THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, APRIL 20, 1S9£ GOVERNMENT WORK. Hoquarton Slough to be Cleared Out. The Port of Tillamook Commission has received the folio wing letter from Captain W. W. Harts: United States Engineer Office, Port land, Oregon, April 18, 1899. Port of Tillamook Commission, Mr. A. J. Cohn. Vice President, Tillamook, Oregon. S ir ,—Your letter of iMarch 30 was duly received. As you perhaps know, Mr. J. G. Holcombe, Assistant Engineer, is now engaged in making sounds in Hoquarton Slough and Tillamook Bay, from Tilllainook City down to Bay City. I wrote him on March 30 to obtain the commercial statistics of Tillamook Bay for the calender year ending Iiecember 31, 1898, for incorporation in my next annual report, and, therefore, it will not be necessary for your Commission to duplicate this work. Please assure your Commission that the work of clearing out obstructions in the channel from Tillamook City to Bay City, and the construction of such struc tures as may I k * found necessary to im prove matters at Dry Stocking Bar, and at the other bars, will lie commenced as soon as the equipment required to do the work can lie determined on and obtained —plans for this equipment arc now being prepared. Respectfully, W m . W. H arts , Captain, Corps of Engineers. i It appears that some of the cyclists in Multnomah county intend testing the bicycle law. We are inclined to think that before the courts are able to render n decision whether the law is constitu tional or not, some counties will have cx|xmdcd quite a sum of money constuet- ing bicycle paths. So, no matter which way it is decided, the bicyclists get the paths and in all probability the taxpay ers will have to foot the bills. « « « What a bugaboo Secretary Alger is getting to I k *. One day it is stated that the president is going to dump him out of his cabinet, and the next da v Alger boastingly remarks that he is going to star with the republic-mi administration to the end, or, in other words he declares himself n sticker and refuses to thedimip- ed.

It was feared that it would develop into a guerrila warfare, which isexceedinly aggravating to our army in a country like that, but whatever the difficulties to be overcome he natives must I k * brought to .respect the United States. SAND LAKE Mr. James Atkinson was taken danger- ously ill on Friday last, and at this writing is but little improved. W. C. King has finished planting 25,- 000 cranberry plants, of the celebrated McFarland variety, the largest cran berry grown. T. J. Harris lost a valuable cow re cently. One of our neighbors was seen carry ing home a deer he had shot in the hills a few days ago. Sandlake is without a school teacher. Is it a fact that the teachers of Tilla mook co. have all got schools? And will our school board be obliged to send to the valley for a teacher ? Grass on the tide lands is nearly a foot high and the stock are looking fine. Fruit trees were never as full of fruit buds. If we have no late frosts there will be abundance of fruit of all kinds. SPRUCE Mr. James Christensen caught one bear and got the toes of another one this spring, and he also had the misfor tion to get his own hand in the trap and was laid up some time with a sore hand. Better look out Jim, bear traps are dangerous when you get your hands in them. Mrs. Antone Shoreton was visiting with Mrs. Otto Walther last Sunday. Mr. Peter Amacher came in from Port land to live on his place and improve it. We were informed that the Sand Lake road is getting very nearly impassable for footers, as Charles Atkinson lost one of his gum boots not long ago. Mrs. J. D.

Jensen as road Doss. Nathan and Dec. Moon went out over the trail Saturday after a blooded bull for Seth and Nathan Moon. C. Mills, Geo. Mills and Siscel went to the valley Tuesday, via the Ncstucca and Sheridan trail. The latest emigrant arrival at Blaine is a daughter at Mr. Curl’s. Rev. Armstrong preached at Blaine last Sunday to a full house. Our road boss has given those that contemplate going off to work an op. portunity to work their road tax before going. Mr. Roland bought a nice looking cow last week of Mr. Mowers. H. E. Chapman and A. M. Quick went to the hub last week. Our school district is still in need of a teacher.
