COUNTY COURTS OF TILLAMOOK
AND WASHINGTON GET
TOGETHER
Main Objection to Wilson Road Is
Heavy Grades
Exchange of letters between the
Judge of Tllamook county and the
Judge of Washington county con­
cerning a plan for shortening of the
Wilson river road and eliminating
heavy grades through the Wilson
river gorge, resulted here last Mon­
day in a conference at the Tillamook
court house between the judges and
commissioners of the two counties,
where the matter was discussed for
several hours.
The proposed plan Involves a pre­
liminary survey for the relocation of
portions of the Wilson river road,
and cutting down of all grades in
the mountain sections of the two
counties to not more than six per
cent.
The belief of the two courts is
that the whole distance can be cut
down at least four miles between
Tillamook and Forest Grove.
The
distance by the present road is 56
miles.
By the Sheridan route the
distance form Tilamook to Portland
is 112 miles.
It is believed by
shortening some angles on the pres­
ent Wilson river road, the distance
from thi? city to Portland can be
cut better than 30 miles.
After talking the matter over, the
Tillamook court agreed to share the
expense of a preliminary survey, for
the above purpose, with Washington
county.
Accompanying Judge Goodin were
Commissioners Wismer and Ireland
The offic- '
of Washington county,
lais left for Hillsboro immediately
after the conference.

The new government dredge is ap
proaching completion.
Ten work­
men are busy on the hull and it is
expected eo have It ready within »he
next three weeks.
The work is under the Immediate
supervision of M. H. Higgins, who
comes from the head office of the V.
S Engineers at Portland, The new
dredge will take the place of the
old one which has been used on the
bay for a number of years past, and
will be a little larger than the old
d’ "dge.
The dimensions of t iie
craft now building will be 70 feet In
length, with a beam width of 30
feet and with a hold depth of 5 feet.
When finished and ready for opera­
tion, the new boat will bear a ser­
ial number instead of a name and
will be in charge of Captain John
Groat, well known in connection
with harbor work on the bay.
Engineer Higgins was in charge
of the Emergency fleet work at Coos
Bay during the war and superintend­
ed the building of 10 ships fbr a cor­
poration during that period.
ATTEMPTED WRECK
What evidently was a dastardly at
tempt to wreck home-coming autos
from a dance at Rockaway at a late
hour Wednesday night, failed to ac­
complish its purpose, although sev­
eral of the parties who encountered
the road obstructions, had a close
call. Some party or parties, at pres­
ent unknown, placed ties crosswise
along the highway at Intervals, near
the Miami crossing, and had a car
left the road it would either have
crashed Into the railroad track on
one side or a steep bank on the other
side. From what has been reported
of the occurrence, it seems that the
miscreants several times replaced
the ties, after owners of preceeding
cars had removed the obstructions
It Is understood that the matter was
reported to the sheriff by some of
the parties to the adventure. The
guilty parties are either hardened
criminals or fools, as, upon arrest
and conviction, they would stand a
good show to go to the penitentiary
or In case of the death of any of the
autoists, they would face a charge
of murder. It is to be hoped the
guilty ones will be caught and
taught a wholesome lesson.
