Tillamook Commission.
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.
