To that large section of Tillamook known as the Nehalem Valley, concern. Irg which so much has been beard and ao little Is known. Natura has been particularly kind. A short time ago tha editors of tha Tillamook County newspapers who have formed a body as the "Booster-Kdltors Association." accompanied by aeveral visiting newspapermen, visited this sec tion as the guests of tha Neha'em folk, and tha things Uiey saw there amaied them. The rarty consisted of Fred C. Baker, editor of tha Tillamook Headlight and president of tha association; C. E. Trombley. editor of tha Tillamook Her. aid and the Booster-Editors' secretary; H igo F.

The struggles with which tha Neha lem community has had to contend caa be appreciated when It Is known that only a few years ago that great por tion of It on the north side or the Nehalem River and Its forks was al most completely cut off from, the rest of Tillamook County, and that the only means of communication with the out side world offered was Irregular boat service, and mall service over a dan gerous mountain road to Seaside. No bridge spanned, tha river to put Neha lem la touch with the rest of the county. A hard struggle was that wnlcn waa waged to aecure the bridge. Final- v. with a apeclal -S-mlll tax imposed by the Nehalem people upon them selves, with the permission of a solicit ous County Court, the bridge waa built at a ooat of 16000. Not more than five years ago la It that the bridge was opened. Prior to tha opening of the bridge there was scarcely a road worthy of the name In that section of tha Neha lem Valley, and not more than three gone. Tha farms were all located along the waterways, and commerce and social communications ware con ducted by means of rowboata on the river. An occasional luckleaa way rarer waa ferried across the rt..

Tha people of Nehalem argue that 1H mllea la really a vary nice distance to bo from a railroad when there Is ready mesne of access to It, and that Nehalem with her position as tha commercial center of at least all tha country from the Nehalem River north ward and eastward to the oounty line, together with opportunities for a har bor not to be aurpassed on the Oregon coast outside of the Columbia River, will always be the queen city In her own little empire.

We shall give 30 months' time in which to complete the purchase. The main thing is to quickly turn these instruments into money or interest bearing paper.

Most of the damage occurred on the lower end. About half way down there was a landslide on each aide of the gorge.

At present they are bending their ener gies to getting a passable trail for pack mules. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the Benguet road will never be rebuilt. Not only would the first cost be very great, but it is liable to go out again any rainy season the same way It has this, and the work would have to be done all over again. It will be very difficult ever to do any permanent road construction in these mountains.

This place Is very pleasant during "the season," but quite the reverse- the rest of the year. I have had all I want of this place and would be quite satisfied to go back to McKlnley.

Tony Arnaud and - Henry Gallet, North End aaloonkeepers, were ar rested yesterday by deputy sheriffs in defense to bench warrants Issued by Judge Gatens, following their Indict ment by the grand Jury on charges of keeping disorderly houses- Kitty Shaw, who runs the establishment over Ar naud's saloon, was also indicted on a similar charge, but the police learned that she left the city. Gallet and Arnaud deposited $500 ball. Arnaud drawing the money from a long sack he had in his pocket when taken into custody. ' The evidence which these men gave before the Coun ty Commissioners in their resent in vestigation of North End conditions, was taken down In shorthand and bases the present indictments to a great ex tent The admissions were drawn from the witnesses by A. E. Clark at the Inquiry. The loss by Jake Kutner several weeks ago of diamonds and other gems valued at more than $1200 and a cer tificate of deposit for $1000 In a house near the corner of Second and Fland ers streets, also led to a series of In dictments, those charged by the grand Jury- being Kutner, accused of assault with a revolver on Margie Blake and May Jones and May Moeller, accused of the theft of the gems and the cer tificate of deposit. Margie Blake, the lessee of the house In which Kutner Is alleged to have lost his property, was arrested as a witness in the case agalnt Kutner by order of the grand Jury. She was released when the father of the man against whom she is held to testify furnished $500 -cash ball for her. May vones was arrested a few days aa-o following the report that, while visiting Hayden Lake, Wash., after the theft of the Kutner diamonds, sne gave a couple of small stones as tips to boya who waited on her. The story which she told after her arrest was to the effect that the diamonds had really been stolen by May Moeller and given to her, hence the two Indictments. The Indictment of Kutner arises from the fact that on discovering the loss of his Jewelry he is alleged to have flour ished a revolver promiscuously and to have threatened the Blake woman with It. Other true bllla returned were: N. J. Stewart and John Doe, charged with stealing nine dozen pocket knives from A. B. Burger A Son, September 16.

Alfred Brown, the man who recently eclipsed all rec ords for long distance swimming in New York Bay by going from the Bat tery to within one mile of Sandy Hook. "It has been my experience,"' he said. "that very few of our longf-distance swimmers know how to train or to care for themselves when they have a gruel ling test of endurance in sight Most of them believe that it Is necessary to plug away day after day over long courses In order to get in condition, and the practice kills them instead of making them fit They lose flesh and vitality ao rapidly that when the time comes to call on the reserve strength there la none to respond. "I'm an old hand at the game, and have studied It closely for many years. I won the professional long-distance championship of the United States in 1907, and have before and since made a number of tests, including four trips from the Battery to Coney Island, so I have had plenty of opportunity- to ex periment; and I know that the only way to train is to get the muscles used to the work without weakening the sy6tem. If you get down too fine the cold water knocks you after . a ' couple of hours, and even if you can stand It you haven't the energy to hold a fast stroke. "For my Sandy Hook swim I took a swim of about three or four miles two or three times a week, and on other days I simply went in for a dip, cover- , lng possibly 200 yards, or at most a quarter of a mile, always at a moderate pace. But even this Is more than the average man should do. I'm so used to the water that it only gives me a ravenous appetite, so that I put on weight and I can stand It Others can not "A prevalent habit that cannot be condemned too strongly is that of greasing ths body from head to foot This closes the pores and prevents proper elimination of the poisons. It af fects the heart, causes cramps, and is the worst thing a man can do. I tried it for a while and had no end of trouble. Now I merely grease my armpits to avoid the friction, but leave the rest of my body free. It Is the only way to succeed. "Regarding the taking of nourish ment and stimulants, I find that a good dose of cold beef tea before starting Is of great help, but stimulants or solid food during the swim I never use.' They are harmful rather than bene ficial, opinions to the contrary notwith standing. "As to the best stroke for endurance . work, I favor the trudgeon. For sev eral years I was a firm believer in the side stroke, because I thought It was easier to hold through choppy water. Now I realize that I was wrong. I used the trudgeon exclusively during the Sandy Hook trip. Experts are lately ; advocating the crawl, and they may be right but It takes time to learn a new stroke well enough to make it second nature, and it Is absolutely necessary in a swim of seven or more hours to have the arms and legs work mechanically and sub-consciously. Possibly we will j eventually come to the crawl." j
