Since the new law has come into effect
in Washington, which makes gambling
a felony and a penitentiary punishment,
it is not surprising to hear that the gen
tlemen who operate at the gambling
tables in that state are rubber necking in
Oregon, where the law is more congenial
and the city authorities allow them to
run open houses, for the purpose of find,
ing new locations. What is a good rid
dance to Washington is a bad thing for
Oregon to become the dumping ground
for gamblers.
However, since Mayor
Williams, of Portland, has fell down in |
his efforts and promises to keep it a closed
city, it is safe to say that it will become .
the biggest dumping ground for Wash- j
ington gamblers. Some of them have
done some rubber-necking in Tillamook
City, but as there are plenty of places in
the city where a person can drop his wad
if he is foolish enough to think he is that
clever he can buck another man’s game,
they have taken their departure for other
places where there is not so much com
petition in gambling as here. However,
the public has no pity for the man who
gambles his hard earned wages so that
gamblers can live in luxury and idleness,
and no one can blame the gamblers for
running a “sure thing’’ game as long as
there are plenty of suckers to be caught
and the city officials wink their eyes at
the wide open violation of the law.

Somehow it looks as though an hoo
doo has struck the city by its deserted
appearance at times. It must be suffer-
ing from a real estate booming boome
rang. That's it, and that’s the reason
people fail to come to Tillamook when in
search of new locations It’s like this;
When they arrive in the state with the
intention of coming to this county, they
generally run across someone before they
reach here who is tooting for some other
place, and something like this takes place
between them :
“Where do you expect to locate ?”
“In Tillamook ; that is a fine dairying
country I have heard a great deal
about and want to see.”
“Oh, yes, it’s a splendid dairying sec
tion and very prosperous ; but, say,
stranger, they’re charging $150 to $200
per acre for land that is covered with
big stumps that will take another $200
to clear. They’ve got toll roads over
there that cost ♦1 for a team to travel a
few miles and they are butes, for you
strike chuck holes and the wheels go into
the mire up to the hub. Those people
over in Tillamook are shut in and can’t
get out, and you’re liable to have to re
main at Astoria fbr weeks if you attempt
to go in by steamer. Tillamook is not
a bad place, but you don’t want to go
to a place that is shut in and bottled-up.
No new’ settlers are going there because
taxation is high and the expense of get
ting there is liable to put a person with
small means in the bankruptcy court.”
“But Tillamook is the best dairying
section of Oregon, the dairymen are all
prosperous and contented, with butter
fat ranging from 25c. to 30c. a pound
and where plenty of feed can lie grown
at little expense.”
“That’s all true, stranger, but why
pay $150 per acre for land in Tillamook
when you can get farm land near the
railroad from $25 to $50 per acre ?”
That puts the stranger to thinking, for
he remembers that he is not over stocked
with money, Consequently, he recon*
aiders his intention of going to Tilla
mook and locates elsewhere. That is a
sample of how Tillamook is handicapped
at different points in getting a share of
the new settlers coming to Oregon.
How long will it be before the Olsens
are back again ?
