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

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

Alder Circle, W. of W., was pleasantly
surprised on Wednesday evening by the
members of the Woodmen lodge. A deli

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

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.

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.

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.
