The only b isiness transacted before the city council on Monday was ordering in a side walk and a resolution by Council man Imbler for the city officials to hand in a report every month. Mayor 'Tal mage explained that he thought this was necessary so that the city council would know what work and what business was done the previous month, as well as what money was paid in and for what purpose. Mr. U. S Bryant, purser of the steamer Geo. R. Vosburg, was in the city this week closing up the business of the Ne halem Transportation Company, which is to tie-up the steamer pending negotia tions with Eastern parties who are contemplating the purchase of that com pany’s interests. The warehouse in this city has been turned over to Mr. B. C. Lamb, agent for the Pacific Navigation Company. Mr. J. A. Taft left the city on Monday for Aberdeen, where he has accepted a position as superintendent of the Western Slade Mill Co. We regret to see Mr. Taft leave Tillamook, and in doing so we only express thfe sentiment of most of our citi zens, for he proved himself a thorough business man,with broad ideas, pleasant to trade vith and respected by his em ployes. if this city hai^half a dozen mill men of the caliber of Mr. Taft it would soon become a manufacturiug town of no small proportions. People who have property and business interests in this city should never have allowed Mr. Taft to leave, but should have got together and helped him start a saw mill. A farewell concert, previous to the de parture of Mrs. Goddard for her home, will be given at the opera house on Sat urday evening, March 7th, at 8 15. The program on this occasion will be diversi fied and the humorous will largely pre dominate. The Tillamook Glee Club will make its initial bow to the public, and Prof. Goddard’s pupils of the high school are rehearsing a new coon song and cake walk for this program.

The annual meeting of the Tillamook Creamery Company was held on Sntu*. day, when Messrs. J. Sanders, A. Hunt and D. Fitzpatrick were chosen directors. On motion of Mr. Claude Thayer, it was carried that the stockholders elect the treasurer, whereupon Mr. Thayer was elected to that position. The secretary’s (Mr. Delsman*«) annual report showed this result ; Amount of milk received.. 1,518,876 lb». 3 85^ Test .......................................

Mr. Thayer explain- cd to the stockholders the scheme that was on foot to form a combination of the different factories, for the purpose of purchasing their supplies and disposing of their product conjointly, and to bring this about a leflgthy stipulation was handed in by Mr. Thayer and read by the secretary. It calls for one member from each factory to form a committee, and from that committee an executive board of three meniliers is to lie chosen to conduct the businessol the combine To this document some eight factories bad signed, including the Tillamook Dairy Association, Red Clover Factory, Holden A Ziemer, Nolan’s factory at Riverdale, Mr. C.

It was, however, decided that the directors attend the meeting to be called for the purpose of forming a com- bine, and to use their own discretion as to joining the combine. <ti.50 per year. Mr. Ward A. Dwight, a prominent wholesale timber dealer of San Fran cisco, who was on his way to Tillamook, died suddenly in Portland on Sunday. He walked into the Cactus saloon and told Harry Musgrief. the bartender, that he was not feeling well and had a severe pain in his chest and was suffocating. He said he had tried everything except whiskey and would see if a glass would relieve him. The bartender told him if he was suffering from indigestion he had 1 better take a little pepsin in the liquor. The bartender reached around to get it, and when he turned he saw Dwight slid ing to the floor. He lay there frothing at the mouth and gasping for breath, but before a doctor could be called he expired. Mr. A. J. Cohn had been in strumental in getting him interested in lumber in Tillamook county, and it was for the purpose of contracting for the output of the proposed new saw mill that Mr. Dwight was coming to Tilla mook. His arrival was hourly expected when Mr. Cohn heard of his sudden death. This mav delay for a time the erection of another saw mill in or near this city, but those who have the mattes of going into the milling business in hand are confident of making a suc cess of it, and with their timber interests, another saw mill is a foregone conclu sion. A Popular Couple Married. A quiet wedding took place in this city on Saturday evening at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Grayson. The happy couple were Mr. Clark E. Hadley and Miss Nevada Gray son. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Gabriel Sykes, pastor of the M.E. church, in the presence of the relatives of the re petitive families and a few intimate friends of the contracting parties. The bride and groom are popular young peo ple of this city, and Clark is to be con gratulated upon winning the affections of such a bright, accomplished and domesticated young woman for his part ner in life, and the H ead L ight only ex presses the sentiment of their numerous friends when it wishes them a long life of happiness. The happy couple left on Sunday to spend their honeymoon in California, going out on the steamer Geo. R. Vos- burg. On their return from San Fran cisco they will visit some of the bride's relatives in Southern Oregon and the Willamette Valley. Mr. and Mrs. W. Stephens accompan ied them, who will remain in California for several weeks for the benefit of Mrs. Stephen’s health. Comparison of Lumber Prices. November and December prices, 1902.

We believe that Tillamook City will be up against a vital question at no distant dale, and that is whether it can induce mill men to erect saw mills in or near the city. Once they get started in the Bay, it is conceded that a town will start up in proximity to them. Every business man can see at a glance how it would cripple the business of this city, for where the pay rolls are will be the place where the business will flourish. And on this ac count we think something should be done to encourage milling and other industries being started here. We do not know any place where there are better opportuni ties for pulp mills, paper mills and saw mills after the channel is deepened two feet. Do not let us loose the goose with the golden egg because we have no push dub, commercial club, or some other or ganization to look niter the city’s inter ests. There is enough enterprising peo ple in this city, with capital and timber, to start several saw mills as soon as they are assured they can dispose of the out put in outside markets. But here is the trouble : heretofore there has been con siderable undercurrent working agaiust new saw mills and getting lumber sch- noors here. This has been the one thing •which has retarded the lumbering indus try and the growth of Tillamook City, which even disgusted a broad guaged business man like Mr. Taft. Surely, we should rise above such contracted ideas, Wanted, a Farm. for, ss the H eadlight stated in a pre Wanted, to rent, a dairy ranch, by a vious issue, more saw mills there are bet ter it will be for everybody.
