Tillamook Headlight, 1913 September t------------------------------------------------------- GOOD ROAD BOOSTERS. Editors of The County News papers Look Over Roads. The editors of most all the county newspapers went on their annual trip over the county the first of the week for the purpose of seeing for themselves what road improve ment* have been carried out aud those ugider construe lion, as well as improvements that are in con templation to be pushed forward at some future time. The newspapei men consisted of Fred C. Baker, Tillamook Head light ; C. E. Trombley, Tillamook Herald ; Frank Taylor, Cloverdale Courier and H. F. Effenberger, Ne haleru Valley Reporter. County Judge Homer Mason and Commis sioners Funner and Edner were in eluded in the party. Visit to Blaine District. t'l* diaw lifting up. Those who have not seen this road improve ment should take a trip to the south part of the county, for it will not only help to open up the beat h resorts but it is a blessing to the settlers io that part of the county. The newspaper men were enter tained at lunch by diaries Ray, at Cloverdale, aud on their way home 1 Monday afternoon visited The Krebs Brick Yard. This ir« a new institution in Tilla mook County. It is situated at South Prairie, where a suitableclay was found about n year ago for brick ami pottery. The Krebs Bros, are experienced in tbe business and have put in a large amount of machinery Although but recently started they have made a large amount of tiling ami brick. The first kiln of buck, containing 30,003 brick and tiling was being burned when the newspaper men visited it on Monday. The industry will, no doubt, prove a success, and teduce the price of brick and and being a home institution worthy of patronage on that count Visit the Whey Sugar Factory, Tuesday morning the newspaper iiu ; ii started north, and on their way visited the Standard Milk Sugar Factory on the Wilson river. This was a revelation to those who had not visited this institution. Mr, Warner kindly explained to the editors the process which the whey went through before it was tinned into sugar, which was highly inter esting Io them Thus far the factory oily turns out the sugar iu tbe crude form, but the retinary machinery is being added to the factory. Monday a trip wus made • to the the south part of the county, and ; improvement in the roud between Beaver and this city wen com- mented on by the newspaper men. They went up the Blaine road and inspected the improvements in roads and bridges going on in that part of the county. A transform.! tion is taking place in that long bottled upsection. Two steel bridges have been erected and another is to be built, with improvements in roads, will Boon turn the Blaine district into another cheese produc ing center, for the building of these bridges and roads will bring more dairy land undercultivation, thereby producing sufficient milk to main tain another cheese factory in the county. Thia is what good roads are going and good bridges for the Blaine country, It will take Trip to Nehalem. several years before all the work on The newspaper tren then started this road is completed on account for Nehalem, going by way of the of scarcity of funds, but as it is u Miami river.

Wheeler, the growing lumbering The Sating Grade. One bad feature on the train thoroughfare is the Saling grade, on account of the narrowness of the road und the continual slides of dirt from the hill On account of funds not being sufficient, and work needed in other parts of this road district improving the road at the Saling grade had to be delayed. This is another piece of road im provement the County Court will take in hand, and when it does fix it it will be fixed right. And it won't be long either, for the County Court expects to keep a small crew ■it work this winter, and with the aid of gun powder, have it com- pleted by the spring and the Muni uier travel next year.

It will be a bee hive of industry the first of the year, for 400 men will be employed in the saw mill, pl lining factories and logging camps.

This w ill cause a large amount of business to be done at Wheeler, and from the present out look the growth of pop ulation on Nehalem bay will as suiue large proportions.

The Waiter Thought the Rule Should Not Work Both Way*. “My bill at the eabaret restaurant ou Hroudway was >25, and when I gave tbe waiter a tip of a dollar he frown ed.” Tbe speaker was a banker from Du luth He continued warmly: “-What are you frowning about?- I asked tlm waiter ‘Isn’t that a gener ous tip for a few minutes work oa your part?’ “ ’In New York,’ the man answered, the rule Is always to give a tip of 10 per cent. Your bill. sir. called for u >2.5« tip. So. naturnlly, I feel a little aggrieved. L!ut it is easy to see. sir, that you nre not s New Yorker, and so It can’t be expected that you'd know tile rules.’ “Well, I pocketed the waiter's insult, and tbe next time I was In that nelgli- borhood I dropped In on him again. I'lils time I wus alone, and, not being hungry. I only ate a $1.15 meal. When It was over I handed the waiter a tip >f II cents. You ought to have seen his face. It wus worse than before. “ ’It's all right.' 1 assured him. ’It’s according to the 10 per cent rule that you taught me. If n man's bill Is ex orbitant that makes no difference, ac cording to the rule. Well, then, when a man's bill Is small. It should make no difference, either.' "The waiter glowered at me. He shook tbe 11 cents In bls pulm sar castically. I said, as I rose to go: "'And, by Jove. It wou't make any dlIT. ri-nce either. If you waiters Insist on ur 10 tier cent for Inrge amounts then you've got to take It for small amounts, too. At least, by Jingo, you've got to take It from me. I'm from Du luth. but 1 know my way nbout.” The Duluth linnker sighed heavily. “But the fact remains,” be said, “that ever since that waiter called me down I give 10 per cent on big amounts like a fool and like a fool I give 20 to 30 per cent on small amounts.”—Minne apolis Journal. FOUND A HIDING PLACE. Then They Got a Big Surprise When Daylight Appeared. The father of Joseph Altsheler, the writer of war stories, was a Prussian who came to this country a few years before the war between the states broke out and settled In Barren county, Kentucky. By reason of his foreign birth the elder Altsheler was not sub ject to draft by either army when hos tilities began, but bis southern sym pathies made him obnoxious to a group of bushwhackers who, posing as Fed- erals, Infested the vicinity of the Ken tucky-Tennessee state line. One starless, moonless night In the summer of 1863 a neighbor camo with the word that the btishwackers were on their way to kill Mr. Altsheler and another resident of the vicinity who bud been outspoken In bis approval of secession. It was not certain, the mes senger said, which road of tw-o the marauders would take to reach the homes of their proposed victims; but it was certain that they would be along soon. Mr. Altsheler and the other threat ened num gathered up a blanket apiece ■mil went Into tho woods to bide. In the darkness they speedily lost all sense of direction. For an hour they . wandered about, seeking a suitable camping place. Flunlly they came to a spot that was free of trees and where the ground felt smooth under foot. So they spread their blankets and went to sleep, secure In the be lief that no bushwhacker could find them there. The rising sun, shining In their faces, waked them. They sat up and looked around. They had been asleep all night at the only place where the raiders could not have failed to find them had their plans been carried out— st the forks of the county road.—Satur day Evenlug Poet.

The Harvest Supper and enter tainment given on Friday evening by thelz dies’ Guild of the Presby terian Church was well attended, so much so that the ladies were taken by surprise in having to provide for so many.
