We aie sorry to state that we failed to chronicle the demise of the populist party in this county, but an obituary notice is not necessary, seeing that popu lism died with an overdose of prosperity, ism.

Blalock will speak at the court house to-morrow (Friday) even ing on prohibition, when it is expected that others will take part and make the meeting interesting. As the prohibition ists have decided to wage war in the “enemy’s country,” no doubt those who favor prohibition will turn out to swell the ranks. The government derrick, which is at work dredging at Drystocking bar, has demonstrated that the obstruction there was caused by a rack heap of brush and branches of trees and logs, which was covered up with sand, which makes dredging slow work, but some 200 feet of that rack, known as Drystocking bar, is already remoxed. Cows were bringing high prices in the south part of the county last week. In gathering up a band of about 20 head to send to Alaska, a party from Portland paid from $55 to $70 per head for them. How does that compare with the price of cows a few years ago? Perhaps the populists in that part of the county will answer the question. Several democrats may be slated for nomination, but there’s not much anima tion among the dry bones, for the simple reason that a nomination in the demo cratic party in this county is not equiva- lant to an election, consequently there are not many office seekers who care to assume the position of a dog trying to catch its own tail. Mr. Albert Plank, who clerks and sleeps in McIntosh & McNair’s store, was awoke after the electric lights had gone out early Friday morning by the smash ing of one of the store windows. Going to the front he saw a man reaching in through the window helping himself to the canned goods there. Taking his knife from pocket, Albert jabbed it into the man’s hand, who immediately dis appeared without stopping to say good night. It is not the desire of the Headlight to criticise a person wrongly or to do him an injustice. Should, however, a person secure the nomination for office whose record is bad, we have a perfect right to inform the public upon what most inter ests them, that of the qualification or lack of qualification of candidates and officials. We do not intend to dictate, but if the taxpayers prefer taxeaters tor officials all they have to do is to vote for them and not pucker tip their faces when it comes to pa> ing taxes. The hall at St. Alphonsus academy on Friday evening was packed to its fullest capacity bv those who had accepted the Sisters’ invitation to be present at the musical recital by the music class of that institution of learning. It proved to be an interesting entertainment, in which the students acquitted themselves well, the large audience appreciating their efforts. Perhaps it is well not to parti cularize, but a number of the students possess fine musical ability, which the Sisters have done much to develop, and this is what made the recital such a suc cess. An examination for teachers’ certifi cates commenced on Wednesday at the court house, the board ofexaminers being composed of Supt. Geo. B Lamb, Mr. F. D. Vincent and Mrs. Allen, when fifteen persons presented themselves forexami nation, viz. : Bav City—W. A. Pettevs. Tillamook—Misses Ellen Bewley, Ruth Cooper, Carrie Judd, Pearl White, Katie Hiner, Pearl Briscoe, Amanda Tinnerstet, Selma Allen, Olive Donaldson, Mrs. Hurl burt, Mrs. Edith King. Balm—Miss Lizzie Rittenhouse. Nehalem—Miss Mary Schollmeyer. Hebo—Mrs. N. M. Ginn. When voujhear people make the asser tion that the county officials should pay their deputies out of their salaries, that is, no doubt, made by some cheap guy for campaign purposes. A cheap, incom petent official is an expensive luxury for any county to try an experiment with, for they are on a par with the expensive luxury of electing tax-eaters to office. The Headlight lielieves in paying county officials good salaries and exacting the best sei vice, for that, from a business point <A view, is >»est for the county and the taxpayers. The person who will not scruple to cut one man’s wages in two would not raise any objection to seeing the dairvmen get 13c. per pound for their butter fat instead of doublethat amount. Rats, to these cheap guy, calamity poli ticians. The Forest Grove Times says fieorge Bacon will start from that city for Tilla mook this week to make arrangements to run a stage over the Wilson river road this summer, to which the Head light would add. Those who run a stage ft»r the accommodation of Tillsmookers and the traveling public year in and year out. let it hail, snow, blow, rain or shine should receive the patronage, especially as the North Yamhill stage line is giving good satisfaction. It is hardly fair to cater for the summer travel and as soon as the wet weather sets in draw off, for the regular stage line will be able to handle all the business this summer, when it should make a little money to offset running a stage “when there’s nothing in it.’* That's what the Headlight thinks about it, and is firmly oftheopinion that -it is best to stay with those who stay with Tillamook summer and winter. Mr. P. McIntosh has engaged Mr. T. J. Ballentyne to take charge of his new cheese factory on the Wilson river, north' of this city, who is an experienced butter and cheese maker of 20 standing. He ar rived last Thursday from Listowell, Ont. Mr. Ballentyne won the gold medal at the Colonial exposition in London and secured three out of the 35 premiums offered at the world’s fair at Chicago for the best manufactured butter and cheese. What with this being the best dairying county in the state and the introduction of only experienced cheese and butter makers, Tillamook is on the right track to put her dairy products on the market manufactured in the best of style. There is some satisfaction to dairymen taking their milk to a cheese factory where they know it will be manufactured by experi enced hands into cheese which will bring the top prices when placed on the mar ket. Tillamook dairymen are not bug ging their eyes out to see how the wheat raisers are making it with wheat at 50c , but the latter are bugging their eyes out when they see Tillamook dairymen are receiving all the way from 23c. to 28c. per pound for butter fat.

Judge Burnett held circuit court in this city on Monday, and, like the last few terms of court in this county, there was exceedingly little business in the judge’s department to attend to, which speaks volumns foi the law abiding citizens of Tillamook. It may look a farce to bring Judge Burnett in every six months for a few cases which he generally disposes of in a couple of hours, but it is to the ad- vantage of the taxpayer«, fur when there are a lot of criminal cases the burden falls upon them. Tillam<x>k is to lie congrat ulated upon having so few criminal, as well as civil, cases The cases coming before the judge was that of Frank Pat ton vs Henry Tohl, action for money, which was continued until next term of court; ( fco . N. Johnson vs. Netarts Bay Lumlier Co., in which a motion was made by Attorney Eddy to strike out part of reply, which the judge sustained and continued the case to Judge Boise's court if that gentleman will consent to try the case when he holds court in this city on the 9th June ; the stabbing case, in which Fred Newton is charged with using a dangerous weapon and assault ing Harry Mitchell therewith, was con tinued on the plea that Newton could not get his witnesses, the judge binding the prisoner over in the sum of $300, so Newton will have to remain in durance vile for six months—and at the county’s expense for grub—if he cannot get some one to bail him out. TONGUE RENOMINATED. Received 93 Vote« on First Bal lot out of 163 Votes Cast. At the republican congressional conven tion at McMinnville on Tuesday the long talked of opposition to Congressman T. H. Tongue turned out a bugaboo, a reg ular myth, for he had a walk over and a dozen votes to spare on the first ballot, having polled 93 out of 163 votes cast : Tongue, 93 ; Gatch, 27 ; Brownell, 17 ; Hewitt, 14 ; Carter, 11. As far a« Tillamook county is concern ed, the renomination of Congressman Tongue is a source of gratification to the citizens of this county, who know the congressman’s worth and appreciate his ability and industry. Although he had several opponents in the convention, it is plain to see that the delegates from several counties threw away their votes complimenting the candidates from their respective counties, not taking into con sideration the merits and ability ofthe aspirants, or what was for the best in terest of the district and state as well. However, Mr. Tongue did not require their votes, there l>eing enough delegates in the convention who sized up the situa tion in a broad light, and it did not take them long to decide either, for they saw at a glance the high position Congress man Tongue had attained at Wash ington, which is not only an honor to the congressman but to the state of Ore gon as well. Tillamookers will never re gret that the delegation from this coun ty was in line with popular sentiment and voted for Mr. Tongue, for the con gressman is a staunch friend of this county and who is particularly interested in the improvement of Tiilamook bars and harbors. For that reason, it is to the best interest of every Tillamooker, no matter what their political affiliations may lie, to vote for Mr. Tongue. As we view the situation, the person who fails to vote for him in this county, votes against his own as well as the county’s interests. We tail to see how any dairyman, lum berman, manufacturer or merchant in Tillamook can oppose Mr. Tongue when the difficulties and losses they experience year after year on account of bad trans portation service caused by shallow bars and harbors are intelligently taken into consideration. But we suppose that a number of voters even in Tillamook will throw away their votes complimenting the candidates who will oppose Mr. Ton gue next June.
