Bat we return the compliment, knowing that politicians as a rule fear the press, but the editor has no objection to the unterrified having some good tempered fun at his expense. * * * The politicians who have hobnobbled with Simon probably wished now they hadn’t, for they must be wondering where they are at these days with their political coffins suddenly thrust before their eyes with the graves wide open to receive them. Alas, for poor Simon’s political pups, but we don’t have very much compassion for them. * * * Tillamook had 19 inches of rain in March, and on the 7th the rainfall was 4.20 inches in 24 hours. Thanks, we do not need irrigation in Tillamook, and strange as it may appear to those on the “outside” there is no one kicking be cause heaven has blessed Tillamook with I a n abundance of rain to keep the grass green summer and winter, with no pos sibility of being dried up in the summer or frozen up in the winter, which puts a broad, happy, contented smile on every dairyman in Tillamook. Some people would bug their eyes out at 19 inches of rainfall in one month, but it takes lots of it to make a genuine Webfoot healthy and happy, and that’s why there are so few chronic kickers and calamity how. lera in Tillamook. < * * Mr. R.
