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

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. How
