THE COAST RAILROAD
is GETTING NEARER
Many Citizens of Toledo and Vicinity Get Together
and Pledge Their Assistance to the Project
Right f-Way Company Organized

There was something doing in Toledo
the fore part of the week-in fact,
there is still something doing. After a
months mixup with rumor, pessimism
and doubt, the situation is cleared and
our citizens are lined up in support of
the Oregon Coast & Eastern railway
proposition.
Thomas Leese, president of the Lin
coin County Bank, has been very active
and persistent in securing satisfactory
evidence OF the genuineness of the
project and the financial responsibility
OF its promoters. He laid the result of
his investigation before the people,
placed upon it the seal OF his approval
and Started the work of organizing for
a united effort in securing right.of-
way for a railroad through Lincoln
county north and south.
Three citizens meetings--the third
held Wednesday evening-resulted in
the organization of the Lincoln County
Right of-Way Company, with William
Scarth, j. F. Stewart and G. IL. Gardner
as incorporators.
A board of directors was elected con-
sisting of William Scarth, NJ. n. Ander-
son, Lee Wade, A. T. Peterson, j. F.
Stewart, c. E. Hawkins and Otto o.

NEWPORT, Or, March 5, 1906.
To the many inquiries concerning my
attitude on the judgeship, would say |
will not be candidate for reelection.
have had the Office four years and am
ready to turn it over to some other man.
lwant 10 take this opportunity to
thank the people of Lincoln county for
their support in electing me to this i'm.
portant office, and for their kind advice
and help during the term. In looking
over the past four years l can say with
clear conscience that | did the best |
could under existing circumstances. |
regret that more improvements could
not have been made, but considering
the heavy Indebtedness hanging over
the county when began, l thought it
wise to first stop the leaks. This has
been done and the Indebtedness de.
creased several thousand dollars. Our
warrants are at par, even at premium.
1nere Is every reason for the people to
take courage and press forward, for the
time Is near when the wealth of our
county which up to this time has been
non-taXable will be on the lax rolls and
various enterprises will come to bear
their part In the government of the
county and its development. With the
rlght men at the helm, we are on the
highway to success.
l have tried to administer the affairs
with Righteousness and fearlessness.
and what have done has been without
hope of reward or fear OF punishment.
L am now ready to hel p elect any good
man whom the party may put up.
With best wishes for the success OF
our common county, l am sincerely
yours c. NJ. Brown.
