Lincoln County Leader from Toledo, Oregon • Page 1

Wintdn $Mttip Volume XIV Toledo, Lincoln County, Oregon. Friday, November 30, 190G. Number 10 On the Bay Twenty Years Ago. The following is an excerp from The Yaqiiina Post under date of November 27, 1886 twenty years ago. We offer this to onr readers for an example to poiut to when you hear some dyspeptic knocker say ''your comity never was, and never will be any good." In those days there was something doing every minuet nnd now, with our unlimited and practically undeveloped resources to draw irotn how much better it is bound to he.

Keep pushing. It is rumored that the present low tariff rate for transportation over the O. from the valley to Yoquina City and from here ou the 0. steamers to San Francisco, will bo still further lowered upon the completion of the bridge at Albany: We think we are justified in saying that if freights can be carried at lower figures than now prevail, wilhont absolute loss to the linos, they will be so carried. Col.

Hops from the first declared-that the lines under his charge should be rnn in the interest of the people by hauling their produce at the lowest living rates. As soon as the road was opened from Corvallis, as all the world is aware, shippers were given the lowest iat.es ever before obtained over transportation lines in this State, i.i iii iiv: v.ith r.l! the previoutis declarations of the management and proved that our people rely upon the promises ule in that direction. Now ii. upon the completion of the bridge at Albany and the opening up of traffic with that city, a reduction iu freight and passenger rates should be made, we should not bo at all surprised, for the niiiwigmnent' cf the 0. P.

and D. lines is just the man to put carrying rates at such figures as will barely cover the expense of such carriage. If he don't make monopolies eat short grass in the coming campaign, then we will freely acknowledge we were mistaken in the temper of the man who enntn Is and life to the transportation lines uudei consideration. Keep your eye peeled for too much fun. Mr.

Polhemus made a pleasant call on Monday. Under his superintendence some fifty borings have been made on ttio bar since his arrival here. Those borings how a uniform depth of sand along the line of tho jettv. Upon the completion of tho jetties this will be driven oil', leaving a broad channel, as straight as an arrow, with water sufficient to admit, tho exit or entrance of the vessel thr.t floats uud that at low too. All that is required to make Vaq.iina Kay the finest and most si cure harbor on the coast, with ii sutficloni depth of water on the bar for ships of any class to cross at any tide, is the completion of the present jetty system.

Tnore is no mistake about this, as the -work alroady completed has permanently increased tlie depth of water ou the bar. All the keepers of scows who have been dealing out liquor along the water front at this place, in delianco of the law and best interests oi society, have been taken to Corvallis for treatment. Each case will he duly diagnosed by the Court now in spssion'and the prescription which follow should be so searching as to eti'ect a rudical and permanent cure. Piling has been driven for an extension or rather widiuiug of the docks at the south. Piling will be driven at tho north end, where tho tug has heretofore made her berth, where it is intended to butld an extension of the docks seventy-iivo by fifty feet.

If the season proves favorable the work ox-tending the docks may be pushed still fartiier. For first time, the passenger train over the 0. Wednesday last, passed over the line from this city to Albany, Although but six miles 'of the Albany extension had been graveled to that date, the whole ten miles ws in admirable condition, aud the heavy train passed over it without jar or stop and, returning, reached this city the same evening on time. Tho Yaquina City sailed for San Fra n-cisco Monday, with a full cargo and a lot of passengers. There was a much larger amount of freight oll'ered than could be taken at one trip, which indicates that the business of this port is growing gradually but surely.

'Hah. The steamship sails today with a full cargo. This was made possible by continuous work, night and day, unloading and stowing awav freight. She takes away fifty or sixty carloads of wheat, a large ninbuut of salmon aud miscellaneous frejght. Mcsdames Ann McMillen aud Hoe Elder started for their home in New York in the front of the week The Mise9 Graham, of Toledo, were passengers ou the same train for Ohio.

A pleasant trip to all. Dr. Kayley. J. Fordyce and W.

T. Webber hvvo filod articles incorporating the Seaside Railroad Company, the object being to build a narrow guago from Yaquina City via Nowport to Foulwenther. Tho Mischief arrived in from Siuslaw on Tuesday. She brought up the last of the seasons salmon catch, some beveuty tons. Her next trip will probably be Portlandward, We tire indebted to Mrs.

Blower for some nice fat ducks, left at onr door by that little reitleman, Tommy Blower. Teal are not the largest, but thev are the most delicious of tbe duck Vind, Thanks. The Kate and An Da arrived here from A 1 sea on Monday, with 134 barrel of salmon and 11,500" feet of lumber. She sails down the coast on her next voyage. The Onaetta sawmill has a contract for 80,000 feet of lumber deliverer! in Newport to be used iu building a church and liverv bam.

Gregson Graham of the Caledonia sawmiil have a coutract for 180,000 feet of timbers for the jetty. Thanksgiving clay was somewhat cloudy, otherwise it was warm and pleasnt.

Clayton Pond, a Siletz rancher, made The Leader a call Wednesday and took advantage of one of our numerous subscription propositions.

Frank Nye left for Seattle, last Saturday morning for a rest up after his long aud strenuous attention to business at Altree's saw mill. Wjllie Peterson dropped in from Albany Monday evening, returning Tuesday. Willie is one of the energetic young men in the eyiploy of the C. E. ii.

Cull and see him. George McCluskey writes that he is now teaching school at Gleeson, a mining camp iu the southeastern part of the territory, elevation 5000 feet.

He says: "My health has greatly improved; in fact, I am well." This is certainly good news to George's many friends in Lincoln county. O. G. Divlaba, E. M.

Mays and Chester Dixon were down from Elk City Saturday. Mr. Mays has been a resident of Hillsboro for some time, and while he is doing well there financially, he isn't stuck on tho placo, and came back to hi3 old home to havo a good timo. He declares Ins intention to return- to Lincoln county when the sign is right, lie was in Toledo again Monday, accompanied again by Mr. Dalaba.

"Aunt Jerusha's Quilting Party, presented at Woodmen Hall last Satur day; night, was well patronized, the receipts being $38. GO, the expenses about $4.. The manner iu which the citizens of Toledo lend their assistance to a good cause is heartily appreciated the more because they do not expect too much from local talent. The good music furnished by Mr. and Mrs.

Austin Rosebrook, Mrs. Fred Stanton and Rolla Gaar was a leading factor of the entertainmont. As you saunter down to business in the cool and crispy morn your mind on earthly treasures constantly, your feet slide out from 'neath you, swiftly heavenward they're borne, you jive voice to intonations prayerfully. Then with pain you' amble onward and you gaze with scornful scorn, as the people point with fingers gleefully, then you wonder why the laughter at your physical disaster Ahl your pantaloons are busted "hull gee!"
