mat ter of regret to those who,
dissatisfied with the lUHi prices,
plowed up their yards, on the
supposition that because many
states had gone prohibition the

justify production. In Washing

crop is under contract.

Miss Sadu- Pharis. visiting at
the J. H. Duncan farm near Ti
gard, was drowned in the Tuala
tin. Sunday. She "was rect fitly
from Colorado. The fatality
took place about three miles
above Tigard. Mi'hs Pharis left
the Duncan home about midnight
and was attired only in her night
robe. Her relatives attempted
to catch her, but failed, and the
girl jumped into the water from
a high embankment, a clear case
of suicide. She had evidenced no
despondency, and her rash act is
a great shock to the Duncans.

BIG COLE EIGHT IS

i
Earl Donelson's big Cole-8 turn
ed turtle three times on an em
bankment on the Big Nestucca
river, near Beaver, Tillamook
County, Thursday night, and the
escape of Donelson, Ray Emmott
and Wm. Gillenwater from death
was almost miraculous. The car
was meeting another machine
and all at once. shot over the
bank. The machine rolled over
the third time and landed against
a tree, with but. little damage to
its mechanism. Will Gillenwa
ter, of the Hillsboro Creamery,
was thrown clear into the Nes
tucca, and the minute he struck
the water started to swim to
save his bacon. He has two ribs
badlytsprained ana some bruises
on his body, besides a cut on his
cheek and nose. Ray Emmott
found himself rolling down the
hill, with the big machine chas
ing him. He beat it out, how
ever, and was soon on his feet
with only a goose-egg on his
shin to show for the general re
sults. Earl remained, with the
wheel until the Cole landed
against a tree, and the boys
found him pinioned under the
car, with but a few scratches.
It was at first feared Gillenwater
was internally injured and a
phone call was put in for Dr.
Smith, who made a record trip
to Tillamook to attend the in
juries. All three came home
Friday.
Witnesses to the turnover say
that they can't comprehend how
in the nature of things no one
was killed. The party was going
over for a day at the beach and
to bring Mrs. Gillenwater, who
was enjoying a vacation, home
from the beach.
The driver meeting Donelson
was "nogging" the road accord
ing to Donelson's version.'
LOOKING FOR NOOSE
Someone evidently is looking for
a noose, and will find it if thresh
er engines are troubled in the
county. Last Thursday night
the Ed. Boge engine was left by
the engineer, J. B. Adams, in
regular shape, with a slow fire
and plenty of water. Geo. Burk
halter. on -the Burkhalter place,
where the threshing was in pro
gress, heard a noise about nine
o'clock, and investigated. He
found everything in good shape,
but the next morning the engine
had blown a safety plug, and
there was altogether too much
tire in the firebox. The water
had all gone up in steam, and it
required several, hours delay be
fore things could start. That
some one must have tampered
with the engine is a foregone
conclusion, for Burkhalter says
that there was all kinds of water
showing in the guage the night
before.
