The moral, or we should say the im

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

West and East are preparing for, and
which are unknown here.

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.

council to be dragged into city politics

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.

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.

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 ?

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.
