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.

IL Tohl and Fred Zaddach wan in
from Nehalem tliia week. 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,

'kThe City Election.
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.

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. The name with other im-

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.

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.
