Rushed Is Belief. Army Man to Bay. Jasper Smith died at hie home at Board Favorable. Hanning Stred, a laborer, work Thos. Jones, an employee at the That the project of deepening the channel in Tillamook Bay will be undertaken by the Government within the next year is the belief of Russel Hawkins, of the Whitney Company, Limited, who, among other Portland citizens, has been keeping in touch with the plans for the proposed improvement. This belie: was strengthened Tuesday by the receipt of private advances from Washington to the effect that the Board of Army Engineers will pass favorably upon the report of Major J. J. Morrow recommending the construction of a single jetty and a 16-foot channel to the bay at a point about three miles north of the town of Tillamook. The cost of the project will exceed $811.000, and will be allured equally by the Government and by the mun icipalities of Bay City and Tilla mook. Showing their good faith in the enterprise, each of these towns has created a bonded indebtedness to cover its quota of the cost. The town of Tillamook has already suc ceeded in placing a block of $150,000 worth of bonds with Eastern finan ciers. Major Morrow, in charge of the Government engineering service for this district, spent much of last year in making surveys and prepar ing data for the proposed improve Tillamook Light, fell, at some time past noon Wednesday, from the derrick to the rocks below, a dis tance ot over twenty feet, and re ceived internal injuries, the extent of which has not been ascertained as yet by the attending physicians. The Sue H. Elmore, Capt. Schrader, muster, was signaled from Tilla mook Head to lay off shore and the Light crew placed the injured man on her to be brought to the Bay City Sanitarium for treatment. Mr Jones remained in a semi conscious state all day Wednesday, but at present it is thought that there is hopes f>r his recovery. From his appearance, it is sup posed that lie was painting at the time of the accident. Mr. Jones is a native of England, is about 50 years old and has been stationed at Tillamook Head for a number of years. SPEEDER FINED. County Officials Start Crusade Against Reckless Driving. Tillamook County officials on Saturday started a crusade against reckless driving and record mak ing time of automobiles over county roads, who, regardless of the live* of others, have been running their machines at break-neck speed, not only endangering their own lives but placing in jeopardy the lives of our citizens who may be out driv ing with teams or other means of conveyance. The people of Tilla mook County have not spent large sums of money building good roads for automobilists to speed over at the rates they have been traveling of late, consequently there is gen eral complaint all over the county. To lower the record of the run from Portland to Tillamook City, A. J. Edwards left Portland early Satur day morning, covering the dis tance of 112 miles in four hours and 36 minutes. In coming through the county, Curley Piggs, who ac companied Edwards, whooped and yelled for people to get out of the way of the on rushing machine, for it was in Tillamook County and over the stretch of good roads where the throttle was opened wide and the machine bounded along at a lively rate. Word reaching Sheriff Crenshaw and Deputy District At torney Willett, three complaints were sworn to and Edwards was arrested. He pleaded guilty to two charges und stood trial on the third, and was found guilty, Justice of the Peace Stanley fining him $10 on each charge and cost, which amounted in all to$37.50. He paid the first two fines and took the matter of paying the third under advisement, and giving bonds, he was released. The three complaints were sworn to bv J. C. Blanchard, I. W. Hiner and T. B. Turner. ment. The next s.tep will be to submit the matter before Congress to se cure the appropriation of approxi mately $400,000 for the project. Improvement of the channel in Tillamook Buy is considered im portant because it will be possible for vessels to touch at Bay City und other points in the bay without difficulty. It is predicted that one of the results of the proposed im provement will be the establish ment of immense lumber mills there. It ia estimated that there nre over 25,000,000 feet of virgin tim ber in the district tributary to Tilla mook Bay. By the time the chan nel is improved and the Panama Canal is completed, it is expected that some of the extensive timber owners of that territory will have in opperation immense lumbering plants. Among the concerns most heavily interested there are the Whitney Company, Limited, the Blodgett Company, and the Wilson River Lumber Company. These three companies, it is said own und con trol over 150,00 acres of fine timber land. ___________ _____ ing for the P. R. & N. Co., at their rock quarry, near Garabaldi, was struck on the back of the head by a rock, which had broken loose from the top of the bluff, Tuesday morning, at 9:30 o’clock, the skull being fractured by the blow. The injured man was taken to the Bay City Sanitarium as quickly as possible, and everything was done for him that could be done. How ever, the blow was of such a nature that recovery was impossible and life passed away at 12:15 o’clock. The body of the deceased was brought to this city Tuesday even ing in charge of Peter Lyback, an uncle of the deceased. Interment was made in thel.O.O.F. cemetery. Deceased was a nephew of Peter Norberg, and was born August 21, 1831. He was married Nov. 10, 1906, to Mies Margeret Velund, of Sweden. He was in the navy of his native land for four years, and was later employed in a woolen factory where he worked until he come to the U.S. He came to TillamooHi June, and a month ago went to work at the rock quarry. He was29years, 11 months and 10 days old, and leaves a wife and two small children to mourn their loss, besides relatives in Tilla mook. AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS Lottis Labowitch’s Shoulder Dislocated in a Mix Up. Newberg, Oregon, July 26 at 3 a. tn., very suddenly. He had not been well for two weeks but was up about the house most of the time and his death was not expected by the fam ily. Mr. Smith was born at Laporte, Laporte County, Indiana, Septem ber 17, 1843, and came to Oregon in 1847. Had he lived till September 17th, he would have been 68 years old. He was married to Mies Sarah Harper, May 27, I860, at Umatilla, Oregon. They lived in the Willamette Valley and Eastern Oregon until Seplember, 1879, they moved to Tillamook County where they lived and raised their family j until 1903, when they moved to Yam hill County, near Newberg, where he remained lint 1 death came. He leaves besides his wife, the follow- children: Maude Smith Porter, wife of J. C. Porter, of Newberg ; Will C., of Port'and ; J. Clyde, of Grant County ; E. Phin. of New berg; Robt. R., of Portland; Hu bert S., of Newberg ; H. Dolph, of Newberg ; R. Rex and L. Hazel of Newberg. Two sons, Lester and Elmer, died previously. All the children had visited home within the last few days and all were present at the funeral which took place at Newberg on July 27 at 2 p. m. He was followed to his last resting place by n large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. To know him was to love him for his honesty and generosity. He was a good neighbor, husband, fa ther and citizen. He did not dread death and was ready to go when cal led, though he will be greatly missed by his wife whom he has been with for so many years and suffered hardships in pioneer days together. Jasper Smith was a candidate in the 1902 election for County Judge on the Republican ticket, but was defeated by W. W. Conder, Demo crat, following the Sappington ad ministration, at which time there was considerable complaint how county affairs had been run, and this was the cause of the Repub lican’s nominee defeat. Mr. Smith considered that the people had not treated him fair in the election, and he moved from the county the fol lowing year, taking with him a num ber of sons who were helping to im prove and develop the county. This county lost a number of good citizens when the deceased removed to Newberg, and his leaving was much regretted, for he had many friends in Tillamook. While coming from Nehalem Sunday, at about 12:45 p. m., a car which was being driven by a Port land man ran into a stump which extended out over the road, near the John Hickey place, on the Foley, and threw all the passengers in the back seat out and damaged the machine considerably. Ths car had been engaged in the morning by Louie Labowitch, of this city, to go to Nehalem, for the purpose of meeting Harry G. Labowitch, of the firm of Labo- witeh Bros., of Portland, and hie friend, Geo. Woods, of Portland, both of whom had walked in over the Necarney trail. As they were running at a moderate speed the machine struck a rough place in the road which caused the driver to loose control of the steering geer and made the car run into a root of the stump. When the machine struck the rear end awuug around and threw all three of the passengers in the back out, shaking them up considerably, and throwing Louie Labowitch’s right shoulder out of place.

When he was a mile south of town he met a young man on a bicycle who seemed to be un decided as to which side of the road he should keep. As Mr. Ray was approaching him, he started to cross the road in front of the ma chine. Thia caused Mr. Ray to run his car off to one side of the road in order to escape running over young Schlappi, and in doing so he ran his car into an anchor post of the Pacific States Tel. and Tel.
