Editorial Snap Shots. Plumbers are doing a land office business mending busted water pipes. ------o------ Of course, the Bull Moosers who flopped and faught the Republican Party at the last presidential election will want to dictate to the G. O. P. If Bull Moosers are registering as Republicans, it seems to us that it would be a wise thing for Republi cans to register as Republican stand patters. You had better hurry grooming yourself if you are running your own political machine in the coming race tor offices. Anyway, what’s the de ference between a political party ma chine and a personal machine. Political candidates don’t appear to want to ride the Oregon System hob by horse in the coming election. 1 he poor animal is already rode to death by political office seekers, so some new ism will have to be invented to fool the people. Even the weather is knocking the Democratic pledge of reducing the cost of living into smithereens. Fuel bills have taken a tremendous jump since the cold weather set in. 1 hat is not ail, dairymen have to feed their cattle more and it is going to cost more this winter. Say, Bro. I rombley when is the Democratic pledge to re duce the cost of living going to be consumated? Bootleggers have the impression that, if caught, they will have to soak it out in jail for 30 days, with a heavy fine on top of that. They evidently have the right impression, for public opinion is decidedly against bootleg ging and baatlcggers. An we are glad it is so, for bootleggers must be sternly and severely dealt with when ever they are caught, and we believe they deserve a good soaking. Well, sock it to ’em. Douglas County has 65 road super visors. That means 65 bosses, 65 methods of road building, 65 political pefe and 65 tax eaters nibbling at the road fund. It is about time that Doug las County cut out this wasteful and unsystematic method of road building and resorted to a common sense, business system, if it ever expects to obtain good roads and value tor mon ey expended on roads. One guod boss is all that is needed in any county. ------o------ The snap shot man is firmly of the opinion that the public should be ex cluded from the court room in cases of the same character that had a pre liminary hearing in this city on Tues day. Public morals demand it. Cases of immoral character invariably draw large crowds of spectators, and even women seem to take a great deal 01 interest in hearing the cvidenc, which, on the whole ,is of a filthy character. We hope in future that the court room will be cleared of spectators in cases of immoral character. The snap shot man feels like a Missourian mule, one of the good kicking kind, when it comes to re stricting mail service Jor Tillamook County to three days a week. Hclj us do some hard kicking, for that b the way we arc going to show oui righteous indignation. When the mai. was packed into the county over the mountains it came regularly every day summer and winter, and if it is im possible to bring it over the railroad, then have it packed every day in the 'future. Tillamook City was up against a serious problem since the cold weath er set in. It was without fire protec tion on account of so many citizens allowing their faucets to remain open to prevent them from freezing. Had a fire occurred it is safe to say that those who allowed the water to run to waste and cut down the pressure, would have been the first to criticise the city officials and fire fighters. Wc believe it is far more important to protect the city from fire than protect a few faucets and water pipes from bursting, and we believe it is th< proper thing to do, when a like situ ation presents itself, to appoint a number of inspectors to visit the homes and arrest and fine those whe allow the water to go to waste. There is some difference of opinion as to whether the Commercial Club shouH be continued or whether the proposed Chamber of Commerc« shonM take its place. It is imperative thit some live active organization should be maintained in this city What appears to be the bone of con tention is whether a strictly Cham her of Commerce would find suffi cient support and interest taken in i‘ while others are of the opinion tha< the pool and billiard tables etc. should be maintained, no matter what organizaticn is eventually decided up on. Theie appears to be an earnest desire to get together and work to gether for an organization to look after the city’s and county’s interest, DEATH OF MRS. A. L.

He was an indulgent parent, a sympathetic friend and a kind and obliging neighbor, charitable to all whom he found in trouble. He accumulated considerable property and was quoted as one of the success ful citizens of the county where he had made his home for so many years Mrs. Donaldson was left motherless at the age of six years , was educated in the public schools of California, and was taught to be a model fanner's wife, becoming an expert in house hold arts. Joseph G. Donaldson came to Ore gon to better his condition which, in deed, was the hope and expectation of all the early settlers. Upon his ar rival here his wordly possessions consisted of $60 and some bedclothes. He settled on a farm in Tillamook it county, which he homesteaded, and which Mrs. Donaldson's farther had held for them by the payment of $50. PHONE US. The land was in a wild state, and with indomitable courage Mr. and Mrs. TODD HOTEL Donaldson began to make a com- fortable home. Their first taxes wcre between $10 and $15 and in 1903 were $312. They ”” first began dairying on a small scale, milking two cows in 1867, and during May, June and July, «903, the income from thtir cattle which has always been the chief source of revenue, was $400 per month. From 1804 until 1889 the family resided up on the farm that was the original homestead, at this time paying $2,500 for two hundred acres of fine bottom land. Removing his family to this place he began making improvements that are seen today by visitors to the farm, where they will always find a welcome. In 1896 the old homestead was sold in order to make the filial payment on the present farm, and up on the death of Mrs. Donaldson’s THE BEST father, who left her $2,000 she pur chased the old place.
