mook, and which are dependent upon bar
improvements before they can be manufac
tured. 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 :

Free silver lias lost an advocate in the
person of Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews.
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.
