JOTTINGS

The great hinderance to the lumbering
industry in this county is Tillamook bar,
and until the general government comes
to our assistance the lumlier industry
must remain stunted, for only small
coasting vessels can be relied upon to
take lumber. It s not for the lack of
enterprise, of push, or of money that is
keeping Tillamook back, for the lumber,
men have, with true Western grit, en
deavored to surmount and buck innu
merable difficulties to ship lumber from
Tillamook, only to meet disappointment
and financial loss and the closing down
and removal of saw mills. Tillamook
has an enormous amount of standing
timber ready to be manufactured, and
the only obstacle in the wav is Tilla
mook bar, which should be improved to
allow the timber to be manufactured.
Tillamook would then become the lum
bering center of the Pacific Coast, and
instead of loading half a dozen lumber
schooners every month it would lie an
easy matter to load that number of ves
sels of four times the capacity every day.
for there are plenty of men ready to
erect saw mills and manufacture lumber
directly they see that the government
intends to improve Tillamook bar.
As the river and harbor bill will soon
be before congress, it is only natural
that the people of Tillamook will look
with a good deal of anxiety what the
appropriation for Tillamook bay and
the survey and estimates for the im
provement of the bar will amount to.
The latter is most important, and it is
confidently expected that Senator Mit
chell and Congressman Tongue will do
their best to secure a liberal appropria
tion for Tillamook, for no section of
country is in« re deserving of it.
The
people of Tillamook are industrious and
thrifty as a class, and they have borne
their isolated, “bottled-up” condition
with pai .enee for a number of years and
now think tluy arc entitled to some of
the crumbs that fall from Uncle Sum’s
table to improve our harbors so that
Tillamook can grow commercially and
industrially.
When congress comes io

Your committee appointed to draft

knowledge in the discharge of his Juties
to God and man ; and in his age as a
Mason, enjoying the reflections conse

Be it resolved, that in the death of our
Brother we recognize that a Patriarch
has fallen ; we recognize the loss of a
genial, kindly companion, a tried anil
true friend, a teacher in Masonrv and a
leader in every good work. As our lodge I
liears the imprint of hisskill in the mys

Resolved, that while we mingle our
sorrows with his bereaved relatives, we
realize that our loss is Ins great gain.
Resolved, that we will ever cherish his
memory, and endeavor to erect a monu

adorned his life as a man ami a Ma
son.
Resolved, that as an outward mark of

Having failed, after two years’ strife,
in subduing the insurrection in Batangas
Province, which liesjust south of Manila
and having satisfied himself the lenient
treatment of the insurgents is productive
of no good results, General J. Franklin
Bell, the military commander in that
province has determined upon the en
forcement of the war in the most vigor
ous and determined fashion, involving
reconcentration in a modified form, the
application of martial law in all direc
tions, and the upsparing pursuit ami
punishment of the natives who act as
spies and traitors to the United States.
All this appears from a long report to
the War Department just published.
