No promoters have turned up this week wirf! promises to give Tillamook railroad connections in a little while. * * * The Herald’s Devil turned out a much more interesting newspaper that the editor of that sheet could have don , even if he did show his democratic teelh. Better swop places Rollie, * * * It is expected ¿that the census of the county will show no increase in the pop ulation of Tillamook, for it will be some where in the neighborhood of 4,500 to 5,000 inhabitants, with plenty of room for ten times that number. * * * Violators of the local option law in Multnomah, Coos, Benton and Wasco are gradually finding themselves in a tight place, with fines and imprisonment confronting them. No wonder that they are quitting the illegal business. * * * For nearly three years Rollie has had his subscribers on the hook and line with a promise that lie was going to give away a buggy. The promise is so long drawn out that he ought to throw in his baby auto, for the buggy has become shop worn. * * M These are no idle figures, but cold facts which cannot be denied. For the year 1904 Tillamook Countv manufactured over three million pounds of butter and cheese. There's nothing small about Tillamook, anyway, for it can boast of dairy cattle numbering over ten thou- sand. * * * Cattle buyers, es|»ecially for the large packing houses, could gather up thou- sands of heads of stock in prime condi- tion at low figures, for a large number of the farmers are over-stocked, espe cially with young stock that is in prime condition and just the thing for the meat market. * * * So it is admitted that all the old line life insurance companys gave large sums of money to help out the republicans in New York in their political campaigns. And democratic policy holders subscrib ing, indirectly, to help elect republicans is too much of a joke upon our demo cratic brethren to allow it to pass with out having a snap shot at them. :* * * The ex-editor Irom Woods has turned pea nut man. Is that the destiny of a newspaperman, Frank ? How hath the mighty fallen. Well ! well ! well ! Will porneone, please, intercede to prevent us from becoming a pea nut “roaster,” for there's no glory in that after being a newspaper “roaster.” Well, here’s sue cess to the democratic pea nut “roaster ” M * * Business was good in Tillamook City this summer and continues good this fall. Had the saloons been running and thousands of dollnrs taken out of the channels of trade by that means, it would have been otherwise. Every business man will see the logic of this and will admit that it is so if they are not pre judiced. It amounts to this, a large pro portion of the business that was pre viously done by the saloons the business men are now doing. * » * So the Northern Pacific railroad intends building down the north bank of the Columbia river. It is to be hoped that the survey the Northern Pacific made irom Scappoose to Tillamook Citv some three or four years ago will be included in the scheme, for it the Northern Pacific is going to enter the enemy’s (Southern Pacific’s) territory, then Tillamook is a county that will prove an exceedingly valuable feeder to the road on the north bank of the Columbia river, for it could h indican immense lumber business from this county. * * W The Tillamook Headlight states that he Portland, Nehalem ¿v Tillamook railroad is not in good financial stand, ing. no one being willing to cash its checks. The name of the Headlight should l»e changed to the “Tillamook Knocker.”—Astoria Herald. Evidently the Herald is so thick head, ed and ignorant that it does not know the difference between items of general news and a knocker. And as it is only waste of time to try and enlighten the Herald man we will let it go at that, for b sides the checks being dis honored for want of money, work is also stopped oil the much talked of and long predicted road, because Win.

This fort was the barrier against the Indian raids that marked the las' at tempts of the redskins to frighten the people of the state.
