BINGER HERMANN VISITS TILLAMOOK. A Large Crowd Greets Him and to Hear What he has to Say about Improving the Tillamook Bar. Representative Binger Hermann came in on Sunday to look over the situation in regard to the proposed improvement of Tillamook bar and other government work in this county. He was met at the Trask house the night previous by Presi dent A. J. Colin and Messrs T. B. Hand lev and F. R. Beals, who escorted him to the city the next dav. On Monday he was taken down the bay in the Marta, accompanied by Messrs. B. L. Eddy, T. B. Handley, H. T. Botts, Geo. B. Lamb, P. McIntosh, F. S. Whitehouse, Fred C. Baker, J. F. Allen and Engineer Tower, who took the government charts with him and explained to Mr. Hermann the whole situation, after which he went to Nehalem, returning to Tillamook City on Tuesday, where he was tendered a public reception, arranged by the Port of Tillamook Commission. What Mr. Hermann Said. A large crowd filled the opera house to hear what Mr. Hermann had to say about the improvement of Tillamook bar, for that is the burning question in this city at the present time. Mr. A. J. Cohn presided, and a few remarks were made by Messrs. T. B. Handley, Claude Thayer and B. L. Eddy, when the latter gentleman intro duced the new congressman. Congressman Hermann opened his ad- dress by saying it was a great privilege to him to speak to such a progressive class of people as he found in Tillamook, and he appreciated the confidence they had reposed in him by the demonstration that evening. This showed him that he still retained the confidence of the people in this county that he had when lie repre sented them in congress before, and the kindly voice by the sounding sea in Tilla mook county and the loyal support he had received was certainly very pleasing to him. He then told the audience of his former visit to Tillamook and told what he had done to secure appropriations. He was greatly surprised to see how the county had developed and what a bright future was before it. The purpose of bis visit was to gain as much information as possible about harbor improvements and the proposed improvement of Tilla mook bpr, and he asked for the hearty co-operation of the people, so that he would be well supplied with data. “I will do all I possibly can to secure a:i ap propriation for Tillamook bar; moie than that I cannot do. I will be loyal to the interests of Tillamook,’’ brought forth applause as Mr. Hermann uttered these words. He then explained how dif ficult it was for the two Oregon congress men, in a body of 386 members, to con vince them of the necessity of appropri ating large sums of money for harbor improvements, especially at a place so little known and with co small amount of commerce ns Tillamook had. The con gressmen from the Eastern states hesi tated in making such appropriations, but for the Columbia river it was quite dif ferent. However, he would have the as sistance of his colleague and the two sen ators in trying to get an appropriation for Tillamook bar. He was satisfied tha t the bar ought to be improved so as to enable those who owned the great forests of timber an opportunity to manufacture it, and as this to a large extent had fallen into the hands of Eastern capitalists, it would give remunerative employment to thousands of men and would bring about and era of prosperity in Tillamook that no other county in Oregon ever enjoyed. The resources in Tillamook county were simply marvelous. But it was of no ad vantage as long as there were difficulties at the bar, which did not allow the re sources to be developed as they should be. Water wavs were thechea|xst roads and the poor man’s highway, so he wanted to see vessels drawing 16 feet and over come and go to Tillamook. Then the future of the county will be es- tablishefl. Water ways belonged to all the people, so the national government should improve them. Mr Hermann . took up the question, so often advanced by the engineers, that the commerce of a port did not justify the expenditure. To him such a theory was abstired. “ What would the commerce of Tillamook bay lx if the bar was improved ?” was one of Mr. Hermann’s questions. Judging by the great timber resources and the dairying and fishing industries, the com merce of Tillamook would immediately grow to large proportions directly the bar was improved, but it could not do so until it was. In his mind that was the way to unlock the situation and overcome the objections of the engineers should it lx raised again in the case of Tillamook.

The citizens of Tillamook were greatly I surprised and grieved to hear the sad : sad news on Friday evening that Capt. , Geo. Hunt was dead, and it becomes our j painful duty to record his death. He had I been sick but a few days with pneumonia and but few person knew of his sickness, so his death came as a great surprise to them, for Captain Hunt was one of the most highly respected citizens in the county with a large number of friends to mourn his death. Captain George Hunt was born in Ire land in 1846. He spent almost hisentire youth in Batavia, N.Y., when he moved westward to Iowa and finally to Ore gon. He had been connected with the government lighthouse service for 18 years, during eleven of which he was the keeper of Cape Meares lighthouse, where he died on Friday evening after a brief sickness.
