Under no consideration what ever will anything of a personal nature be admitted. Oretown, Tillamook Co. Ore. January, 28th. 1898. Editor H eadlight , I see by the H eadlight of recent dates that you have been disenss- ng or cursing the Iransportalion facilities of Tillamook and have showed them up in their true light which is not a very creditable one. There is no doubt but Tillamook needs better and cheaper trans portation. The shippers of farm produce are hampered and delayed and charg ed too much freight. $3 or $3.50 may seem a big price per toil for height from Portland to Tillamook, but to a “Tiick- erite” doublethat. amount would seem cheap. It begins tv look like our coun ty papers are run on the narrow track plan. There are other parts of Tilla mook County that need to be looked niter, other than the city of Tillamook, as far as transportation facilities are concerned. I think that Nehalem is in worse perdicament, as far as shipping is concerned than Tillamook is, and so far as this part of the Co. is concerned we are simply driven from shipping by steamer, because we were charged so much that we had to quit shipping I paid the stinr. L.uis Olsen once $8.03 per ton freight in, and at the rate <»f $16. per ton on my baiter out, and the last shipping that I did I paid the Harrison $8 00 per ton freight in and $15.00 per ton out. Until this last summer we paid more money for toll per ton than the people of Tillamook paid t) have their freight laid down at their door. Until this last summer it cost the people here about $4.00 per ton. in toll, say nothing altout other expense* and labor of the trip of two and four days. I think nboat IODO * II is the average load. I have (mid $2.00 to go to the valley and back when the rivers were so high that the water ran over the top of the forward wheels of my wagon. We are not permitted to go out summer or winter without paving toll. This commnnity lias |>aid enough money for toll to have graveled the en tire length of this toll road, yet it is nearly impassable st freighting time. Yours Truly, A. W Fletcher. Puyallup, Wash. Jan. 26, 1898. Editor Tillamook H eadlight , Kind Friends: Permit me tn say, through your much appreciated paper, Ilia! since leaving your thriving lit tie city last spring, some kind unknown friends have been sending us two copies of yom paper. I have been only too willing to pay the two cents postage each week, thinking that at least one of my friends , would tire of sending the paper; but durpig my absence from our Salem , home, nearly every letter from my wife brings with it some clippings or reference to Tillamook matters collected from your paper. Now I trust von will |>ermit me to simply touch upon a subject that lies very near niy heart. In a recent issue of a New York paper I noticed that the National Reform Party, and their allied organizations, intend to present to the Congress, now in session, one and a half million petitions for the passage of a resoiuti n to amend the National con- siitutios so that it «hall recognize God and the Christian religion. Now everybody in Tillamook knows that I believe that God is, and that His existence and authority ought to l>e fully recognized by every being in the uni verse. But we cannot approve of this proposal to make a formal recognition of God in the constitution of any civil government, and believe the whole idea is wrong, and that the results must lie unsatisfactory if not disastrous. Now right beie 1 wish to submit some very simple, and we think undeniable, facts for the consideration of your readers— your friends and mine. 1. The recognition of God is rii act of faith. Ileb. 11:6 2. A statement or acknowledgment of that recognition is a declaration of faith ; and in the language of A. G. Daniels will say: “To incorporate in the con stitution of any civil government a declaration <4 faith, which is a recogni tion of God, is to insert a religious clause. ” Now if we insert a religions clause in the constitution, will it not place our government on a religious basis? And will not this religious Imais confer power to enact ami enforce religions laws? And does not this mean compulsion in matters of religion, and the invasion of the fights of men? And if this is done, will uot good government be subverted? And io ti nut the primary object of good government to protect these rights? John Stuart Mills >n»y *, '‘Mankind rould l>e no mors justified in silencing the honest opinions of any person than one peraon would, had he the power, lie justified in silencing the opinions of mankind.” Much more might be said, but for fear this letter finds its way to the waste banket, I close right here, by assuring you that your paper will always find a welcome in our home, and thanking our kind fiiends for past courtesies in send ing it, and Irusling it may always be found on the side of Civil and religious liberty, I am Very Respectfully, B.
