Jay Buford and B. F. Jones were at Corvallis on depot business last Monday, and were very success ful in their mission. We have an able and interesting article on the Rock creek country which we are unable to publish this week for lack of space. We understand that A. Rosebrook the musician, has secured a position with an orchestra in Portland, and will leave for that place next Mon day. Sam Logan expects to get a job as a deep sea diver, and so to get in practice took a dive into the chilling waters of Depoe Slough near the saw mill. He found the water wet. Coll. VanCleave came in from his home at Albany Wednesday even ing of this week. He will get out an issue of the Yaquina Post this week and probably returned to his family Saturday morning. Mrs. Altree will soon start a restaurant in the building now oc cupied by II. Lewis. Mr. Lewis will move his goods into the post office building and Postmaster Burt will move the office into the Mc Dougall store building. All these changes will occur about the first of May. The business men of Yaquina City feel that the action of the O. P. In paying no time checks out of the 43 per cent of back pay worked a serious hardship upon them. They have been carrying the em ployes for many months and taking time checks for security and they think in all fairness that the same per centage of those should have been paid as was paid the actual la borers. Sheriff Landis informs us that taxes are being paid at a very good rate, he having received Up to date something near $4,000. He states also, that he is receiving many letters everyday from non-residents who are not on the roll making en quiries concerning their taxes, It is safe to say that the tax roll will be a more equable affair after Sheriff Landis gets through with it as he is doing almost us much assessing as he is collecting.- F. Dudley Carson, of MinneaK- lis, a graduate of the law school of Washington City, is on his way to Oregon and will locate at Toledo, lie comis highly recommended LJYing references from the Hon. W. D. Wushburn, U. S. Senator; Hon. John P. Rea, G. A. R.: F.x-Cover- nor Pillsbury and several others. The Rev. Chas. Booth, of Newport, is personally acquainted with Mr. Carson, and is satisfied that clients will find him a well read and care ful lawyer. An Elk City correspondent of the Corvallis Times says: A short time ago the murderer Burdette Wolfe passed through this place on his way up Big lilk. He acted like a crazy man. A lady who saw him on the road recognized him as the Identical man who killed the young lady in Fast Portland, while going home from Sunday School. This lady said she knew him in Portland. It was a great mistake that the authorities were not noti fied so that he could have been or rested. Social vigilance should be kept up for such fellows. The contract between the citizens ami railroad company has been duly executed by both parties and a substantiabrick depot is assured to Toledo. By the terms of the contract the citizens agree to pay 50, in money and to furnish an equal amount of labor on the build ing. The company, in return ogree to erect within sixty days from tho date of the contract a brick depot building at Toledo of the size and dimensions s before agreed upon, which, we believe, was 30x60 feet. This will ba a great benefit to the town and sur rounding country. We were shown a valuable relic by Dr. Divcn, of Waldport, last week. It was a copy of the New England Weekly Journal, bearing the date of April 8, 1728, making it a few days over 165 years old. The paper is about 8xu inches in sie and most unique in appearance. It calmly states that it gives all the latest news, and its late news con sists of letters from England dated the preceding October and Novem ber. Among Its advertisements are Mourning the wish sell jwnd in its news col V; lt of the famous ?",date. The pa- S n rned very Credit the weather clerk with a few good days. Larkey Logan, a Siletz merchant, was in Toledo today after freight. The plat of S. A. Logan's new town up the river bears the title of Logansport. Five car loads of brick for the new depot at this place have arrived, This looks like business. Assessor Parker is now working toward the south part of the county and will be down on the Alsea next week in all probability. The two heaviest tax payers of Lincoln county reside in Newport. The heaviest is Samuel Case, who pays this year $387 in taxes, and John A. Olsson comes next with $331 The Benton after spending sev eral days in repairing at Newport has been again on the run since the first of the week. It'sjust like missing Sunday to miss Capt. Rob ertson's genial physiogomy on our streets regularly. Corvallis has organized a law and order league with the following objects: The enforcement of the laws existing upon the statute books; the enforcement of these laws by the officers elected for that purpose; and the developement of the higher moral welfare of the community. People of Toledo, what do you intend to do with regards to open ing up some street heref Do you intend to progress or go back? There is no such thing as standing still. Whether Toledo goes for ward or not depends upon her own people. We can't have a town without streets. How we get them does not matter so much as to get them. Who has a plan to offer? According to their statement filed with the clerk of the district court of Benton county the losses and gains of the various divisions of the O. P. road from March 6, to 31, I8j3, have been as follows: Rail division, loss $955.59; river division, gain $240.79; ocean di vision, gajn $794.15; making a to tal net gain for the whole system of $77.73. This is not much of a net gain, but we'll bet that it looks huge to the bondholders alongside the net losses that have been bob bing up serenely for so long. We greatly fear there is going to trouble ahead between Benton and Lincoln counties. The action of some of the officials of Benton county would sccra to indicate that much at least. Lincoln county has no disposition to ask anything in excess of its right, but unless we are greatly mistaken the men who are guiding the destinies of Lincoln county will accept nothing less, and have the courage and moral stamina to stand up manfully for these rights to the last extremity. Lincoln county people have noth ing but friendly feeling for Benton county, but these feelings must not be presumed upon in any manner. The sooner this is thoroughly com prehended by all parties concerned the better it will be. Commissioner Stearns has spent several days in Corvallis, trying to make head or tail out of something in connection with the two counties. He has been very successful in part. For instance the county clerk of Benton county made out and turned over to the clerk of Lincoln county what wns certified to be a correct assessment roll of property belonging to Lincoln coun ty. This roll has leen found to sadly deficient, so much so, that to say that clerical errors, wer respon sible for the discrepancies would be ussertiug something almost incred ible. Mr. Stearns found that alnnit $200,000 valuation had been left off the Lincoln county roll altogether. A good portion of these were mort gages on Lincoln county piopeity which were matters of record and to overlook them would be wholly impossible. The delinquent mils have not yet lceu placed in the hands of the sheriff of Lincoln county, so that the collection of delinquent laxtfs is made impossi ble. In the matter of the delin quent railroad tax, Benton county claims all the tax because she insti tuted a suit at law for the collec tion of the same. This mutter was tried in the district court at Cor vallis last week and Jmlge Fuller ton has the matter now under ad visement. Many othor thiiii; came ututr his notkii while out there which will havt to be adjust ed before the final settlement is made !etweeu the two counties. A Hardship Worked. The division of the county work ed a hardship upon the residents of the Alsea valley that ought to be remedied if possible. It is in this: j Before the division of the county j was brought about the people of i the lower valley had begun the 1 construction of wagon road running from Waldport to the head of tide, : where it would connect with 2 road from the upper valley which extends over into the Willamette valley at Philomath and also to Monroe. By a special agreement with the county court of Bentoa j county the people were to do all j the work on the road by volunteer j work and the county was to build j two bridges, one at Waldport and j one across Ivckmaii's slough. The people went to work on their road and the bridge at Waldport was duly constructed, but before they got far enough along to eatn their other bridge the county was divid ed and any understanding as to the erection of bridges was at an end. The people now have a partly com pleted road, with no- assurance of getting the bridge, which will be necessary to complete it, as they do not feel aide to build both road and bridge. That a road up and down the river is a necessity is beyond cavil. With such a road from the upper valley to the lower the products of the whole vallev would seek a mar ket at the mouth of the river, whereas now all of the upper val ley trade is diverted to Monroe or Philomath. Another big advan tage would be derived from the great amount of summer travel by seaside visitors. Hundreds of per sons from the Willamette valley would drive down to Alsea Bay for their summer outing, making a market for many of the peoples' products. What, if anything, can be done in the matter by Lincoln county, we do not know. The situation is as we have stated it, and it would seem that in all justice to these people, somethiug should be done to assist them in this matter if pos sible. DU. W. T. ( Itm liKK, 1. I). 8.

Whereas, I receive from one to three letters daily from parties ask ing about title of the real property in Lincoln county, I take this method of informing the public that the old records are still in the Recorders office in Benton county. And I have no way of giving the required information until such time as the records may be transcribed and transfered to Lincoln county. B. F. Jonks. County Clerk. BORN. MILLER To the family of R. A.
