A number OF teamsters have spoken TO
us this week about the dangerous condi-
ton OF the Rock creek bridge below
Crnm's mill, and say that it IL unsafe to
cross an empty wagon, 10 say nothing of
a heavy load Even one Of our county
commissioners last week refused to cross
tile bridge with load Of wheat and
drove around IL. II il hoped that the
county court at its regular session next
month will make provision to have it,
either repaired or rebuilt at once, in
time for this fall's wheat hauling. They
say that by going that way they can save
nearly two miles, besides avoid much,
heavier pull up the other Olex hill.

/ Bank-robbing 10 not the easy snap it
used To be. On Thursday night Of last
week three desperadoes robbed the bank
OF Meeker, Colorado, and while they
were at il the citizens armed themselves
and "laid for them" When they came
ont Of the bank, all three were shot down
like dogs, but not before they succeeded
ia wouniing half a dozen Of the brave
citizens. bank at Sherbourne, Mimi,
was also held up by two young men, who
were served in similar manner when
they came out OF the bank That really
| is the best way to discourage bank-rob-
bing. 1t is too bad that the Fossil thugs
were not treated to dose OF the same
kind OF medicine when they robbed Billy
Hoover's safe recently, and who have
not vet been arrested.
We learn that most horrible accident
befell the family Of John Davis at their
home on upper Thirtymile last SUNDAY.
Mrs. Davis, her daughter Matte and
three little children were about 10 start
away on visit to the home Of a neigh
Dor and after placing ihe children in the
wagon and the others were in the act Of
getting on, the usually quiet team be-
came frightened and dashed off at break
neck speed The three children we're
thrown violently to the ground, killing
two of them instantly and il is thought
fatally injuring the third. 1t was an
awful accident and the heartbroken par
ents are completely prostrated over their
terrible misfortune 1t seems that no
matter how well n horse is broke, he can
not be trusted, and is sure to fly off the
handle when least expected.
Last June IL cost Tillamook county $25
to have 5000 ballots printed. Last week
the county court let the contract for
printing 5000 ballots for $S.50,-Tilla-
nook Headlight. This ought to serve
as a pointer To onr county court, which
two years ago paid Glass 4 Prudhomme
OF Portland about $3.50 for 5000 ballots
and last June about $75 for the same
number of ballots. All work Of that kind
and all stationery needed for the coun-
ty should be let to the lowest response
BILE bidder, as is done in about all of the
other counties, and which the court has
exacted from the home printers Of this
county for what few dollars worth of
county printing they get. Surely the
big city firms, that pay no taxes here
and are in no way identified with our in
terests, are not entitled to any better
treatment than is shown the home pub
fishers. 1t is poor Judgment to lose 500
to the big city firms while trying to save
5c from the little home firms, rim other
words, "strain at gnat and swallow a
camel"
