really we poor editors were not to

Dear Sir
/ have just seen a copy OF the
LINCOLN COUNTY LEADER of Oct. %,
containing an article from your pen
on the opportunity that lies at your
door for building a connecting link
of railroad between your city and
the Siletz country. You are on the
right track when you advise your
people to take hold of the matter
themselves. A stock company
should be organized, and the right
of way secured. Let committee
of three good business men appraise
the right of way on the line Of sur
vey and where it will not be donated
by enterprising land owners whose
land would be doubled by building
a railroad, give them paid up stock
for the fair value o. the right Of
way, and sell stock on the subscrip-
tion plan enough to grade and tie
the road. The subscription to stock
should be made payable in ten in
stallments, payable as fast as needed
to do the work. That kind of a
road will be owned by the stock
holders, and when you get it graded
bridged and tied, you will have no
trouble to get money to put on the
rails or can sell the road for great
deal more than you put into it and
pay back every stockholder his or
iginal subscription or let him re-
main a preferred stakeholder.
AS | told the large audience at
your opera house when | was over
at the fair, the shortest route to
tidewater is via the Falls City,
Siletz and Toledo route. Grading
is being pushed from Salem to Dal-
las and that link will be completed
this winter and cars will be running
over it next spring. 1t is a road of
almost inexhaustible wealth and
will become one of the most valua-
BILE pieces of railroad property in
the state. Once having put your
shoulder to the wheel, do not turn
back because some promoter comes
along and tells you that he will
build it for him if you will make
him a present of it, That kind of
thing is done every day to tie the
country up and delay its real de-

Favors Good Roads.
Seattle, Wash, Oct. 80, 'OS

dent OF your city informs me that
the people of your county are think
ing very seriously of bonding them
selves for the purpose of building
more and better roads. The object
is most laudable one and shows
clearly that your citizens are strick-
ly wideawake as well as up-to-date.
If you will permit, should like
to outline plan by which your
people need not enter into bondage
to any one and may have your
roads built by your own citizens at
the simple cost of the board and
clothes of the laborers. If, instead
of bonding yourselves, you should
decide to tax yourselves direct, my
plan will not only enable you to
build the roads, but financially
benefit every citizen in the county
nt the same time if he is engaged in
any form of productive industry.
| assume that there is an abund
ance of the raw materials out of
which to construct your roads lying
close at hand. If this be true, it is
only necessary to find a way to en-
ploy profitably the idle labor now
going to waste in the county.
Ii there be one hundred men that
can be employed under competent
direction let us see what will hap
pen. AT $3.50 per day for 300
days they would earn S75,OOO.OO
per annum. This expenditure
would result in not less than 30
miles of strictly first class macada-
mized road on which a team could
haul two or three times as much as
on the ordinary dirt apology for a
highway.
Now let us see how this can be done
not only without burden but with
advantage to the entire business
community.
| propose that your County Com
missioners shall buy such rock
crushers and rollers as may be neces-
sary, place them and the men under
CONTROL of skilled foremen and pay
them all with what | shall call
Service Certificates" reading in
effect thus This Certificate has
been issued by Lincoln County Gin
payment for Services rendered, and
1t will be accepted at its face by the
County in payment of taxes. !"
These certificates printed in 81, So,
So, So, and $40 denominations on
bank note paper and signed by the
Treasurer and Auditor of the county
would make of them a local curren-
cy somewhat similar to the Clearing
House certificates with which we
were familiar about a year ago, but
with tins very marked difference.
Every one of them is absolutely
certain of redemption. Everyone
of them represents wealth created
Each week the men would turn
lnto circulation among your business
men $500 or $1,000 of new and
sound currency. A new demand
at once springs up for the product
OF the farmer, the manufacturer and
professional man.
Now if the county chooses, it
may retire them all in one year by
the simple process of increasing the
taxes s75 900, or it may extend
the time of redemption through a
term of years. The former is by
far the best for the county, since
these 100 men must be supported
by the community in some way
and Lincoln County can easily keep
them busy extending and improving
her roads during the term of their
active life, 1t is cheaper to sup
port productive laborers than idle
ones. If you levy tax without

REPORT TO SUPERVISORS
BY SHERIFF J. c. MAGRUDER

the old ones should be carried to the
county farm to be used in keeping
the most desperate prisoners. The
new Jail should be complete through
out and new cages should be sup
Piled. There can be no doubt that
the board should make the jail new
throughout.
President Pace. speaking this af'
ternoon of the Jail at Macon, stated
that he was very much pleased with
1t and that the cost of construction
was in the neighborhood of $4,000
and this included steel cages. From
this it may be inferred that the
bard will include all new cages that
are needed.
The following report anent the
county farm will be submitted to the
board Monday:

1t is the opinion of Sheriff Ma
Igruder and Horrxe Culpepper, super
intendent of the county farm that the
board of supervisors when they build
a new jail should also include four
steel cages, the number needed, and
give the old ones to the county farm,
where prisoners who manifest a de-
sire to escape could be kept. This
is likely also to be the opinion of the
board, that full set of new steel
cages should be purchased and that
