BlaunhtiT of deer are of the nmst
important to Washington Conn
ty, and the legislature just
closed has prohibited the killing
of Mongolian pheasants for a
period of two years. The law
on deer has been amended so
that the limit of bucks for one
season has been reduced from
five to three. Does, as in the
past, are immune.
Washington County is one of
the best hunting grounds in the
state for the Mongolian pheasant,

and the legislators wisely thought
that it was but a question of

V. V. Willis and wife, who
have been teaching since last
September, in District No. 37,
Kinton, have sued the district
for $200 damages, each, and Mr.
Willis sues for $05 back salary
for one month, and Mrs. Willis
sues for $50, which constitutes a
month's salary. The Willis
plaintiffs allege, so it is report
ed, that thev were arbitrarily
shut out of their contract, after
they had closed school one day,
upon advice of the county school
superintendent. The next morn
ing they were locked out of the
building on January 18. Bag
ley & Hare are attorneys for the
plaintiffs. It is said that the
district refuses to pay any claim
for damages, on the ground that
the Willis family closed the
school of their own accord on
the 17th of January, and that
they therefore violated the con
tract, themselves, and thus ab
solved the district.

TILLAMOOK LINE NOW
JSTRIJCTJI
General Manager C. II. Lytic
lxHks for Completion by July I
BRIDGES ARE NOW OBSTRUCTION
But About 500 Feet of Tunnel Work to
be Finixhed
General Manager C. E. Lytle
confidently expects the Pacific
Railway & Navigation Company
will have its line completed into
Tillamook by July 1, at the latest
unless the snows remain very
late in the mountains. He states
that there are but several hun
dred feet of tunnel work to be
finished, and this will be but a
matter of a short time. The
big bridges, however, are the
obstruction, and they can work
on but two bridges at a time,
one on each end of the track.
He says that piling is the big
consideration, as many of the
bridges are in the big timber,
and piling must be taken in from
both ends. This means, of
course, that piling material can
only be deposited at the ends of
the track, it being next to impos
sible to have them hauled through
the tortuous roads leading into
the interior.
If the snows melt early so that
bridge building can proceed with
celerity, Mr. Lvtle figures that
the latest date for the opening
of the road can be fixed at July
1, although better progress might
be made if warm weather should
clear the snow from the moun
tains a few weeks earlier than is
usual.
