TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, DECEMBER 22,
Editorial Snap Shots.
When is Dave and Roger going to give
that Irish jig ?
* * *
The Headlight man has never got into
the bondage indebtedness band wagon,
and never intends to.
* * *
Are the taxpayers fa vorn We to the
county court making a special lew tor
$2,000 for a county exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark exposition ?
* * *
No matter how the other commission­
ers may vote, F. S. Whitehouse is not
in favor of bonding the city for $43.000
for a 14 guage pipe line.
* * *
The water agitation was started in a
‘‘do up’’ spirit ami it will “do up" the
town if it is not taken hold of as a bnsi-
n ss and financial proposition.
* * *
Gee ' Aint Mayor Talmage and a few
of the bond agitators in a devil of a rush
to negotiate those bonds before the term
of the present city council expires. And
for what reason this terrible rush ?
* V *
Now that the gamblers are taking their
departure from Tillamook, some awfully
ugly things are being said about officials
who were paid to allow gambling to go
on in this city. We hope the next grand
jury will reveal the identity of the city
boodlers.
* * *
D. McKelvev, who was killed in East
ern Oregon, was owing some of our busi-
'• •»•s men sm ill ; tn a n «, the largest
being for $40 He was delinquent on his
suubcription to the Headlight, but we
hope Old Nick won’t make it any hotter
for him on that account.
* * *
/\n aspirant claims that he was defeat­
ed for councilman at Oregon City on ac­
count of his opponent using beer to help
his candidacv. Well, if it doesn’t need
anything stronger than lagar, why the
defeated candidate might go one better
next time and .esort to Burboii, for that
lias a wonderful effect of holding voters
in line in Tillamook.
* * *
From all appearance Tillamook City
from nowon will bea quiet, conservative
agricultural town, doiug a steady, but
limited amount of business, ¡'respects
of new lumbering industries starling are
not verv bright, with the prevailing quo­
tations on lumber, hence it cannot be ex­
pected that the population of this citv
will increase under these conditions.
* * *
Is Tillamook Citv going to have a nice
Christmas present in the shape of a big
bondage indebtedness ? We’re not say­
ing a word, one wav or the other, for
here’s the proposition and which is up
to the water commission : Can it make
a business and financial success of a new
water system, with $50,000 indebtedness,
after paving interest, running expenses
and a sinking fund ?
* * W
Business men arc get ting their eye teeth
cut going down in their jeans for special
editions and write ups the past year,
which have not done their businesses nor
Tillamook county one particle of good.
Before fooling away tl cir money again,
they should be assured that there is some
merit, originality and literary ability in
an edition that would advertise the
county, not in an advertising scheme got­
ten up to make a little money at the
business men’s expense.
* * *
It is just as well to go ahead slow, and
not with a rush, with the new water
system, for the pipe that is proposed to
only 14 guage. It was claimed by a
lew that they wanted a first class sys­
tem, Will a pipe line of that thickness be
a first class system ? When S. A. Brod­
head, G. W. Grayson and Howard Cary
made an investigation of the Killam
creek they figured it out that it would
take $(>0,000 for a first class system, if
that stream was used.
* M *
This is the thickness of the steel that is
to be used in the proposed pipe line for
a new water system for Tillamook City
from Killam creek :
A '
Query. How many years will it take
to rust out a galvenized iron, steel or
iron pipe of this thickness in Tillamook,
where the tendency is for these materials
to rust out much quicker on the coast
than in other places ? That is the thick­
ness of the pipe the citv is to be bonded
lor for 145,000. What do you think of
it ?
* * *
A question for the water commission
to consider : What would it cost to buy
out the present water company and re­
lay the line with a better grade of wood
pipe ? Could it be done for $20,000 ?
As it is almost impossible to do anything
for several months, the water commis­
sion should take up that suggestion, or
any other, before it finally decides which
it will recommend, so the city council
will act wisely if it will not complicate
mitteis bv hasty proceedings. A good
many persons will be guided bv what
the water commission recommends, lor
as it will eventually be empowered to
construct a water system and manage it
.’ h well, we do not think any meinbet of
the commis»iun is wanting to rush into
s n tilling which is not a financial sue-
us» and which may play out long before
the bunded indebtedness is paid off.

‘ Aint that man killed yet ?” was the
remark the editor heard made as he was
walking along the street a few days ago,
We fail to see what we have done to be
deprived of life and our Christmas tur­
key dinner and all the good truck which
goes with it at this festive time, simply
because the Headlight man has told some
wholesome truth about gambling and
those who have been mixed up in some
wav or other with it, for we haven’t told
one third the things we know about it.
One thing we do know, we have the
commendation of the people of Tillamook
for what we have done in their interest,
but we know also that we have engen-
deretl the animosity of the faction which
sided in with the saloon gambling joints.
That does not trouble us one iota, for it
only places those, and especially business
men, in a wrong light in the public eve.
The Headlight man will be found a much
nard individual to kill oft' than some peo­
ple imagine, and we expect to be in a
great many more fight?» in Tillamook and
on the side of the people.
