The dairymen know and for what reason the knocking is car ried on, and the co-operative creamery associations don’t intend to allow the bunco men to bunco them. Most every year for some years past, more or less of the dairymen have been buncoed out of their money, and they are liable to be again at anv time it they entrust bunco men with their products. * * * Death claimed another of our business men on Sunday, and we want to say this of the late Mr. W. M Mills that he whs a good citizen and a conscientious, square dealing, busines» man. as well as a good liushawd and father. Tillamook City can ill afford to loose such men as Mr Mills, for lie belonged to a class of citizens who stood for morality, decency, law and order in the city and county and lent a helping handin anything that was of benefit to the communitv. His death is as ource of profound regret by the business men of the city and all who knew him, and especially so, as he leaves a widow aud a young family to mourn the loss of a good husband and father. Hete we have another instance of the head of the family being stricken down with death at a time when he could be least spared and when his care and pro- tion of the wife and children were most needed. The bereaved family and rela- tiv<s have the sympathy of the entire community» and the business men of this city deeplv regret the death of their follow townsman, for Mr. Mills was held in high esteem by all who knew him. M * « The proposition to have a practical engineer and experienced road builder at the head of the road work in Tillamook county appears to have gained friends the pftbt few weeks, and although it was first advocated by the Headlight, we are glad to known that a number of leading business men and citizens have made up their minds that what we have suggested is the proper course. What we suggested was this : Th« county court should ap point a practical engineer and experienc ed road builder to have charge of the road work, whose duties, briefly stated, should be as follows : During the win ter months the engineer should go over the roads of the county and plan out the necessary road improvements in each distiict and estimating the cost of the same for the information of the county court. Likewise examine all bridges anu survey and plan out all new roads This would enable the county court to act in telligently, not only in making the tax levy, but in apportioning the road tax to each district and in having the plans and s|iecifications before them,something which is sadly lacking now, especially uh to cost of road improvements. In the spring ol the year, or as early as possible, the engineer should organize a road crew of men suited to that kind of work, and al the head of the crew, the engineer should go into every district and superintend the work authorized by the court, or until each district's money was extended. Work in winter should be confined to patching and filling ruts and in getting out crushed ruck. Where it was thought best to let out work by contract, either road or bridge, the court would have the tngiueer'sestimate Itlore it, which would be a safe guard against paying too much for contract w*ork. A* it is now under contracts let, the court is totally in the dark as to whether the lowest bidder is the first, or w hether the work could lie done at a lower cost bv day labor These are a lew of the ideas we have advanced in favor of a practical engineer *nd experienced road builder, and we may add Io this that more road money have been wasted constructing roads and then changing and recon structing them several times after than would have paid the salary of an engi neer several times. The counts i* attending from $60,000 to $90,000 an- nuallj upon roads and bridges, yet it is without .inexperienced, practical person at the bead of it or to advise the court as to how the road fund can be best and economically expended. But we want to add one thing more If it is decided to engage an engineer thix fall to prepare for next year's road work, then we arc emphniicAlIv of the <>|»ii»ion that only an experience, practical engineer will fill the bill, while an inexperienced, cheap kind of a man. with only theoretical know ledge, would liable to be a failure. Tillamook Jottings, R O. Stevenson, State Game Warden. Forest Grove. Oregon, has sen. the fol lowing letter to Connty Cleik J. C. Holden in regard to boys and women taking out fishing licensees: ••Owing to the fact that the intent nt the law was not to require bnvs under the age oi 15 years and women to have a license, and that the state does not gain anything thereby, and th ‘t it is a wast-o of time end money with out aid ing (he protection of fish in anv w ay, 1 have instructed my deputies not to challange or molest the above named when fishing, and I believe it will save you time and troubled you explain* this to them when they come lor a license while it is my opinion that if thev insist, that you will hove tn grant the license, still if you explain matters I believe that vou will save vourself a great deal of time and expense.” F. M. Schoemaker, who came in from P rtland on Sunday with B. M. Lom bard in his auto, was found in his room at the Allen House about eleven o’clock on Tuesday night in a state of convul sion and vomiting and Dr. Boals was sent for, but grew gradually worse am? died at three o’clock the next morning He had been fishing with Rollie W. Wat son ami A. J. Stephens at Nehalem, and returned to the citv in the evening. He came over lor the benefit of his health, as he had been having trouble with his stomach. Kchoemaker was 34 years of age and died on his birthday. He was a single man and resided with a sister in Portland, where his remains will be sent on the steamer Sue H. Elmore. Deceased was in Tillamook some years ago and was interested in one of the railroad proposi tions that were placed before the people. On Thursday afternoon Walter Bowles met with a serious accident in the South part of the county, which proved fatal <m Sunday, We was slashing and felling trees with the help of a hired man on his father's place, when a tree kicked back towards him, and in endeavoring to get out of the way he stumbled, and before he could regain his feet the butt of the tree caught his leg and badlv smashed it. holding him tight to the ground until the tree was sawed in two before he could be taken up and carried to his home. Dr. Brown was sent for, also Dr. Smith, who found it necessary to amputate the leg. The young man lingered until Sun day in his weak condition, when he suc cumbed to the effects of the injuries. He was 25 years of age and a son of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. (Bowles, of Cloverdale, and he was a young man who was much respected, and his untimely death caused considerable sorrow to his parents and young friends. Towing the barge Nehalem, which was loaded with 150,000 feet of lumber, the steamer George R. Vosburg, Captain Rorvik, arrived from Tillamook and Ne halem last night alter just one week’s absence. The skipper savs he spent 20 hours coming up the river, the current being stronger than he had ever seen it. He states that the forest fire bnck of Stella appears to he spreading over a big stretch of country. The smoke from it was*so dense that it was difficult to make much progress. On the return trip the Vosherg will tow the same barge loaded with railroad material. She is moored at the O. R & N. Albina dock. On the barge will be two rail road passenger coaches, which will he used at Tillamook as a feature in the Fourth of Julvcelehration at that point. The new railway has been completed out of there for a distance of 25 or 30 miles, and these coaches will be run over the track —Telegram. july i . 1__ _ BIG BUTTER FAT CHECKS.
