The City on Tillamook Bay.
The merchants and business men of
Bay City were notified to report at
8 p.m. Thursday evening to the
mayor’s office for the purpose of
forming a club for the betterment of
the city to the satisfaction of the
city lathers.
They all answered to their name
and were well pleased,it appeared, to
belong to the club that means bigger
business. The order of the evening
was the organization of all routine
work connected with the future wel
fare of Bay City. Communications re
ceived from all parts of the state,
such as inquiries about the need of
machine shops, garage filling sta-
• tions, hotels, fruit canneries and
manufacturing plants, caused a great
deal of enthusiasm.
Following are the members enroll
ed: "J. O. Bozarth, C. F. Girard, H.

was adjourned until the following
week, to be followed by a banquet at
Girard’s Grill.
It was unanimously voiced by the
members of the club that County

A Billion of Dollars More Cost for

Let a little plain arithmetic tell
the grim tale of government opera-
tion—economic synonym for Wreck-
age:
For the first four months of thia
year of 1919 the American railroads
carried
two
and
a quarter
billions of ton miles of freight less
than the average of the same period
in the three years before the gov
ernment took over the roads.
In the four months of 1919 it cost
the American people in higher
freight bills >447,950,000 more than
it cost the American people in the
corresponding test period before gov
ernment operation to ship and pay
the freight bill on two and a quarter
billions more ton miles of freight
hauled In that corresponding test
period.
But It also cost the railways nearly
>612,000,000 more—to be exact,
>611,797,000—to haul the 2,25«.
000.000 fewer ton miles of freight
than the test period.
Directly costing the American
public, in higher freight bills, >447,-
950,000 more, and indirectly costing
the American public, in deficits 1
which must be made up out of taxes j
on the people, >611.797,000, here is |
an increased cost to the public ot
more than a billion dollars— to be
exact >1,059,747,000.
More than a billion dollars of in-
creased costs to the American people
in only four months—one-third of a
year--for the transportation of
and a quarter billions fewer
miles of freight!

business is the touch of death.

Matter of Fame
Nicolai Zedeler, the distinguished cellist, organiser and manager of the
Zedeler Symphonic Quintet, soon to be heard at Chautauqua, believes that
love of good music is Inherent in every one. and he has surrounded himself
with an organization of superior musicians for the one purpose of bringing the
best in the world of music into the life and appreciation of the average hearer.
The programs of the company are chosen from the works of the masters, and a
brief and comprehensive explanation of each number precedes Its presentation,
adding much to a proper understanding of the music. To enable a company of
five to secure symphonic effects a special reed organ is carried.
A gjoup of housewives were having
tea together at a restaurant and talk

question under discussion was as to
who had done most to win the war.
Some said Haig, .others Beatty, oth

in; “I don’t know who’s done most
to win the war,1’ she said “but I
know who’s been most talked about.’’

The Wrong Number But—
It was the same old story. He had
got the wrong number on the tele
phone.
Only this time he received a shock.
“I’m sorry I gave you the wrong
line.” said a sweet voice over tha
wire.
“It doesn’t matter a bit,”' he re-
plied not to be outdone in courtesy.
"I’m sure the number you gave me
was much better than the one I ask

wasn’t able to use it.”

A young mill hand, having some
slight mental trouble, was sent to an
asylum. After he had been there for
a few weeks a fellow worker visited
him. “Hello Henry!” he asked. “How
are you getting on?” “I’m getting on
fine,” said the patient. "Glad to hear
it. 1 suppose you’ll be coming back to
the mill soon?” "What!” exclaimed
Henry, and a look of great surprise
came to his .’ace. “Do you think I’d
leave a big, fine house like this and
a grand garden to come back to work
in a mill? You must think I’m wrong
in my head.”
Everybody Bossed Him.
