TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, OCTOBER 20 Tills is a positive fact.

Ihe real pur pose. however, is to straighten, as well MS deepen, H< quarlon slough, so that any vessel which can cross Tillamook liar can reach Tillamook City. This can be done at a comparatively small out lay but it means a gieat deal to this city aiot the surrounding country whenever Tillamook City has a good wide water fiout ami a deep channel to the sea.

We deplore such unfortunate, un called lor behaviour, and. no doubt, a large number of citizens will agree wiih us that it is only another incident in the sillv. idiotic factional fights which have been goingonfor years, which, simmered down, amounts to this : A fight between the respectable, law abiding citizens and the lawless persons who are and have been allowed to violate the saloon, the gambling and the local option laws, It is about time that the citizens and the business men demand a more rigid en. forcement of the laws. » • a My I Wo have just read over that letter which Mayor .loll neon addressed to the City Council in regard to the en L rceoieni of the local option law, in w hit'll Im promised for himself ami the city attorney that they Would assist the District Attorney in prosecuting these cases, and having this law enforced We temarked at the Gme that it was a com mendable letter if the Mayor lived up to Ills promises. But, alas, when one reads Mayor |ohnson's message to the city council n few months ago amt now sees him defending bootleggers in the justice court, >ve want to say that we would like to see the mayor a little more con sistent ss a public official.

We understand that the dairymen are not going to he tooled, but ridicule the nnslrading and untruthful statement that thev ate loosing $50,000 a year by the present method of disposing ol thr cheese output ol this county. It IS plain to most every dairyman that less job bers. speculators and middlemen there are tietter it is for the producer. Quite a lew persons have speculated in cheese, some of whom were forced out of busi ness on account of it as well as some of the dairymen loosing their ntonev It is more likely to cteata a loss of $50.000 to the dairymen than to increase it that amount by makiju^uiy change under present conditions. G iiii advice to the dairymen is to let well enough alone and not to be fooled by misleading statements about loosing $50,000. Any big fool, who dorsn't know anything about it. can make ascritions to that effect, but cannot prove them by experience and figures. » e » We move that the business men get together and work together lor the pur* pose ol imikmg Tillamook Citv a live, wide awake progressive city. A busi ness men's club is now in nr ier and also necessary so as to bring business men together on one common plattorm and tn buiy all petty factinnal diffetences. Tillamook City is admirable situated and can be ma.le ns pretty a city as any city in Oregon, and will lie, whenever the business nen rise to the situation and make up their minds that they are going about it in a business manner. It mav take a little moral couiage to btmg the hardened lawbreakers and the hoodlum element under restraint, but it must lw done Other places have had to contend with tlie same class before thev «raid accomplish much. As this is a tAost op portune time to improve anJ straighten up the city's affairs, it is now up to the business men whether they will make this a common caste ami become ener getic boosters or are content to do noth iug and allow the hoodlums to ru i the town and break Into their stores at night and do other unscbtcl To the Voters of Tillamook City : At the election to be held next Tues lay, caitain amendment» are proposed to the charter of the Fort of Tillamook, fbexe amendment« provide for the levy of a tax of not exceeding one mill upon til the property within the Port, to 1» iieed fur the improvement of Hoquarton Slough and the harbor of Tillamook City, with the further provision that an additional mill may be levied upon a majority vote of the voters residing within the Port of Tillamook. The amendments further provide that the Port of Tillamook shall be governed by a board of commissioners, one to f* •■lected from each voting precinct and one at large. As at present constituted the commissioners are appointed hy the mayor and conlirmed by the Port of Tillamook. If the amendments to the charter are carried it is proposed to have a special election for the purpose of voting upon the question of taking in additional ter ritory so that the Port of Tillamook will include the whole of Hoquaiton |Pre cinct. Tillamook Precinct. Fairview Piecinct and South Prairie Precinct I’liis will take in a large body of timber, and a levy of one mill would then raise ibout three tlmusind five hundred to four thousand dollars in taxes. The dreilge of the United States Governnien: can be employed for about $4o0 00 per uonth, and in addition to the aniouni wl.ich the citizens here raise in this 'naiir.er. it is expected that the Govern- nent will contribute at least us much more. The United States engineers have sur- veyed a plan for the improyement cl Hoquarton Slough by cutting a straight channel from Tillamook City to the end of Stillwell Ditch, reduciug the distance about one mile and providing for s channel 150 feet in width, with a depth of eight feet of water at low tide, and providing for the widening of the har bor at Tillamook City to a width of two hundred feet. It is estimated that tins work can be dune, allowing for the wort at the rate at ten cents per yard, for about $60.000 00. Present work is being ■ ibne for about three cents per yard, that an all >wance of ten cents per yard would he ample to cover the outaid' limit of expense, and in all probahilit' the total expense would be leas than half of the amount above named. If this project is carried out vessels ol much larger capacity can come direct to Tillamook City and load freight. Also, there will be excellent facditiea I'm booming grounds for large saw mills in the tiends of the slough which will he cut i ff The project is one which means very much to the people of Tillamook City and the farmers in the adj'iining country, as It woul ’ mean cheap trans, portatluu and waler competition at all limes. A large number of the farmers in the territory which it ia wish'd to I ave s ided to the Port of TillamiMik are in favor of the plan, and the owners of limla-r have also exnressed themselves a- being favorable to it and w'llling to pay tlieir proportion of the tax, which will be a large part of the taxes which will be raised. Plats showing the proposed improve menu may lie seen at the office of Claude Thayer,Tillamook County Bank, Carl Haberiach, H. T. Botts and at the Government headquarters. We uige that the proposed amend menu be adopted and that each votet vote yea upon that quest ion on the bal lot. Respectfully submitted, C lauds T haykr . Sec. p'eaeut Commission, M. F L each . F. R.
