AIDING materially III the settlement and
upbuilding of Lincoln county. Since
starting in the business Mr.. Mixter has
sold 5000 acres lying along the line of
the Corvallis & Eastern, and the adver-
tising pamphlets which he is circulat-
ing throughout the east will soon run
the sales into blg figures. The COM
pany has AL agents, representing var
ious railway companies, the Union
Pacific being especially helpful. These
agents are talking Lincoln county and
doing all in their power to assist home-
seekers in finding the spot they're
looking for. Mr.. Mixter is on the
ground and always ready to show them
around and hand out tempting bar
gains in real estate. He is a hustler,
and should be appreciated by all who
are interested in the advancement of
Lincoln county.
County Clerk Ira Wade has been
having fun in the hay field this week.
The knowing ones say it is a political
scheme, that he is training for The
Congressional race against Hermann
two years hence. We don't believe it.
We believe Ira makes hay because he
likes it--that is, likes the work-not
the hay.
