Mr.. Dawson is still very low.
Mrs. B. F, Grant IS about we'll
again.
Messrs. Mcclellan and Cameron
went to Corvallis last week for sup
plies. They had quite a time.
Had two run-a-ways, broke down
twice, upset once and pulled the
bottom of the road all on top and
finally came home horse back.
They went back the next day after
their wagon. They had copper riv-
its, sugar, baking powder, oat meal,
Meats Foot oil and various other
things all mixed up in one conglom-
Grafton in the upset, and they re-
port the roads as not very good.
The loggers all started their logs
for Elk City, and the last report we
had they were getting along fine.
They have about six hundred logs
in the drive. Jim Hodges, Delbert
Hodges, Willis and Lester Grant
and B. o. Young are doing the
driving.
The warm rain is starting the
grass little. Looks like we might
have Spring after while but none to
soon, for feed is getting mighty
scarce.
The supervisor has replaced the
bridge-that went down with Ben
Young and team.
Miss Sarah January has got back

There have been several land
buyers in and more send word they
are coming.
Mr.. Jess Farrin returned from
Toledo. He says Le could not find
a place at Toledo that suited him.
Now he will try Sheridan. We

a better place than he has here.

Jesse Stone has began work on his
place getting ready to milk ten or
fifteen cows for the cheese factory.

All that attended Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Bones sociable report fine
time. Mrs. May Butterfield pre-
pared the dinner for 27 and supper
for 81. She had as fine candy as
could be made by any one. The
company made three comforts and
quilted one quilt. All worked their
initials on the quilt. May we have
many more such social gatherings.

c. R. Evans has been up the
Alsea looking after some logs for
the Lumber Company.
Antoine Jensen came in on the

recently purchased.
The c. j. Smith Realty Company
has moved its office SO as to give
Christen Jensen possession of the
property the company formerly
occupied.
A one thousand candle power
lamp has been ordered for the band
hall and will arrive in few days.
This will be a great improvement
over-the present lamps.
The dance given in the dance hall
Thursday evening was well attended.
AS the band progresses their music
is very much appreciated.
The masque ball given on the 22d
was well attended and a success
in every way. A large number of
visitors came in from Newport and
Tidewater and added to almost all
of Waldport's population, they
filled the hall to overflowing. The
band furnished the music. Finan-
cially the dancing club was consider
ably ahead.
The committee which attended
the Port meeting at Newpor. came
home with the re port that the plan
was unboubte dly defeated, as New
port had quietly got busy with
petition to form a port of their own
and thus had the County Port
headed off The committee also ad-
vised that the residents of the Alsea
form a port and thus be in a posi-
tion to derive some benefit from the
immense body of timber in the
south end of the country. j. H.
Glines circulated petition and
secured "a names which is in ex-
cess of the number required by law
to put the plan before the voters of
the district The petition was then
sent to the county court. The dis
trict to be embraced in the port of
Alsca is all that part of the county
lying south of the township lines
between townships twelve and
and thirteen. The district will
therefore be bounded by Benton
County on the East and Lane
County on the South. These port
petitions may make it necessary for
the County Court to rcadjust the
precinct lines as in few cases will
the precinct lines correspond with
the exterior limits of the ports, but
in any case the law provides that the
court must call the special election
within certain limits as to time.
The Alsea petition was filed Feb
ruary 9th so we may expect an
election sometime between April Is
and May 5th.

Mr.. Irwin Replies

Editor LEADER: We commend
the LEADER and the good people of
Toledo in their united effort for the
upbuilding of their town, and no
one should find fault with any
honest effort to make it the best
town possible.
We have no better authority than
the LEADER for the sentiment, that
it is poor policy to attempt to build
up town at the expense of its
neighbor. This is equally true of
personal reputation. When one
judges of the motives of another,
they usually apply their own stand
ard of measurement.
1t is for the best interests of So
cieiy that the people should not
only take an interest in the public
affairs of the county, but should
express their opinions on such mat
ters.
The LEADER has done a good
service to the county in discussing
its public affairs. Why then should
| be censured and my motives mis-
represented, for expressing an opin-
ion, even if such opinion seems to
be not in accord with some of the
people of Toledo? Does Tolefo
claim monopoly on private al
public opinion as well as nearly
everything else in the county? I
would not ask Toledo to give us the
sawmills, because they belong to
private companies, and if we would
get them we would have to deal
direct with these companies. |
would not ask Toledo to give us the
county seat, becouse it belongs to
the whole county, and they have
placed it at Toledo for little while
until they find better place for it.
would not ask Toledo for the high
school, because that is under the
control Of the County High School
Board, and we feel sure they will
put it in the right place for the best
interests OF the county schools. [
would not ask Toledo for any school
Or road district, because both of
these matters are under the direction
of the County Court, who will no
doubt divide these districts with
reference to the interests of the
whole county.
There is no doubt but that 'To-
|edo is on the map" but she is
rather premature in presuming to
be the whole county, with such
things as county seat, county high
school and road districts to give
away. S. G. IRWIN.

The people OF Oregon, Washing
ton and the Pacific Northwest, will
have an opportunity 10 see a man
bird" in actual flight. Lots of us
have read about flying machines and
it is TIE desire of every one to see
one of these soaring across country,
disputing for space in the heavens
with the clouds, and making speed
that will put the fastest bird in the
world to shame.
There will be big Aviation Meet
at Portland on March 5, 6 and 7,
which will be the first chance that
has been given the people of this
part of the country to see this actual
marvel. People who talked of fly
ing machines five years ago were
considered dreamers, but it is guar
anteed by the business men of Port
land who are back of the flying ms
chine meet Inat unless there are
genuine CROSSE country and high alti-
tude flights, ticket money will be
refunded. Charles X. Hamilton,
the daring avitor who, operating a
Curtiss biplane, holds the worlds
records for high sdeed with a mile
in 1877, the worlds slow speed,
which is more difficult, with a mile
in 4 minuits, will try to take the
high altitude record at the Portland
meet. Because of the stiffness of
the air currents around Portland he
believes he can do this.

size Of Jersey cow, and it cannot be
said that he bears much resemblance
TO the American bison. His body and
legs suggest both the antelope and the
goat, his back is like that of a yak and
his head, which is surrounded by curv-
ing horns, has the bulging nose which
suggests that of the moose. The takin
has hoofs which are parted and his
ways are like those Of the goat. He
is a rather heavy animal, yet he
spends his time in the western noun.
tains Of the SZe-Chuan province, where
he gets about among the crags as
lightly as does the big horn of the
Rockies. He is strong and able
bodied and in a fight can give a good
account Of himself.
The hide of the takin which was
sent here was dry and as hard as q
board, and Mr.. Higgins, chief taxider-
mist Of the museum, had long strug-
gle with it in getting 1t into proper
form, but by following the hair pat
terms he has been enabled to present
the skin with all the distinction which
an animal of such complicated ana
tony deserves.
The hOofs OF the creature are very
hard and have grooves and scratches
In them, which indicate that he was
well accustomed to making his agile
way over the sharp rocks In his native

The white people in Macon County
are of the very best class. There is

advise colored people who are now
living in crowded towns or cities,

ty of land to cultivate and rear their

NOW READY

Col. Lewis Jefferson the most sue
cessful steamboat operator in the
country announces that he is now
ready to receive dates for the excur-
sion season for his two boats, the
River Queen and the Jane Mosley.
these are two of the best boats that
run upon the Potomas waters. Col
Jefferson has again renovated his
boats at a cost of several thousands
dollars and at the beginning of the
excursion season, the several excur-
sions that are under the control of
Col. Jefferson will be frst-class.
The Bee states now as it has al
ways stated that these two boats
shou1d be encouraged for the reason
that Col. Jefferson has made it pos
sible for colored Americans to enjoy
themselves, when all other enter
prises of a similar character have
barred them. The coming season
will be the largest and the best in the
history. Secure your dates at once
because there will be no other boat
running this season for colored Ameri-
cans.

THE OLD NEGRO NANNY
From the New York Sun.


We see that the Galveston people
who proposed in the first place to
erect a monument to the old colored
nanny have been prevailed upon to
transfer the location to Washington,
making it a national affair and invit-
ing all parts of the country to con-
tribute 1t is good and pleasant op-
portunity, in our opinion and we
should like to see the whole nation
take part in it. Storied urns and sac
red edihces have been placed in all
parts of our land, dedicated to MEM
ories good, bad and Indifferent and to
achievements noble, benehcent or
otherwise. We see heroes, some of
them too cheap to quote, careering
on stationary but foaming horses, and
mark the attitudes of sculptured pa
triots and statesmen. most of whom
are planted in our private pantheons
and immortalized in grateful mem
ory. But we encounter also the eff
fgies of Mud-stained publicists and
futile warriors and questionable
benefactors. Nothing more or less
could be expected We let it go at
that. All Of us, however, can unite
upon the old black nanny, the mil
lions who have enjoyed her kindly
and the other and more
numerous millions who have only
heard of them.
