Th. ice is timely. Already re- porti axon's toll of numan life is filter:n in from outside sections. Two of -.nree men have been ki.led or viur- this season, and the season aew a j->od deal of being over.

F'ew old hunters are guilty of mdiacrimmau* shooting. The dangerous one is the inex­ perienced boy or over-eager young man who is obsessed with the one idea of getting game. The brushy and densely wooded sec­ tions of the coast range are particul­ arly favorable to hunting accidents. Two parties may be 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 dor 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 ail. while the bricklayer and plasterer are held up as an example of high wages, 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, what the workman makes by hard toil, and in the category of workers, are included the farmer, the ordinary­ business man, the laborer, clerk, and a whole lot of men w*ho do the drudg­ ery of the business world. tures of the same God who created the Caucassian, and made him white instead of brown or black. In due time the races am exDected to get rid of hate and greed and national prej­ udice, which is really an outgrowth and extension of the old cave man tribal prejudice, and then will come the reign of the Brotherhood of man. It will come, but through evolution: and we must admit that evolution is slow, and cannot be hurried, there­ fore let us be as charitable as pos­ sible, and do the best we can. 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 hibit presented. Tillamook county has reason to feel proud of the show­ ing made in that respect. All in all, 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 a» hour’s work in the ring, as in the case of Dempsey and Firpo, the fighting game would appear to be the nation's lead­ ing industry. 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 ot 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 m 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 Alteration. 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.

While there are many things in the Japan­ ese character that are not lovable, in a time like this, it is well to hold the dictum of the mind in abeyance, and let the heart utter its tender message of sorrow and compassion The masses of the Japanese are not to blame for the attitude of the Japan aae militarist party, and after all they are human beings, and are eras 28 W LAMB-SCHRADER CO DON’T LET THE RAINY DAYS STOP YOLR MOVING THE CITY TRANSFER COMPANY IS PREPARED TO SEND EXPERIENCED PACKERS TO YOUR HOME WITH CANVAS TO COVER ALL YOUR GOODS jwMono i o i omo i cfttOMoix*^ COMING! TO TILLAMOOK FOR ONE WEEK Ind Real Service AT THE CITY HALL ♦ ♦ ♦ Tom Grenfall, who has just return­ ed from the coast, brought back with him probobly the largest clam ever taken into captivity. It weighed 4 3-4 pounds, and was still living after he reached home. He had to call for help to pull him out of the sand. Hon­ estly, that clam was so big that he just nicely filled an ordinary shoe box. Tom holds the clam record till somebody breaks it, which we opine won't be very soon. The capture was made at Netarts.— McMinnville Tele­ phone Register. ♦ ♦ ♦ Lucier was persuaded by Matthieu to vote for an American protectorate. The elder Matthieu was a clerk in the employ of the American Fur comp­ any at one time. He was barely over 21 years old when he cast his famous vote. He was also a charter member of the first Masonic lodge in Oregon— Oregon City No. 1. He was later made a past grand master of the Oregon Masons, and was buried by the grand lodge of this state. F. X. Matthieu was born in Montreal, Can­ ada, in 1818, and died Feb. 14, 1914, at the age of 97. He served in the Oregon legislature in 187R-8, two terms, and was the first constable el­ ected in Oregon, after it became a territory, and served under Jo. Meek, who was U. S. marshal. A monument was erected at Cham­ poeg, upon which appears the name of Matthieu and his fellow voters, who saved Oregon to tbe United States. When 97 years old, Matthieu Our Motto: “Quick Service and Reasonable Rates.” The survey of the proposed road to the Tillamook country through the Wilson River pass has been com­ pleted by Engineer Earl Hobbs.

The forces were about evenly divided. Some were for organ­ izing under Great Britain, while oth­ ers were partial to the United States. It was after much discussion that Jo. Meek of Tuality plains, in what is now Washington county, drew a line in the earth with stick, and shouted: “All who are for the United States, follow me over this line.” When all of those who were for the United States were counted, it was found that there were just fifty on each side. At this juncture F. X. Matthieu father of John F. Matthieu of this city, and Etienne Lucier came up, and when asked to vote, promptly stepped over the line drawn by Meek, and all­ ied themselves with those voting for the United States, thus giving a maj­ ority. Then followed the organization of a territiorial government under the protection of the United States. Had Matthieu and Lucier voted the other way, Oregon, would probably have been English territory. CALL US DAY OR NIGHT 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 degem-racy. 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 frictions 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 tethei, 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 gneviousiy 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.
