Th eemonths... $1.50 71 50 Captain Langfitt’s Report. t) Captain W. C. Langfitt’s report has been made public, and as it concerns the work proposed lor next year, with the amount of appropriations to be asked for, this is a matter of great importance to Tdlamook. That pertaining to this county is as follows ; “The improvement of Tillamook Bay provides lor obtaining a channel nine feet deep at mean high tide, from Hob sonville. on the north shore of the bay, up to Tillamook City, on Hoquarton Slough. The channel of the depth named having Ireen obtained in the fiscal vear ending June 30, 1900, the work during 1901 was limi.ed to finishing several de flecting dikes in course of construction at the commencement of the latter year. It is estimate«! that $27,000 can be pro- fit a bl» expended in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, in strengthening the var ious dikes along the selected channel, and in dredging shoals.” As far as it is made public, no mention is made of the survey of Tillamook bar and preparing estimates for its improvement. We hope, however, that this is not over looked, for it is a matter of far more im portance than the other improvements. We ere all deeply interested in bar im provements, tor it is a well known fact that it means much for the future devel opment ot Tillamook comity. Before an appropriation can be secured, the bar must be surveyed and estimates prepar ed, and as it will be several years before another appropriation bill will he intro duced in congress after the one to be acted upon at the coming session, we hope the survey of the bar will be stren- rrouslv advocated by the Oregon delega tion, and if no mention is made ofit in the proposed work for Tillamook, it should be inserted with as little delay as possible. Another thing we should have liked to have seen in Captain Langfitt’s report, and that was a recommendation to straighten Hoquarton slough. We hope this will also receive the endorse ment of Captain Langfitt and the dele gation, for it should be along these lines that the people of Tillamook should aim to have the work carried on in the future. Tillamook Bay can be made the most im portant commercial port between San Francisco and the Columbia river, but as long as only a few thousand dollars are appropriated to remove obstructions in the present channel, and no mention is made of the more essential improve ments, it is going to be many years be fore the resources of the county can be developed if we have to wait for bar im provements. Therefore, we repeat, we hope the matter of the survey of Tilla mook bar is not overlooked, for it is upon this, more than anv other improve ment. that the peopleofTillamook should concentrate their energies in forcing this to the front and insist upon the Oregon delegation having a clause to that e fleet inserted. Anyway, it will only ben mat ter of a few thousand dollars to survey Tillamook bar and ascertain the cost to improve it, so under those circumstances it would increase the appropriations for Tillamook but very little, although it would encourage and put new hope and fresh energies into a class of people w ho have battled with transportation difli- cullies for a number of years. meet. This in variably ends in sorrow with the better element of union men when they realize to what extent the radical element has gone in declaring a strike and then a boycott. No wonder that a large number of union men get cold feet and strikes prove miserable failures, as they should do, when the business phase of the question is ignored. Labor unions, with the sensible element in control, can do much to protect work ingmen from unjust and unfeeling em ployers, but, on the other hand, we all have seen instances where trade unions have been dominated for a time by the agitators, which nothing will satisfy, and the firebrand, possessing but the clothes he stands in, wanting to bring other men down to his own level. The moral of the whole thing is this : Let labor unions be more particular about taking in the undesirable,good for noth ing class and there will be less friction between employer and employed.

J. STURGEON, LEACH & JONES, Tillamook Meat Market The combination of all the transcon tinental railroads under a community- of-interest control is an accomplished fact. Every important artery of coin merce between the lakes, the Mississippi and the Pacific coast is now in the hands of a group of financiers whose avowed purpose is the management of the pro perties of the transcontinental lines as permanent investments and not as stock jobbing ventures to be used as a foot ball by speculators on the stock ex change. It does not require a railroad expert to foresee that the future of this vast net work of railways depends upon the pros perity of the region traversed by and tributary to it. That which promotes the growth and development of the re sources of the west contributes its full share to the earnings of the community- of interest railroads ; that which retards and cripples the prosperity of the Pacific Coast region must necessarily re tard and cripple the railroads traversing the same territory and reduce their divi dend-earning power. Manifestly, there is a community of interests between the people who have staked their fortunes in the greater west and the owners of the trunk lines across the continent who are vitally concerned in the future development of the re sources of the most prolific region on the globe.

One feature connected with the troubles ot trade unions is that they have resort- cd to boycotts, which is un-American in principle. It is the inalienable right of everv American citizen to buy and sell where he can do the best, and when labor unions intimidate and molest people in what is considered their rights union men are encroaching upon dangerous and un tenable ground. Whenever the spirit of boycott predominates in union councils it can be taken that the radical element— labor unions worst enemv—is in control over-riding the conservative members. This radical element in trade unions— here today and gone to-morrow—rarelv ever step to consider the business phase of a dispute, their main object being to “do up” employers who have furnished plenty of employment for working men, consequently so many strikes prove miserable failures. All those who watch carefully the t reml of current events must admit that workingmen should combine for their own protection, for in unity there is strength. But there arc unreason able employers ns well ns unreasonable union men. The former will grind down a man's wages to a mere pittance, while the latter will not scruple to destroy lite or valuable pro|>erty to attain their ob jects. Heir we have two extremes, mid it is useless to look to either of these to ►ettl- labor disputes. That can come about onh by the influence oi the conser vative element, ami w hen this prevails on either side there is very little difficulty in adjusting trout le.
