Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1904-06-17


through the south end of the county.
He was compelled to wait seven hours
in Toledo for scow to take his team
across the bay to the county road.
This is all aggravating condition that
should not much longer exist. The
people across the bay and in the south
part OF the county generally are enti
tied to ferry, bridge or some other
certain means Of reaching the county
seat. Delay in the matter is simply
false economy and an injustice to
large per cent OF the taxpayers. The
necessary cost will soon be made good
by the increase in both population and
prosperity of the south end of the
county. 1t is good place in which to
temporarily increase that awful county
debt, which frightens SO many of our
good people during every political cam
paign.
While in Siletz last week THE LEADER
force had the privilege of attending a
session of the Epworth League of that
place. This is one of the finest organ
izations of that character we have ever
seen in action, and would be credit to
larger place than Toledo, which, it
must be confessed, it outclasses. The
League is we'll ofiicered, and each de-
partment is special feature. The
music is especially good. If you hap.
pen to be in Siletz on Sunday evening
attend the Epworth League service.
You will be splendidly entertained.
