Probably it would bare been better

For rattle brained ¡nonienae, tbe lat­
ent »lam at Representative A. G. Beal»
by the¡i“»pecÍHl interests” sheet, is the
rsnkest lot of nonsensical rot.

Whenever the electric lines are ready to
build into Tillamook, let the people of
this couoty give them the glad band and
make it pleasant and agreeable for them
to build.

Tillamook people still wonder why it
io that work on the railroad does not
start up. The old gag—expecting to
hear something in a week or ten days.*—
is about ployed out and something
new will have to be substituted.

With one steum road arid three elec
trie road projects and the Home Tele­
phone Company reaching out, surely it
cannot lie very long before Tillamook ia
hooked up with the outside world, with
a healthy competition in the passenger,
freight and telephone business.

Instead of Tillamooa county paving
«6,000 lees state tax by lodge Gallo­
way's decision in the Yamhill tax case,
this county will have to pay «6.000
more state tax, notwithstanding that
the “spreial interests” sheet of this city

Headlight lives in hope of seeing the
people of Tillamook City get together al
no distant date for the purpose of build­

to public improvements and business
enterprises as well as for the straighten

It is surprising how readily Tillamook
people trade with and lake up with
strangt rs in preference to reliable busi
ness men. At this season of the year
there is always an influx of that class
• n»o the county who take away business
which belongs legitimately to the home
merchants. That is not right, for the
reason that the home merchants are
heavy taxpayers.
Yet there is hardly
anv business iu this city but what louse
trade on account of the peddlers and the
strangers butting in every summer. It ia
safe to say as a general thing that those
wbo buy goods of peddlersand strangers
get ‘bit.*’ For instance, we know of
instances where some of our citizens have
paid from |25, $50 and $75 for specta­
cles which would have cost them from
$5 to f 10 had they gone to the local
ucculist. It is the same to some extent
with sewing machine, piano, buggy,
wagon and other peddlers, only that it
is more often that people are imposed
upon by shoddy and cheap jack articles.
