Rev. R. Y. 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

nation, viz. :
Bav City—W. A. Pettevs.
Tillamook—Misses Ellen Bewley, Ruth
Cooper, Carrie Judd, Pearl White, Katie

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.

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.
