For instance, how many cargoes of lumber can be shipped from Tillamook with thirty billion feet of standing tim ber ? We hope there will be no breakers ahead, but we do not anticipate any, in getting an appropriation from congress, unless the people of this county are indif ferent Co their own interests and will not support the partv in power whom thev will ask the favor of granting a big ap propria tion for Tillamook. If the people of this county are wise, and will for once drop their political prejudices for some thing that will materially benefit Tilla mook, every voter should turnout next Monday and cast their ballot for Binger Hermann. Democrats, prohibitionists and socialists should do this for local reasons. The H eadlight is exceedingly anxious .that Tillamook county roll up a big vote for Hermann next Monday, and we can assure the voters if thev will do this river and harbor improvements for this county are assured. And as the H eadlight has persistently advocated for a number of years the improvement of Tillamook bar and is in close touch with those who pledged their support to this project, in the judgment of theeditor of this newspaper it is a duty every voter owes the counry to vote for Hermann, for in obtaining an appropriation from the present administration, it will solve the long and difficult question of our bot- tled-up, tied-up, and exasperating condi tion, something which is the cause of a financial loss, directly or indirectly, to every settler in the county. This is how the H eedlight has the situation sized up: If you want the county to remain tied-up, bottled-up, vote for either the democratic, prohibitionist or socialist candidates, for they could do nothing for Tillamook and it is only throwing a vote away. If you want the county develop ed, industries to increase, plenty of em ployment for labor and farm and city, property to enhance in value, vote for Hermann and the republican administra tion which can give Tillamook, if it votes right, an "open door” to the markets of the world for its lumber, butter, cheese, fish, cattle, etc In answer to some inquiries we made of Senator J II. Mitchell before he left Washington regarding the improvement of Tillamook bar, it will interest the peo ple of this county to know that we have received a communication from the sena tor informing us that Major Langfitt’s report on this contemplated improve ment Ims been received at Washington, and it is interesting to know that the report is highly favorable to having this project carried out, provided, however, that the Board of Engineers for rivers and harbors report favorable also and the Oregon delegation can get congress to appropriate the money. Major Lang fitt’s report contains charts of the recent survey of the bay and bar, with plans and estimates, for securing depths of 15 feet and 20 feet on Tillamook bar, which is to be obtained by putting in jetties and dredging. The litter of Brig. Gen. G L. Gillespie, chief of engineers (who held our letter until Major Langfitt’s report was received), to Senator Mitchell on the subject of Tillamook improvements, has also been received by the editor, and reads as follows : Japan Ready to Fight.

The chancellor of the University of Ne braska, in an address before the class in ethics, practically announced that he no longer entertained the views he had held upon silver coinage, in company with many others a lew years ago. Chancel lor Andrews said he had been misled bv the arguments of public men, and par ticularly by a celebrated geologist of Europe, who had, after much study and investigation, announced that the sup ply of gold was being exhausted and the worlds mines would soon cease to yield sufficient quantity of that metal. This made it necessary that there be another standard of value. Time had proved the prophecy ot the geologist to lie false. Instead of lessening, said the chancellor, the output ol gold has greatly increased and the supply now seems inexhaustible and, as a result, prices of commodities, instead of going to a lower level, have constantly appreciated.
