AS OTHERS SEE US
view while in Tillamook City Mon­
day afternoon. On the main street
of the town in front of Billy Steph­
ens’ saloon two young men en­
gaged in a fight and in a few mo­
ments those who were in the saloon
came out and with others stir
lounded the combatants, about
fifty in number. Out of the fifty
bystanders onlv one person made
an attempt to stop the affair and
he was promptly withheld by
others. From where the writer
stood across the street he could see
a man in the doorway of the saloon
who evidently was a bartenderfrom
the fact that he was in shirt sleeves
and wore an apron, and thi9 per­
son would occasionally let his foot
drive out to force the fighters from
the doorway of the saloon. These
young men may have had a reason
to fight, that is not the point we
wish to bring out, but it is this,
what do you think of the fifty’ cit­
izens in a town no larger than
Tillamook so irrespective of com­
mon decency as to stand idly by
and let an affair of this kind dis­
grace the fair name of any town.
Do you think when strangers see
such affairs occur on the principal
street they will want to bring their
families to help swell the popu­
lation ? We think not. We heard
a farmer remark to the proprietor
of one of the large stores just after
the fight that such actions were
the greatest set back Tillamook
has. Will this farmer when he re­
tires from ranch life build his home
in this city of scrapping element
or will he look elsewhere for a city
to build his home and take his
family? He will look elsewhere,
you may rest assured. If you, the
reader of this article, are interested
in the welfare of the county seat
town, do you imagine that such
affairs encourage the people living
in the county to come to Tillamook
to trade or does it act exactly to
the opposite? Do you think after
a respected rancher witnesses an
affair of this kind he would like to
have his wife or daughter come
alone to Tillamook to trade? No,
sir, if he cannot spare the time to
go with them, he will urge them to
remain at home until he can ac­
company them as a protector.
Tillamook City is at this time at
the turning point. It will either
be made or unmade and it is up to
the better element of the city to
take a hand in affairs and see to it
that drunken men be kept off the
street and
disorderly conduct
stopped.
The citizens of Tillamook should
look at this matter from a broader
standpoint than they do. Tilla­
mook is the county seat town, it is
the main town for all the county
and likewise all the citizens of the
county feel a deep interest in it and
when they see a disgraceful affair
occur as the above mentioned they
are chagrined and disgrace«! as
well.
