Th« rw ail movement against Wal-

politica uiitt by a number of asi-
■int indi . mala of small mental cal
iber who. ender feelings have been
hurt on a aunt of alleged acta of the
governor since he was installed in
•ffiee la.-- January.
The call is nothing more than the
reaction- pf a bunch of political hacks
who. b> ore Pierce's election, got him
to ma» promises which he was un-
taie ’ fulfill and which they must
have Known in reason tat he would
never be able to carry out.
A re".ill under the Oregon law de
pend upon malfeasance in office and
>om’ ' these disgruntled politicians
may hav, a hard time proving this
charge.
The Headlight has many times fail
ed to agree with Governor Pierce in
his polite but is unable to see any
lessor in this for wishing his recall,
Supp. wing Oregon’s governor has
nude a failure of his job- we have
tad worse ones, and quite recently
it that.
The recall petitions will pet very
little

the woods. A man cannot well get
•round in the woods without disturb
ing small brush, and the man who
Ores a- moving brush, is either a fool
w ar ncompetent hunter. The game
tommi. lion’s advice to “first see the
itorn- of the deer,” would if followed,
prevent a lot of accidents and per
haps human life.
According to the present law on
•his subject, a man who fires at or
wound a fellow man in the woods,
ttustaxing him for a deer, or other
game besides other penalties will
have nis license revoked forever. In
other words, if he gets excited and
fires st a human being, he will never
have another chance to hunt in the
•tale of Oregon, and probably will be
blacklisted in other suites by name
and description forwarded by the
Oiegon authorities. Few old hunters
are guilty of iiuUacriminau. shooting.
The dangerous one is the inex
perienced boy or over-eager young
man who is obsessed with the one
idea of getting gume.
The brushy and densely wooded sec
tions of the coast range are particul
arly favorable to hunting accidents.
Two parties may lie in the same
neighborhood, and each party is un
conscious of the presence of the other,
hence, at times become careless. But
at all times, the hunter should heed
the warning “Never pull the trigger
until you see the horns."
The plasterer and bricklayer are
uncrowned kings in their respective
positions. They have to be approach
ed humbly, and most of them demand
the $15 to $18 per day that they
charge, to be paid in advance. It is
said that when a bricklayer or plast
erer is off duty in the big cities, he
may easily be mistaken for a prince
or a coal oil king. Of course, these
tradesmen are supposed to work lor
their money, which is one thing in
their favor. There are men who do
not work for what they get, and they
have the bricklayer badly distanced.
There is brother Ford, whose income
is something like $1,000 per minute.
He doesn't work with a trowel, either.
There are other fellows who don't
work They steal what the other man
makes, or they peddle bunko games
and bunk stock. They proceed along
the lines of the least resistance, and
use their wits to defraud, instead of
using their hands to work. After all.
while the bricklayer and plasterer are
held up as an example of high wuges,
they are at that a whole lot better
than a lot of the plug hat cormorants
who steal under the protection of the
law, and along alleged business lines,

Canada is coming to the United
States. According to the statement
of a well informed Portland man in
Tillamook, last week, there are more
than forty thousand Canadians in
Portland alone. Instead of the Unit
ed States furnishing a large immi
gration to Canada, the reverse is true.
Canadians are coming to the United
States in large numbers, and the num
ber is yearly increasing.
One of the outstanding features of
the fair was the splendid cattle ex

Tillamook county
has reason to feel proud of the show

the fair was a success, and there was
a fine attendence from all over the
county.
When two fighters can divide up
close to a million dollars for an hour's

Dempsey and Firpo, the fighting game

there are many things in the Japan

WATCH WATER SUPPLY,
SAYS THIS PHYSICIAN
(By F. D. Stricker, M. D.)
At this season of the year when
tourists, campers, hunters ami fish
ermen are roaming at large in every
nook and corner of the State the prob
abilities of an otherwise reasonably
safe water shed becoming polluted are
greatly increased. It is therefore ad
visable that extra precautions be tak
en to safeguard against a possible in
terruption of the purity of your
water.
There are three general methods of
water purification: first, sedimenta-
tion or storage; second, f ¡Iteration;
and third, chemical.
The method of storage in not safe
unless it be used in combination with
either chemical purification or filter
ation. It is used in exceptional in-
stances where an ample lake or reser
voir removed from the access of hu
man beings is available, and where
the water is practically free from
solid mater. Harmful bacteria do not
multiply naturally in clean water,
and by keeping it stored for a period
of months before it is used a certain
amount of purification takes place.
The second method, that of filter

It was after much discussion that Jo.

THE DOWNWARD PATH
The spectacle of six young men en
tering a car to be taken to the state
penitentiary last Friday morning
from this city, was not an inspiring
one. It spoke a story of what a
wrong conception of life will do for
a young man. Two or three of the
number who were conveyed to the
state penal institution were hardened
young men, whose faces showed dis
sipation and degeneracy. Just what
were the conditions that brought their
downfall, is hard to know. They may
have been reared in idleness, or they
may have been well reared, and yet
took the wrong path. When a boy gets
it in his head that the law is unneces-
saryjind that there should be no res
trictions thrown about him in his tend
ency to live without work, to steal or
violate the law for the precarious
profit it brings, he is in a most dang
erous condition of mind. Everything
depends upon the attitude of the
mind. If a man prefers the society
and ways of criminals and toughs, he
will soon arrive at the end of his
tether, and sooner or later be one him
self. One of the saddest comment
aries in the case of these convicted
young men, is the fact that they are
not only hurting themselves and soc
iety, but they also are grieviously
wounding the mind and heart of some
good old mother, or father, who in
their old age, are humiliated and
shamed by the very ones they tried
to rear and nurture in the right way.
The young man who will persist in
bringing trouble to a good old mother
or father, or to other law abiding re
latives, must have a heart of stone.
The caravan of six boys going to the
penitentiary from this county is
enough to induce wayward boys and
girls to give pause, and take stock of
the trend of their lives. One road
leads to good citizenship and the re
spect of one’s fellows; the other leads
to ruin and social oblivion. The sign
post warns of the forks in the road.
Young man, before you make the mis
take of your life, take the right road.
and if properly carried out at all times
produces a safe water suply. This
is purely a mechanical process and
consists of passing the water through
a scries of layers of sand of varying
sixes from small granules to large
pebbles, the entire series being about
six feet thick. This process only re
moves the dirt and solids. This meth
od requires the construction of spec
ial mechanical apparatus, and is ex
pensive for the small community.
The third or chemical purification
consists of the addition to the water
of some chemical that destroys the
germ life, or practically all of it, but
is not harmful to the consumers of
the water. It is generally acknow
ledged by scientific men that the
most satisfactory method of chemical
purification is by the process of
chlorination. That is by adding to the
water minute quantities of chlorine or
its compounds. This process has be
come so general that it is now in use
in practically every city in the coun
try, with one or two rare exceptions.
In the larger cities it is used in com
bination with the method of storage
or filteration. It has the advantage
of being inexpensive to install and
inexpensive to operate. It is a practi
cal method for the small communities.
No community should depend en-
processes of obtaining pure water. At
some time or other there will occur
accidents to interrupt the continued
purity.
At such a moment there
should be available for instantaneous
purification.

IT is the effect of rain, wind and sun

“weathers” it—that makes it age and

the tough, elastic “film” of paint shields
the surface like a rubber coat protects

TO THE STORE THIS MORNING
All Fuller house paints and (tains, Pure Prepared

I was thinking of the many past due credit ac
counts we were carrying on our books and and
I wondered if people really appreciated credit
accommodations, and why they always stood
the grocer off when they were a little short of
cash.
Then my next thought turned to those who
always met their bills promptly and we take
this opportunity to express our thanks to those
patrons, for we know they appreciate our ef
forts to give service with a smile.
Get in touch with a master painter before the weath
er causes your house to show signs of decay. Or
