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

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

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who have been superceded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.

It used to be argued that there
was no use building a railroad
to Tillamook because there was
not enough business. It is now
frequently stated that there will
be nothing for the steamers to
do after the railroad is running.

taken. It will queer the pas
