Get Busy !”
‘‘Wake up !” was the Head"
light’s slogan last week. Now
it is : "Get busy !” Yes, get
busy aud keep busy. This city
needs a good big shaking up
and a good jacking up, and the
way tp shuffle off the old, dead,
do-nothing policy is to get busy.
Practically nothing have been
done to improve this city for a
long time.
Why ? Because
we were all asleep with nothing
doing. But we cannot remain
asleep, for it is going to be a
survival of the fittest whether
this or some other city will be­
come the commercial hub of the
county. Tillamook City has a
pipe line cinch on that now. It
won't if it don’t rise to the
occasion and exercise a little
more push and enterprise in the
future than in the past. Y< u
may het your last dollar that
unless we show more public
spirit the city is going to drag
along, in a half dead and alive
fashion.
It probably needs
some energetic individual to
head this movement, and as all
the business men are too busy
to attend to this matter, we are
inclined to think that it will lx?
advisable to employ a booster in
the near future. Anyway, the
public bodies should get busy
and not allow public affairs to
drag along as they have been.
In a month or so trains will be
running to this city and people
will lx? coming herein scores to
look over the city and county.
A dead, do-nothing, lifeless city
won’t appeal to them to locate
or invest here like a city that is
full of push, enthusiasm and
civic pride, Our cramped har­
bor, our rotten side walks, our
crowded public school, our mud­
dy streets in winter, etc., won't
appeal to them either, for they
will say, and say correctly, that
the people haven’t been very
enterprising in improving the
city similar to other progressive
cities of the state.
Some of
our citizens should visit Salem,
Albany, Eugene, Medford and
other progressive towns anil
then they'would immediately
see how blamed slow we have
I h - cii in Tillamook City. Those
towns were considered dead a
few years ago, but since public
mid commercial Ixxlies, the citij

busy, they have not only won­
derfully improved the appear­
ance of the cities, but business
mid population have increased
and realty have more than dou­
bled itself. It will be the same
in Tillamixik City whenever all
these influences unite and get
busy. The city won’t and can’t
grow if there are not enough
progressive citizens to push it
to the front. It it certain that
the dead ’ens won't put new life
and energy into the city, so it is
up to tin- progressive citizens to
do so. To set the hall rolling,

It ib surprising to us that so
few automobile parties from
Portland and the Willamette
valley go to Nehalem from this
city, for no prettier scenery and
better roads can be found in the
north part of Tillamook county.
Probably it is for lack of pub­
licity that the Nehalem country
is so little known to automo-
bolista. But once it is known
there will he a constant stream
of autos through the county in
that direction, and when the
Necarney Mountain road is im­
proved, Tillamook county will
have the best and most scenic
route for automobiles. Since
the Portland Automobile Club
is looking for new routes and
new scenery, combined with
good roads, it appears to have
overlooked the delightful run
from this city to Nehalem. We
feel convinced that if the Club
will arrange a trip from Port­
land to Nehalem it will not only
afford a great enjoyment and
surprise to those who make the
trip, but it will be the means of
informing automobolists of one
of the most beautiful routes in
Oregon. _____________
Investigation by a large manu­
facturing company is being made
of what is claimed to be a perpet­
ual motion machine perfected by
Noel Hodges of Frankfort, Ky.
Mr. Hodges claims that the small
model which he has at hie home in
Holmes street has been running for
eight months, without any means
of propulsion outside of the power
the machine itself generates. He
claims that the machine will pro­
duce power enough to run an elec-
trie fan or small dynamo, and he
says he has refused an offer of
$50,000 for his invention.
Hodges has been working on his
invention for years, quietly and
without anybody knowing what he
was doing, and he has just made
public the fact that he has solved
the problem of perpetual motion
which has driven so many men to
the insane asylums during the hun­
dreds of years that the inventors
have been struggling with the task.
Mr. Hodges says he will not sell
for $50,000, although he is poor, for
lie knows that his invention is
worth many times that amount.
He says the machine has been ex­
amined by expert* and they have
agreed with him that he hnd solved
the difficult problem of making a
machine that will run until it wears
out without the use of springe, com­
pressed air or any other motive
power.
The invention is a wheel with
steel balls at the end of
><ls on
one aide of the wheel, the weight of
these being enough, Mr. Hodges
says, to drive the wheel on around.
He says he welcomes investigation
of the invention and would tie glad
to have anybody show him any flaw
in it. It ia probable, that scientista
from several sections of the country­
will go to Frankfort to examine the
invention and see if it is wlint it
ia claimed to be.
So the Tillamook Commercial
Club is the first organization to
get busy in regard to city im­
provements. That is a good and
wise move.
Every member
who possibly can should make
a point to he present, for it is
only by united effort that any­
thing will lie accomplished to
boost and make this a progres­
sive city. It is a duty all business
