I foe to-day and to-morrow (t-naai Let us hope, it Tillamook county is to have a railroad, it will l>e constructed before the Lewis & Clark Centennial in 1905, for it will onlv show a lack of en terprise if this county is left without rail road connections. We understand that all projected railroads in Oregon are to be finished by that time. Let 11s hope,that of all the plans to build a road to Till« mook the past 12 years, one of them have been really projected. The usual custom in this city of hav ing the Christmas tree entertainments on Christmas eve was to heencroached upon on account of the protracted meetings, and the time set was five o’clock, a most inconvenient hour for parents and the general public. We think we express the sentiment of the community when we sav that the protracted meetings should be put off one evening for the Christmas tree entertainments, and we are glad to hear that this will be done. In round figures the financial condition of Tillamook City at the present time is about $400 in debt, divided about equal between the general and road funds. This will be increase«I by the end ot the year probably by $150 when December’s expenses are added. Considering there were $400 out standing warrants when the present council came into office, all of which have been paid, the expenditure has been kept about even with the re receipts. Owing to the purchase ot the new fire hose and other appliances, amounting to over $800. which was a large item of expenditure, and placing electric lights in the residence portion of the city, making a good public improve ment and one which is appreciated and the money well spent, were expenditures which the previous city council had not to contend with. When the annual re- ports are made out it will he seen that, considering everything, that the city is in good shape financially, better than most of the councilmen thought, and they can congratulate themselves, with the thanks of the public, that it is so. blowing. People ought to feel thankful that they liv^ in Tillamook, for, mark the contrast, they are wearing about the same clothing now as they did in the summer and the dairy herds are pastur ing in the green meadows. It was heat and drought which paralized the East and Middle West last summer, when Tillamook was enjoying a cool and de lightful atmosphere, copious and refresh ing shows of rain, and the green meadows producing a luxuriant growth of grass and clover and the whole county look ing Si perfect picture of freshness and beauty. No wonder that people are de sirous of coming to Tillamook w hen they see that the climatic conditions are so different, and where they can enjoy life the whole year without distressing heat in summer and blizzards, snow storms and cold in the winter. Tillamookers are a happy, contented, prosperous and in dependent class of people, and there is no reason to doubt but what the splen did climatic conditions are responsible for this satisfactory state of affairs. If the people in the East and Middle West, instead of the blizzards, snow and cohl, could onlv enjoy the mild weather which we are enjoying they would think thev had landed in paradise, sure, for Tilla mook is known as the land of paradise in the Far West. Ami the farmers and dairymen on the outside, or on the other side of the Coast range, don’t know what they are missing, and the money they are loosing by not coming to Tilla mook and engaging in dairying. The Tillamook Dairy Association, by deciding to erect a new creamery, is tullv alive to the changed conditions which are every where desernable in the dairv industry in Tillamook county. The association's factory at Fairview’ has served its day and a more commodious, modern building is required to handle tne business. The formntion of the associn- tion and the erection of the present creamery were instrumental in causing a greater interest in dairying in that sec tion. so much so that the creamery at What Shall We Get Him ? Fairview has had a steady growth and did the largest volume of business of any creamery in the county.
