They were R. W. Watson, W. A. Gray and wife. Arthur Hunt, J. C. Smith, T. P. Bowlbv and wife, XV. N. West, J. Effenberger and Hans Loll’s son, and several travel ing men. The Elmore reached this city on Saturday, being detained in the bay on account of the channels filling up. She left again on Tuesday, her passen gers being Peter Asp and wife. H. A. Brock and wife and family, Sam Wilkins and family, H. M. Todd, Mrs. Bab. badge, Mr. Goldstrom. Mr Erickson, and Mr and Mrs. R. L. Wade. She did not get out until Wednesday. The question of a wagon road from this city to Astoria has often been agi tated, both in Tillamook and Clatsop Counties, and to get the road started it would be well for the officials of both counties to get together and agree upon its location and then go ahead with the work as soon as possible. It will be necessary to build a bridge across the Nehaiem river, but as that is something which that section of the county is cer tainly rightly entitled to, it would not only benefit the citizens of Nehalem, but it will be the means of getting the road built. Byall means let the road be built forthwith, for it would be one of the prettiest and delightful drives in Oregon. W ith lumber still ad vane ing in price in most every market, and the price of logs at a nominal figure in Tillamook, there is big money in it for those who will in vest and start up saw mills where steam and sailing schooners can load. Logs may not remain at the present price for many years, and as a big supply could be obtained, the present time offers more inducements to go into the milling busi ness than al any time in the history of Tillamook. Who will be the first to put m a saw mill ? More saw mills there are, more lumber schooners will come to the port for a cargo. With facilities for shipping, saw mills in Tillamook, it they are managed properly with experi enced persons, will be little gold mines for the next few years. With plenty of saw mills running, it would soon attract lumber buyers. At a meeting of the governors of the newly formed Tillamook Athletic Club on Friday evening, there being a nearly full attendance. The first business was the selection of two members from the board of governors, with thepresident of the club, to form the executive commit tee. After quite a number of ballots had Ixen taken, the choice fell upon Messrs. Claude Thayer and A. J. Cohn. This committee was instructed to formulate a plan for a club room and report at the next meeting of the governors to be held next week. The chairman of the athletic committee was instructed to get the necessary bats and balls for basket ball. Mr. T. B. Handley spoke the sentiment of the governors when he said that a club room should be provided first and that the city authorities should purchase seve ral acres of land for a city park, while it could be bought cheap. A little curiosity was aroused in this city on Saturday when the Simmons Bros, brought in two large panthers, which they had killed on the ranch of J. C. Gove on the Sandlake road. It was big game, for they measured 6ft. and respectively. As Mr. Gove had t>een loosing his Angora goats, seven of them having Ixen killed, it was rightly surmised that some wild animals had cultivated a taste for goat meat, so it 1 was necessary to stop further raids on I the goats. With dogs, the Simmons Bros, managed to run across the wild animals, while out bear hunting in the timber, and the dogs having treed them, the boys soon found it was two large panthers, and without much ado they levelled their guns at them. One shot from each gun. and they fell dead. Ralph Ackley bought them, and after he has had them mouuted they will adorn his stc*e.

A bit of important news, as far as Tillamook county is concerned, appeared in the Oregonian from its Astoria corres- ponaent to this effect : “The Wheeler Lumber Company has stopped opera tions at Nehalem, and the mill there hns shut down, It is understood that the mill and timber lands of the company in that vicinity have been bonded to an Eastern syndicate, which contemplates building a railroad from Nehalem to tide water at some point on the A. & C. Rail way. The steamer Geo. R. Vosburg. which has been operated bv this com pany between Astoria, Tillamook and Nehalem, will be laid off after another trip.” _________________ Tillamook Commission Not Dead Yet. A meeting of the Port of Tillamook Commission was held on Friday, with President A. J. Colin in the chairs, and the Commissioners present were J. A. Taft, D. T. Edmunds, P.W. Todd, A. Mc Nair, and C. Thayer, secretary. The financial report showed a balance of$138.22. Mayor Talmage appointed Messrs. T. B. Handley, B O. Snuffer and Claude Thayer, and in re-appointing Mr. Thayer etigolized that gentleman for his previous connection with the Commission. The appointments were confirmed. To establish an harbor line from the north line of the E. Thomas’ donation land claim, T. B. Handley, A. McNair and F. R. Beals were appointed a com mittee to investigate and report, as it was shown that the docks recently built were encroaching on Hoquarton slough. The secretary was instructed to write the general land office in regard to the status of a strip of land, now in dispute, on Hoquarton slough, which several par ties claim. The Commission is wanting this strip of land condemned . Clyde Clements was appointed port warden. Commissioner Taft, who is leaving the city, resigned, which was accepted, and the vacancy was left over until the next meeting. President Cohn was instructed to write Captain Langfitt in regard to necessity of work being commenced at onee. This is the communication he sent : “The Port of Tillamook Commission, at a meeting this dav, directs me to ac knowledge receipt of vour letter of fan. 24,1903. The Commission would sug gest that it has perhaps been itself re creant in not notifying you of the facts. A week ago the Elmore, with a 7ft. 2in. tide, bumped and grilled across Dry Stocking. At the present the Elmore has been lying at Hobsonvillesince yesterday evening with a cargo of in freight. The little Maria cannot cross at low tide. The Commission thanks you for vour promise of prompt release and regrets that it must plead necessity as its excuse for urging immediate action.’’ To this President Cohn received the following reply on Wednesday, which is most satisfactory to the president and member of the Port of Tillamook Com mission : Portland, Oregon, February 9th, 1903. Mr. A. J. Cohn, President, Port of Tillamook Commission, Tillamook, Oregon. S im ,—Replying to your letter of the 7th instant, I have to say that I hope within the next 10days or two weeks to lie able to send a party to Tillamook City to put in commission a dredger there and proceed with the work of dredging in order to relieve the situation at Dry Stocking Bar and other bad places in the channel to your city. Very respectfully, VV. C. L angfitt , Captain, Corps of Engineers, U.S.A. Mr. Eddy Complimented. The following editorial, which appear ed in the Oregonian, is not only a well- earned compliment to Representative B. L. Eddy, but it is also a compliment to the citizens of this [county tor sending such an able representative to the state legislature : “If Representative Eddy did nothing else at this session of the Legislature, his work in preparing and helping to se cure the passage of the corporation li cense tax bill would alone make his services valuable to the state. The dis. patches from Salem disclose, however, that Mr. Eddy is one of ».he most active and hardest-working members of the lower house. The corporation license tax bill, which bears Mr. Eddy’s name, will raise a revenue of about $100,000 a year. The burden will be equitably im- posed upon concerns which have hither to paid comparatively little taxes. At the same time that the measure meets popular approval its provisions are not criticised by the corporations which will be effected thereby. The Eddy law, as it will always be designated, will be a milestone in our progress in govern mental policy.” A Genuine Monopoly Measure. It will be noticed that the bill giving County Courts the power to lease streams for logging purposes is likelv to become a law. We do not take kindly to this bill, for it looks as though it was introduced by parties who intend making a raid on streams for the pur pose of controlling them for their own aggrandizement. The owners of abutting property end timber lands will be at the mercy of those who are fortunate in ob taining exclusive rights to these streams. This is not right, for, as we stated last week, the owners of property should have something to say about these im provements. True the matter of leasing the streams and fixing the toll is placed in the hands of County Courts, but a careful purtisal of the bill leaves the Court very little discretion, There is this redeeming feature about it, how. ever, the Courts can fix tolls so as to avoid exorbitant rates. But will they do this ? Take for instance the immense amount of timber that will have to be logged into some of the streams of Tilln- mook County, and one can see at a glance what an enormous amount of money will be made by those who ob tain the monopolies of the streams. And those who have no property nor timber interests can obtain them, which, we believe rightly belongs to those who have invested their money in property on these streams. We do not think it is wise legislation to give a monopoly in this way to one person or a corporation the exclusive right of streams, and we predict it will not be mmiv years before the pernicious effect of this bill will dawn upon the people. It is a genuine, pure and simple monoply measure, and we challenge the state legislature to dispute our assertion. Vosburg brings in Timothy Hay for Gangloff & Snuffer.
