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.

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.
This vast area of country is com para
tively unpeopled and is scarcely awak
ened to a consciousness of the magnitude
of its natural resources and its capabili
ties for wealth production.
The Pacific coast alone is an empire
capable ot’ feeding and clothing -10 000,-

Cause of Many Labor Troubles.
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

it is useless to look to either of these to

vative element, ami w hen this prevails on
either side there is very little difficulty in

unions arc content to take in “ any old
thing,’’ irrespective of ability and comjie-
trtice, all those who have had anv ex|»eri
