TO EDITOR OF TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. Dear Sir,—Inclosed is a letter which Speaks for itself and we would be glad if you would give it publication. Yours very truly, J. II. W hyte , with no hitch ; but even in the event that something untoward should arise so that Mr. Evans' plans go astray, it should not be forgotten that the Cham ber of Commerce still holds an absolut elv reliable offer to take half of the bonds of the company the moment they are put on the market. “Tillamook will never have a better chance to aid in the opening of a rail way than right now,” said one of the men back ol the enterprise yesterday. ‘Our line will go through. All that we ask of Tillamook is that the business men there raise money enough lor the preliminary surveys between cannon Beach and Tillamook, as we have done for the work from this city to Cannon Bench. They can procure the rights ol way better than we can. Then, the mo ment that all the preliminary work is done, two propositions will be made to the Tillamook men by Mr. Evans. First, that he will pay them injcasli for every dollar thev have laid out, or will give them the value in stock in the new road Mr. Evans said last evening that such is the plan that will lie proposed to Ibe fillnmook men. "Only.’’ he said, "I would prefer that they accept cash in stead of stock in the new company.’’ rhe real desire is to interest the men of that country to the end that the surveys may be made and the rights of way se cured with the least resistance ¡possible. Naturally, local meu can aid best in that work. Mr. Evans, promoter of the new line, said yesterday that the survey force is now within six or seven miles of Sea I side. They will be there some time next week. It has been decided that the line will run through the cemetery along the section line, running between the Pot ter's field aud the main part of the burial ground. "We will run a loop northward from there, also," said Mr. Evans, "so as to tap all of the rich country that lies to the north, The loop will go north to Flayel. and will also touch on the grounds of the military reservation. On this loop will be operated two or three loop cars, to connect with the cars of the main line. Astoria, Or., July 25th, 1908. The Hon. Mayor, Tillamook, Ore. Dear Sir.—We wish to call your at tention to the enclosed article from the Morning Astorian. We will soon have completed our survey from Astoria to Hetside, and when this survey u finished it is our intention to continue on to Canon Beach. From that point to Till amook we will ask your people to co operate with ub in getting the survey and right-of-way. We have raised $10,000 of money here to complete our end of the survey and "right-of-way and we shall presently ask your people to raise a likesuin to make the survey and right of-way to Tillamook.

W hyte . opinion ol a sanguine Bryan boomer. i From the Asturian. 1 hat the city of Tillamook does not seem to display the interest that it should in the projected Astoria, Seaside «■ Tillamook Electric Railway Company lias recently been the source of consider nlile comment among some of the lead ing business men of this city. Out the reason for this fact may not be difficult of ascertainment, it is pointed out, by others. "For years Tillamook has thought and dreamed of little but railroads,’* said one Aatorian yesterday who is thoroughly familiar with conditions in the couuty south of Clatsop, "and they have been fooled so often that naturally enough it is hard lor them to havelaith in a new railway project. That is prob ably the reason why so little attention is being paid to the presenlplan." Never theless the boniness men of Astoria who are tiehind the projected electric line are going to make an etMrt to Interest the Tillamook men. With that end in view it is probable that some ol the local men w ill make a trip to Tillamook aooti, and put the matter before business men there. It will be pointed out that Astoria has raised $10,0110 which is being used for the preliminary work, and that if the present plans are carried out in the manner that is now promised, the work of actual construction of the line to Sea side will bo commenced within a couple of months. Practically every man interested io the line is willing to stake his money us well as Ins business judgment on the success ol the line. That It will he built within a reasonably short time is simply takrn as an assured fact. All the money required to complete nil of the prelimi nary work l>etween this city and Cannon Beach has already been raised, and is being ex pen, led in the surveys anjJ other like work. Of course the real cruz ol the whole enterprise is to finance it. The promoter of the {project. Mr. Evans, states that he stands prepared to secure all the money required. Those who are in bis confidence have ample reason to belle re that bis plans will carry through WHEN FOOD WAS SCARCE. Prices That Ruled In Paris During ths 8iegc of 1870. The following Interesting statement of the prices that were paid for food during *be Blege of 1870 Is taken ver bally out of the Journal of a French cfllcer stationed In Paris at the time. “Toward the middle of October we had to make up our mind to sacrifice the animals of the zoological garden The elephants and many other beasts were bought by M. Debos. tbe owner of tbe English meat shop In Av Frtendland. The meat of tbe elephants was sold from $10 to $12 a kilogram (two pounds), tbe trunk commandins the highest price. $16 a kilogram. Tbe trunk and feet were both declared de licious by all gormands. In tbe same shop a pair of young wolves were sold for $2.50 per pound. Tbe meat was soft and without taste.

The unfortunate ones endured without a murmur these hardships. Women throughout the time of the siege were setting an example of cour age and self abnegation not always fol lowed by men. • "It was a sad and touching spectacle, these long files of women, nearly all dressed In black, grouped before th- doors of the dealers, watched by the national guard, with whom they at first were laughing and chatting, till the sufferings from the cold bad sllen-ed the laugh and sometimes brought forth the tears. “But In spite of all precautions thr stores one by one were exhausted, the provisions, put In too late before till siege, were used up. and. while the ba hies, deprived of milk, died in great numbers or, fed on sweet wine and bread, pined slowly away, the big peo- pie tried to find new resources to pro long their lives.” Generous Mrs. Crewe.
