THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. MARCH 22, 1900.
RAILROAD
AWAY
OFF.
Mr. A. B. Hammond Says it
is Retarded if not Utterly
Frns rated.
Those who are expecting to see the
railroad extended from Seaside to Tilla
mook in the near future are apt to be
I uil ling castles in the air ; unless, as we
have previously pointed out, the citizens
of this county are prepared to offer a big
bonus in the shape of land grants and
money. Those who have given the mat
ter intelligent consideration know’ full
well that it would be next to impossible
to raise enough money in this county to
make it an inducement to a railroad com
pany to build. It is just as well to make
up one’s mind that for a number of years
yet Tillamook county will have to de-
pend upon water transportation for
freight, and what confirms our opinion
in this is a statement made last week by
Mr. A. B. Hammond, of the Astoria rail
road, in which he said, in that city: “The
report has been circulated up and down
the coast that I am investing heavily in
timber lands in this and Tillamook coon-
tv. The result is that the main hope of
the people is the early construction of a
railroad down the coast has been retard
ed, if not utterly frustrated. It is impos
sible to get capital interested in so diffi
cult and costly an undertaking when the
cupidity of the people is excited to such
an extreme top-notch that they are ut
terly disqualified from tendering the co
operation and offering the inducement of
established industries needed to encour
age the outlay of outside capital for the
construction of such a road. Instead of
promising busintss and traffic for such a
road, the effort of everybody seems di
rected to the end of acquiring and hold
ing for sale to some imaginary investor,
at a price which renders it unavailable
for development by anybody, every stick
of timlier whether conveniently or other,
wise located.” Here is almost conclu
sive proof that Mr. Hammond is not
figuring upon extending the railroad to
Tillamook at present or in the near fu
ture. What, then, is to be done ? Sim
ply this : Every effort should be made to
induce the government to appropriate
sufficient money for the improvement of
Tillamook bars and harbors. This may
be a slow process, but when it is accom
plished the benefit will be immediately
felt, for it will make Tillamook quite a
shipping port. We may be mistaken, but
from present indications we believe the
government improvements on Tillamook
bar and harbor will be completed before
a railroad strikes this county, more
especially if Congressman Tongue is re
elected.

A Citicen Passed Away.
Last Saturday at 10 o’clock A. M. the
broad aud certain chasm of death was
crossed by our endearing townsman Wm.
Booth. Wm, Booth was born January
19, 1848, where the city of Portland
now stands. In 1878 he moved to Idaho
where he was engaged in farming. The
dreaded disease of consumption here
overtook him and it was advisable for
him to leave that country. He with his
family moved to Woods in September
1884, at which place he has resided un
til death relieved him of the cares of this
world. He was appointed postmaster
at Woods July 1. 1886, which position
he filled creditably until a few months
before his death when he registered in
favor of his wife Mrs. Lizzie Booth, who
was immediatelv appointed to fill the
vacancy. Mr. Booth was our first post
master. He died March 10, 1900 being
52 years, one month and 21 days old.
The community looses an honorable, up
