The question that is now uppermost in
most everybody’s mind is: “Will Tilla
mook Couutv get a railroad ?”
* * *
These are times when the tax dodgers
can smile and the taxpayer sweat drops
of blood until the agony isover.
* * *
What is the betting on Tillamook get
ting a railroad ? Is it 2 to 1 that it will
be constructed or 100 to 1 that it won’t
be ?

No wonder Kuropatkin is whipped in
every battle, for he hasn’t any Tillamook
political strategists and scrappers on his
staff.

Somehow, we do not like the word
“Association’’ that was connected with
the name of the organization that was
formed on Saturday to aid railroad con
struction into this couutv, for we have
had too many associations that were
hoodoo affairs.
* * *
This is a question the citizens in Tilla-
mook City has a right to ask. Suppose
the new water system does not pay the
interest on the bonds and the running
expenses, Will the city council have to
make up the deficiency out of the 2 mill
levy ?
* * *
We fail to see where there is liable to
be any harmony between the different
factions in this city as long as a few per
sons want to run or control everybody
when a number of citizens won’t be con.
trolled in the old fashioned style of run
ning things in this county.

California was visited with a rain and
wind storm which lasted several davs.
We have been wondering what has be
come of the many wind and rain storms
that visit Tillamook every winter. This
county can spare a number of these rain
storms, and if California can capture a
few which went astray this winter, so
much the better.
* * *
A number of bombastic paragraphs
have been published about Tillamook
City since local option went into effect,
which are untrue and misleading. We
fail to see where anyone is being injured
on account of local option, whereas a
large number of persons arc being bene
fited ami better off thereby. Every intel
ligent, unbiased, person will admit this
if they will take the trouble to report the
facts.

employ “Sammy” and pay him another
dollor to write up a “roast” for the
Headlight man? Ah ! Ah ! Ah I Evi
dently, by the ear marks of the several
“roastings” a number of the citizens
came in for this w**ek, another “gold

This is how the Oregonian’s city re-
porter wrote up a paragraph about the
new court house :
T illamook C ounty P rosperous .—
G. B. Lamb, County Clerk, Tillamook
County, announces to the public that he
is ready to receive bids for the erection
and completion of a fine brick or artifi
cial stone Courthouse at Tillamook.
The new building will be erected alter
the most approved modern plans of
construction. It will contain a jail cage,
vault door ami will be lighted through
out by electricity. Tillamook County
today is one of the most prosperous
sections of Oregon. It contains practi
cally an inexhaustible supply oislanding
timber. The waters of its harbors and
rivers teem with a great variety of fish
life, and in the possibilities of the future
development of its dairying interests the
county promises to rival the dairying
industry of the famous Isle of Jersey.
Construction work on the new Court
house will be commenced immediately
on acceptance of contract by the county
authorities at Tillamook.

Yesterday was the last day on which
taxpayers could receive the benefit of the
3 per cent rebate on their taxes for 1904.
The tax roll was turned over to the
sheriff two or three weeks earlier than
usual this year, and this gave a longer
time in which people could pay and save
the 3 per cent, and also a voided the great
rush of the taxpayers into the sheriff’s
office within three or four weeks. This
made it unnecessary to employ extra
help in the sheriff’s office as iti "past
years. This important reform is dur to
an act passed by the legislature in 1903.
which required towns and school dis
tricts to report their levies by January
1st instead of February 1st, as under the
old la w, whichchange enabled the count y
clerk to complete the tax roll At an earl
ier date than before, and turn it over to
the sheriff. Ender the old law, the clerk
hail to wait until after February 1st lie«
fore he conld complete the tax roll, and
could not get it into the sheriff '« hands
till about the eml of February, and this
made a rush in the sheriff’s office in order
to take advantage of the rebate.and also
made it necessary to have extra help.
The new law was introduced into the
legislature of 1903 by Representative B.
L. Eddy, and Tillamook and the other
counties have thereby saved the expense
of extra help and the taxpayers accom
modated with more time in which to pay
their taxes.
* * *
The town of Tillamook has raised
nearly $35,000 of a subsidy asked for a
railroad. This would be a small sum of
tnouey for a city like Portland, but it is
an exceedingly liberal subsidy for a place
the size of Tillamook. It illustrates how
thoroughly in earnest the Tillamookers
are in their efforts to secure railroad con
nection with the outside world. Such
enterprise should not go unrewarded,
and it is to be hoped that the thriving
little seaport will soon have the desired
facilities for developing her wonderful
natural resources.—Oregonian.
It is perfectly true, as the Oregonian
«ays, “How thoroughly in earnest the
Tillamookers are in their efforts to secure
railroad connections with the outside
world.” They have a right to be when
they see other parts of the state enjoy,
ing transportation facilities and the dif-
Acuities they have had to struggle under
for a long number of years. Unfortu
nately lor Tillamook, it is one of those
long neglected Coast Counties. Turned
down from getting harbor improvements
by the Board of Engineers at Washing
ton on the foolish pretext that Tilla
mook is too near the Columbia river,
and from getting railroad connections
with Portland because the business in
terests of that city does not realize what
a valuable "feeder” Tillamook, with its
wonderful undeveloved resources, would
be to Portland, and less than 100 miles
apart. With patience, industry, perse
verance, yet uncomplaining, Tillaniook-
ers have stood up under the load and
prospered in the face of difficulties which
other parts of the state have long since
overcame, and it is out of this industry
and thrift that the community, though
a small one, is able to raise $35,000 for
a railroad. But, as a railroad would be
a valuable “feeder’’ to Portland, it cer
tainly looks as though, as the Tillamook
end of the proposed line has shown a
liberal disposition to do something, the
Portland end also ought to show a will
ingness to do something to get a rail
road from Tillamook. What is Portland
willing to do to help it along ?
A COMEDY JAIL.
Elizabethtown, the county seat of
Essex, in the Adirondack^, poseeaae« a
comedy jail, according to the Philadel
phia Ledger. It is .small, having win
dows secured by wooden bars and a
jailyurd inclosed by a «olid fence of
1 hr* e-tpiaj Ler-inch board«, which a
healthy mule could« push over with hi*
ohouhier. But the prisoners rarely, if
ever, attempt to escape. Some good
stories are told by Judge Kellogg,
.Judge Hand and other resident«. It ia
a custom to allow the prisoners out
on parole, M» that they may cut the
grass on neighboring lawns, do gar
den work, or repair roads for the vil
lage or county. Recently one prison
er, who sliould have returned at eight
o'clock, did not apply for admission
until nearly an hour later, The war-
«ten angrily demanded to know the
reason, and Added: “Don’t let this
occur again, or I will not allow you
to corne in. I lock the door at eight
o’clock, and won’t open it in the future
for you.” Another accused of and
