FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24,1924 TILLAMOOK PAGE 6 have eight members of congress. The five named have 129. The 22 states west of the Missis­ sippi river are almost three times the size of the 26 east of the Mississippi river, but the 22 states have 131 members of congress while the 26 eastern states have 304 members. In all questions where the east and west differ what chance would our west have with congress supreme and final in making the laws. The 74,000,000 people living east of the Mississippi river must within a very few years depend almost en­ tirely for their timber products upon the Pacific coast states. The cost of transporting our lumber from the Pacific coast ports to Atlantic coast ports is from $12 to $18 per feet less by water than it is overland by rail. Already large distributing yards for western manufacturers are being es­ tablished along the Atlantic coast and the lumber now passing through the Panama canal runs from 30 to 40 mil­ lion feet per week. Only the larger ports along the Pa­ cific are big enough to receive ves­ sels of sufficient tonnage to justify the long trip through the canal and it is imperative that all our harbors at the mouth of streams, where the water sheds are covered with timber, should be improved sufficiently to justify the entrance of vessels large enough to economically carry timber products to the market. It will cost several million dollars to improve the harbors on the coast of Oregon, but the expenditure is justified and will save many times the cost in reducing the expense of transportation. Our government is already burden­ ed with public debts slightly over twenty billion and it pays approxi­ mately one billion per year interest. We also have an annual charge of $400,000,000 to care for disabled ex- service men. These are both items of expenditure that did not prevail be­ fore the war, but must now be met in addition to the ordinary govern­ ment expenses. If we should add to this public burden the cost of buying and operat­ ing the railroads it would, without doubt, seriously affect appropriations for harbor improvements. The improvement and development of Tillamook harbor is essential to the growth and prosperitv of both in­ dustry and agriculture in Tillamook county. Serious consideration must, therefore, be given to the question of securing appropriations from con- come to apoint where it can serve the producers by furnishing cars when IIIIIIIIIHIIIIIII Illi they are needed, and just now when (Marie Messersmith) the industrial and agricultural life of On Wednesday morning of this the United States has become organ­ week, the music period was given ized, rejuvenated and stabilized fol­ over to the first and second grade lowing the great war, it is the wrong children who under the direction of time to even think of experimenting Miss Church, had a regular music with government ownership in this lesson before the high school assem­ country. bly.
