ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.
Jack Simpson’s Leg Crushed at the
County Crusher at Garibaldi.
?
Jack Simpson, a man about 50 years
of age. was another victim to be ad
ded to the fatal accidents that have
taken place in Tillamook County re
cently, this being the third one in
that number of weeks. Simpson was
working at the county rock crusher
at Garibaldi, and a cable that hauled
the car with the rock to the çhusher
broke, and decending rapidly down
the rail caught Simpson before he
I could get out of the way, badly crush
ing the right leg. The unfortunate
man was brought to Dr. Boals’ hos
pital, where the leg was immediately
amputated, but he did not survive the
operation._________________

inis is an appeal to the red blooded, whole-hearted patriots of
Tillamook County, those who vibrate in every fiber of their being
when the flag is unfurled and the band begins to play a patriotic air
A flood of patriotism is now sweeping over our country and in
Tillamook County as well.
Millions have marched or are marching in preparedness parad
es in our large cities. Up to this time our small towns have been as
silent as the tombs, not because patriotism is lacking, for it will be
remembered that the men who fired the shots heard around the
world were from small towns, but because an appropriate occasion
for giving public expressions to the identical emotions that thrill
all Americans, had not arrived. A preparedness parade around one
block wouldn’t be an overly impressive affair.
Why not make the Fourth of July celebration for the small
towns what the preparedness parade has been to the city? That is
the way the Fourth of July Committee of Tillamook regard the
matter. This is no time for provincialism. Let every town cele
brate. Some of the boldest pages of history are being written to
day. Only yesterday the mailed fist of Mexico shook the door of
every American home. Only the simpleton talks about "my town
or no town’’ nowadays. Its "my country or no country.” that’s the
issue.

We understand that Fairview is to celebrate. Good for Fairview.
Wealso understand that Cloverdale is to celebrate. Hurrah for
Cloverdale. Nehalem is to celebrate. Bully for Nehalem. Come now
what other towns will step up. All together.-------------- hurrah!
One thing is sure we’re going to celebrate in Tillamook. We're
going to have a Portland brass band of 15 to 20 pieces. They are
coming here with tons of music. They're going to have all kinds of
glad stuff and it will be the greatest musical feast that ever hit this
neck of the woods.

A New Survey of Oregon.
Bié Bàli Game
The fast Harriman baseball team of Portland or some other
fast aggregation is going up against a Millis aggregation, and, be
lieve us, it’s going to be some baseball. Millis knows baseball and
when he says its going to be some game, believe us you can get
readyfor thrillers. He has the fastest aggregation of talent all lined
up, most of them professional players with a record and full of pep.
Its a case of an "irrestible force meeting an immovable object. ’ If
you can figure that out, and that means some clash.
The new City Hall of Tillamook will be dedicated with appro-1
priate ceremonies on the Fourth.
Then there’s going to be all kinds of contests from the fire
brigade down to the fat man’s race. The committee is working on
the details now and its sure going to be a hummer,

Never before have the business and professional men donated
so generously to a Fourth of July Celebration. Every American
down deep in his heart knows the answer. If you're not: otherwise

The annual meeting of the school
district was held on Monday at the
high school building, there being a
good attendance of taxpayers and
patrons. Mrs. A. C. Everson, chair
man of the board, presided. The first
business was the election of a school
director and clerk. Mrs. Everson and
C. J. Edwards were voted upon for
school, director, the former winning
by a vote of two to one. Mrs. George
Willett and Ira C. Smith were nom
inated for clerk and the latter was
elected. Fred C. Baker and T. H.
Goyne were appointed to audit the
accounts of the clerk. R. W. Watson
made a plea for a central heating
plant for the two school buildings,
and emphasized on the danger of fire
from the-pr.csent heating plants and
the danger from explosion from the
boilers. F. J. Stranahan and Mrs.
Stranahan and R. F. Zachman also
advocated the same, Mr. Zächman
estimating the cost of about $6,000.
FrecLC. Baker stated that as the
schools were costing over $20,000
annually, these matters should be
considered from a taxpayer’s point of
view, and as it was something new
sprung on the meeting, he asked the
board whether it was necessary. H. T.
Botts said it was not absolutely nec
essary, but it would be a fine thing,
but in estimating the cost it generally
exceeded the amount. R. W. Watson
then made a motion that the board
make an investigation and report in
one month the cost of a central heat
ing plant. There were over 50 per
sons present and on a vote being
called the chair was in doubt, and on
a rising vote 12 votes for and 7
against the resolution.
Mr. Watson made a pertinent re
mark that it was those who had no
children attending the school who
voted against it, to which Fred C.
Baker took exceptions. Fred Minich,
the janitor, knocked the argument out
of those who had contended that one
boiler was dangerous and liable to ex
plode, when he stated it was in good
condition, had stood a water pressure
of 75 pounds and al) the pressure that
was needed for heating was 10
pounds. _________________

One of the most pressing needs of
Oregon today, in the way of general
information of importance to all of
us, is an adequate survey of the state.
It is almost astonishing to learn
that in our entire history, there has
never been produced a single map
made by Oregon engineers of Ore
gon geography. All maps or surveys
nave come to us from eastern pub
lishers, and to any one at all familiar
with the actual facts as to the politi
cal and natural features of the com
monwealth, these outside surveys are
hopelessly grotesque.
As an instance of the service we
have been receiving, the common
maps show not less than fourteen of
our thirty-five county boundaries,
grossly incorrect. The last new coun
ty is not shown at all. No indication
of the great settlement of lands in
Central and Eastern Oregon is to be
found.
We have six great featured state
highways, like the Columbia and Pa
cific, but none are even hinted at. We
have a great agricultural development
throughout the Willamette valley and
elsewhere, with a network of county
roads pointing to it, yet no roads are
to be seen. Our sixty live, operating
logging roads, representing our first
and chief industry in the state are
scattered over the coast, but not one
can be found on the map. And these
are but few of the many things we
peed to have shown on an adequate
survey.
We were greatly interested this
week to learn that at last this matter
has been taken in hand by some
of our Oregon engineers, and that a
state map has been prepared that is
both accurate and adequate.
The map is made in Portland, where
access is easy to all government and
state records, and is as accurate and
complete as it is possible to obtain.
It features in a very striking way, the
six Great Stale Highways and the
main county roads connecting with
them; gives the loggong yoads; forest
trails; correct county boundaries, all
towns and postoffices up to May 1st,
and all other details of importance to
any citizen of the state. It contains
fully one thousand more points of in
formation than any survey yet pro
duced and this is just one hundred per
cent increase in this respect. This is a
map every citizen of the state may
well be proud of, and should possess.
We have been delighted to secure
one for ourselves, and advise you to
do the same.

TILLAMOOKERS
ATTENTION.
We Need Your Support.
All signs point to some mighty
good baseball in Tillamook this sea
son. The fans have arranged with
some semi-professionals as well as
some professionals who have stepped
with the best to come to Tillamook
County for the season. They are
gentlemen in every sense of the word,
clean-cut chaps and we are very anx
ious to arrange work for some of the
boys and hope that all Tillamookers
will co-operate to the extent of help
ing us find some kind of employment
for these players in order that we can
boast of having the fastest amateur
team in lhe northwest. Any work you
have in mind al the present or in the
near future will be considered a big
favor bv notifying H. Millis or the
Headlight office. The boys are entitl
ed to the moral and financial support
of all people who love the great
American game. When Mr. Millis*
name is attached to the management
we all know that it means real base
ball—the classy kind that's worth
looking at. Lets all get behind the
fans and boost and help locate jobs
for the players who are coming to
help give Tillamook a winning team.
