Entered as second class mail mat ter July, 1888, at the post office at Tillamook, Ore., under the act of March 3, 1879. (Tbe ^illnmoob Ijeabligbt, Editorial Snap Shots All trains stop at Tillamook City—none go through. We think the city council did a wise thing when it ordered the marshal to have the city cleaned up.There is a whole raft of old dirty truck at the back of a number of buildings. T he railroad officials while in the city on Monday predicted that the P.R. & N. would bring 50,000 persons into Tillamook the coming Summer on a five hour schedule from Portland. This is a conservative estimate. Then the need of accommoda tions and a first class hotel will confront us as never before. We expect to hear some peo ple “knock” as soon as the city authorities commence to turn the dirty, filthy streets and de- lnpidated sidewalks into some thing that is modern, sanitary, durable and upto date. But we expect also, as soon as they see how these improvements en hance the value of property, that they will be amongst the first to shout for more improve ments. Cut out all personal or street sentiment and get together on a community of interest propo sition in the erection of a first- class, up-to-date hotel, a build ingthat will cover a block and with stores on either side. The city needs that kind of hotel to accommodate well-to-do and wealthy people who are willing t<> pay the price. Many of that class came to this city last year to stay and invest, but not find ing the comforts and conven iences here they Hud in other places pulled out the next day. With every business man own ing stock and nil boosting to make it a success there cannot beany doubt whatever but what it would I m * a good business stroke and financial success. So get together on a community of interest proposition and every body boost for a large, up-to- date hotel. A small hotel will not till the bill.

What we need is an usbestos cage to put over Congressmen as soon as they are to take the toga. Then, perhaps, we could have n rest from these ill- advised publicity seekers. The P. R. & N. applied to the i city council for a franchise to lay three railroad tracks on Front street, which is now be fore that body to decide. It is, no doubt, fresh in the minds of many persons when the railroad people first came to Tillamook City to arrange for rights of way they insisted and demanded a large tract of land East of town for a depot, freight sheds and terminal grounds. This was There is a great deal of truth in procured for them and partly these remarks, but there are a paid for out of the money raised good many expections, for all by public subscription.
