Editorial Snap Shots.
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.

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.
