Now that the city is boarding a num- ber of prisoners, a rock pile would be a good industry for them to start upon. * * * Time don’t count for anything in try ing a little case in Tillamook City, when it takes nearly the whole day to dispose of it. * * * Is it a fact that Ralph Ackley is to be married on Sunday ? We thought he had been casting googoo eyes in the neighborhood of Netarts, where Cupid was actively at work. * * * The moral, or we should say the im moral, side of life in Tillamook county is being gradually fieeped into. And it is a good thing, if all is true of the immoral conduct of some people. * * * There is one thing that never troubles the people of Tillamook county at this season of the year, and that is the zero weather and blizzards that the Middle West and East are preparing for, and which are unknown here. * * * In our correspondence this week we find a letter which concludes: “I have been interested in what the H eadlight has said regarding the prospective rail road, and you will keep the work going till Dundee’s crowd put up or quit.” * * # It is true to a certain extent that most everv business in Tillamook City is ove - done, or, in other words, the city is long on business places and short on indus tries that create wealth. Until such time as the city can procure industries to give a weekly payroll it will be a survival of the fittest. * M M There is one thing that should be set- tied before a vote is taken to bond the ......... .. citv for and that is : Is the management of the proposed new water system to be placed in the hands of a commission or in the hands of the city council to be dragged into city politics every annual election ? * * * It’s a little premature to chew the rag over politics, even though some of the slick and slipiiery politicians ina v ha ze it all figured out how thev expect the dear people to cast their votes at the next election. But then Tillamook voters are not dead easy any more for those who think their party owes them a living and are continually wanting office. * * * Abe Cohn is manager of the Pippins, and the H eadlight man is anxious to see him chasing the pigskin and callinp “Down’’ with all the players piled on top. We move that his position be half or quarter back, for, surely, he is going to give us ar. exhibition of his prowess on the football field. Anvway, Rah ! rah ! rah I For the Pippins and Mana- ger Cohn. * * * If there is 011c distressing scene in life and an object of pity, it is a person who has become ins me and a raving madman. The public is apt at times to make light of such cases, but to relatives and friends it is a sad and sorrowful spectacle, even more so than d*ath. But to josh, m ike fun and indulge in the co ninon vernacu lar that a person is “Rattv.” “Buggy,” etc , is making light of a sad case where our human sympathies should be exer cised to a greater extent. * * * Some people have a vague idea that the H eadlight will oppose bonding the the city for #60.000 for a new water svstem. It will do nothing of the kind. It may do so, however, it the building and management of the system is to l»e left in the hands of the city council to lie made a political shuttlecock everv year, hut more on that point later. What the H eadlight will strive to do will l>e to bring out a’l phases for ami against bonding the citv, and after doing that leave the taxpayers to vote as they wish. ♦ * * Most everv city on rhe Pacific Coast appt ar to run up against the gambling problem at one time or another, but as long as the officials fail to perform their duty and dodge the law by allowing the gamblers to ofjerate by paving “blood money*’ for protection, it is not expected much will be done to stamp out the evil. We are lieginning to think that if men are fools enough to think they can buck professional gamblers in |>ercentnge games and slot machines—it is the same old adage—fools and their money soon part. a * « That the human race i« degenerating on account of alcoholism there i« plenty of proof of that right in Tillamook City, and it does not take the eye nor the know ledge of a scientist •.<> discern it either.

City “cooler” this week, but there is for the voting soakes if they would fight the alcoholism disease as they would any other malignant disease after being taken down with it. * * * Here is an item of news which is some what significant. Wc are informed thnt one dav last week Mr. Win. Reid, secre tary <»f the Portland, Nehalem & Tilla- inook Railroad Co., and Mr Joslin, sec retary of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Co., reached Forest Grove on the morning train and took a rig and drove out to Gales Creek,where it is said the pass is for the proposed railroad. Ti. y returned the same evening after dark and took the train the next morn ing, probably thinking they had not been recognized. Now what is Reid doing in the company of Hammond's repre««ciita- tative ? Oh ! oh ! Hobnobbling with the railroad company, sir ? * F * The next time Master Fish Warden Vail Dusen and Sam Elmore sharpen their political axes we hope they will choose Clatsop county as the battleground, for Tillamook county does not want to lie put to the expense of thrashing out their petty quarrels. Anyway, Van Dusen has not shown himself to possess much fish senses since he has been master fish war den, and neither did Mr. Elmore when he helped secure that position for him But when fish politicians fall out, all we can stay is : Sic ’em, sic ’em, Ride halgh ; but sic ’em. sic ’em, in their own county next time, for we don’t want to see Clatsop politics injected into Tilla mook politics. * * * What a disappointment it will lie if an appropriation for the improvement of Tillamook bar is not sanctioned by the river and harbor committee this winter. This is how we view the situation : It is a big undertaking and it will require a big effort to get the project started. Are we going to whittle wood at home and trust to providence, or arc we going to move in the matter by sending a delega tion to Washington to lay the claims of I Tillamook l>ef<»re the river and harbor committee ? Now is the time to move in the matter and mnp out a course of ac tion, not when it isscen that it is loo late to do anything. All readily admit that , much depends upon getting Tillamook bar improved, and although the Oregon delegation will doits utmost to get this new project sanctioned, in our estimation it tiehooves the citizens to l»c»tir them- i selves also. * » * We are glad to see that the city mar shnl is making it tropical for drunks who* get on a toot ami remain that way for mt ver a I days. They have lieen cauti •med time and again without paying the least attention, until their conduct on the public streets have liecame so bad that it was found necessary to convince them that thev were not running the govern, meat of Tillamook < ity. Consequent I v S'rn.e of them are in durance vile, having taikd to pat a fine, while other» rs- caped the "cooler’’ by paving that sum.
