borious valuable horse was lost in the
journey by falling over precipice. The snow |
is now, after being packed down, about two
feet deep.
FoR TIL LAMooK.--We understand that there
are about dozen persons in this county who
are intending to remove to Tillamook county
this spring. That place offers many induce
ments to immigrants. 1t is near the sea coast
with good harbor for coasting craft, and
consequently is near market. The opportuni>
ties for agriculture are considerable and the
numbering interests are not to be estimated.
In connection with farming are vast natural
pastures, inviting the stock raiser to enter and
take possession. We know of no spot west of
the Cascade range that is better place to set
tie than Tillamook.
WANT A CHANGE.-There are three post
masters in this county, one the northern
confines, another in the eastern part of the
county and third toward the south, who are
paying more attention to politics, and less to
the honest discharge of their duties Fede-
raj Office holders, than the case justifes. These
men have taken the authority of returning
the REPuBbIcAN to this office with refused
written on it, when, in fact, the subscribers
never ordered them so to do, but have written
us to know the reason why their papers were
! not sent. If these men, working in the inter
est of the Democratic party, are afraid to al
low beth sides of the political issues Of the
| day to be studied, they had better get up new
| party with sounder bottom.
