Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1900-05-25
LOCAL IN BRIEF.

In Lincoln county this week talk
ing goats. AS we'll be seen by a
notice in another column, Mr..
Houck will have an auction sale of
goats at his ranch near Monroe on
June 10. Our ranchers who want
a start in this valuable industry
might club together and send one
of their number out there to make
the purchases. BY SO doing the
cost of getting the animals into
Lincoln county would be but very
little per head. Lincoln county
needs goats-25o,ooo, Mr.. Houck
says-and here is a chance to
secure few.

LIEUT.. FLIppsR SHOULD BE RESTORED

The friends of Lieut.. Henry O..
Flipper, though having met many dis.
coursging rebuffs, have not given up
all hope of securing his restoration to
the United States army, from which he
was summarily and unjustly dismissed
some years ago. Memorials are being
drafted d in several states, and will be
presented to the Congressional delega-
tions, with a view of influencing tav
orable action at the next session. This
course is eminently proper and we
trust it will prove effective in remedy.
iDg as gross an outrage as was ever
perpetrated upon an army officer. We
have never believed that Lieut. Flip
per was guilty of any wrong-doing;
but had he even committed some tech
meal vio alton of law, the punishment
meted cut to him was cruel and un-
usual. 1t would be no more than right
for Congress now to take the view that
he has suffered enough, and vote to
give him back as far as possible the
clean record that was and is his by
every natural right. Our people
should work on their congressman in
In the several districts and try to do
their best to help Lieut.. FlIpper's just
cause.
