THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, AUGUST 7 I TRACY ENDS American Emigration to Canada LIFE The recent large emigration from the i United States to Canada has attracted I a good deal of attention. It is noted that in 1898 fewer than 10,000 Amer icans crossed the border, while this year . it is estimated that out of a total immi- | gration into western Canada of 50,000 the United States contributes 30,000. A correspondent of the New York Even ing Post says it has been predicted Tracy, the notorious Oregon outlaw, met his Waterloo at i that we shall soon be pouring Americans Davenport, Wash., on Tuesday morning. For several days the into Canada at the rate of 200,000 a posses had been close on his trail and his escape grew less every year, as we have so long been pouring day. He was at last located in a swamp near Davenport, Wash., them into our own northw’est under a similar economic stimulation—the agri where he had been for several days. The place was carefully cultural possibilities of w’estern Canada. It is pointed out that last year Manito guarded night and day. On Tuesday morning Tracy decided to make a dash to get ba raised as much wheat as North Da kota and with the three territories of through the cordon, and in doing so had to cross a wheat field.

Dominion will in time become active agitators in behalf of reciprocity, and it is certain by reasonable to expect this, as they will naturally want the Amer ican market for their products. It is also believed that there may be devel oped in our own northwest a much stronger sentiment than at present in fayor of closer trade relations with our northern neighbor, There is not likely, however, to be any marked movement in this direction in the very near future, unless the question of reciprocity with Canada should l>ecome a subject of Forenoon negotiation between the governments sooner than there is now any indication of. The people who are going from the AGAINST northwest to Canada are of a class that will push the development of the country and exert a good influence both industrially and socially.

The city council passed an ordinance prohibiting hogs from running at large. Some of the residents of the Fourth ward, which was then familiarly known as " hog town,” protested, and the question became an issue in the city campaign. The republi cans nominated Gus Romasser, a lead ing merchant and society man, for alder man from the “ bloody Fourth.” The morning after the primaries a delegation waited on him at his store, “ Gus,” said the spokesman, “ we’ve come to ask you how you stand on the hug law.” Gus was nonplussed for a moment. He didn’t know how bis questioners stood, and realized that either an affirmative or a negative answer might beat him. Finally lie laid his hand confidentallv on the spokes man's arm, and earnestly replied ; “Boys, I’m with you.” The delegation departed satisfied. Romasser was tri umphantly elected and voted to retain aud enforce the law. He says he doesn’t know yet what that delegation wanted him to say. ________ A New Jersey woman went out to pick cherries the other aay.

A criticism of the system which pro vides free seeds for the people should be silenced when it is learned that there are 38,000,000 packages, or one for about every abuli person in the country. It will he seen that when everyone may have a package of sweet peas or egg plant seed for the asking, nobody ought to complain. After awhile, w hen this free distribution idea becomes * better rooted and more varied then we shall receive annual packages of tooth pow der. toilet soap, chewing tobacco, col lar buttons and other little trinkets and necessaries from dear old Uucle Sam, whom we shall then begin to look on with a personal interest and co regard with a loving sentiment, just a step or two from filial. This is a grand, good Uncle Sam, who gives us garden seeds every year and we can t see why lie shouldn’t make a weekly Sunday distri bution of ice cream ; or, instead of send ing us watermelon seeds, why doesn’t he send us the watermeilor.s ? We could save the seeds and thus have water melons ami seeds, too. A scatterinent of 38,090,000 watermelons among the people would be a great benefit to the agricultural interests. This seed distri bution is not worked for near what it is worth. The rapid fire divorce courts of South Confessed on Deathbed.
