TVÆAMOO* HEADLIGHT, DECEMBER F, 1910 Tillamook Jottings. James Christensen was in from lleinli* k thia week. He is one of t -oee from that part of the count« u ho is opposed to spending the ta money to recall < 'oiiiiiiissioner Alley. It seem* that when Christensen re fused to sign the petition he hud some words with Rudolph Zwiefel, the latter admiting that if it had been anyliody else but his owi countrymen who had been drowned he would not have circulated tin petition.

They wer« outspoken in regard to the petitioi to recall Commissioner Alley, tak ing the position that it wa* for per sonal reasons that the petition had been circulated. They did not think it right that a petition should be circulated in the south part of the county, where they knew nothing < f the real facts of the drowning, and not at Nehalem. They contend it is doing Mr. Alley a great injustice to circulate u petition with false accu sations, and if a vote ia taken they say that most every voter in the Nehalem country, with the excep tion of about a dozen peraons, will cast their ballet for Mr. Alley. A large crowd tinned out Friday and Saturday nights to witness the performance of "Nobody’s Fool" as given by the Dramatic Club. From the point of view in which the piny was written, it was a great success, no funnier play has been presented here. To say the members were good in their parts, would not be giving them full credit, for they were better than a number of play ers we see here who call themselves professionals. The play for Friday anil Saturday, Dec.¡Ill and 17, will be the great drama “Reaping the Hur- vi-l.” No better play has ever been offered in this city, mark the dates, Pec. Ill and 17. Go to F. S.

The city election (Hissed otf quietly on .Monday, with little or no excite ment, and the ticket nominated at tlie caucus was successful as far ,<s those who had qualified were con cerned. As the nomination ofC.\V. Talmage was unsatisfactory to u number of business men they suc ceeded in, running Rollie W. Wat- lon lormaypr. The convicted boot- leggers and gamblers and the pool room dives immediately turned in to defeat him, and with the aid of tlie "floaters,” succeeded in beat- tiim by the narrow margin of 2b votes. M. D. Reading, whose name did not appear on the ballot, was elected city marshal, beating \V. M. Powell. 'Those elected were : Mayor C. W. Talmage. 'Treasurer—F. A. Rhodes. Recorder—T. B. Handley. Marshul -M. D. Reading. Councilman : 1st ward C. F. Shortridge. 2nd ward—Ge.». P. Wilt. 3rd ward Alex. McNair. 4th ward—C. B. Vantresa. 5th ward—J. IL Hathaway. Water Commissioners : let ward—W. O. Chase. At large—F. D. Small. The Population of Tillamook County is Only 6,266. The /population and growth of Tillamook County is given in the government census, which is just published, as follows : In 1800 the county had a population of 95 ; in 1870, 403 ; in 1880, 970 ; in 1890, 2932 in 1900, 4471; in 1910, 0.2C0. mi.kiti. an increase of 1795 the past tei years. With the completion of the railroad next year, mid with most everything on the boom with new industries and new settlers coming into the county, the population will take a big jump. More Civic Pride Needed in Tillamook City. To create a little more civic pride we would suggest that each of the newly elected city dad* vie with each other in cleaning up, improv ing and keeping their own ward* in tirwt da** *hape, as well as raise u great big rumpus whenever there i* any drunkennes* or rowdyism ot objectionable tiling* in their home ward. Let’s see which is the most progressive city dad and the most l»rogre«*ive ward in cleaning ii| and improving the city, u* well a»- "cleaning out” the undesirable* who have l»een allowed to infest the city with their obiioxions presence. The citizens of each ward should iiloo interent themselves in the s m - provement of their own wards, for this i* the kind of thing which en liaiice* the value of property, II the city dud i* a drone and lia* not tlie progreasive, IwHisting spirit, then recall him and elect someone else who will get busy and make a strenuous effort for their own ward, bur instance, if the editor represent ed a ward, he'd tight like blazes to get most, if not all, of the new elec tric lights to be put in for his own ward.

After disposing of several matters pertaining to the club, it was decid ed to hold a new year's bull and the price of admission was fixed at $1, with the understanding that half of the proceeds be devoted to improv ing the Stillwell play grounds. JamesWalton was appointed a com unttee to make necessary arrange ments. Erwin Harrison pointed out the need of literary matter to send to those who were inquiring about Tillamook with a view of locating in the county. Tileboard coincided with his ideas and the President thought it would be a good idea if Fred C. Baker and George Willett would go ahead and prepare the matter. The question of holding a strictly county fair next year was brought up by Fred C. Baker, who pointed out that as a large number of home s.-ekers and visitois would came to the county next year it would be a good thing to make as tine exhibit of dairy and farm products, as well oe live stock, as could be secured in the county. The board, after dis cussing the mutter, came to the con clusion that it was a good idea to hold a fair in August, which will be referred to the members of the club at the next monthly meeting. The question of a suitable nnd char acteristic name for the fair was left to the pupils of the schools in the county, the Board ottering a prize >t $5 for the most appropriate name. These must be sent to Secretary Harrison in a sealed letter not later han the 1st January. Portland has its Rose Show, Hood River its Apple Show, Salem its Cherry Fair, Polk County its Angora Gout Show, etc., ind it is to find some such charac teristic name for the next county fair that the lioard is offering a prize, and a picture of the pupil who succeeds in winning it will appear in the Headlight. APPLYING FOR LICENSES Up to the City Dads to Refuse Saloon Licenses for Cause. Four saloon licenses have been applied for, those wanting to run saloons being W. J. Stephens, Ed. Hadlev, I.aughlin A Johnson and Patterson A Waynick, the latter con- tern plating opening a saloon in the Ramsey house. It is expected uiat Clyde Clements will also apply for a license. The present charter does not limit the number of saloons, for anyone putting up the necessary 5800 can obtain a license, provided the bond is accepted and the city officials does not raise any objec tions on account of previous con victions on the part of those who ipply for licenses. The charter which was defeated had an excellent provision to requhite saloons,which was a protection to those who wanted to run orderly places, but those who were figuring ffixin going into the sakain business fought and defeated it, but they realize their mistake now that so many want to get into the business. Under these circum stances there are those who seetn to i think there should lie no restriction as to number and let it la* a survival of the tittest. Whether several of the present councilmen will abide by their decision to refuse to grant licenses to those who have been con victed underthe gambling and loca$ option laws remains to be seen, snd should it be left to the new city council it will soon be known who of the city dads favors or opposes issuing of saloon licenses foresuse. Evidently, if it wss left to the Ore gon Home Rule Association to de cide. this liquor deslePs organiza tion would advised not to grant licenses to convicted l*»otleggera and gamblers, and those who voted and worked for the Home Rule law, if they were coi.aiatent, ahouM also lw op|io«ed to it. for the plea was and ia made that they want to re form eakMMM by culling out the l>ad saloon keepers and granting licen se* to those who comply with the law. This appears to us to be the spirit of the regulations laid down by the Oregon Home Rule Aasocia turn, which n|>|tears in another col uuin, and Tillamook City should sot lie the first city to ignore that organ iaation. Entertainment at Foley. A very social and enjoyable eve ning was spent in the Foley School House Friday evening, Dec. 2. A box social by the pupils of the school for tlie purpose of raising money for a Christmas tree, was given. The School House was very hand somely decorated with evergreens and school colors, purple and gold, the contrast giving it a very pretty and attractive appearance. The school houre was crowded with friends anil parents of the children, who were graciously received by their teacher, Miss Winefred Spen cer. The instrumental music fur nished by Mr. and Mrs. D. Bartrow was duly appreciated. The Foley Tattle Tale, a paper read by one of the officers of the «cliool, touched some of the bachelors just right, so that when the baskets were put up for sale fhey went otf like hot cakes, all bringing a good price. After the program and selling of the bas kets, the rest of the evening was apent in social games, guitar solos, etc. All seemed toeujoy the festivi ties of the evening, and the pupils all feel grateful to their indefatigable teacher, for the deep iuterest she took in getting up tlie program, which was as follows: “ Thanksgiving,” song, by the school. “ Au Opening Address,” Willie Tomlinson. RecitatfSn, “The Reason Why,’ Daisy Tomlinson. Instrumental duet, Mrs. and Mr. Bartrow. “ Corn Drill,” by eight children. Recitation, “Grumber Corner and Thanksgiving Street,” Edward Tomlinson.

Examination for November are fini*lied, the students have made their monthly move-up and we have again settled down to another month's work. There was a decided increase in the grade percent thia month, probably because of the system our principal has introduced into our school. We will say that we consider it the best and fairest method of arranging pupila that we have ever known. It seems that the "Emmies" have received a great inapiration to raise money for the Gilford Stillwell Park. We are glad they have started thia work and hope they may come with in sight of the prize, at least. At any rate it will lie encouraging to know that they have found some thing that they can do. Everyone should help them all they can Ba*ket Bull has taken the minds, at present of our athletically inclin ed students. But there ia one diffi culty which they have to contend with and that ia the lack of a place to play. We are in hopea that a mayor will lie elected who will take interest in the School Park, like Mr. Coatee has. which ha* certainly helped ua greatly, and possibly we will have a gymnasium on our own ground*, in which we can play. The subject for our first inter- acholuatic debate, which will be held in this city on the 23rd Decem ber, between the High Schools of Nehalem and Tillamook, will be “Resolved, that it is for the best interests of the United States to build and maintain a large Navy.“ We have aliout ten at present who are preparing for the tryout debate. The question will be debuted next Friday at the Ciceronian Society bjr Elbert Ginu and Jessie Reifen berg, affirmative, and Oscar Aschim and Lyle Smith negative. Though our debating strength has been weakened by the loos of three old stand bv's who graduated last year, still we are in hopes of at least, giving Nehalem a little practice. Thursday night two of our teams meat at the Commercial Club rooms to debate the question. “ Resolved, that harbor improvements are of more importaace to Tillamook than a Commercial Club,“ and to show the Imaineaa men of the town some ol the product of their schools. Those who will debate are Oscar Aschun and Elbert Ginn, affirms tire. Reuby Stam and Elaie Lamb, negative. lehn Waal., of H,« It Is not generally kn,.».
