Watson has taken the county court over the county in bis auto to inspect the roads, and we hope it will convince them that an experienced engineer is needed at the head of the road work. Those who have public or private money intrusted to them should avoid the betting and gambling habit. Many men who have ac quired the habit have failed by the wayside and many more have loet money by placing confidence in those who bet and gamble. What a squabble and mix up to be sure over the failure of the Mi mi Lumber Co. to remove t e imber ac cooling to its contract lioiu the si- derson place. When the Jast chap ter a isingoutot that case ia recon - ed it will be known as another case of uncalled for litigation. But the lawyers have to make a living. w—-- •---- It would be a good thing for the business men of Astoria to visit this county. Tillamook county last year manufactured and disposed of $550,000 worth of cheese, and as Clat sop county is equally well adapted to dairying, this is an industry the business men of Astoria could learn much about and then go home and help boost that industry in their own county.__________ It is right and proper that prison ers serving time in the county jail should lie put to work on the county roads, for there is no sense in keep ing several able-bodied men in idle ness. There is a whole raft of boot leggers who should be included in the chain gang who are too lazy to do a honest day's labor for a liveli hood. Get busy, Mr. Sheriff, and put them to work. Some month» ago the matter of drawing up a new city charter and extending the city limita to take in the railroad depot was freely dis cussed, but, somehow, the bottom appears to have dropped out of the whole affair and there is nothing doing. That being the case, when the newly formed Tillamook Com mercial Club is ready for businest* it wouldn't t>e out of place for that body to take action. town” and It seems that “ 'upper i “lower town” at Nehalem will no long be at outs, for it looks aS if the newly platted town of Wheeler will become the metropolis o*the north part of the county. We hope to see u good sized city with several thousand inhabitants, for that pari of the county is emerging from its long isolation and rapidly com ing to the front. Bully for the Ne halem country and bully for those who have turned in with a determi nation to up-build und develop it. The building of the electric road into Tillumook County will do won ders in bringing in people and in deve'.iping the county. We have waited patiently for many years to see one phase of the transportation problem solved. The next order of business will la- the improvement of Hoquarton Slough, the channel in the bay anil a jetty for Tillamook bar. We have often prophesied that Tillamook would lie a second Grays harbor for lumbering, and the rapid manner in which this is coming about is very gratifying. As the Port of Nehalem had the a-rve and grillo tack ethe improve ment of Nehalem liar, surely the I* r of Tiiian ookought not tobe so slow in having ■ little nerve and grit in taking up the improvement of the water front und the slough. As we put this into type the Sne H. Elmore is stuck fast at the mouth of the slough, interfering with the commerce of the port as well us giving it a bad reputation. It may l>e. however, that some steps are being taken to bring about this long delayed and much needed improve ment. The Pacific City Lookout, edited by H. S. Turner, is the name of a new county pa|>er published st Pa cific City, issued to boost and boom that seaside resort. We hope, how- ever, that it will not prove a boom erang to that place, for an editor who |>ersiatently pushes hie anar chistic socialistic nostrums to the front, pulling down and never build ing up. isn't likely to make a good booster for Tillamook County’s fa- mona seaside resorts. Cut it out, Bro. Turner, snd turn in and l-e a real live booster and boomer for Pacific City.__________ It matters little or nothing to us as to who ia responsible for the hy drant being placed in the center of ’be side walk near the school house What sre want to see is the hvdrant hoed up to the sidewalk or the side walk lined up to the hydrant. That is ah that ie necessary to ovetcome the difficulty. There appears to be S «me differente of omnmsaa We think we remember at one time that there was rejoicing at the city on the bay when the Lytle road contemplated building down Wil- sen river and making Bay City the terminus. But it didn't, though. No railroad building into Tillamook can afford to close its eyes to the splendid locations for factories and ■aw mills on Hoquarton Slough and Tillamook, Trask and Wilson rivers, and out of the reach of the rough weather at times on the Tillamook bay in the winter. We have always expected to see the bulk of the tim ber manufactured around Tillamook City, and in a few years the places we have mentioned will become lx e- hive of the lumber industry because t ie locations are ideal for that pur- p >se, and for that reason the Hill p.-ople are not going to overlook these facts. __________ It is plain to see that it is going to tie hard work to get together and pull together for the beet interest of Tillamook City when those who con trol the Herald are endeavoring to keep up the factional strife. Anyone can see that the renewed attack on the snap shot man and the post office is for political reasons. It matters little or nothing to us, for we have been the target of the “knockers” and the politicians for so many years that we have become accus- turned to it. Anyway, if Bro. Trotn- bley is content to be the tool in the hands of those who want to keep up the factional strife in this city, well and good, keep on “knocking,” "knocking,” "knocking,” and help undo what the Commercial Club is endeavoring to do to bring about harmony and united effort for the up-building of the city and county. Yet it is well to Btate that the “honking machine,” with very little discretion and less brains, has been the cause of a good deal of strife, political and otherwise. “Honk!” "Honk I" "Honk I” Tillamook City should extend the glad hand to the Hill road, with the same welcome spirit that it extend ed to the P. R. A N. Co. We men tion thia because it is reported that obstacles will be placed in the way of the electric road. Tillamook County has enough undeveloped resources to become important feed ers for both the Harriman and Hill railroad systems and a big shipping trade as well, and forthat reason all should rejoice because the county is to be grid-ironed with an electric as well as a steam road, and we feel sure that the newly formed Tilla mook Commercial Club will give a helping and welcome hand to the Hill road. It has already shown a lively interest in this matter by in viting Mr. I.. W. Hill to visit Tilla mook. All doubt as to the road being built is removed, for it seems to be the general impression that as soon as the surveys are complete the work will be rushed to comple tion. ' ‘City of Destiny’, once despised and rediculed is coming into her own.—Bay City News. Rah ! Rah! Rah ! For Bay City ! But Tillamook City is thankful for the spur that Bro. Miller has given it Yet for all that Tillamook City is just as liable, and more so, to be made the terminus of the electric road as Bay City. Beaver Grange has passed resolu tions opposed to the Republican or any other party holding conventions or assemblies. That being the case it is now perfectly proper for the political parties in this county to pass resolutions in opoosition to the Grange holding conventions. It is a poor rule that won’t work both ways. At the last county election the socialists and the prohibitionists held conventions and the democrats held a caucus and nominated their tickets, but now that the republicans propose to get together and hold a convention or assembly for the pur pose of discussing republican poli cies and selecting suitable candi dates to represent them, agreatroin- pus is made. The Grangers have no more right to dictate to the poli tical parties how they shall run their organizations any more than the political organizations would have to butt in and assume the roll of dictators and dictate to the Gran gers how they shall run their organ- zations. Fraternal orders, Granges, church, labor and other organiza tions all adhere to the representative system of conducting their business and electing their officers, and we take the position that the republi can and other parties should enjoy the same privileges and enjoy the same liberties without having to submit to the dictation of “unscru pulous politicians” who may hap pen to control Grange meetings. Not only does the Beaver Grange assume the role of dictator, but it proposes to boycott any candidate receiving a nomination through the assembly (a representative gather ing), but it has no fault to find with the method adopted in this county two years ago when a few persons got together and nominated candi dates and made up “slates” for the socialist, prohibitionist and dem ocratic parties in this county. Talk about political humbug and “un- scrupulus politicians,” as well aa freak legislation, surely republicans have gone through a sad experience and met with so many defeats that they should be getting onto the racket kicked up by the autocrats who are undertaking to dictate to the republican party how and in what manner it shall conduct its organization and nominate its offi cers. We do not know whether there will be an assembly in this county, for that is a matter for the republi can county committee to decide, and whatever is there decision all true blue republicans should abide by. Wants Tillamook Trade. With the coming of additional transportation facilities to the county of Tillamook from Portland und other pointe to transport the products already produced there, Astoria will loose the trade she now enjoys if some effort ie not made by the businessmen to retain it It is not infrequent that the re mark is made by traveling men that Astoria ia overlooking a great op portunity for an increased trade in Tillamook county. The reason so much of the business of that sec- tion seeks other markets is the There are a great many thing that are more need in Tillamook City than a Fourth of July celebration this year. The money spent for a celebration could be expended to far better advantage in public and pri vate improvements.

D ear S ir ,—It has just occurred to me to write a few lineB in regard to fly fishing in Tillamook, for the bene fit of the new comers, the old Oregonians of course know as much about it as I do. I wish to speak in regard to the fishing in this month or rather, during the time that the salmon spawn ia hatching out. During this time if a man wants an outing with the chance of may be getting one or two trout or with an equal one of hooking a steel head, all well and good, but he must put out of his head all ideas of making a big catch as the trout are on the riffles devouring the fry as they hatch out and they have lost no flies. Before the trout get on the spawn ing grounds, say in March and April, some big catches may be made, especially at the mouths of the rivers, but after that the fishing is poor until the fry get big enough to take care of themselves. I have heard of big catches being made during the time I mention, but those fishermen can beat me all to fits. I have cast a fly in the streams of California and Oregon for the last 40 years. There are no two streams that fish exactly alike, and I am now speaking more es pecially of the Kilchis, which river I have fished for 30 years. Yours truly, J ack J ennings . Friday was a half holiday in Tillamook for the baseball season of 1910 was officially opened here with a game between the Tillamook “ Clam Diggers” and the Columbia Hardware Company team, of Port land, It was a fast and exciting game from start to finish and re sulted in a victory for Tillamook by the score of 5 to 3. ” Collie” Druhot, the little left- handed pitcher from Portland, officiated on the slab for Tillamook, and he not only pitched an elegant game for the home club, but he dis tinguished himself by rapping out a two-base hit, with the baees full, in the eighth inning, which virtu ally won the game for the “ Clan Diggers.” Jolly Things Along, Love a little, Laugh a little, Live a little, friend; Do a little bit of good—you’ll ¡A in the cndl Lift a little burden from little heart, And do a little more than what A think your little parti | Love a little, Laugh a little, sing a little song; You’ll feel a little better if rm J things along.
