Pin your faith to the Nehalem country and don’t be afraid to invest your money in its devel opment. It is unfortunate that the road work is shut down, for it will mean many bad places in roads next winter where they have been graded and left without gravel. It will surprise many persons to know that in a few years the Nehalem country will tie pro ducing as much milk us is now produced in the neighborhood of Tillamook City. A cottage is being built on Nehalem spit. If the snap shot man undertook such a thing he would be a tit subject for the insane asylum. Probably it won’t be there after the winter storms. It does not look as though the progressive citizens are in the majority in this city. One clause was to get rid of a lot of old junk ordinances, wluch are inopperative, yet the people voted to retain the old junk. Evidently there are a whole lot of persons who are opposed to improving conditions in this city. There is this satisfaction, however, they will die off some day. But in waiting for them to do so, the city can’t and won’t make much progress. When such men at Nehalem as C. H. Wheeler, Henry Tohl and others, who are large tax payers, want the County Court to make the road levy 10 mills, it is plain proof that that sec tion of the county is in favor of good roads. How does the other two road districts stand for 10 mill road tax to improve their roads ? the One important thing voters failed to do on Tuesday, and that waste place the police powers in the hands of the mayor, who should be held re sponsible for the pence of the city. N<> matter flow desirous a mayor may be to see the city properly policed, he lias no authority whatever to remove a peace officer. However, the people still prefer to elect the city mnrshni in preference to the mayor making the appoint ment. The snap shot man is going to be a tiooster to give each of the three road districts $50,000 each year for the next few years lor road work, and all those who agree with us are invited into the booster's band wagon. Each district will need that amount of money andean spend it to good advantage. Some of the knockers may consider this going it some, but let them knock, the county needs more and better roads and this is the only way to get them. Some ingenious person nt Nehalem had a good joke on the editors, The sign on the automobile “Booster Editors” was made to rend ‘ Rooster Editors.” This was done by pining a piece of black cloth on the B and turning it into R, which was discovered just as the editors were being photo graphed. The snap shot man i- wondering if fie has to take <>tt his hat to the Lord Chief Justice or one of the many pretty ladies of Nehalem, for the neat manner in which the change was made makes u« suspicious that the hitter had something to do with it. We are publishing in this issue a summnry statement of the expenditures for machinery, ronda and bridges this year for the information of those who lire not well informed. And spurt from this it may tie well to mention Hint the indebted ne*» of the county hist spring was about $1'25,000 * Of that amount $46, out) win on the rood fund. The whole of the in debtedness WHS pH id off, which took a large proportion of the tax money collected last April, A little over $53,000 have been expended on roads this >ear, which makes the road fund ^The people of Tillamook will be glad to know that the suit asking for a receiver for the T. B. Potter Realty Co has been dismissed. It was simply another instance where a med dlesome person saw an oppor tunity to make trouble and force himself into a job. It was his own selfish ends which brought this about, as will be seen by an article in another page. We have every confidence that the company will make good if the purchasers of lots at Bayocean will exercise a little patience. How foolish it does look for the Oregonian’s railroad re porter to keep making mistate- ments. Every time that any thing is written about the United Railways building to Tillamook County, Bay City must be mentioned. This is the latest: Oft his return Mr. Gray made the trip across from Tillamook to Bay City and thence traveled along the coast to Seas de. President Gray did not visit Bay City. We all hope that the road will build to Baj’ City, but other parts of the county and bay will be favored. Nor will Bay City be a terminal of the United Railways, for the Hill system is not going to al- low Harriman lines to monopo lize twenty billion feet of tim ber in the Nehalem country when only a few more miles of road will put the United or the Seaside roads right into the heart of that immense body of timber. We do not know, but it looks more feasible that why Mr. Gray did not appear con cerned about Bay City, he was more concerned about the ex tension of one or the other of the lines into Nehalem. have mentioned this to give our readers some information, and most of them will agree with us that persons who plat out town site and seaside pro pertv should go down in their own jeans and not the taxpay ers’ jeans to improve the roads leading to and through them. Another point we want to say a word on. The whole length of . ... Garibaldi beach is v without ----------- - a wagon road, and as lots have been selling at big figures, the assessment on these seaside plats should be made high enough to give the court suffi cient money to build a road. TRIP TO TILLAMOOK PLEASES GRAY. COUNTY EXPENDITURES Showing Amounts Expended for Roads, Bridges and Machinery This Year.

E. E. Cross, bridge on Dolph Carl R. Gray, president of the Hill lines in Oregon, returned to Portland Friday from a three-day trip into the Tillamook country. “I made the journey," he said, “to familiarize myself with the country and conditions there, and I must say that I am lyighly pleased with what I found. The mountains are marvelously wooded, affording a supply of the finest of timber, suffi cient for many decades. The Tilla mook Valley itself is remarkably fertile, and offers unlimited oppor tunities for development in the fu ture.” From The Oregonian: Although he is unable to say defini tely when construction of the United Railways from Banks to Bay City and Tillamook will begin. President Gray, who had just returned from an inspec tion trip of Tillamook bay, is well pleas ed with the country that he saw and eager for an opportunity of authoriz ing actual operations. “I never saw finer timber anywhere,” said Mr. Gray yesterday in comment ing on the observations of his trip. “It is on both sides of our proposed road and we pass through miles and miles of it. “What astounded me was the wonder ful development in and around Tilla mook, in spite of the handicap of be The special city election on ing all these years without a railroad.
