Individual Opinion.

EDITOR GAzETTE:-By your kind
permission I would like to say a
few words about those muddy,
rough rock crossings on Main street.
I shall offer what I consider a
reasonable suggestion: Take up
the rocks on those four crossings,
and sell them to some one who is
building for foundation. They
are as good as new and would like
ly sell for money enough to pay
for the lumber to build good plank
crossings. These crossings should be
s orl0 feet wide and that they should
be put on a level with the sidewalks,
instead Of a twelve inch jump down,
as is now the case on the corner at
Aliens drugstore.
never could see any good rea.
son why the sidewalks on Main
street should be ten feet wide, and
the crosswalks only a little over
three feet. It seems to me that
the sidewalks and crossings should
be of uniform width.
I hope the council will take i'm.
mediate action upon this matter,
as these rock crossings have been
very unsatisfactory from the be-
ginning. An OLD CITIZEN.

A Genuine Romance.

A New York dispatch Of Novem-
Der j, says: Mrs. Ruth Markham,
of Hartford, has just left for Leba-
non, Oregon, where she will marry
Charles B. Green, rich grocer
The marriage will end a romance
that began a half century ago.
When she was six years old, Mrs.
Markham and Green an adopted
orphan, nine years Of age, were
playnates. The children were
reared together, and when Green
was II, he asked the girl to marry
him. She refused and married Mr..
Markham. Green went to war, and
afterwards went West. Mr.. and
Mrs. Maxham lived in Hartford for
35 years. Mr.. Markham died last
spring. and letter from his widow
to the friend Of her youth brought
an Immediate offer of marriage, as
Green is also a widower. Mrs.
Maxham accepted, and left for his
home accordingly. The groom is
81 years old, and the bride So.

Land Grants to be Opened.

Mr.. Wallis Nash was in Cor
wallis, Saturday, and was pre-.
vailed upon to deliver the last
address of the campaign at the
court house in the evening. Mr..
Nash's home is at Nashville,
Oregon. He says that in the
last two years there have been
1000 new settlers located in Lin
coin county.
"The county is having mar
velous growth, from 10 to 20
new people arriving every day.
They are mostly Scandinavians
from Minnesota and Wisconsin,
and they make the best kind of
settlers. There is bat little
government land which has not
been taken up by this time. All
of the good timberland has been
located on, but agricultural land
can be bought at low figure.
The new settlers @re for the
most part going into dairying
and stockraising, and they are
clearing up the land at great
rate. One thing of Importance
which has not been made public
to any extent is the fact that the
land grants en the Corvallis &
Eastern line are about to be
opened up, and the land placed
on the market. There are be-
tween 10000 and SO, 900 and it
will sell all the way from 81 to
81 an acre. It is all agricul-
tural and grazing land, and much
of it can be used for orchards.
The fruit we have raised is of
the finest, and few of the erdi-
nary diseases which bother the
orchardists are apparent. There
are no Goblin moths on the
western slope, and the apples
are Of the bestquality. There is
large tract of barren land be-
tween that slope, and the Will
lamette Valley, and the Goblin
moshs have not crossed it." Mr..
Nash has a large stock ranch,
with which he has been doing
we'll. Steers were sold this year
for $40 that were not worth $22
four years ago.
Mr.. Nash has been in Joseph
inc and Lane counties the past
two weeks, i'll the interests of
the republican party, and says
the outlook is promising for
Mckinley. He says the repub-
lican managers in Josephine
county hope to reduce the ma
jority of $50 which Bryan re-
eeived in 1896. In Lane county
Mr.. Nash visited fishermen and
loggers west from Eugene to
the coast, and says that at one
meeting of saw mill men, at
tended by SO persons, there were
only two of them who announced
their intention of voting for
Bryan. Everywhere he has Wis
tied, it is reported that McKin-
ley will receive an increased
vote.

A Phi1ipsine Soldier.
Arthur 7. Paoco. a member

Arthur 7. Penco, a member of
Company M, goth Regiment,
U. S. V, stationed at Santo
Thomas, Philippine Islands, has
written the following letter to
his parents, and it is published
in the Salem Statesman, as fol-
lows:
"The anti-expansionists at
home have simply ruined all
prospects Of any peaceable ter
mination of the troubles here, at
least until after election. They
have discouraged our men and
encouraged our enemies. Even
admitting the soNndness Of their
views, they are guilty of the
highest treason, and hundreds
of deaths must Of necessity be
laid at their door. They (the
natives) have the greatest conf
deuce in Mr.. Bryan, and they
do not hesitate to tell US that as
soon as he is elected the soldiers
will be sent away and they will
run things to suit themselves.
ssI was down at Calamba a
few days ago and saw large
picture of Mr.. Bryan stuck up
on natives hut. They all
firmly believe that he will be-
elected in November, and they
also believe the anti-expansion-
lists are largely in the majority
in the United States. From
their point of view they can see
it i'll no other light.
cit makes me weary every
time see in one of the States
papers where some anti is shoot
ing his head off about these poor
downtredden people over here,
and how they are being imposed
upon by the Americans, aud yet
these people who are doing all
the talking do not know any
more about the true condition
of affairs in the Islands than l
do about preaching a sermon.
In the first place they are better
off now than they were ever in
their lives before; have more
liberty and more to eat and are
making more money.
ttWhat hurts us most is what
the papers at home say about us.
What can we do? No soldier
can say for himself, This war is
not right and I'll not fight.
The majority of us will be glad
when we can return to civil life.
We are all tirsd of it but we can
not leave until there is big
change in the situation. In the
meantime, we need encourage
meut, instead of being branded
as murderers, robbers and des-
peradoes.
81 don't believe you will IND
a man in the service here who
would be willing to give UP
these Islands. 1t keeps a fellow
guessing. I don't knw what to
make OF it. have been demo-
crat all my life, and was always
a great admirer of Mr.. Bryan,
but I cannot for the life Of 1ne
see how man >eoscientiously
can be follower of Bryan and
fight under tho Stars and Stripes
at the same tiE1e."

While the meeting was hastily ar
ranged and little opportunity was
had to advertise it, the court house
was comfortably filled. Mr.. Nash's
effort was scholarly, and bis
handling of the various subjects
marked the student rather than the
exhorter. Reason, not prejudice,
was appealed to, and the audience
put on its thinking cap and kept it
there during the evening. This
was Mr.. Nash's last speech of the
campaign, and he returned home
Monday after an absence of three
weeks.
What is said to have been the
most successful and enthusiastic
political meeting ever held in that
precinct occurred at Oak Grove
school house Friday evening. The
voters were out in force and the
speakers and quartet were ap'
/ plauded to the echo. Nothing wat
said to offend the most ardent
Bryan man, and if there were any
supporters of the Nebraskan in the
audience they gave the speakers re
spectful hearing and Joined the re-
publicans in having good time
