"Make Good” Your Promises.
Will the gentlemen, and now the city
officials, who posted the citv about this
time last year with lilis saying they were
going to enforce the law, kindly inform
the people of Tillamook City how much
they have added to the city’s treasury by
way of fines in their heroic effort in hav
ing the laws enforced ? Speak up, gentle
men, for we now call upon you to “make
good” your promises of a year ago, and
to show whether it was made in good
faith ortocatch votes. Please tell us how
much fines have been added to the city’s
treasury, for that will prove whether
political promises can be relied upon. It
is too bad on our part to bring this poli-
tical skeleton out into the sunlight and
hold it up to full view again, but we like
to cause a bit of fun along these lines
once in a while. We predict that the fines
amount to about this up to the present
time, $000.

NEW ARRIVALS,
Just form Factory.
It is time for Tillamook City to get
down to business in the matter of run
ning its municipal affairs. It can make
a new start—if it wants to—right now.
We have no aspirants for city offices to
boost, and it is only in the interest of the
city and for better city government that
we pen this article. Like most of the
cities of the North west, men and factions
have controlled citv politics, and by the
violation of law and “graft,” individuals
have become rich and arrogant in doing
so, and we don’t have to go outside of
Tillamook City to prove this. The saloon
faction has practically controlled the city
for several years, and will continue to do
