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.

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

remained and engaged in farming for
many years. He died July 18, 1900,
aged seventy-six years, seven months
and twelve days. 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

the income from thtir cattle which
has always been the chief source of

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
