the per capita cir
culation was greater then than now.
