A meeting of the Port of Tillamook Commission was held on Monday in the office of Mr. Claude Thayer, the secre­ tary. President A. J. Cohn was in the chair, and the others present were J. A. Taft, F. R. Beals, P. W. Todd, B. C. Lamb and D. T. Edmunds. The death of Reprsentative T. H. Tongue was de­ plored by the Commission, and to ex­ press, not only the sentiment of that body, but that of the entire county, the Commission unanimously passed the fol­ lowing resolution: Whereas this body has been informed of the sad and untimely death of Hon. Thos. H. Tongue ; And whereas this body desires to ex­ press its appreciation of the high charac­ ter of Mr. Tongue, and as well of his services to this state and to this county in particular. Now, therefore, be it re­ solved that this body does most sin­ cerely deplore the death of Hon. Thos. H. Tonga» ; That bv his death the state has lost a most useful representative, and is de­ prived of a citzen whose abilities and in­ dustry have in the past contributed to her welfare and would in the future have added to the completeness of the pages of her history ; Resolved, That this county is deprived of a faithful friend, who has been for many years a factor in its prosperity and whose loss will always be mourned; Resolved, That this body recoguizes the sudden and terrible blow that has stricken the wife and family of our de­ ceased friend and extends to them its most gentle and tender condolence. There being $128.33 in the hands of the treasurer, it was decided not to levy a tax this year. The president was authorized to write to Captain Langfitt, calling the atten­ tion of the engineer to the fact that the steamers were grounding coming up, which is an annoyance to the shipping and an inconvenience to the port, especi­ ally when there is money available to make improvements.
