The dairymen who receive the checks
with large amounts each month are not
taking any notice of the prattle of those
who are knocking the dairv industry ol
Tillamook county. 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.

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.

taking out fishing licensees:
••Owing to the fact that the intent nt

gain anything thereby, and th ‘t it is a
wast-o of time end money with out aid

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.”
