Î I The snow on Saturday night was gene ral throughout the county, and Sunday it had a wintery appearance, although the weather was bright and warm. The snow had the effect of bringing out a few sleighs, but Old Sol soon spoiled what fun was in that direction. Owing to so much snow in the mountains, Saturday's mail did not arrive until four o’clock the next morning. Seven feet of snow was reported in the mountains. A special school meeting of district No. 9 is called for the 26th February, at 2 p.m., in the opera house, for the follow ing object : To consider the advisability ofchanging the present plans of the new school building now in course of con struction ; to authorize the board to contract a debt not to exceed five per centum of the value of the taxable pro perty for the purpose of building a school building and to issue negotiable bearing warrants. Alder Circle, W. of W., was pleasantly surprised on Wednesday evening by the members of the Woodmen lodge. A deli cious lunch was served and an enjoyable time reported. Alder Circle is in a very prosperous condition, having received eight applications for membership at the last meeting. The rates for joining Alder Circle have been reduced for a short time only from $4 to $2.50. As a safe and cheap method of insurance, this order stands second to none, while its social and fraternal features are also worthy of notice. To curb extravagant county officials from running counties into debt there is a bill before the State legislature which will make the eyes of county judges and commissioners bug out, especially if thev are well fixed. This is the essence of the bill: “The county expenditures of every county in the state of Oregon shall be confined to the amount-of the annual levy therefor ; and members of theCounty Court or Board of Courn v Commission ers or any other county official, who shall authorize, incur, cause or create or officially approve any ex|>eiise or liability for the county in excess of the amount of the levy that may have been made for thecounty expenditures, shall be jointly and severally liable, individually and personally, for the amount of such ex cess.

Representative B. L. Eddy has receive I the following letter from the Portland Chamber of Commerce, which »¡teaks for itself. The Portland Chamber of Commerce. Portland, Or., Jan. 22, 1903. Hon. B. L. Eddy. Salem, Or. D ear S ib ,—The petition of 1 he citizens of Tillamook Countv that the fund of $27,000 now available for work on Till amook Bav be expended largely for dredging Hoquarton Slough between Tillamook City and deep water in Tilla mook Bay, which you sent to Allen Ac Izewis, and which was referred to us, has received the careful consideration of our Navigation Committee The Committee, after inquiry, endorsed the petition and recommended that the Chamber request Captain Langfitt to accede to the wishes of the Tillamook people, if such can be done for the best interests of the com merce desired, and is in his opinion the licit method of procedure. We have, therefore, sent the petition to Captain Langfitt with the endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce. umbia River Rail Road Will build to Tillamook City. For several weeks past we have heard that the long expected railroad to Tilla mook is to be built in the near futuret but thus far have not been able to ascer tain whether the report is based upon facts, although those who are in a posi tion to know wh.it is going on in the railroad world appear to think that the report is true. We give the report for what it is worth, leaving our readers to judge for themselves. It is to the effect that the Astoria and Columbia River Railway Company is to extend its line from Seaside, tapping the Nehalem coun try and that the line is to be built to Tillamook Citv. As a majority of the people havepredicted this is the direction in which a railroad will come to Tilla mook, it is likely to gain some credence. From the Astorian we take thii item of news to Tillamook, which, we hope will prove more than an idle rumor, like so many we have previously heard: It is reported that arrangements have been completed for the extention of the Astoria and Columbia River railroad nto Tillamook county. The work of ex tention will, it is said, be commenced shortly. Rumors to this effect have been current periodically for several months past, but the Astorian is assured that this report is correct. The local line will, if report proves true, be run into Tillamook city, and also to the heavily timbered regions in southern Clatsop and Tillamook counties. City .Council Meeting. A meeting of the city council was held ou Monday, with Mayor C. W. Talmage in the chair, and Councilmen Geo. W. Grayson, A. E. Imbler, W. H. Cary and E. Jenkins present. It was decided to order a new side walk, as per petion of C. E. Reynolds and Win. Ryan. A petition was read for a side walk on the south side of First street, from Thayer’s corner to end of street. The necessary notices were ordered posted. Bills ordered paid we»e: Electric lights................ #19.00. W. IL Eberman........... 27.00.

Cary.................... 4.30. Recorder’s salary......... . 15.00. The ways and means committee re commended that the recorder’s salary be raised from $10 to $15 per month, and an ordinance was ordered drawn to that effect. An ordinance was read providing a penalty for the refusal or neglect of any officer, which was as follows: If any person within the corporate limits of Tillamook City, Oregon, being required by any peace officer or magistrate to assist him in the execution of his office, in the preservation of the peace or the arrest of any person for a breach of the peace or the service of any process, shall neglect or refuse to render such assistance, such person, upon con viction thereof shall be punished by im prisonment in the city jail not less than three days nor more than ten days, or by fine of not less than $5.00 or more than I20.00. The ordinance was passed to its third reading and unanimously passed. Mayor Talmage recommended that the proper committees investigate what could be done in regard to cheaper lumber and better gravel for the city. Several of the councilmen thought the gravel had too much clay mixed with it. C. E. Reynolds asked if the city coun cil would grant an auctioneer’s licence for one year. This was left oyer until the next meeting. Ordinance No. 140. An ordinance providing a penalty for the refusal or neglect of any person to ai<l an officer.
