As the county has thus far paid no heed to the repeated demand for a bridge across the Nehalem river—a long frit want and something that they are entitled to—they hav* levied a tax to bridge the North fork and want the county court to put in a bridge across the South lork. That appears to lie a fair proposition, and we hope that the county court will see its wav dear and be able to spare the "dough’’ this sum mer for a bridge across the South lork. We arc glad to say that the Nehalemites are united, and with considerable en thusiasm and determination, they mean to get out of tlirir “bottled up” condi tion by taxing themselves and asking the countv court to help them out. S ft * Tillamook County has almost reached normal condition, and is now dependent upon its dairy industry. The inflated valuation put into agricultural land in * this countv a few years ago practically put a stop to home seekers coming here . and it is going to take a long time to counteract the false impression that the land in tRis county is selling from $150 $200 an acre. 'V hat is going to interest home seekers, and also a large number of Oregonians, for the next few years, U fir irrigated districts in Eastern Oregon, for -he reason that they will lie able to raise two or three crops a year. We do not anticipate a great influx of home seekers to this county until the bar is improved or the advent of a railroad, but with the inflated valuation knocked out of land, and the conditions nearly normal, this is a good time for home seekers to come to Tillamook if they want to locate in the best dairying sec tion of Oregon. * M * From present indications, and from the unbusinehs like way in which Tillamook City officials have started out to con struct a new water st stem, the people will have to pay $50.000 for a system that is worth half the money, that is it the engineer's charges are any criterion to goby. 1‘he Headlight has contended" for a commission of business men to take hold of the proposed new water system, but this wi s not in accord with the ideas of some ol the members of the late city council, consequently it rushed, with undue haste, to bond the city like so many autocrats with the authority that it was ei dowed with. Probably, after the bond* have been taken up and the contracts have been all let, then those who have lie tn interested so much in these matters will be willing to turn the running ol the water system over to a commission.
