TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, SEPTEMBER 2. 1909. I CIRCUIT COURT ► [ < Editorial Soap Shots. That waa a right nnd proper protest * to Captain . ... . | Senator — Bourne made Mcln doc’s report. ! 1 t i 1 i I I 4 1 4 * « * Most visitors who came tn the county this summer were highly pleased with Tillamook, especially Tillamook City, and thev predict a great futute for this section of Oregon ya hcnever the railroad is finished. * * At this Beason of the year there in more danger of fire sweeping through the timber, through the country, and through the citv than any other time ol the year, therefore the greatest precau­ tions nhuul«J be taken to prevent the fire fiend from getting utarted. i I a * ♦ i The Barnard condemnation suit tried thia week was another cate where a client, instead of receiving good advice from his attornev, obtained exceedingly poor advice. There are too many at tor neys who drag their clients into court But then, probably, that is the only wav that they can "aoak” theta clients ♦ W « Bv wav of retaliation from the editor* w uldh'l it be u 'genth manlv. iM'charit able and unchristian ol them to make h public anuouiu'ement that the “Sktletoii head evangelist had left the city ” One ha8ju9t as much right to uf-e that ex pression as the other. But it is wrong to do ao. * * * Tillamook County has purchased a rock crusher and will spend $10.000 for the betterment of the public highway.— Polk County Observer. How things do g“t mixed up. We would like to inform the Observer that Tillamook county hasspent over $10,000 on modern road equipment and in spend­ ing $90,000 a year building good roads and bridges. ♦ * * My! My! My! What a time the "knockers" ar« having—complaining and fau’t finding—and the members of the comity court appear to he coming in for a large share of the ' knocking,' since they could make no impression “knock ing” the co operative creamery associa­ tions and the Argo. What a blessing it would be if they could get into the boosting habit. * W * What a Tillamook Opera House ! misnomer. Wouldn't it be more appro­ priate to call it Tillamook City's Cow Barn, for there are many barns in the county which arc more comfortable and kept in better shape than what is com­ monly called the opera house ? The city is entitled to a modern, comfortable opera house, and it is safe to say that one will be built before long. * * * We would like to ask the mayor, city Council and city marshal a question. It is this : Can anything be done to pro­ hibit the habit of placing chairs on the sidewalk which occupied bv loungers who chew and »pit on the sidewalks, which n >t only cause obstructions on the public side walks, but the filth caused by ex­ pectorating is often disgusting, especial­ ly to ladies whose dresses mav come in contact with the—well—most people know what it is like. Why allow this to go on ? « If * Ho it seems that some of the attorneys any that they can knock out the Port of Tillamook eleclion, as they claim that it wan illegal. Well, what if someone was foolish enough to bring suit another petition could he circulated and another election could lie Immediately called. So what's the good ? As to whether the law ia constitutional, there is a case now pending in lhe supreme court from Coos County, the lower court having given a favotable decision as to the law being constitutional. • 0 » The Iwanty medicine doctor has gons «ml it seems that she "Switched” a good many dollars out of the fair sex. whom she worked to a nicety. Women who use dope, paint and powders on their faces soon lieco' le homely looking crea­ tures, any w«e. But what about these w ho consented to have their haircut oft —to adorn the heads of other women. Men are not the only suckers, for ths women—heaven bless them—bit awlully hard at the l-eautv dope unbeknowu to their husbands. But—hush ! St « « II there is anv criterion to go on in the verdicts rendered by the juries in the condernnatien suits, then the people ol Tillamook county have shown that lhe, are willing to give lhe railroad company a square deal This is right and proper, tor there ia no sense in tr) ing to hold up the railroad l**r rida’noualy large and exorbitant amounts loi light« of wav. The railway company should offer fair amounts for damages, which thev bare done, the verdicts of the juries proving this, in fact, in a number of cases the railroad company paid owners of pro­ perty more for rights of way than they wuuld have received had they gone into court. M * » The I' R. A N. Co. will aak for a fran. chise at the city council meeting on Mon. dav evening to lay a track along Waler street. The building of a »par from the d-pot to the water front in thia city waa • matter ahwh wai recommsnded by the railroad committee, „nd which the railroad com.ieny agreed to do as axw a» thia end or the main line was finished, but it waa stipulated that the con>|Minv should have a free right of way. The company la now ready to build the apur •nd ia wanting a franchise to use Water street for it» track. The rights of way from property owner» along the »lough have not been obtained, and »liould anv trouble arise in adjusting the damages. pondemna tion suits will be commenc'd at once. To sar nothing of the great advantage a spur would be to manufac turers along the water front, it wouhl also be an advantage to the busir.e** toeii to have their freight unloa'ie«! in the heart of the citv, thus saving the long haul from the depot. * M Burroughs Gets Three Years Only >350 for Barnard * Death has claimed Mrs. Gertrude M Hare, wile of Assessor A. M. Hare, who, [after many long years of suffering, fell a victim of that dtead disease—consump tion. Those who were acquainted with the deceased ladv had a tender love and sympathy for her in her long jrars ol suffering, which she bore with patience and great fortitude. She was a good woman, and a good wife and mother, and loving hearts and willing handr ministered toiler wants which, in a mea sure, helped to alleviate her suffering* A person who enjoys robust health can hardly imagine what it is to be stricken 1 down with consumption and having to guff* r for eighteen jears with that dread and incuiable disease. Yet it is hard io | I part with loved ones. The bereaved husband and relatives did their part weLJ through these^nany'yeais to cheer and comfort the sufferer, and the tender hearlful |sy mpathy for them is general all over the county. * » * Because the editor of the Herald fell ( into a mare's nest and made a fool ol ' himself over the Shelton warrant there is i no occasion for the editor of the Leaflet to make a jackass of himself also pub­ lishing tul-c and libelous matter about county officials. One fool editor in the county is enough, any way. It appears to us that (he Herald and Leaflet have laid themselves liable to both criminal and civil libel. No, Bro. Turner, lhe Headlight docs not go off half cocked or go on a wild goose chase on every litta imaginary report or street gossip. Ascer taining the facts, and knowing that the county court had only ordered a warrant drawn for work well performed and for value received, the editor is not in the habit of making a jackass of himself in writing sensational articles bristling with falsehood from top to bottom Had the Headlight done so, Bro. Turner, the county court would now have the horse laugh on three, instead of two, jackass editors. Hey, haw !

Bronaugh was in the city this week, presiding at the . adjourned session of the circuit court, fhe judge framed lhe present local op­ tion law. and not withstanding that the law was attacked many times by attor­ neys in the employ of the liquor interests with the purpose ol knocking it out. it has stood the test, for in everv case the Oregon Supreme Court sustained the law ns being constitutional. He is now pre­ siding on th* bench in rne of the first counties which went “dry’ under the local option law. Mrs. Bronaugh ac­ companied him to Tillamook and they returned to Portland this morning. ’■ The Argo had more freight offered on her last trip in than she could handle, I and had to leave some behind. The most remarkable incident, however, was that Mr. Elmore wanted the Argo to bring in 40 tons of cannery supplies, but being full up, shecould not bring it. The Argo was docked last week for the purpose of equippinfi her with an adjustable propeller, so that blades cun be tixed without having to place the vessel in the dry dock. The Sue H. Elmore is coming I in with a full cargo everv trip, carrying supplies lor the railroad and have not been able to hand all the freight, which is a good indication that thing* are mov­ ing at a much livelier gait that hereto­ fore. Commissioner G.AV Rodvfelt took up the matter of the false nnd libelous ivti- cles which have been published about the countv warrant issued to Carl Shelton with Countv Judge Goodspei^l and Com- mistiouer Alb*y on Tuesday, mid after explaining the facts they were satisfied that the tinducers who published such untruthful statements had simply fallen into a mare's nest It is easily explained and these are the facia : Supervisor lmlah told Orley Kellow. who was act­ ing in the capacity of deputy supervisor of district No, 6. when he made out Carl Shelton's time for work on the road to include the time for the team he hairy allowed $40 damages which was a formal procedure.

In the suits by the Pacific Railway & Navigation Co. against Clyde Miller, Samuel Elmore and Ella Himple, these were settled out of court, i H. at of re­ to President Greenough, of Missoule, Mont., will be in Portland in the near future and at that time the matter of pushing the work from both ends will be considered as soon as the survey from Portland to Tillamook is made. The company is now working several Hundred men and teams building to ward Forest Grove and will commence vork on a 3700 foot tunnel very soon. If Mr. Greenough's report is favorable, vork will be begun building out of Tillamook eastward toward Forest Grove this season. It is estimated bv the Harriman en­ gineers that the Pacific Railway &• Navigation company's steam line into Tillamook will lie running bv nest June. It will he impossible for the United Rail­ ways to be in operation that soon but it is said the survey which they are plan ning to build upon gives a much shorter route to Tillamook than that of the Harriman line, and will Ire able to cover the beach resorts more thoroughly than the steam road will be able to do —For­ est Grove Times.

More Lies Nailed [TO TUB IDITOR TILLAMOOK HKADUlJBT I D bak Sm,—A s the editor of the Herald has fell called upon to place myself , unenviable light lief -re the peopu ** regards my hiring and paying ,.ff ** for county road wort in District No « and also states in Ina last issue time j, up to me to explain, I t>eg a little f your space to inform Inin <,f t|ie t conditions which governed the inattw that liaB given him so uiueli e..nCer' and which he could have sacenai,,Ji lor hiuiself if lie had continued |7 search as zealously as he had 80 1" done. “r In the first place, I put lhe bill f„r . l , work which my team did in «¡.i, ,2 bill of Carl Shelton, aa Supervisor I,„iah t-.ld me not to put the bill for my team's work m my own name, but to put th» bill for the team's >«>,1, . that of some inan working for IIIH r put the bill for my team's work ¡n .* that of Carl Shelton Imt could just a» well have put it in with sooie other mans bill so far hs making any differ- cnee in the matter was concerned Carl Shelton told me to get bis counts War rant, and I paid him in ca,h the portion of the bill due him for his work which was $22.50. He thought there'was |5 more due him, but that was due Io Ine understanding that he got in a full dav whether he went to work at 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock, but, as I only all « the me. (ol the number or Imurs they pul in Ins time was somewhat les» than |le |laj expected. I sent for Ins county war. runt and Imd it cashed, as I hud already paid linn his snare of the w arrant. J So far as I am able to learn it has been customary for people to have some- one get their warrant and cash it for them If ths editor of the Herald ao.» not think HO, I believe, if he w ill just continue his zealous search he will lie- come convinced that such is the case Tliis is due in a measure to the incon­ venience that would be caused ifeiery. one had to go to lhe county seat and get their warrants It is also a fact that even if the county warrants were mailed to the owners they would meet with great difficulty in getting them cashed. So, to overcome tins inconvenience, it is a cominon occurrence for one party to tell another to get their county warrant and gel n cashed. This being the case, it could hardly la* exacted that I would ilnnk I was doing a wrong in getting Carl Shelton's warrant and giving lion the cash due him out of it after deduct­ ing the amount due for the team. 1 am not ao expert accountant nor am I an expert judge aa to how the affair» of lhe county should be run. but it s-emi 10 me lliat when the Herald editor lake lhe liberty of placing me before the public as haring committed an set worthy the consideration of the grand jury, in fac« of the fact that that act it one that lias been in common prsctioe and sanctioned by the county official» who mav have had the matter to deal with, he is doing me a gross in justice. The edlior of the Herald miy tie ignorant of the common practices in tile conduct of county affairs, owing to Having cut liia zealous search so elicit. It may be that I hui ignorant »e to the proper manner in which to handle checks and county warrants. But it would seem to me that ignorance in my case is just as justifiable us in that of his. As to my being a Son in law . f 1 county official, I must ask what there le m tiist fact to make me ineligible to do county road work ? I have paol taxes in the county for 13 years ai d do not understand Hint la-cause I have a rela­ tive who is a county official my right» as a citizen can be taken from me. I might call the Herald editor's at­ tention to the paragraph in his article in which he says that I sent a letter asking that the warrants for Dave McKinney, Carl Shelton, Ward Sappington nnd myself be sent me. If 1 were doing anything that was not allowed by com­ mon practice and wished to do crooked work ic is quite probable that I would have sent for Carl Shelton’s warrsnt alone, not for all those who were work­ ing for me. The other parties for whom I obtained warrants have not seen fit to make any kick or objection to uij doing so. If the editor of the Herald wishes to be just and lair, a role winch he has pre­ tended to assume, he will acknowledge publicly in Ins paper that he has doue me a very great injustice. I am doing my road work in a straight forward manner and more »0 than that in which ha is conducting s pa|ier. judging by hi« article in which hs attempts to besmirch my character with out. seeking the whole truth. To corrrct another error made by th« editor of the Herald in which lie list seen fit to refer to and say that I am making a four mile change road to benefit my place, I beg to inform him that the change will only be a distance of one half mile of road and includes one of the worst hills on the road. It would seen to me that the editor« the Herald would in time learn that w genuine reforms can be made by fain tying the true condition of aff.iirs. Six years old, weight about 1300 lbs.
