Making The Home-Run
County Commissioner H. V. Alley,
of Tillamook, arrived back from Port
land, yesterday on the noon express,
en route to hi home and business.
He succeeded in closing a very satis
factory negotiation for a big rock-
crusher, road roller, boiler and en
gine, for use on the Tillamook
roads', and the same will be shipped in
there by the first vessel leaving here
after their arrival at Astoria. Mr.
Alley was unfortunate in missing
every craft that has sailed out of
here for Tillamook during the past 30
hours, and will leave for Seaside this
morning, from which place he will do
a Weston stunt over the dim and
difficult trails to his home 28 miles
beyond there. He is a rustler, any
how, and 30 or 40 miles of walking,
more or less, does not fcaze him any.
He is road builder and if ever Tilla
mook and Astoria are linked up it
will be largely to the credit of Mr.
Alley and his spirited way of doing
things.
