T. Kinnaman was in from Beaver Tuesday. He expects to leave Tillamook shortly for California with Walter Kin naman, where they expect to remain for a vear or so. We are sorry to see some of our best citizens leaving the county. E M. Harvey has threatened Rollie Watson with a criminal libel suit for libelous matter which appeared in this week’s Herald, unless he demes it and makes a public apology. J. P. Allen and others are also hot in the collar. Bert Biggs brought to the city Wed- nesday two boxes of fresh herrings which fie caught in a net in Tillamook Bay. He fias caught herrings in the bay in pre- vioui veara. but not ao early in the sea- s,,n. He found readv sale for them at >c. a dozen. In some parts of England herrings are sold tor lc. a dozen, and they are much larger than those caught the bay here. Yesterday was the last day in which Fixpayers could receive the 3 per cent re- Eate upon their taxes, and up to that lime Sheriff Woolfe collected somewhere •n the neighborhood of $00.000. The col- Action of taxes went much smootherthis »ear owing to the sheriff having consid- »ruble more time in which to collect the tixes, and to the fact that mail was not delayed several weeks, was |ast year by the snow blockade in the moun­ tains when taxes were being paid. | j , , For The Times’ Russian correspondent states that eight submarine boats of the latest American type have just been laid J down at a secluded spot in Sevastopol and are being built by skilled Ameruan workmen. ! the Sick.

Every indication points in the direc­ tion that the dairymen will have a good year. * * * 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. * M * 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. * * We must beg Rollie's pardon, for we had no idea that we could so easily stir I up his liver. But, say, Rollie did you 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 brick” scheme was played upon Rollie by those who want to use his columns to “roast” people. W * * 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 awniting trial for manslaughter, over stayed his parole «nil pleaded rf an ex cute that rr it was Saturday he thought he wi.uld go and spend Sun with his wife, returning to the jail on MomLay morning MIGRATION OF THE SNIPS.
