FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1909. THE 'MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. TILLAMOOK SCRAP First Round Between the Herald and Headlight NOT JOURNALISTIC COURTESY The Infantile Journalist of tht Tilla mook Headlioht Receives Soma Scriptural Admonitions From RoSia Watson of tha Tillamook Harald. It Is evident that the Tillamook Headlight num U displeased with the workings of Providence, as the follow ing taken from the Tillamook Herald la evidence: Blatherskite is a Gaelic word, the first two sylables meaning rambling talk, and the last sylabl a squlrtspin It -was a stroke of genius to pile up the idea in that fashion. But fortun tely for the community Tillamook"8 blatherskite has left the county and als squlrtgun has ceased to squirt," Headlight Wrong Baker, wrong. The blather skite is yet in evidence, and It con tinues to squirt spasmodically, and the people want to know when the blather skite squirt gun is gojng to quit squirt big. We have often Uiought that with the demise of thai Indeendent, per haps that the Headlight would try and publish the news, for that ia what the people want, for the general public are getting gloriously tired of the frac tional strife and personal abuse that baa been rampant too long here. The Herald editor paid several hun dred dollars good hard cash to get the Independent out of the field and in tkct it ia generally known as an un necessary dea! as the Independent was dead financially and -would have sec onmbed ere this, Jt was also thought that with the Herald and Headlight In the field alone there would be har mony and peace: and as far as the Herald's editor Is concerned that's what we want to see. Baker says in his dirty old shin jlaster and paper plate paper, the last issue, that ''Rolie has never gone to the ecords more than once or twice for the commissioner's court proceedings." Baker, as is customary, lies faster than a horse can trot, for if we had copied the court proceedings out of last week's light eaJ it would have been a comedy of errors, as Is usually the case. We went to the records for our court news and the documents were kindly placed ia our bands by Miss Mills, the deputy clerk, for that purpose, and Baker falsefies when he accuses Roll I e of use Bag tha Headlight for copy. On the wther hand it's only been a few weeks go that everj' body who reads that abeet noticed "the Herald's congratula tSnuT in a wedding notice that appear ed In the Headlight which was borrow ed from this office. Sm If anybody can tell what's the matter with the windbag editor of the Headlight and what his case can be we will gladly donate JjO.OO toward a eure, for the blatherskite is hot in the eollar about something. The Herald is not on the fight, and although it Is a poor American that won't stand up for his rights, we "nave hwkty took in all we ran stand. So let 'er crack, Baker, If you want to .strap and rave and boil over, fire away. city yesterday cu business. William Elliott and wife of ElloU were in the city yesterday. Mrs. Victor K.

A Seaside man gave his wife that old gag about the biscuits mother used to bake, by the way of Invidious compar ison. He Is In the hospital. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says people make a mistake in hugging delusions. Ella Wheeler was always strong for having the hugging done in the right way. The cowboys who attended the In auguration are reported to have left Washington with distressing headaches a natural result of the miasma from the Potomac flats. A Tillamook editor who tries to be sarcastic at the expense of the modern club women declares that the babies are born at night now so as to find somebody at home. If that 1100 license ordinance had been a resolution adopted by the late deceased, people would not have been more surprised. There is a striking similarity apparent o If a fine of $5 was placed against every man who expectorates on the sidewalk. It would take only a week to raise money enough to offset the $100 a year license on freight cars. o Say young man you with the swolen caput and chesty bearing, did It ever occur to you that there is hardly blank paper enough In the world to print the sum total of what you don't know? o Down in the City of 5Iexico the so ciety women, have formed an antl kisslng league. That isn't so unkind of them when you consider that they all eat garlic and smoke cigarettes. o Owing to the rigid press censorship the exact fads can not be learned, but it looks as though the latest by the Russian board of strategy is a scheme to break Japan by compelling ner to fee Russian prisoners.
