There wasn't much flattery in W. C.
Hawley’s address the other evening, but
plenty of solid facts. Contrasting Gov.
Chamberlain’s speech recently, which
was made up of flattery, Mr. Hawley
didn't give the people a lot of democratic
taffy.
* « *
Don't forget it, anyway, when you go
into the ballot box next June, that as a
result of that famous contract with the
county judge and Handley & Thayer it
took $80 out of the $200 owing for
back taxes on a piece of land at Nehalem
called “Liverpool.” Or, in other words,
in this instance alone, $80 had to be paid
to the law firm for doing work which

The Bull Run pipe line, so it is report-
e 1, is showing signs of decay by pin holes
appearing in the pipe and the entire pipe
line will have to be duplicated within a
year or so. The system was laid aoout
13 years ago. The question naturally
come to one as to how many years it
will lie before the Tillamook City water

Howser and Beals, the former getting a
large and complimentary vote in Yam
hill while the latter polled a larger num
her of votes in his home county than any
of the other aspirants where there was a
contest. This shows that Beals is un

of Tillamook county, and this ought to
satisfy the republicans of Yamhill county
and insure their vote for him, for having
conceded the joint representative to this
county,they will vote forhim.Yamhillcan

from Tillamook when its comes to vot

The Portland Journal ought to make
its correspondents confine themselves to
the truth. A special from Tillamook says
among other things :
“County Judge W. W. Conder of this
county received at the polls almost the
entire vote of the Democracy and a large
number of the Republican votes. . . .
The influence that won Mr.Conder’s con
sent to stand for the office came chiefly
I from Yamhill county."
This is a concoction of democratic lies
that usuallyeminate from Tillamook and
the Journal is being imposed upon and
made to father what is absolutely false.
If the Journal will refer to the official re
turns it will find thatonly 10Democratic
votes and no Republican votes were cast
for Mr. Conder for joint representative.
And not one vote was cast for him in
Yamhill county. It must be that this in
fluence from Yamhill, where he did not
get one vote, must be awfully inviting.
The vote for joint representative on the
democratic ticket in Tillamook county
was as follows : A. Beals, 1 ; C» Tal
mage, 1 ; — Talmage, 2 ; Geo. Cohn, 1 ;
John J. Hawley, 1 ; VV. W. Conder, 10 ;

Men Have Flocked la troni All
Paris ot the World—Odd
Incidents.
For ten years, more or less, say from
1874 to 1884, and later than this in the
northern range, there was universal
prosperity and plenty of money; to be
a cowman meant teeing a small, but
powerful king with a princely, king
dom, the boundaries of which were set
by precedent and by the honor of cus
tom—as far as a man on horseback
could see, and by water—as firmly as if
corner-marked ami title-deeded, there
was no rent, and virtually no taxes to
pay. A man might own a hundred
thousand cattle, and not an acre of
land,though heclaimed "range rights"
to 50,000 acres, and enforced those
rights with blood and iron, writes Ray
Stannard Baker, in Century.
Apparently this was a new sort of
free life in which man had risen above
the old slow rules of thrift. It was a
simple business; turn the cattle to
grass, and when money was nswded,
round them up and sell them.
But the lucky dog sometimes had
difficulty in enjoying his bone in peace.
Lured by the stories of sudden riches
in the cattle country, other men, as
bold and hardy as the first, flocked in
from all parts of the world, and began
raising big aud little herds. The build
ing of the railroads across the conti
nent stimulated immigration; the
great Texas boom followed the com
pletion of the Texas Pacific railroad
in 1883. At first the early comers wel
comed the new rangers, sold them ca<8
tie at exorbitant prices, chuckled at
their innocence, allowed them to come
in on the ranges, and grew richer and
richer. There were times when Texas
steers, big and little, brought $25 each
on the range. But the tide swelled,
and the cattle continued to increase
enormously. Presently the first real
settlers, the “nesters” of Texas, who
wished to fence the land for farms,
appeared in numbers, and the early
comers, the original cowboys, began
to chafe. “Who’s elbowing me?” they
inquired, and there was prompt and
effective shooting, and the wholesale
cutting of the new fences.
Many good men lay down in the hot
sand, never to rise again. But that,
bad as it was. did not tell the whole
story1 of destruction. If cattle had
been killed instead of men, the trouble
might have been averted, but theherds
went on multiplying until they covered
all the range, giving it no rest winter
or summer. Each cowman scrambled
for all he could get; he argued that if
he did not take the grass his neighbor
would. And who cared a rap for the
future? Life was short and money
tangible. At first there had been
enough grass to support one steer to
every two acres of land; in halt a dozen
years a steer did well to make his liv
ing on five acres. After that the ratio
steadily widened. So great was the
struggle for new territory that whole
herds of cattle sometimes went 20
miles or more to water and then back
again, galloping every step, and work
ing hard between times to get enough
from the failing ranges to keep life
within their lean carcasses. And to
day there are many parts of the range
that will not support ten cattle to the
square mile, one steer to every 64 acres,
and it is a good range indeed that will
feed a steer to every 20 acres. There
are whole ranges in TexaB, New Mex-
ica and Arizona, once rich beyond be
lief, that are completely deserted and
given over to the desert.
