One of the arguments advanced, when the waler agitation was on, was that when the svstem was building it would mean a lot of business in the city. Now another hot air bubble is exploded. * ♦ * Two hundred dollars for salary for the road boss. How many loads of gravel would that put on the roads which have never seen a load of gravel and which needs improving more than the countv needs a road boss. * * * The sheriff of Clackamas finds that he has to do something to satisfy the pub- lie demand for the enforcement of law. It is no moral wave that is going over Oregon nor are the sheriffs asked to ex ceed their duty. Hence, they see the handwriting on the wall if they persist in not doing their duty. * * * As the local authorities are apparently . doing nothing to prevent liquors being sold on the sly, it might be as well for the parties who have obtained sufficient evi dence to communicate with the govern ment officials, for no one has a right to sell liquor without a government license. So if the local officials will not do any thing to stop it, the other course can be resorted to. * * * The case against W. J. Stephens, who was arrested for gambling and dismissed for want of evidence on Friday, is not over with yet. For Billy, in “squeal ing” against Larson, “squealed”against himself. He testified before the justice on Wednesday that he gambled with Lar son over Morton & Trombley’s store. Is one “squealer’’ any better than another “squealer” in the sight of the law ? * * * It is not likely that much excitement, if any, will be caused this year on ac count of the proposed railroad tapping this long neglected country. It is time to feel hilarious when track laying reaches the summit of the mountain and is on the down grade towards the coast. Until then, no one is going to bank upon Tillamook getting a railroad, although the prospects look bright for the road to be built next year. * * # I. F. Larson was not the only one who “squealed” in that gambling fracas, for Joe Hauxhurst “squealed” also. He “swiped’’ two bottles of whiskey from over Morton & Trombley’s store while Edmunds and Bosley were out on the street selling whiskey. Sheriff Woolfe swore out a complaint and arrested Lar son forgambling, liecause he “squealed,” and he will now have to arrest Haux hurst to prove that he is not persecuting and well as prosecuting Larson. One "squealer” is no better than another “squealer. ” * * * The Headlight man is going to make a suggestion to Judge Conder and county commissioners, if we may be allow to nddress that august body without being challenged to a debate, not the we claim to know anything about road work or how Tillamook County should lie run. We live in hopes of learning some dav, anyway. But to the point. How to make and maintain a free county road out of the Wilson river road. Simple as falling off a log. Make a road district from Bester's ford to the Washington county line six miles wide. This will give somewhere between, on a conservative estimate of between $10,000 a nd $11,000 a year for road work. Apply the entire amount on the road, and in three years the road would be in good shape if the work was let out by contract and the distance reduced three to five miles if the road was change the other side of Me- Namer's camp. That is about the only way to make a free road out of the Wil son river road, and as the timber owners pay a large proportion ol the taxes of the countv. they have a right to demand that the road tax lie expended in the dis trict where it is collected. * * * We are going to ask the other attor neys a question,not that we expect them to agree with us, nor do we expect them tocharge us up for advice. Iudge Con der entered into a contract with Hand- ley & Thayer to collect monies alleged to be owing the county, on commission. In two suits the county has lost and a third one will meet the same fate. Now who ought to bear the expenses and the judgments in the cases which are lost? There is not a word in the contract that the county has to pav it. Probably it may not be considered good attorney sense, nor horse sense, on the Headlight man s part, but, for argument sake, we are going to lake the position that if that famous contract entered into on be half of the county specifies what amount of commission Handley & Thayer are to receive for doing other officials work, we contend that where they fail to make a case stick the attorneys, not the tax payers, should foot the bills for costs and judgments. If the county court contract, ed with a farmer to do a piece of road work aid lie ran up against several snags, he would not expect to draw on the countv funds. Neither should the attorneys,who have run up against •' me legal snugs, hence we take the position CLOU^'g ^pragers . brass" New and Second Hand Bicycles at Fred Forslund’s.
