Ore., under the act of March 3, 1879. ^illamooh Editorial Snap Shots Start good roads clubs in all sections of the county and help boost the good roads movement Still the process goes on of hauling mud gravel onto the business streets and hauling it off If any of the Fairview Gran gers had paid $5,000 in taxes and had no road out, the same as Bay ocean, they would have reason to howl. And we would not blame them any. The only combine that we are aware of between the Ports w.is when the Tillamook and Bay City Ports combined and agreed to bond to the limit for bar and harbor improvements. We are reliably informed that United Railways will come down the North fork of the Ne halem, and it is reported that the company is negotiating for property at Garibaldi for its bay terminal. in the county opposed to road work being stopped, and it is a right sentiment, notwithstand ing the efforts of those we want to place the county on a cash basis and close down work un til this is attained. Rather than see road work stopped there are those who would vote to bond the county for $1,(XIO,(XX) if it comes to a choice of the two ex tremes. This is what the agi tation is responsible for, and it is surprising how many persons are changing their ideas about bonding the county for road im provements. If the Fairview Grangers hold a meeting at Bay City, we want to suggest a subject, viz , ‘Bay City Port having entered into a dicker with the Port of Tilla mook to go the limit in bonding the Ports for bar improvements, what was the real cause of Bay City hobnobbling with and were received in open arms by those who are opposed to bonding ?” We certainly think that Bay City is in the wrong pew. part of the bay is a benefit to other parts. Bay City cannot expect to hog the whole bay or dictate and control the - ---------- ’♦•’1 county for the benefit of a land com pany. Then there are those who own valuable farms and who have good roads them- selves butting in anil wanting i to deprive other sections of good roads. Yet another set of men with an axe to grind are those who have been superceded supervising road work by better men, consequently they start in and knock. With so many personal and selfish motives at i the bottom of the present agita tion, it shows distinctly that it | is a tussel tietween justice vs. injustice, right vs. selfishnesss, i and progress vs. rule or ruin. *8 WE DISTRIBUTE THE HIGH CLASS PRODUCT OF THE S.
