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
